State's Farm Income Set MARKET IN SOUTH At $128 9 1131. 9 000 For 1924 T OTAL cash farm income for the state of Montana is placed at $128,181.000 from the sale of crops and livestock . for 1924. In 1923 the total was fixed at $97,656,- 1100. The statement is issued by the State department of agriculture from reports made by the Montana co-op- erative crop reporting service. Most of the increase of 1924 over 1923 came from crops which returned $74,367.000 in 1924 as against $46,- 784,000 in 1923. livestock in 1924 returning Mt 814`000 against $50,- 872,000 in 1923. Estimates from sources other than the state department of agriculture give the actual return for 1924 to farmers and stockmen as substantial- ly greater than $128,000,000. some estimates reaching approximately $200,000.000. Actual value of the crop, a large part of which is con- sumed on the farm, together with livestock, is said to be in the neigh- borhood of $210,000,000. Fergus Leads Fergus county continues to lead the state, wi s th a total crop and live- stock income in 1924 of $8.606.300, while Sheridan county with $6.962,- 700, has displaced Yellowstone for second place. Other eastern and northeastern counties also made big gains this year. due largely to in- creased irteome from wheat and flax crops. With the exception of a few counties west of _thdivide .where damage to fruit crops, dry weather. and other factors combined to cut down farm returns, practically all countles show improvement for farm Income in 1924, as compared with 1923.

The horse market was discussed by Leon McNicol, manager of the asso- ciation, who is compiling market da- ta. He said it is possible several car- loads of horses will be shipped in the Lear future to southern markets. The following board of directors were elected for the ensuing year: C. L.

Leon McNicol was elected secretary -treas- urer and his services as manager were retained for another year. STILLS ON EXHIBITION The stills that have been captured by the authorities during the past year in the different raids made upon moonshiners were exhibited in front of the county jail and a large crowd of curiosity seekers viewed the re- mains. A picture was taken of the exhibits and then the vessels were destroyed. ,The junk will be sold to the highest bidder and the proceeds turned into the county treasury. Comity Agent Leader Tells 'of Year's Extensioira Work V.--SX-S-TEMATIC effort to the improvement and develop- the counties where or!Tanized exten- ment of Montana's agriculture as sion work is carried on, there are directed by _theAd_outana State Col-__ a i so one or more _live _stock shinning lege Extension Service in its coopera- tive work with the farmers of the state, has met with marked success during the past year, says J. C. Tay- , assistant director of Extension and County agent leader. Discussing briefly some of the work done during 1924 Mr. Taylor says: \Meetings demonstrations, tests, cooperative ventures, home im- provement work, boys and girls club work and other lines of effort di- rected by the Montana State College Extension Service, were taken part In by 208,028 people from the farms of the counties where organized ex- tension work is carried on. This means that every man, woman and child on these farms averaged slight- ly under two contacts with the Ex- tension Service during the year. Demonstrations and tests were taken part in by 7,003, meetings and gath- erings were attended by 135,079, and 53,922 personal letters and 468,295 circulars of information, bulletins, pamphlets, etc. were sent out. Exten- sion workers visited 12,895 farms and farm homes, and 55,970 calls were made at the officers of exten- sion workers for information and assistance. \The development of pure seed production and the introduction of its use into the farm practices of the state has been a leading endeavor of the Extension Service. One county _expects to plant all of_ita 1 925kspring wheat crop to pure seed as the re- sult of an importation of a few bushels of registered seed four years ago. Other counties have similar aims, not only with wheat but with all important crops grown in Mon- tana. The production of registered and certified seed is developing into a business of first importance in a number of counties, and cooperative marketing organizations, made up of farmers, are finding markets for this seed in other states. In this way, not only are new farm industries being developed but Montana's high class products are gaining the attention of other farmers throwhout the nation. 'The pure seed work is an excel- lent example of the cooperative work of the Montana Experiment Station and the Extension Service. Through extensive- experiments. the Experi- ment Station has discovered and de- yploked, acclimated,.. high quality. productive varieties and strains of certain crops. With this seed as a starting point, the Extension Service places Small irencrants with certain in- dividual farmers that it may be thoroughly tried out under farm con- ditions. If the seed meets the varied conditions in a desirable manner, farmers are encouraged to grow seed plots /or future seed supplies.\ Discussing some of the phases of the work with live stock as carried on.by the Exension Service. Mr. Tay- lor says in part: \The work of the Extension Service with live stock is varied and important. In general, that work deals with .the improve- ment of live stock and assisting stock- men through the introduction of pure bred or high grade animals; by fostering the organization of live stock shipping associations, the con- struction of dipping vats, the working out of feeding and management prob- lems, the control and prevention of disease particularly such diseases, as black leg, tuberculosis, goitre and hairlessnese, hog cholera, nutritional diseases, and by assisting in the or- gatpration of various - kinds of co- operative associations.\ • Mr. Taylor ex,plains that thep,,gre. no A four i;iicv testing assoehflotia - atid a number of cowlesting clubs in dif- ferent sections of the state organ- 1z4d for the purpose of helping the man - with dairy cows to improve his stock, eliminate unprofitable animals, find out the best feeds and the best methods of handling cows tnder local associations, *hereby the man with a few hogs or a few beef cattle can pool his shipments with his neighbor, thus reducing freight rates and in - (Teasley - mums. - Td - tbis regard It Is interesting to note that the figure on carload shipments of hogs out of Montana in j1921 was 153 cars, while in 19'24 thi figure had increased al- most ten times. \In one county the encouragement of small flocks of sheep for the farms of the county has had the result of practically doubling the sheep popu- lation since 1920,\ says Mr. Taylor. The work of improving the quality of these farm sheep is conducted through yearly ram sales, which give the growers an opportunity of secur- ing high class breeding stock at the lowest possible price. A wool grow- ers association in another ‘ county has alterwith marked success. The pur- pose of the organization is largely to sell the wool of the znembers un- der the cooperative plan and next spring's clip of 500,000 pounds has already been contracted for at 50 cents a pound. 'rue association was started in 1921 and now has 190 members and represents approximate- ly 60,000 head of sheep.

BILLINGS TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS CIT YCOIINVIL AUTHORIZES $50,- 000 PURCHASE BY WATER DEPARTMENT. Aldermen Believe Sinking Fund Will Benefit by 'Receiving Higher Rate of Interest if Money Is Invested in Government Securities. ' Permission was granted the water department of the city of Billings to purchase $50,000 worth of United States Liberty bonds by the city coun- cil at a recent meeting. The water department has a sinking fund of $100,000 in the several banks of the city and officials of the department maintained that should the bonds no purchased a larger rate of interest could be obtained and the sinking fund increased. The department's bonds, maturing In 'a few years, are paid from the sinking fund. Budgets for the ensuing year from the several city departments were received and referred to the finance committee. Before the next meet- ing of the council, the various bud- gets will be carefully inspected and prepared for the approval of the council as a whole. The finance com- mittee will be augmented by Alder- men Burnstead and Covert for this work.
