BRITTAN) • T HE farmer, especially the farm- er in the United States who is engaged in the production of grains, would like very much to be able to look ahead and see what is td happen, I f any- thing, to grain val- ues during the en- suing six months. -- Gra i a tarulerL want to know what they may expect in prices for their 1925 crops. Winter wheat was remarkably large in volume and which comprises high in quality; and, fortunately for two-thirds of the us, the output of our competitors total wheat pro_ has been short. This, together with uction of the Un- a somewhat stronger demand in im- ited Staten has porting countries, will give to pro - been planted to an ducers of the United States an ev- acreage estimated erage of about 35 cents per bushel W. F. Britten at a 6 per cent increase over that of a year ago. There will, of swum, be some wheat winter -killed. but whether or not this amount will exceed the annual average, is very questionable; in fact, late advices say, emphatically no.\ The spring wheat acreage will un- doutedly be materially expanded this year, and a survey of central Montana -just completed shows probable increase of 25 per cent, so that conditions will be considerably changed, and total wheat sowed will be substantially enlarged for the first time since 1919; reversing the almost unbroken downward trend since that year. There has been good reason for the downward trend in wheat acreage Why He Succeeded From hard work on a farm to the study of medicine in Cincinnati, where he was graduated in 1862, was the course which Dr. R. V. Pierce took. In his younger days he practiced med- icine over a large district. It was then the Lew oil fields near Titusville, Pa. Finally he determined to put up some of his prescriptions in ready -to -use form in order to reach a larger number of families. , He thus early moved to Buffalo, N. Y., and established the World's Dispensary, where he put up Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the blood as well as the Favorite Prescription for women, care- fully preparing them from roots, barks and herbs and placed them with druggists ev- erywhere. During the last sixty years Dr. Pierce's Discovery, for the blood, has been sold in larger quantities by druggists all over the United States than any other medicine. It is a tonic in its effects on the stomach and digestive apparatus; an alterative in its action on the blood, liver and skin. It increases the appetite, stimulates the di- gestion, enriches the blood, and makes both men and women feel as they did when they were young and care free.

Most. during the last five years. War de- mand expanded acreage 50e, from a prewar average for all wheat of 52 million acres to 77 million in 1919. With the break and continuous de- cline in price this gradually subsid- ed to 57 million acres for the 1924 crop. The slow adjustment in acre- age in this country and the growing surpluses in Argentina and Canada where wheat can be grown cheaper than here - , caused -distress to our pro-, ducers. The year 1924, in spite of reduced plantings the previous fall, our crop entitled to every help by law, tariff, credit or any other consideration that can be given them and that which may assist them in securing every possible advantage rightly in- herent with their voeation. There have been so-called agricul- tural relief bills without number, offered for the consideration of the farmer and both branches of Con- gress; there have been -finance and other plans tentatively discussed and considered, but after all the smoke has cleared away, we can only point to one actual step.that has been tak- en and placed in operation during the past year. President Coolidge stated, \Co-op- eration must start from the soil,\ and with this as a key -note, the first co-operative grain handling organiza- tion, with a scope sufficiently large to convey the actual products from the farms to the consuming populus of foreign countries, was instituted. This gigantic farmers' co-operative marketing machine, The Grain Mar- keting company, has leased, subject to purchase, all the properties of four of the country's largest grain firms. This company is a farmers' company whose stockholders MUST BE producers of grain. The company began business on July 28, 1924, and handled grain in large volume from the first day.erhe company directed its energies to the handling of wheat with the idea of rapidly working off the United States export surplus in advance of Canada. Argentina and Australia, all of which countries have later harvests. The theory was that if this could be done before the competition of other exporting countries might lower the world prices, we would have dis- posed of our surplus advantageously. veould be independent of the world situation, and behind a tariff wall oP 42 cents per bushel; and have a do- mestic market undisturbed. • In August. the first month of the activities of the new company, ex- ports of wheat and wheat flour frOm the United States were six per cent 'above those of the previous year; in !September 77 per rent; and in Octo- ber more than double. By the mld- I dle of November half of our export- able wheat surplus had left the coun- try. Existing contracts for export at that time were estimated to bring the total to 200 million bushels. which did not leave a very burden- some supply to move before the ar- rival of the new crop. Since the war, purcvhases of our . grain In European countries have been made largely , through console latelragencies. The Grain Market- ing (nnipany handles a large propor- tion of this country's grain. Is under experienced manegetnent. and has. therefore, been able \to c1e4J on even terms with the large purchasing ag- encies in foreign countries. The company has made no state. various grains It Is handling the , year, except to sey that the tete) amount of its business is greater then the combined volume of the four component companies in any year of their individual history. • The total quantity of grain of all the company's or - more than for last year's production. The 1924 estimated wheat income is 300 milion dollars over the previous year. This gain, due to conditions fav- orable to us, is a pretty insecure foundation upon which to plan for a larger production the coming season. Considering the situation in the light of general world conditions in wheat eith the low yields in Canada, Argen- tina and Europe this year, the reas- onable expectation that yields in both Importing and competitive exporting countries will return to normal in succeeding years, and that Russia will eventually again be able to ex- port wheat, it must be concluded that increases in domestic wheat acreage are attended with much risk It would seem that only by a for- tuitous combination of circumstances /bat farmers may secure satisfactory results in 1 1 32 - 5 - , - Trom - any strtreta - nti-- ally larger wheat planting. The strictly wheat farmer of 1925 should by all means eliminate the cost of extra hired help; likewise, he should not undertake to finance the undertaking with money on which he must pay interest charges. iginating territory is about 1,200,- 000,000 bushels per year, and the view prevails on the Chicago Board of Trade that the new company is handling between one-third and one- half of this amount. It is known to be buying half or more of all the grain arriving in Chicago and it is al- so known that its proportion of sales for export is very large. The Grain Marketing company, be- ing organized in a way to provide for ownerahlp by producers of grain, has as its sole objective the pros- perity of the producers. The chief profits to the producer - owners are expected to come in the handling economies which may be in- troduced; in the higher price which the company will try to secure; and in the greater stability which the company will try to bring to the in- dustry in general The strength of the company lies in its producer outlook which views the grain crop of the United States as a unit to be sold in the interest of the producer. If it can be firmly entrenched as a farmers' company, doing at least its present proportion of the total business, and if it can re- tain superior generalship in its oper- ating management, it will undoubt- edly have a wholesome effect on grain prices, securing for the farmer of the United States somewhere near the best returns that economic con- ditions justify, and introducing a larger degree of certainty into the grain , price level. We have been discuesing this or- ganization as if it were completely established. The fact is that only preliminary steps have been taken towards producer ownership of the grain properties.

Thereafter it must pay for the appraisal value of the property of the old companies (approximately estimated at $16,000,000) as rapid- ly as possible. The contemplated period is five years, but no limit is named in the contract. It is planned to raise the money by the sale of stock to grain farmers. It is rum- ored that this is nearing successful completion. We have gone so carefully into dis- cussion of this institution, for two reasons First, the question has often been asked the writer as to what. why and how this comprehensive or- ganization was to function. Second, it is the first co-operative enterprise of grain farmers, with sufficient scope to carry on the theoretical, ec- onomics.: distribution, which must be the foundation of co-operative success.

HOWARD WELCH) The Montana State College. T HIS is the right time to get rid of tuberculosis in poultry. No matter how badly infected the flock, nor how badly infected the premises, the disease can be entirely eradicated at practically no expense. Enclose the poultry house and the whole flock of hens in a tight fence and do not let a bird get out. If the flock is infected with tuberculosis, they will all die of the disease sooner or later. Let them die inside the fence where they will not infect the healthy poultry. At some distance make a tempor- ary makeshift shelter, and raise young chickens as usual. Set eggs under healthy hens (the eggs from the quaranteined flock are perfectly alright to hatch), use an incubator, or buy baby chicks if desired. These chicks will be healthy. Let them have the run of the place. The sun- light_will kill off any disease germs that may be around, though a gener- al cleanup of the premises would help. During the summer use the eggs from the quarantined flock as usual. Use the healthy birds for the table as often as possible, the pres- ence or absence of white spots in the liver will tell whether they are healthy or diseased. In the fall all remaining quaran- tined birds should be killed off, the fence torn down, and all litter in the chicken yard raked together and burned along with the roosts and the nests from the poultry house. The Inside of the poultry house, if it is desired to keep that building, should be thoroughly cleaned, the floor scraped. and the entire interior care- fully scrubbed with hot lye water. If the floor is of dirt, scrape off the first four or five inches and replace with fresh gravel. Whitewash ev- ery inch of the interior surface. Af- ter the house has been thoroughly cleaned and renovated, it should be thrown open to the air and sunshine for about two weeks. The young chickens may then be moved in Without danger of infection. Sentiment often spoils a job of this kind, as it may cause the owner to save out a few birds from the old flock-, thus providing a source of in- fectina...k_n_ . the new birds. Ordinarily this treatmer - rt - Ceill - ellidicateethe- sease from the premises; if it should break out again, the whole process must be gone through once more. BOZEMAN PLANS FAIR TO SUPPLANT STATE'S Gallatin county is preparing to re-establish the county fair this year, and George MI Lewis, chair- man of the county fair board has secured dates following the Mid- land Empire fair at Billings. The present plans of the fair board are to have the show from September 22 to 26, inclusive and this will take the place of the state fair at Helena which this year will be abandoned owing to the lack of an appropriation. The action of the state legislature In cutting the state fair appropriation to just enough to maintain grounds, thereby eliminating the possibility of a fair at the state capital for at least two years has aroused the en- tire city and rural communities of Gallatin to renew the county fair, the last one of which was held in 1914. Committees have been ap- pointed to work out the details this early in the year so that a success-. ful completion can be assured.

It was a custom observed by many of us, eepecially during the seventies and eighties to keep open house on New Year's day, when the gentle- men of the city would call. We serv- ed refreshments of sandwiches and coffee, sometimes egg nogg, and ice cream and cake to our friends who called. Some served wine and cham- pagne, while others more temperate and thoughtful omitted these re- freshments. Some gentlemen would come in groups in large fancy sleighs or cutters, while others would come alone. Cards That Are Prized To me this custom of keeping open house at the beginning of the year was especially pleasant. I have nu- merous cards of those who called, and nearly all of them have passed on to the everlasting shore. The cards have \Happy New Year\ print- ed on them with the names, and some of them have very amusing pictures in one corner. One card I have con- tains the names of Nelson Story, L. S. Willson, S. W. Langhorne, and Walter Cooper. Cards of E. B. Lamme and George H. Willson are dated 1878, and a card of N. E. Da- vis, one of our pioneer merchants, dated 1882, has a spray of flowers and shows the sun setting on the horizon. Dr. C. M. Chambliss was another caller. A card of Matt W. Alderson, then editor of the Avant Courier, with the Happy New Year greeting, shows a gentleman tipping his hat. Some cards that I prize most high- ly are those of the first 'Bozeman Sil- ver Cornet Band,\ the one of 1880 having the name of the organization in gilt, a floral design with the greet- ing, and the names of the following players: A. B. Charpie, leader; B. F. Fridley, J. S. Axtell, M. M. Black, E. B. Laname, M. Hacker, B. P. Bar- ker, J R. McCamman, John Kopp, Will Lockey, Frank Benepe, Ed Al- derson, Frank Esler and Charles Friedler. So far as known, the only ones in this group now living are Frank Benepe, who is in California, and John Kopp, who is in Oregon. I have, also, a card from the band in ••• 1882, and I am putting these in my scrap book which includes ovents of the west from 1861 to the present time. In thinking of these by -gone days, many sweet and happy thoughts are mingled with the sadder ones. Most of those I have mentioned have pass- ed over to the ever shining shore, while those who are left are seeing the sun slowly sinking in the west, and only the sons and daughters will carry on the memories of those who came before, who began the social events of this, our beloved state, of Montana, in 1864. James Monroe was the first of the presidents to have an open-air in- auguration. o - A meadow ant's three eyes are on the top of its head.
