Treasure State Farm and Livestock STATE COLLEGEIS GIVEN HONOR The Leading Articles on This Page Are Prepared by Experts of the State Agricultural College at Bozeman.

E. Selby, askistant in farm management, discussing the nee farm bulletin just issued by the Mon- tana State college experiment station. This bulletin is entitled, \Big -Scale Corn Raising in Montana.\ It may be possible. sayssars Selby, that it will soon be as unwise to attempt to use corn -belt methods for growing corn in Montana as it is to grow corn - belt corn in this state. Big scale corn growing is a nea years with the increase in corn grow- ing in Montana. Under this method of corn growing corn fields of 100 or 150 acres are _not uncommon. and :300 acre fields are not unknown. Tell the corn -belt farmer about such corn fields as seem to be coming óréñd isitite - tri vogue in ltrontann and he will probably 'remark that Montana still has a lot to learn about growing corn. No doubt there are still . many changes coming in the ways and means of growing corn in this state but it seems reasonabily certain that corn growing on a large scale has come to stay. Visions of the husking job connect- ed with a corn growing enterprise of this kind are disconcerting until it Is found that cattle, hogs and sheep take care of that end of the business. The farmer has little use for the husking peg except for the little corn that he may use for seed and chicken feed. large amount of work upon it without seriously interfering a ith his other farm enterprises. The farmer with a large acreage of corn can take care of it only by using efficient, exten- sive, labor-saving methods. 'Decreasing the risk in farming is the most valuable feature of raising the smaller acreages. The corn can be depended upon to furnish feed, ev- en in poor years, for enough live- stock to supply a large . part of the iamily living and a little surplus to sell, thus helping to meet living and farm expenses. - Agricultural exten- sion workers have been advocating this type of corn raising for many years because of the importance of this risk -insurance feature. It now begins to look, however, as though increase the scale of their corn rais- ing. \The corn in the larger acreages is raised primarily as a 'fallow' crop. Raising the corn is a preliminary operation to raising wheat, and the lora produeed _is _in_ reality, a. la s product of wheat raising. As is. sometimes the case in industrial plants, however, the by-product mas be almost as important as the main product.\ SHERIDAN BOOSTS GOOD LIVESTOCK • (From Montana State College) T ',LE improvement of livestock Is •-• a major plank in .the program for stabilizing the agriculture of Thus, Montana's low -growing.
