As_ /Mg Farmers' Short Courae Attract State -Wilde 'Interest From Montana State College i 0 provide the proper conditions 1 , no that the greatest forces of nature can operate effectively for the production of useful crops— this, in brief, is all there is to suc- cessful farming,\ says A. L. Mc Ma- hon, speaking of the farmers' short course which will open at the Mon- tana State•College, January 5, 1925. \How to provide these conditions, how to apply the laws of science. how to overcome difficulties or make their effect less noticeable, are the things with which the Farmers' Short Course deals,\ continues Mr. McMahon. This winter the short course at Montana State College, Bozeman, op- ens January 5, 1925, and continues for twelve weeks. The plan of con- ducting the work in unit courses, as was started last year, will be contin- ued. Under this plan a farmer or farm boy can take just the particular line of work in which he is interested, and leave out that which he does not particularly want.

Grad- uates of former short courses at the Montana State College, have gone back to their farms to find that the short time spent in the intensive study of the farm problems in which they were interested, has meant big- ger returns and a better farm life. \Farmers realize today, more than ever, that farming is a highly com- petitive business and that the un- trained man is handicapped in the race. Those who are eliminated by the law of the survival of the fittest. are very frequently the untrained and unskilled. The man who stays. through good times and bad, the man who is usually found at the top of the list of successful farmers, is the man who has taken advantage of his opportunities, who has trained himself for his job. \The Farmers' Short Course at Montana State College. trains for suc- cess. It comes at a time when farm work is least pressing, when father or son, or both can best be spared. There are no tuition fees and liv- ing costs at Bozeman are held down to the lowest possible point.

J. Jensen, of Montana State College who will have charge of the exhibits from this state. According to Mr. Jensen, this is the fourth year for the Portland show, and in previous years, while exhibits from this state have been comparatively few, Montana has al- ways given a good account of her- self. In addition to its excellent perform- ance in past years, Montana has a special interest In the coast show in that it was started by a former Mon- tanan. Fred Bennion, former ath- letic coach and assistant county agent leader at Montana State Col- lege, and now county agent of Um- atilla county, Oregon, was the prime mover in the organization of the Pa- cific Northwest Hay and Grain show in 1921. Since then the show has been incorporated with the land prod- ucts and manufacturers' exhibits and the Pacific International Livestock Show, making the combined event one of the largest and best exposi- tions in the country. County agents in the leading grain counties of the state are arranging exhibits for the show. The grain show is conducted as nearly on a utility basis as is possible to make it. Weekly Market Letter By WEILLER & WEILLER CO., South St. Paul, Minn. Wednesday, October fit 1 9 24 The packers have been very Indifferent buyers during the past week. Trade liv- ened up a little towards the latter part of last week. but went bark again, both here and In Chicago. owing to heavy re- ceipts both Monday and yesterday. and is very slow and draggy today, and pros- pects are that we tvill have a fairly heavy run tomorrow and next Monday. and we do not look for any better action. The stocker and feeder trade is about the worst of the season. All buyers seem to he holding off until they are mni-e pain regarding the outcome of the corn, sit- uation. They are also waiting for heavier receipts at all markets, so that nrlees will be more in line with what they think they should pay. Last Saturday we sold 192 head of feeding steers and yearlings that averaged n Tittle better than SOO lbs.. at $7.00 per cwt. These were deborned Hereford steers. and was the top sale for this weight e cattle for the year. They were shipped by Prank Jones and R. It Black of Hinsdale, Mont. We are pleas- ed to list below a few sales made on west- erns Monday. and they about show the strength of the trade on North Dakota and Montana range stuff.

Market Is in good shape, with prices if anything, a little stronger than last week at this time. We look for a good active market with no material change in prices.

GROWERS OF BEANS WARNED AGAINST A NEW DISEASE DISEASE known as \Mosaic\ has been found in many of the bean fields of the state, and Prof. H. E. Morris of the botany de- partment at Montana State College urges bean growers to prepare now to combat the trouble. He advises that in certain sections of the country where bean growing has been carried on for a number of years, this di- sease has caused as high as 50 per cent losses. No such losses have oc- curred in Montana as yet but reme- dial measures must be taken at once to prevent a condition of this kind in the state. • Leaves of affected plants become puckered and distorted and are of- ten blotched with yellow or greenish yellow spots. Prof. Morris advises that no cause of the disease has as yet been discov- ered but that it is known to be trans- mitted from one plant to another by !insects such as plant lice. The di- sease is carried over from one year to another in the seed. Beans from the infected plants produce approxi- mately 50 per cent of diseased plants. Thus if the disease is not checked it is constantly on the in- crease and losses continue to grow. The best control measure, accord- ing to the botanist, is for each bean grower to set aside a small plot of ground for the purpose of growing his own seed. This plot should be planted with beans from selected plants, known to be disea§e free. During the growing season all in- ferior and off -type plants should be rouged out, leaving only the healthy uniformly maturing, desir- able plants to bear seed. This seed should be used for planting the main field the following year. TRIES NEW METHOD OF CAR- ING FOR LAMBING EWES A sheep company in one of the range states tried out a new way of handling new-born lambs, during the lambing season last spring. The ewes were all out under tents, and all lambs born within a 24 -hour period were put together in bunches in charge of one herder. The ewes were then fed a quarter of a pound of cake a day and later turned out on the range. Small brush corrals were made and the ewes and lambs were placed in these for about twelve days and then turned back into the larger heisis. The idea was tried out to prevent losses from starvation which sometimes occur when ewes are turned out after lambing and feed conditions are such that they dry up. Blaine County Boy Won Most Points County Agent G. W. Gustafson re- ceived word from the state fair man- agement recently that Guestaf Ver- cruyssen of Blaine county received the highest number of points in the boys' club department, and had been awarded a spool of wire by the American Wire company. Young Vercruyssen won $75 in prizes from the exhibits he made in the Chester White hogs at the Billings fair and the state fair. Only bushel samples will be allowed in the competition, thus eliminating the possibility of hand picking. Ac - co ding to the official rules of the position, issued by the manage- ment, entries will be open to grain and hay growers of the world. Three Million Pounds Is Yield of Flax Seed in West This Year Upwards of 3,000,000 pounds of alfalfa seed is estimated for Mon- tana and the Dakotas for this sea- son on it basis of a survey made re- cently by the hay, feed and seed division of the department of agri- culture, according to J. C. Dia- mond, agricultural statistitian of the Montana co-operative crop re- porting service, In this area growers indicated an increase of 10 per cent in acreage cut for seed this year. It was too dry on the uplands in those states and grasshoppers did consislerable damage in scattered sections. Ilar- vesting was somewhat later than us- ual, the season being too cool for the best developments of the crop. Prices in Montana had not been es- tablished by September 20, but some growers were - offered $15-$18 per 100 pounds basis clean seed, for common and 830-$35 for Grimm al- falfa. These also were the prices most frequently mentioned in North Dakota and South Dakota. One of the growers 'exchanges in South Da- kota was advancing $14 for common and $24-$26 for Grimm, Baltic and Cossack alfalfa. The entire crop is estimated by the federal department to 'oe fully one- third larger than that of last year due mostly to increased acreage, which was encouraged by high prices for alfalfa during the past year and better weather conditions generally for saving a seed crop. Yields per acre varied considerably but in gen- eral averaged as good if not slightly better than last year. STAFF PREDICTS THE 1925 WOOL CLIP WILL YIELD 50 CENTS ON MARKET That eastren wool buyers are endeavoring to contract for Mon- tana 1925 wool clips at 40 cents a pound and that the sheep men should receive 50 cents for these same clips if properly marketed, is set forth in a telegram recently re- ceived by the Montana Wool Growers' association, from Matt Staff, president of the National Wool Warehouse & Storage Co., of Chicago, which concern has handled much of the Montana pro- duct in recent years. His wire follows: \Dealers are now attempting to contract Mon- tana 1925 clips at 40 cents. In view of the fact that 1924 clips are now easily marketable at well above 50 cents in Boston and fine staple territory is quoted at $1.50 clean and is steadily advancing, and in vieiv of short supply, Ac- tivity of dealers and larger ton- nage being taken by manufactur- ers on increasing orders for fin- ished product, our judgment is that the next clip will bring 50 cents or better, if properly mar- keted, and that contracting at this time would be indefensible. \As indicating the trend of the market, we have sold the J. L. Itapstad, Big Timber, 1924 clip at 53 cents, delivered in Boston, neting him around 10 cents more than he could have sold for at home.\ OUGHS Every few hours swallow slowly a quarter of a teaspoonful of Vicks.

STOCKMEN PROFIT BY CO-OPERATIVE DIPPING OF CATTLE m . ORE and more as time goes on the problems of the farmers are coming to be solved through community effort. In many Instances the individual efforts of one farmer to remedy a difficult sit- uation would be more than futile, but when a number of them have banded together to attack the prob- lem over a large area favorable re- sults have\follo wed. So states a re- cent bulletin from Washington. One of the latest community ef- forts is that of the recently formed organization and operation of dip- ping vats for the control of animal parasites which have caused great losses to livestock growers in years past. In Platte county, Wyo., through the leadership of the county agent, sufficient interest was aroused in the possibilities of eradicating mange and lice from livestock that community dipping vats were established. The members paid an equal sum into the treasury for the materials and did, the work themselves. Six plants were finished by the end of the year 1922, and last year the number Was brought up to 14. Two of these are for sheep only. The first year, 10,- 000 head of cattle -70 per cent of those infected with lice—and 1,800 head of sheep were dipped. Twenty- five thousand head of cattle, accord- ing to reports to the United States department of agriculture, went through the vats in 1923, no record being kept of sheep, hogs and horses. All dipping is done under state sup- ervision. Cattle growers estimate they have saved at least $3 on every head of stock dipped, through the saving in feed, increased growth and improved market conditions. 0 Preparing Turkeys For Market Turkeys that are to be &hipped to outside markets should be picked. Dry picking is not difficult but it does require a little experience to be- come preficient at it. Under no con- dition should birds be scalded if they are to be shipped to outside mor- kets, and even if local markets of- ten discount scalded birds. • We Spend Real Money For This Livestock shippers throughout the Northwest have repeatedly told us that our free weekly market letter was of great value to them.
