State Agricultural College at Bozeman authors lead articles on soil tillage experiments funded by state and federal governments. The papers describe results from Montana fieldwork and urge readers to file away these insights for farm practice.
Montana won top prize for durum wheat at the International show in Chicago and earned multiple placings in hard red winter and spring wheat. A. J. Ogaard of Montana State College led Montana exhibits, with Montana capturing numerous medals and placing highly in corn exhibits by 4-H clubs, though one box was lost en route.
Agricultural editor of the Minneapolis Tribune and C W Fowler of Montana Mutual Dairy Loan Association toured western Montana to study conditions. They visited Stevensville Corvallis and Hamilton dairies and praised diversified farming as a path to prosperity.
Montana state veterinarian Dr. W J Butler reports a dramatic drop in bovine tuberculosis from 10.63 percent in 1911 to 0.426 percent by 1923 as area testing and the intradermic tuberculin test expand. The drive includes regulated testing, quarantine of reactors, and indemnity based on assessed value to prevent reinfection and protect dairy herds.
The Rocky Mountain Elevator company announces state wide prize contests for Montana farmers: best four 50 bushel loads of spring wheat win 225, 175, 125, and 75 dollars, and best four 50 bushel loads of field corn compete for similar premiums. The aim is to boost production and farmers expect strong participation. Cleaning wheat at threshing time increases value by 7.3 cents per bushel, based on Minnesota and Dakota experiments, with notable gains from effective recleaners.
The analysis notes that even a charge up to two cents a bushel would have raised the average net gain to 5.3 cents per bushel. It highlights the potential revenue difference for farmers and the effect of pricing on profits.
