Montana counties will receive a county agent to boost production. College faculty are redeployed to staff the program, with seed and breeding stock lists, labor exchange, and seed certification through the agent. Farmers urged to cooperate, feed the war effort, and plant promptly using discs if plowing is late.
Montana farmers prefer the disc to plowing in normal seasons with time and fall plowing possible. When land has been cropped for years the practice should be condemned. Last fall offered little opportunity for fall plowing and certain regions faced additional conditions.
Farmers urged to build root cellars and use canned goods to preserve vegetables such as beans corn and tomatoes. Late hatch of poultry encouraged to boost winter eggs despite war, with emphasis on feeding and proper housing. Breeding stock and steers discussed to maximize meat output amid high prices. Lice control methods for fowl outlined along with pig feeding on alfalfa pasture and apple scab sprays using lime sulfur and arsenate of lead.
The piece argues that while beef, hog, and sheep prices rise and fluctuate, individual stockmen selling breeding stock for short term gain harms the nation. It urges a united approach to conserve livestock and crops, noting livestock take years to produce and crops mature quickly, impacting future supply and wartime needs.
