Dr. H C Gardiner of Anaconda conceived Montana Wool Growers plan to manufacture wool into cloth and finished garments for local markets. The approach aims to stabilize prices, create demand for Montana wool, and support the state's wool industry amid low prices and bank lending difficulties.
The Montana Hereford Breeders Association will hold its fourth annual sale in Helena on April 21, the day after the Montana Stockgrowers' Association convention. Fifty head of registered cattle from top breeders including Franks of Cardwell Donald of Melville Cook of Townsend and Upton of Lewistown are entered. The auction features eighteen bulls and thirty-two cows and heifers selected for top type and pedigree, inspected by a judge to ensure only premier stock. The sale emphasizes superior bloodlines such as Beau Blanchard Panama 76th and Panama 120th. With high freight and production costs rising, buyers seek the best livestock to ensure payoff in the Northwest market.
The wool trade faced ruin as prices and lending fell. Flock masters in Montana proposed partnering with mills to process home grown wool into cloth and clothing. The plan expanded to other western states and now aims to create a lasting market at fair prices with Dr. Gardiner overseeing the project.
Montana moves to license any seller of milk cream or butter from even a single cow under S B 206. The bill reorganizes the live stock commission and places dairy and creamery inspections under its authority. The state will pay 75 percent of the assessed value of cattle killed by tuberculosis, with limits on grades and purebred status.
A new measure lets the state board of health inspect dairies and creameries to curb disease and lets counties adopt inspections with no weaker standards than the sanitary board. It also sets milk and related product standards, fees for licensing dairies by size, and governs compensation for cattle condemned due to tuberculosis with defined caps and timelines.
Montana farmers plan more alfalfa clover timothy and Sudan grass with less grain due to last fall's low prices. Seed buyer Walter Card notes desire to cut labor while wages stay high and predicts more livestock farming. The Montana seed firm reports a Japan alfalfa and clover order, the first from that country. Spring plowing and early drilling underway across the state as grass and gardens green up.
Montana's disabled World War veterans are training in watchmaking engraving and jewelry repair at Bradley Polytechnic Institute in Peoria Illinois under the federal board for vocational education. They intend to return to Montana after completing studies to seek placement training and steady employment with Montana employers.
Sun River Big Game Tourist bureau, an association of Great Falls guides and packers, projects the biggest hunting and tourist season in Montana. The Sun River country south of Glacier Park is expected to attract hundreds of parties with elk, sheep, goats, deer, and other game.
The canyon is designated as a national park with no automobile access beyond Medicine Springs. Visitors must travel by pack trains to explore the vast region with towering walls and peaks. A never before explored cave near Lookout Mountain at 10 000 feet offers a $100 reward for anyone who boats on its subterranean lake.
Charles A. Smith recalls being the only surviving civilian wagon driver from General Miles' 1877 battle with the Indians near Snake Creek. He served at Fort Keogh, drove in the pack train, and notes four fellow civilians are now dead as discussions resume a memorial.
A damaged excerpt references a battle tale with phrases about familiarity with the events and related matters. The text is incomplete, offering only glimpses of the battle and those involved, without clear names or dates.
