SEES PROSPECTS
FOR GOOD YEAR
With prospects for an attendance
total of 3,600 students in the Montana
institutions of higher education, offi
cials of the four units of the Univer
sity of Montana look forward to the
school year of 1923-24 as the most
successful in the history of the uriver-|
sity, according to Chancellor M. A.,
Brannon. The curve charts have.
sh wn a steady and growing increase
in attendance for 25 years, and al
though the time is appi'oaching when
the attendance will be restricted, no
regulatory limitations will keep the
regulatory limitations will keep the
enrollment from slowing a healthy
growth each succeeding year, the
ch .ncedor believes.
Tiie university in Missoula is ex-i
pected to have 1,700 students enrolled
this year and the state college at
Bozeman will have nearly 1,200, while
the State Normal college in Dillon
and the State School of Mines in
Butte will have proportionate num-
bers. although
School of Mmes will not have the per-
centage increase of the other units.
it is probable the
Registration days at the university
will be September 25 and 2G and ac
tual instruction will begin September
At the Dillon Normal registra-!
27.
tion will be on September 24 and in
struction will start September 25. The
other institutions «viil have opening
dates similar to those at the univer
sity.
There will be no check to admission
from the
to the State University from high
schools of the state until September
1, 1924, when the plan of admitting
without examination only the pupils
win among the two-thirds having the
highest examination grades will be
placed in effect. Under this plan the
lower third in each school will be ad-
mitted only upon passing an examin-
ation, although any student of an ac-
credited high school will have the
right to appeal to a board of arbitra
tion. which will be comprised of the
chancellor, the superintendent of pub-
lic instruction and the president of the
institution to which admission is
sought. Mitigating circumstances,
such as illness, or economic obstacles,
will be considered "very sympathetic-
ally," Chancellor Brannon stated in
explaining the plan, and it is expect-
ed that numbers will be admitted,
even though they do not pass an ex- 1
amination, providing they have a sub-(
stantial reason for not having been in
the first division.
It is stated that theie are two reas
ons for seeking to limit the attend
ance one being the desire to econom
ize financially and the other, as
Chancelier Brannon explained to "ac
cent in the minds of high school pu
pils the insistent need of putting
forth a real effort.''
September 1, 1927, will inaugurate
the plan of grouping subjects from
which time on graduates of accredit
ed high schools may be admitted to
the State University without an ex
amination only when their secondary
courses include three units of Eng
lish, one unit of American history,
and at least two other units of the
following groups: Mathematics, his
torical and social science, laboratory
science, foreign language.
"The University of Montana,
Chancellor Brannon stated, "is ac
centing quality, and this policy not
only keeps Montana in step with the
leading institutions in other states,
»
but it gives her a certain amount of
priority, for the university has many
good men capable of initiating, and it
'a getting recognition outside of her
boundaries.
Chancellor Brannon stated that the
university is securing this year as
members of the faculty men of rare
attainments whose ability will be re
flected in the progress of the univer
sity and whose acquisition will add to
the prestige of the state.
There are now 450 members of the
teaching staff, the numbetr having
been cut fropi 489. In these figures
are included administrative officers
and their assistance.
The University of Montana has
among its many distinctions the rec
ord for training at the agricultural
college in Bozeman a larger percent
age of men who

western school figures show. A sur
vey of graduation records in one west
ern state showed that approximately
only 6 per cent of the graduates of
its agriucltural college ever returnee
to the farm, but in Montana a sur
return to äctual
almost any.... ether
vey of the years 1896 to 1921, indue-!
ive, shows that of the 511 graduates,*
of which 19.6 had taken agricultural
j courses, 33 per cent engaged in farm-)
j ing for themselves or managed farms.!
Of this number 28 per cent went wJ
farming in Montana. Of the gradu-!
ates, 20 per cent engaged in teaching)
agi. culture in high schools and col-j
leges, 16 per cent went into college
experiment station extension work, S
cent went into commercial and
I professional occupations, 7 per cent
! became agricultural advisers to com
mercial concerns, 5 per cent went into
the service of the United States gov
ernment, and the others engaged in
miscellaneous pursuits.

UNEMPLOYED.
From July 1, 1922, to June 1, 19233,
the U. S. veterans' bureau in its na-
tion-wide operations rehabilitated 19,
^1 disabled soldiers. Of that number
ail but 961 have been placed in gain
ful employment
these are out of employment for rea
sons outside the control of the bureau,
such as sickness, the desire for a va
cation after the training course, or
refusal to accept the employment of
all except 414 of

2 per cent of the total number rehabil
itated that have not been placed in

WILL STAGE WOOL
GRADING DEMONSTRATION
Uncle Sam having recently estab
lished federal grades to govern the
marketing of wool, sheepmen from all
parts of the state are manifesting a
lively interest in the wool grading
demonstrations that will be given at
the Montana
state fair this year
1
September 25-28, inclusive, according
to letters received by Secretary B. T.
Moore.
For many years wool buyers fixed
the grade, and there was no appeal
fiom their decision. Now the United
States department of agriculture has
made regulations that govern grades,
the same as it has done on wheat,
corn, potatoes and many other crops.
The wool grading demonstrations at
the fair will give sheepmen an oppor
tunity to learn just how grades are
fixed, and will* enable them to deter
mine the grade, and consequently the
market value of their own clips.
There are seven grades of wool un
der the new
which provide that wopl in the fleece
shall be designated by the grade of
the largest proportion of the fibers of
the fleece.

AT FAIR ARE LARGE.

second in total production of spring
A committee of
wheat and fourth in production of all
wheat, Montana's prospective bumper
crop this year may enable it to crowd
South Dakota out of first place on
spring wheat production.
In view of this year's record-break
ing crop, the Montana state fair is
looking forward to many entries in
the grand sweepstakes special to be
awarded at this year's fair, Septem
ber 25-28, inclusive, for the best bush
el of Marquis wheat. A total of $175
in cash premiums will be awarded the
winner in this class.
For the first time in the history of
a fair, the usual judging standards
will
not prevail.
Montana millers will act as judges in
the sweepstakes class and will pass
commercial point of view, such as the
quantity and quality of the gluten of
the wheat, the flour yield, and other
factors that fix actual commercial
values.
This cash prize is only one of the
many to be awarded at this year's
fair, a total of $30;000 having been
set aside for premiums.
RETURN MILLIONS

AS WHEAT
I can not see how the wheat grow
! ers would receive any material bene
fit by a special session of congress,
said Senator Stanfield, of Oregon, in
a statement recently, replying to a
telegram from George C. Jewett,
Portland and Spokane, president of
the Northwest Wheat Growers asso
dation. Mr. Jewett has asked the
senator to join with other senators;
from the northwest in calling upon
the president to urge a special session
of congress.
Senator Stanfield announced that
he would introduce a bill to dis
tribute as a bonus to actual wheat
growers the accrued profits of thej
States Grain . corporation,
United
which now exceed $51,000 000.
"I believe," said the senator, "the
government can and should return to
the wheat growers as a bonus the
profits accrued by the United States
Grain corporation, which was in op
j eration during the war and for a short
time thereafter, inasmuch as this is
mor.'v that was made though the
wheat growers' efforts.
"i shall introduce a bill at the
opening of the 68th congress provid
ing for the payment of the accrued
profits of the United States Grain
corporation to the wheat growers of
the country, to be prorated on the
number of bushels of wheat sold out
of this year's crop. This fund amounts
to $51,044,332, and ts there will prob
ably be sold 700,000,000 bushels out
of this year's crop, it would provide a
bonus of about 7.29 cents for each
bushel of wheat sold out of this year's
production. This bonus would be paid
only to them original producers, not
to the speculators.
Befoie issuing his statement Sen
ator Stanfield discussed the wheat
situation with President Coolidge and
found as have other senators, that
the president is not disposed to bring
congress together, nor does he believe
that a special session would afford
any particular relief.
Setting forth
his own views re
■■ ,
garding the wheat growers and their
prospects for the future, Senator
Stanfield said:
"Before the legislative machinery,
could be put into action, the wheat,
to a large extent, would have pnssed
out of the wheat farmers hands into
those of the speculators. Theieioiq
it would only be a waste of the tax
payers' money and would not relieve
the farmer. Then, to fix a minimum
price, or provide government control
of the surplus, would tend to en
wheat production,
courage greater
when there can be no doubt that the
wheat growers' present trouble of low
price is the result of overproduction
of wheat.
"The wheat growers' ultimate re
covery depends upon a balancing of
production to the point of not over
supplying the demands of the market.
During the
wheat farmer patriotically respond
ed to the slogan that 'food would
win the war,' and large areas of tilla
ble land that had been used for the
production of other crops were con
verted into wheat land, with the re
sult that our production of wheat ex
panded from 636,655,000 bushels in
1917 to 862,091,000 bushels in 1 922,
an increased pi'oduction of 225,436,000
time of the war the
bushels.
"The expansion in production not
only applies to the United States,
but also to many other countries of
the world, and particularly to those
in Europe which were engaged in the
war.
"Senator Reed Smoot, who has just
returned from Europe, stated to me
that he believed that Europe, with its
bounteous crops this year can take
care of its own needs without any as
sistance from the outside world, be
cause their first thoughts on the ter
mination of the strife entered into
the production of the necessary food
stuffs, which was naturally the bread
supply. This stimulation has auto
matically limited the United States
wheat growers' market until it now
appears that for some years to come
the United
must depend upon home consumption
for the utilization cf their product.
It would be a future menace to
wheat growers if congress were to
enact a law authorizing a purchase
of this year's wheat crop, for eventu
ally the government would be com

a

competition with future production,
or, if now sold in foreign markets, it
