POULTRY INDUSTRY
IN MONTANA FACING
CRISIS, SAYS SCOTT
"System of Egg Marketing Must
Be Improved or Neighbor
States Will Capture Trade
In an open letter issued on the eve
of the convening at Conrad, in Pon
dera county, of the Montana State
Poultry Breeders' association, J. R.
Scott of Helena, president of the as
sociation, urges poultry breeders to
do something to keep Montana on an
even footing with ether states in the
matter of marketing of eggs.
Mr. Scott advocates the collecting
of eggs at stations and the grading
and packing of them as Washington
poultry breeders do. His letter reads
in part;
Facing a Crisis
If I tell you rr.w that tbe poultry
industry of Montana is practically
facing a crisis, some of you will call
me a calamity howler while others
will perhaps get excited and dispose
of their birds. Nevertheless we are
approaching that very thing. The net
is drawing closer and closer and un
less we take advantage of our oppor
tunities we are going to be caught
one and all of us. There is no reason
to be alarmed if we but heed the
warning but I do hope to excite you
to the extent that you carefully in
vestigate the things I am telling you.
The states west of us are organ
ized. They have established collect
ing stations where their eggs are
candled, graded and carefully packed.
They are establishing a demand for
it
r
their produce which is so far-reaching
that New York City is one of their
principal markets and their goods
are commanding the very top price.
I have seen merchants offered the
best grade of Montana ranch eggs at
$7.00 per case and at the same time
Washington eggs at $13.00 per case
and they were buying the latter. They
knew they were dependable, uniform
and exactly as represented and that
is exactly what they knew the Mon
tana eggs would not be.
Only One Solution
"There is but one solution. Our
t
state association must do something
in addition to putting on a show once
a year. We must establish collecting
stations in various parts of the state
where the breeders will know tney can
ship their eggs and get the average
price. They must be handled strictly
on a co-operative plan. Each breed
er must be paid according to the
quality of the eggs shipped and the
f
stations must be uniform in their
candling and grading.

tail as to handling these stations. We
are working carefully and on safe
ground. Our State Poultry Extension
specialist has consented to assist in
standardizing the grading which will
relieve the association of a great deal
of expense.
"We hope to have the undivided
support of the State Extension de
partment including the assistance of
every county agent and home dem
onstration agent. In fact, we must
utilize and combine the strength of
every available faction. I have the
promise of our county agent that
our plans in detail will be taken up
at their conference held in Bozeman
the first week in January. The as
sistance they have given in so suc
cessfully establishing the turkey mar
keting associations is exactly the
same kind of help we need in estab
lishing our egg collecting stations and
I believe the task will be no more
difficult and equally as far-reaching
in effect if not many times greater.
Local Associations
At the same place we are. estab
lishing our egg stations we are natur
ally and at the same time building a
strong local association as each per
son shipping to the station would
necessarily be a member paying the
regular dues of $1.00 per year. In
place of having associations composed
of a few fanciers we would have
strong organizations composed large
ly of farm people who are producing
a large percentage of both eggs and
noultry meat. The Pondera Poultry
Growers association is such an organ
ization at the present time; having
nearly 400 members and a recognized
financial baking. They are staging
the state show this year in a manner
which will set an example for every
association holding the state show
for some time to come or I will resign
as a prophet.

There are always some people who
want to hunt and kill • swans, either
for meat or for sport, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and they are becoming hopeful be
cause of the nearness of the date
wnen the closed season imposed, De
cember 7, 1916, for a 10-year period
will have expired. They are bound
to be disappointed, however, unless
some specific action is taken by the
federal authorities to declare an open
season, which is unlikely.
The 10-year closed season prohibit
mg the killing of swans anywhere in
the United States was enacted under
the provisions of the treaty between
the United States and Great Britain
UNLAWFUL TO KILL
SWANS ANYWHERE
IN UNITED STATES
^ or protection of birds migrating
between the United States and Can.
ada. The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey, which administers the migratory
bird act, says that the Federal law to
enforrce the treaty prohibits the tek
ing of migratory birds except as per
mitted by regulations thereunder pro
mulgated by the president; that even
though the closed season does expire
December 7, 1926, it will still be un
lawful to kill these birds until the
treaty regulations are amended per
mitting them to be taken during a
stated open season. Exception is
made, however, when they are to be
taken for scientific purposes under
permit of the secretary of agricul
ture.
Hopeless
In a motor accident case recently
the motorist said that the injured man
would persist In walking right In th<
middle of the road. Judging from tin
state of some of our roads we think l -
auite possible that the unfortunate
pedestrian had got into a groove.
