New York city from May 10 to 23,
but after conferences with many of
the larger exhibitors including the

agreed that Chicago, with its high

cities offered a marvelous market

should first display their wares.
Chicago Interested
There is widespread interest in
Chicago among business men, bank
ers and investors in general, over the
selection of their city for the initial
Pacific Northwest Commercial and
Industrial exposition.
Harry A. Wheeler, president of the
Union Trust company, has accepted
the chairmanship of the Chicago Ex
position advisory board. He was
formerly president of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
andj was national chairman *
committee to raise more than $ 2 , 000 ,

An intensive program of publicity
in Chicago and other cities of the

veloped. Already the exposition in
its relation as an advertising and de
veloping project for the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska had claimed
both favorable and widespread atten

trade publications of the country, and
endorsement fer the exposition has
been unanimous in the entire Pacmc

STATE'S LIVESTOCK
AND CROP OUTLOOK
SAID BE PROMISING
X
While the crop and livestock pros
pects for Montana for the coming
year cannot be described as especi
ally bright, a review of the "Mon
tana Agricultural Outlook,V just it
sued by Montana State college, points
to a number of factors which look
promising. The probability of con
tinned favorable prices for swine
during the year, the expected con
tinuation of the slow upward move*
ment of beef prices and the possibil
ity of deferring any great decline in
wool and mutton, at least until the
end of the year, gives a better tone
to the important livestock enterprises
of the state than to cash crop pr:duc
tion.
The wheat outlook appears none
QO favorable. The production of
ar( j spring wheat, which is the crop
£ c hj e f interest to Montana, was
sightly less last year than in 1924
aT1 d premiums have been favorable,

25 pe r ce nt increase in plantings last

ers of Montana may expect a price
above the world level due to the tar
iff as long as this country produces
less than is needed. But the demand
in this country is dependent upon the
continuation of the present activity
in building and other basic industries
and business forecasters are pointing
to signs of a possible slump in these
basic industries after the middle of
} the year. It appears fairly safe,
. however, to plant about the same flax
' acreage as last year, since the wide
; spread between present production
and consumption is sufficient to al
low fer a considerable falling off in
demand before the saturation point is
reached,
The "Montana Agricultural Ou*
look," just issued by the Montana
State college, discusses the situation
for the major crops of the state in
detail. Copies of the "Outlook" may
be obtained without cost from the

WOULD WIPE OUT
PREMIUM ON HIGH
PROTEIN WHEAT
Slight Increase in Hard Spring:
Wheat Production Would
Saturate Market
A slight increase in hard spring
wheat production in Montana and
the ether hard spring wheat produc
ing states of the northwest would
wipe out the premiums now being
paid for such grain, according t )
Dean J. M, Hamilton, economist at
Montana State college. Approxi
mately 130,000,000 bushels cf high
protein wheat are needed to satisfy
present domestic milling demand?.
The four spring wheat states of the
United States are producing approx
imately 120,000,000 bushels. The
10 , 000,000 bushel deficit represents
the margin of safety that is respon
sible for the advanced price for high
protein wheat.
Near Saturation Point
The acreage of hard spring wheat
is dangerously clrse to the saturation
j point, says Dean Hamilton, and only
the low per acre yield of last year
kept production from going beyond
the point of domestic demand. The
spring wheat acreage last year was
approximately 25 per cent greater
than the year before but the reduced
yield resulted in a crop total slightly
smaller than in 1924. If a normal
crop had been produced the United
States now would have a surplus of
high protein wheat to throw on to
the world market.
The economist explains that the de
mand for high protein wheat comes
through the use of such wheat for
flour blending with low protein grain,
The quality of the bard ml winter
1 wheat produced is a factor in the de
! , nifind ' that the hi ß her percentage
cf protein in this wheat, the fewer ad
ditional bushels of high protein spring
wheat will be needed for this flour
blending. As long as the states of
Minnesota, North Dakota, South Da
kota and Montana produce less than
enough hard spring wheat for domes
tic demands, some of this grain must
*>e imported from Canada, which pro
j ducas almost three times as much
bard »P™* wbeat as the United
| Stetes s P nn £ wheat states. The tar
J ,f [ P rev . ents the free flow of Canadian
l^ heat into th Q> Un J ted Stetes and
1 thus operates to the benefit of the
j hard wheat growers of the United
States. It will continue to serve as
a protection as long as the domestic
i supply is less than the demand.

sprin£r wheat e d xpect ^ 0 ^

^ Montana economist, and a
,
premium may be expected only as
Itng as production is kept within the
demand. If spring wheat growers
pi a nt same acreage as they did

rea lized, production should* exceed
demand and the premium for high

CITIZENS MILITARY
TRAINING CAMP AT
MISSOULA JUNE 12
The first citizens military training
camp ever to be held in Montana will
