TO EXPERIMENT WITH WHEAT
Special Agent of the Bureau of Agri-
culture Here.

culture Here.
A. r. Springer, special agent of the
bureau of agriculture, is in the city
this week, for the purpose of making
experiments in wheat growing in this
county He is from Bozeman, where
the work which he is about to pro-
mulgate has been started. In speak
ing of the work, Mr.. Springer said:
THE bureau of agriculture this
year will make experiments with GER
tain kinds of wheat in Montana. Last
year we did little, but this year it
is the intention to make it more gen.
eral. There are many kinds of grain
that might be grown in this state
that are not. Some OIL these species,
the department is convinced, will be
more productive than any grown at
the present time.
Il expect to spend about three
weeks here. During the spring | will
be in Cascade county, and expect to
have the cooperation of the farmers
there in the work.
For the past three years | have
had charge of the work in the state
of Washington, and the result is that
this year, especially in the Big Bend
country, there will be new wheat
grown, which will yield more to the
acre, under the favorable conditions
of the experiments, than has ever
been grown there. Last year the Big
Bend country produced in the neigh
borhood of 100000 bushels of wheat.
This year, | venture to say, the in
crease will be onethird. After we
are through with Montana it is the
intention to increase the production
here in the same ratio"

account.
