DRY FAR MING ENPERIM ENTS.
Professor Linficld and Assistants Report
Successful Season.
Helena independent.

Helena Independent.
Prot. r. B. Linfield, the director Of
the experiment station, is touring the
northern part Of the state in company
with Nj. j. Costello. land agent Of the
Great Northern railway, which is
furnishing part of the funds for Prof.
Linfeld's experiments in dry farming
in that section of the state. So far
the dry farming season will certainly
make a fine record: in the northern
part OF the state the season has been
the best ever known. The fact that the
amount of rainfall this year has been
above the average discounts a little
the results OF the years experiments.
AS they are to be continued for FIVE
years. however, they seem likely to
encounter a fair average Of conditions.
In eastern Montana also the year has
been successful beyond expectation.
The yield Of oats on the farm near
Forsyth promises t be Is bushels 10
the acre. In B%eaverhead the winter
rye is expected to run about % bushels
to the acre. which is regarded as very
satisfactory.
On the station farm 10 Bozemau
they are now cutting the winter wheat,
which will give q gooc average O
The third crop Of alfalfa is about to
be cut, and some inter- sting results Of
experiments have been obtained. 1t
has been apparently demonstrated
that the land which was planted last
year with only four pounds of seed to
the acre is yielding as many tons as
the land which was planted with from
80 to 81 pounds TO the acre. This
would seem to prove that many farm.
ers have beeu wasting the seed, which
is very expensive, by planting from Ii
to 80 pounds per acre. Another in.
teresting result was that q tract OF
land which last year was seeded with
both alfalfa and oats, and which
yielded 50 bushels of oats 70 the acre,
this year gave as many tons Of alfalfa
per acre as the land which was planted
with alfalfa alone. Apparently the
SO bushels OF oats were pure gain.
A curious fact is reported from the
sugar beet fields. The station is ex.
pe%rimenting with a dozen ditferen,
varieties this year. Several of these
and a similar fact il reported from
;he farmers tields) are apparently
sending up seed stalks and preparing
to produce seed. Whether they viii
actually produce seed or only &C
through the motions remains to b.
seen. The beet is nominally a blen
NAL, and produces seed only in thu
second year after planting. 1t will b,
curious If under the influence of tn,
particularly rich soil Of the Gallati,
valley it changes its Fixed habits. Thi
popularity is not a desirable one. fol
the beet is valuable only when tn
root devotes itself energetically to tn,
process OF storing up energy for tn,
second years growth.

COUNTY TEACHERS
IN CONVENTION
Schoolma ms and exc School
masters Take Hammond
by Storm
COTTON FAILS TO APPEAR
Some Disappointment Felt at Alb
sence of State Superintendent,
But Work Goes On.

Hammond enjoyed an annual bless
ing, the presence of the Lake county
teachers today. There We're two hund-
red and fifty schoolma'ms and a few
more men. They gathered in the
Hammond building hall in the forenoon
and awaited the things to come.
That part of the program which read,
Invocation by Rev. w. H. Jones,
!" Music by the Hammond high school,"
Inaugural address by J. C. Hall" and
What the Teacher Should Read" by E.
o. Holland, came. State Superintend-
ent +. A Cotton failed to appear to
make his promised address.
This afternoon the teachers got down
to hard work. They divided them
selves into three sections. the high
school and grammar sections meeting
in the Central school, while the pri-
mary section was in session in the Ham
mond building hall The teachers this
year showed an unusual interest which
is probably due to the well-arrapged
program. The sessions will continue
tomorrow.
The Lake County Teachers associa-
ton is an annual feature in the school
curriculum and the authorities feel sat
isfied that they are getting results
from the meeting. Topics of vital in
terests are taken up for discussion and
talks on school matters are given by
some of the recognized speakers in the
country. Lake county is fortunate in
having men of it's own who are in this
class and they are called upon these
occasions. This year they are assisted
by E. o. Holland, assistant professor in
pedagogy at the Indiana state univer-
sity, and by Edwin 0. Grover of Chi
cago.
An evening session will be held this
evening in the Hammond building, at
which the Whiting high school will
give a musical selection. Prof. E. o.
Holland will give an illustrated lee
ture on the George Junior Republic.
The public is invited to this session,
as we'll as to the other sessions in the
day time.

matter of time until the deal with the
railroad will be closed.
Heretofore the Michigan Central rail-
road has made promises and promises
through its representatives and in each
case they would be forgotten and the
blueprints would disappear after the
excitement was over.
There is just one difference in this
case, however. This time the railroad
company is asking favors and it is the
irrevocable determination of the board
Of public works to grant no favors 10
any railroad company without adequate
compensation in the way Of depots
The railroads must make certain i'm
provements, therefore the city Will get
certain depots that they have been
waiting for so long. Those who have
seen the plans say that the new depot is
to be an adornment to the eastern por-
ton of the city where it is to be located.
