DRY FARMING EXPEREIgE1s4T'S
ON NON-IRRICATED LAND
Investigations Crops
Wheat and Other Grains Can Be Secured N
Montana.-By Alfred Atkinson.

Investigations to determine some of
the farming possibilities of the non
irrigated level lands of Montana were
started during the spring of 1905.
The aim in taking up this line of
experimentation was not to test all
of the different crops and soil culture
methods that might be proposed, but
rather by using a few of the most
promising crops handled in the best
known manner, to determine II crop
returns were possible on the non-ir-
rigated lands of Montana. This ac-
counts for the fact that results are
reported along but few lines at this
time. These few results, however,
furnish an answer to the general ques-
ton by indicating that profitable crops
can be raised on the level lands of
Montana without the aid of irrigation.
Among the questions that the dry
farmer must answer before his farm
ing activities have been greatly de-

cination to two callow youths, and
finding it impossible to preserve the
peace between them, Josephine had
formulated the scheme of taking them
on alternate days, like two varieties
of pills, as it were. She remarked
casually that she had stopped their
visits to the house, as she disliked to
see them glare at each other, and,
moreover, her evenings were thus left
free for others. She did not explain
this, however, but insinuated parental
opposition and daily persecution Of

veloped is the question of what crops
to plant Because of the peculiar
crop growing conditions prevailing, it
is evident that the farm crops common

tons will not all be equally we'll adapt
ed to produce returns on the dry
farm.
In order that crop may be adapted
to dry land culture il must possess
certain characters. Some of these
which seem essential are strong early
growth, a comparatively strong deep
roofing system and early maturity
These characters are of value in as
sisting the crop to progress rapidly
during May and June when rains are
frequent and the weather is somewhat
cool so that maturity may be reached
before the hot days of the summer
set in.
Among all varieties grown so far the
Turkey Red is the highest yielder.
The average for all years at the diff
ferent farms is 35.7 bushels per acre.
At the Rosebud county sub-station the
yield of one plot of Turkey Red was
5S.17 bushels. In addition to its

CHICAGO WHEAT
P|T;PR|CES Wild

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-Conditions Dor
dering on panic prevailed today in the
wheat pit during the first few minutes
of the session and prices f1uctuated
nervously over a wide range, incidental
ly touching a new high record mark for
the season for the May delivery. On
initial transactions the May delivery
sold at 116As, which is u above the
former top mark recorded In the previ-
Gus session. An advance of " to 2 in
the price of wheat at Liverpool inspired
active buying here at the opening, which
caused advances of h@% to B@1. First
sales on May were 116A to 1854. Sew
eral leading commission houses were
free sellers on the bulge and this caused
a quick decline, May dropping to 115h.
Support by the leading bull, however,
caused a recovery to liz and for a time
the market held comparatively steady
with May selling around that figure.
AT the start corr prices were a shade
to A@% higher, May opening at $3.50
65%. Later the price dropped to 65k.
May oats opened BqA higher at 54%
