FARM SCIENTIFICALLY
AND DOUBLE YOUR YIELD
SUMMER TILLAGE IS A GREAT BENEFIT TO THE SOIIKEEp
THE WEEDS OFF AND STORE ALL THE MOISTURE
POSSIBLE-DOUBLE YOUR YIELD WITH SCIENCE

Thorough tillage of the soil is
something worth while. The scien-
tifc tillage of the soil brings rich
returns for the labor. As an invest
ment there is nothing quite it's equal.
Do you realize what this means?
1t means that the actual value of the
land of the average township will be
increased three or four million dollars.
1t will be worth that much more than
where the farm methods are of the
old slipshod variety.
On an average township in the
arabic area there are probably 10000
area of land subject to tillage. 1t is
entirely possible, indeed quite prob
able, that by scientific tillage of the
soil the average crop in either the
semi-arid or the humid regions, can be
raised $40 an acre.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
the shadow of doubt that in the dry
country especially and elsewhere the
results are just as good, the average
production of wheat, for instance, per
acre can be increased from ] 9 tol 5
bushels now recorded, to so Or 60 bu.
an acre.
This doesn't mean an occasional
large yield, but it means regular
thing. What if it does cost So or $3
an acre more to farm this way The
difference between Is bushels an acre
and even 80 bu. an acre is worth
having.
But all this means a great deal to
the farmer, and it means great deal
also to the community in which he
lives to his country and state, to the
towns and cities and thier merchants
and professional men, to the railroads,
the shopper, the dealers, to everybody.
There is no occasion for controversy
as to what sum err tillage means or
that it means something entirely diff
| erent from the old and familiar sum-
mer fallow which has been followed
in some countries for centuries.
The term summer tilling" applies
to work where the land is carefully

The Great Northern Ry. Co. has
granted fare andone-third for the
Montana State Federation of Wo-
mems Clubs to be held at Great
Falls June 20 to 26 inclusive.
Those desiring to attend should be
careful to request a certificate from
the local agent showing purchase of
the ticket which is to be counter
signed by the general secretary of the
Federation and when such certificate
is presented the railroad agent at
Great Falls will collect one third
fair only for the return trip.
This announcement is pleasing to
all who are interested in this line of
work. The work accomplished by
the Clubs and Federation along GER
tain lines has been of considerable
benefit to the State and especially to
the locality in which they are organ
lied and existing.
The Rt. Rev. Bishop Lenahan of
the Great Falls diocese, will conduct
services at the Malta Catholic church

cultivat ed from early spring and no
weeds allowed to escape. There are
several objects for summer tilling viz:
/. To store all the moisture possi-
bic inthe soil Glow.
9. To admit the airin proper quanti-
tiestherebypromoting certain chem
i cal action which develops nitrates
and other elements for plant life.
8. 10 obtain a perfect seed bed.
4. 10 obtain perfec' soil condit-
on that a perfect root system may
develop.
5. By no means less, to obtain a
physical condition of the soil that shall
permit of as perfect control of air and
water as possible, fully appreciating
that the final crop yield depends very
largely upon this point providing a
dry season follows.
The familiar summerfallow" is
based on the theory that the soil
needs rest. Now that is Just what the
soil doesn't need, for soil at rest is
a dead soil.
Summer tallow - is quite generally
understood to refer to treatment of
field as practiced for many years,
usually allowing a fair to prolific
growth of weeds then to turn them
under with pillow and sometimes it
was narrowed few times and some
put in for the then supposed pur-
po Sc of !ettiug the land rest. But the
growth of the weeds is of itself proof
that the soil is not permitted to rest.
Summer fallow is therefore quiet as
apt to be harmful as helpful for the
soil.

The Methodist chnrch was the scene

REAL MONEY FOR WORK
ON DODSON-MALTA CANAL
ALL BIDS FOR WORK ON THE COOPERATIVE PLAN HAVE
BEEN REJECTED AND NEW BIDS WILL BE CALLED
-WATER FOR 10000 ACRES BY SPRING

and hope to advertise same within
very short time. The schedules of
these specifications are being SO pre-
pared that small contractors can bid
on the work.
There are more formalities in con
nection with the approval of con-
tract on the cash basis than there was
on cooperative plan. For instance
every person wishing to submit bid
Will have to forward with his propo-
sal a certified check as guaranty
that he will proceed with construc-
tiOn if contract is awarded him. If
his bid is rejected this check will be
returned to him. 1t will also be nee
essary for the successful bidder to
submit bond for the faithful perfor-
nance of his work.
This cash plan of construction will
be quite extensively advertised in or
der that as many contractors as pos
sible may have an opportunity to bid
on the work In this way competi-
tion can be secured and lower prices
i obtained. 1t is expected that current
contract bids will be submitted which
is considerable lower than the prices
in force under the cooperative con-
tracts.
When bids on the coope rative plan
were opened on the River lateral it
then looked as though the Dodson
South System at least as far as Alkali
creek could be completed this year.
On the cash basis the people of the
valley certainly should see water
on bout 10000 acres of land between
the Dodson dam and Malta by early
spring of 1910 if there are no unfor-
seen delays.
N office will be given in ample time
when the specifications for the work
are ready for acceptance of bids, and
when the forms can be obtained at
the office of the Reclamation Service
at Malta.

On May Goth and June 3rd the pro-.
ject engineer asked for cooperative
bids on the River Lateral of the Dod-
son South Canal. Results were very
gratifying, as practically the entire
work was covered with proposals.
Acting under directions these bids
were submitted to the supervising
Engineer and through him to the
department at Washington for consid-
Grafton. Definite orders were re-
ceived on June 9th to reject them and
to continue work on a cash basis.
Hereafter, all new contracts will be
carried out on this cash proposition.
Certain work covered by existing CO.
operative contracts is not yet COM
pleted. This order does not effect
the status of these contracts in any
way.
Under conditions existing during the
past season and early this spring the
cooperative contractors deserve great
credit for the excellent results OBJ
!. tanned, and the Reclamation Service
officials appreciate the efforts of these
people of the valley who helped to
make it success. The managing
director of the Water Users Associa-
toin deserves more credit than any
other person in the valley for the CO.
operative work accomplished. AS
his work along this line at present is
closed, he has voluntarily submitted
his resignation to the Water Users
association.
Work on the cash basis will be
good news to the people of the valley.
1t has been a considerable effort for
the Water Users to meet their obli-
CATION as expressed in their contract
of last July for cooperative construc-
tion. They have been hoping for
some time that work could proceed
on a cash basis.

tion Service are now preparing speci-
cifications for the completion of the

Mr.. Fast filed on a claim northeast of

he is Rural Mail Carrier at his home
