GREAT NOR1bERN RAILWAY TO
| CONDUCT EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
By Cooperation With Farmers Of Montana
will Carry on important
Experiments

(6l The crops are to be grown
subject to the instructions
given by Professor Thomas
Shaw.
Professor Shaw will issue instruc-
tions regarding the best methods to
follow in preparing the soil for the
crop and also the proper methods to
be used in cultivating the growing
crops and will either In person or by
representative visit the farmers
chosen to carry out these expert
ments, for the purpose of co-operat-
ing with them and assisting them to
get the best results. 1t is expected
there will be considerable rivalry
among the various localities to see
who can make the best showing. The
great interest taken by progressive
farmers and by the local develop
ment organizations in Montana. has
been a great stimulus in creating q
greater and deeper interest In the
possibilities of Montana as an agri-
cultural state. The success of Mon
tana exhibitors at the Billings DR.
Farming Congress and at the Ma
tional Corn Show, Omaha. has bee
a potent factor in opening the eyes oi
the people of the state and the nation
to the wonderful possibilities OF
Montana's fertile soil.
Plans are already under way b,
many communities, to send exhibits
to number of the state and nationa
agricultural shows held outside
Montana next year. in order to II
Their convince the world that No

.'If congress acts favorably on
propositions discussed today by

on irrigation, orders will be issued
in the comparatively near future
that will cause the dirt to fly on
the irrigation project in the Milk

committee today to urge that favor
able action be taken without delay
on President Taft's recommend
alton that an issue OF $50, 900, 900
OF certificates OF Indebtedness, 10
be used on irrigation works already
under @av and projected, be
Authorized The indications are
that the house committee will act
favorab.y. A, the same time the
senate commute. on irrigation had
mp for hearing the bill providing
that allotments Of the 80, 900, 900
dollars of certificates be made as
approved by the president. The
chances are that both propositions
will be reported favorably and
passed by the senate and house
II so, the Milk River project will
not be long starting. as it has

jacent to their respective towns for
the purpose of enabling the railroad
representatives to select one OF tie

and soil expert, who has already done

able information relative to the pro-
ductivity of Montana's unmatched

IL as follows:
I'D Each farmer who engages in
such experimental work will
furnish where possible, six
acres of land which has been
summer fallowed the previous
year or that has grown cul
tiyated crop.
(2) He shall grow on two acres OF
the same as he may elect. one
acre of each of the following
crops: Durum spring wheat
srring rye; oats or white hull
less barley. The third acre
Is TO be sown TO field peas,
one half to be put in with the
grain drill. and the other half
to be drilled In rows and cul-
tivated. The fourth acre Is
to be planted to corn. The
fifth acre Is to be planted, one
half to field beans and the
other half sown to alfalfa.
The sixth acre Is to be sum-
mer-fallowed and sown to
winter wheat.
(3) When new breaking only or
part stubble can be furnished,
the first acre is to be sown to
fax. the second to alfalfa. the
third planted to corn and the
fourth to field beans. The two
remaining acres are to be
summer-fallowed. and one OF
them sown to winter wheat
and the other to winter rye.
(41 The above crops are to be
grown at the expense OF the
farmer, but from seed fur
nished free by the Great
Northern Railway. The grower
is to harvest and thresh the
crop at his own expense. and
In due time he Is to furnish
to the railroad an accurate
statement of yields. Tht
farmer retains the crop.
