Its western and southwestern sides
Are washed by the Pacific tides.
The geographical verses were con-
tanned in the pupils text book called
'sThe Key to Peltons New and I'M
proved Series of Outline Maps"
Among other things the following Is
found in the preface of one of these
old time volumes:
"With respect to the versification, it
Is merely necessary to say that the de-
sign has been to put all the important
geographical localities on the globe, in
connection with much valuable matter,
In a form which can be most easily
committed to memory, and it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the exhilaratina
effect of harmonious sounds will great
ly facilitate the acquisition of this
knowledge. and care has been taken
that none but popular and approved
airs be inserted in the work"
"Auld Lang Syne" appears to have
been regarded as an especially pop
ular and approved" air and was often
used. In the very first lesson the pu-
by singing the following to this tune:
The earth is a large ball or globe
Whose surface has been found
Three-fourths with ocean waves sub
merged
And but one-fourth dry ground.
Two hundred millions Of square miles
Earths surface doer embrace.
Eight hundred millfA people here
All find dwelling place.
Tongue twisting names did not en-
barrass the geographical versifier al
though the enunciation of all the pu-
pills probably was not perfect when,
for example. in the lesson on Asia
they sang to the air of "Bruce's Ad-
dress" such lines as these:
Now in modulations sweet
Asia's rivers we repeat
Obi first in Russia greet,
Irish river next.
Lost In sand behold Helmund,
Then northward seek Yarkund;
Be not turbid Oxus summed
Sihon river see
Ural river next in place,
Attruck and Koor river trace;
KILL Irmak then embrace
In our melody.
There were thirty-one states in thu
Union when singing geography was in
vogue, and the pupils were taught to
bound each of them in verse. Cali
fornia was then the newest state, hav-
ing been admitted in 1850; was the last
on the list. and its boundaries were
thus defined:
On California's northern side vast Oregon
is placed,
Both Utah and New Mexico upon the east
are traced,
Upon its southern borders next may Mex
leo be found.
And broad Pacific's sparkling waves com.
pose its western bound.
In thirty-four stanzas set to the
tune of "Bonny Doom" the geography
class would make tour of Europe
and CLEAN bits of information about
various countries and cities visited.
The tour would start in this fashion:
Now be our geographic rhymes

With the metropolis of each.
Norway. region bleak and cold,
By Christiania Is controlled.
Sweden, that Charles the hero bred,
Takes Stockholm for its chief and head
Russia in proud expansion sits
And to st. Petersburg submits.
Austria, with its imperial crown,
Vienna takes for its chief town
Turkey, in southern Europe placed,
Is by Constantinople graced.
Greece, once for arts and arms re-
nowned,
With glorious Athens still is crowned
Thus the geography pupils sang on

CONDITIONS ARE
NOT VERY BAD

For every settler who relinquishes
his homestead this fall. there will be
ten to file OH it next spring. Dry as
is Montana, compared with many
other states, the verdure in this
state is tropical. So says Wallace
Coburn. who returned to Helena Sat
urtlay from an extended trip along
the main line of the Great Northern.
1.-The best illustrations of condi-
tiOns in Montana and conditions in
other states was given by Kansas
man whom met on the trip" SAID
Mr.. Coburn. "This kansasn came
to Montana this spring and filed OH
homestead on the main line of the
Great Northern. He broke III his
land and put in crop. He was late
putting it in, he didn't understand
dry land methods and his crop with
cred and failed. He became disgust
ed and pulled stakes, declaring Kan
sas was good enough for him.
"When he got back to his Kansas
ranch he was astOnished. He had no
crop. his fields were as bare as Main
street, and the cattle were being fed
hay. There was not blade of grass.
lie thought Montana was about the
limit, but when he saw the conditions
existing in Kansas he said Montana
was like paradise. He came back
here and is going to remain. We
have not yet had to feed hay, the
range is not so bad as that.
''FrOm what settlers told me, con-
ditions in western Kansas, in Ne
braska and other middle western
states must be terrible. They have
no crops, no grass. and nothing to
feed their stock save the hay that
was put upa year ago. These farm
ers will lie forced to sell their horses
and their cattle for what they will
bring, as they have not feed enough
to carry them over winter. 1t is be-
cause the conditions in middle
western states this season that there
will he Il tremendous influx to Mon
tana next spring. Montana is dry,
but not nearly 50 dry as states that
have long been regarded as among
the best agricultural regions of the
country.
Gin the last few days there have
been unusually heavy rains extend
ing from Ilavre to Glasgow. The
water holes have been filled up and
the streams have risen, which has
improved the range and general sit
uation. While crops will not be
good this year along the Great Nor
thern. they will not be nearly so bad

WHERE CROPS
HAVE FAILED

In very many instances where the
crops have failed in Montana, the
farmers are allowing the land to re-
main un,listurbed. This means that
the land is losing any moisture that
it may have contained, and this will
thus far affect the crop adversely the
following season. while nothing is
gained from leaving them undisturb-
ed the present season. Tie only in
stances in which it would be COM
mendable tn leave such lands undis-
turbed are those in which they are
Judith Gap journal. [volume] (Judith Gap, Mont.) 1908-19??, 1910-07-29

producing enough to justify cutting
the crop for hay.
Where the seed has failed to ger
inmate the land should be treated as
summer fallow. Where the germin-
alton is partial and some crop is grow
ing on the land. it should also be fall
lowed. If left lying as it was when
the seeding had been completed, the
moisture which it contained will all
be lost, hence the hazard of failure
will be incurred next season should
it he a dry one. This hazard may be
avoided by summer following the
land.
Where the seed has failed to germ
mate, not a day should be lost in
stirring the surface of the ground
thoroughly with the harrow, subse-
quently All occasional narrowing
should be given until fall crop as
winter wheat or rye are sown. When
these are not sown, the occasional
narrowing, say every three or four
weeks, should he given until winter
is near.
Where the termination has been
partial. and the grain that has ger
minated is making feeble growth,
the disk should be at once used on
the land to destroy all growth upon
it. The harrow should ut once follow
the disk. The treatment subsequent
ly should he as outlined above.
If winter wheat is sown it should
not be sown later than September LIST
and if possible from say August 10th
to Goth. The same is true of winter
rye. Not more than three pecks of
the latter. In sowing these the grain
drill should be used in all instances,
and the seed should be buried deeply.
If the moisture present in the soil is
not enough to insure termination,
the fall crop should not he sown. The
land should be left for spring crop.
In many instances, land was brOk-
Ell in the spring and left rs the plow
turned it. In other instances 1T was
disked once and narrowed once and
then left. Such treatment of Mon
tana bench lands is all wrong. Treat
ed thus they will lose their moisture.
They will not have enough to germ
mate winter grain, and spring grain
when sown on them will grow much
less vigorously than if they had been
properly cared for. These lands
should be ut once pulverized on the
surface. This will not bring back the
moisture that has been lost. but it
will prevent futher loss and it will
put the ground in a much better po-
siti0n to utilize properly any percipi-
tation that may fall subsequently.
When the ground has been proper
ly handled the year preceding the
growing of grain crop. the crop
grown on that land will not be fail
ure, even though the season should
be dry. That has been clearly DEM
onstrated in the experience Of the
season that is now passing.
