Methods Of Cultivation.
A large attend once a. the farmers
institute held in this city Wednesday
was discouraged by a snowstorm that
prevailed throughout: the day, but
severa, visitors from the country
braved the elements TO be present at
the meetings. The speakers were Prof.
o. G. Gregg. the father Of farm insti-
tutes in Mtnnesotn; Prof. T. A. Hover
stead, of North Dakota; and Prof. M.
l.. Wilson, of the Montana agricul.
tural college at Bozeman.
There was q good sized audience at
the evening session, at which Attor.
ney c. r. Stranahan introduced the
speakers. Tree planting on dry land
farms was discussed by Prof. Gregg,
who condemned the cottonwood as q
tree that needs too much water, and is
undesirable for other reasons. The
speaker recommended American elm,
and European birch as long lived
trees, and advised that Colorado
spruce and Norway pine be planted
for windbreaks.
Prof. Hoverstead compared the cli-
matte conditions of North Dakota
with those of northern Montana which
were declared to be similar, and ad'
vised farmers to discard the belief
that the climate will change. Official
records, according TO the professor,
demon STR ate there is no appreciable
difference in the average of q series
of years. In relating his experience
in North Dakota, the speaker said
there were about three crops OF settlers
before the country became populated
by perm anent residents, and indicated
his belief that similar conditions will
follow in northern Montana. Prof.
Hoverstead, however, declared his
belief that what was formerly called
the "Great American DESERT will be
Known among future generations as
the "Great American Garden" Sub
soil packing t o conduct water from
below, and loose soil on the top to
prevent evaporation, were declared to
the great secrets of success in dry
farming.
Prof. Wilson, the last speaker on
the evening program, discussed the
} subject OF fax, and declared that the
m ain cause OF poor crops was poor
breaking. The sod should be broker
in the fall, turned completely over,
then packed by rolling and make {
mulch on top. The land should bt
seeded to fax early in the spring,
The best crop of fax that Mr.. Wilson
had seen ia Montana was the 28-bushe
yield of w alter Brown, at Box Elder
