MONTANA DRY FARM RESULTS
Conclusions as Arrived at After Six
Years Of Experimenting Are
Very interesting.

For the past six years the Montana
experiment station has been conduct.
ing experiments upon dry land. under
the direct charge OF Prof Alfred At.
kihson and MIR J. B Nelson, superln-
tendent Of dry farm work. The results
are TO be published I'm bulletin No. SO,
and may be had upon application to
the director of the experiment sta.
tion. The conclusions drawn from
this work are very interesting and
are as follows:
!. That the precipitation during the
six years i9O5.10. was very close to
the normal precipitation as shown by
all of the available records of the U.
s. weather bureau. This applies to
the total amount as well as TO the dis
tribution Of the rainfall over the grow
ing season.
2. That, Of all crops raised, pota-
toes, with an average yield of l05.32
bushels per acre, and returning an
average net profit OF $41.99, are the
most profitable OF the grain crops.
fall sown or winter wheat gives the
best returns. Kharkov, an improved
Turkey Red, gave an average yield
of 4O.41 bushels and an average net
profit of $2l.3O per acre. This was
grown at the Fergus county station
only The Turkey Red which was
grown all years and at all stations,
gave an average yield OF 32.45 bush
els, with an average net profit OF
ga
planted grains, corn, Hanna barley.
siNty.day oats and fax, In the order
named we're the most profitable:
while alfalfa and fodder corn were
the most satisfactory forage crops.
g. That It is decidedly more profit
able to raise grain crops under a sys-
TEN of alternate cropping and fal.
lowing, or summer tillage, than to
raise them continuously
I. That the first crop will be more
profitable II breaking is done the year
previous than II the crop is planted
the same spring, Immediately after
breaking.
3 That more profitable crops are
raised where the fallow is summer
titled than where It is allowed to lie
untouched through the summer.
G That It makes no practical diff
ference in the yield of grain whether
fall plowing or spring plowing is prac-
ticed in the preparation OF the pre-
ceding fallow.
7. That on the average five pecks
OF seed is the best amount TO use in
seeding dry land grain crops.
s. That there is positive loss from
lessened yield where fall sown crops
are faliowed in the spring.
o That grains planted In the ordi-
nary way, with seed drill. give
larger yields than grains planted in
rows "a inches apart and intertilled
during growth.

CIVIC coEscIoUsNEss.

A New York lecturer in a recent ad
dress undertook to demonstrate that
some OF the practices OF immigrants
in this country which are trouble
some to the authorities, have their OF.
igin in the best intentions and may
be easily corrected when the require.
ments OF the American environments
are made clear to the new arrivals.
To illustrate his point he told an In
teresting story. A certain immigrant
mother OF numerous offspring was
several times hailed to court and fined
for hurllng her ashes into the city
street on which she lived, says the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. With
philosophic submission to arbitrary
governmental tyranny she paid her
fines and went her way. Finally,
q charitable person, explained to her.
in her own tongue why she should not
throw her ashes into the street. II
then appeared that In the little Polish
village whence she came she and her
neighbors had been requested by a
local authority to throw their ashes
into the road by way OF impromptu
street building Then he related
contrasting anecdote as follows: Il
once heard one OF the founders OF the
City Club say that when he came OF
age he asked his excellent father to
give him some idea OF what might be
his duties as a full.hedged citizen OF
this great city. His father replied:
"My son. as a gentleman and the son
Of a gentleman. all you need know of
municipal procedure is that in order
to have your ashes properly cared for
you must bribs the ashman."
