HOMESTEADERS
GET EXTENSION

The LeWistOWn land office has re-
ceived official circulars authorizing
the extension OF time for establishing
residence and covering the question
Of leave of absence by entrymen on
homesteads in the states Of North
Dakota and South Dakota, Montana,
Nebraska, Idaho, Colorado, Utah,
Wyoming, Minnesota. Washington,
Oregon, New Mexico and Arizona.
The circular explains the extension
and it reads as follows:
''The first section of act public act
537 applies to all homestead entries
in the states named made after June
1, 1910, and III such cases the entry
men are given until May Is, 1911, to
establish residence upon their claims.
1t also applies to soldiers declatory
statements filed in the states named
after June |, 1910, and such declar-
ants are given until May Is. 1911. to
make their homestead entries and es-
tablish their residence on the land.
Ii any payment is required to be
made in connection with the entry
under the declaratory statement, as
in the case Of ceded Indian reserva-
tions, the act also operates to extend
the payment until the entry is made.
1.-The first prOvisO to section of
the act provides that the period OF
communication or of actual residence
shall not be shortened. Entrymen
who have taken advantage of this ex-
tension can not submit communication
proof until they have maintained
substantially continuous residence
for IA months from the date same
was established; and in 5-year proof
can not claim credit for constructive
residence for more than six months
prior to the date actual residence was
established.
''Under the second prOviso of sec
tion the act will not be held to de-
feat the adverse claim of one who
has prior to the approval Of this act
made entry over Il soldiers declara-
tory statement where the six months
allowed the soldier for making entry
and establishing residence has ex-
pired prior to February Is. 1911.
For will it be held to defeat con-
test against IL homestead entry filed

THREE CROPS IN FOUR
YEARS IN MONTANA

Prof. Thomas Shaw: Two methods
may be followed in growing crops in
Montana with almost unfailing sue
cess. by one Of these land is proper
ly summer fallowetl, and by the her
Il crop is grown upon 1t that calls for
cultivation while it is being grown.
The success that follows from the
growing of grain crops on soils thus
prepared, comes chiefly from the eN-
tent to which the cultivation given
has resulted in the conservation of
moisture. Experience and Observa-
ton have both shown that when
grain crop follows either of these
methods, it will be more or less sue
cessful, even in the driest season. 1t
the first method only is adopted when
growing crops in the dry area. but
one crop will be obtained in two
years, but by properly combining the
two methods three crops may be OBJ
NNluNN III ioVl NSO'S.
4 practical way OF accomplishing
this will be apparent from the fol-
lowing: Suppose Il farmer has II quar-
ter section Of land and he wants to
farm it thus. lie can set aside say
10 acres on which to grow alfalfa and
pasture. This will leave l2O acres on
which to grow other crops. This divid-
ed into four equal parts gives 30 acres
for each. On No. | b. has summer
fallow; on No. ,. fodder corn; on NO.
3 and No. winter grain. These will
occupy the land that season. The
next year winter wheat will follow on
the first spring grain on the second,
summer ALLOW Oh the third and fOd-
der corn on the fourth. The third
year corn will follow on the first,
summer fallow on the second, winter
wheat on the third and spring grain
on the fourth. The fourth year
spring grain will occupy the first,
winter wheat the second, corn the
third and summer failow the fourth.
1t will be found that by following the
rotation outlined, that three crops
will be grown on the land in four
years. One of these in each instance
will be corn and the other two will be
grain. Similarly by dividing the
Judith Gap journal. [volume] (Judith Gap, Mont.) 1908-19??, 1911-03-10

land alright, areas of any size may be
thus cropped.
by this system One-half of the land,
aside from he pasture land, would be
in grain. one-fOurth in fodder corn
and one fourth in sum:npr fallOw.
This would mean that tllree-fourths
Of this area thus cultivated would be
producing eaci, year and only One-
fourth idle: whereas, if no cultivated
crop was grown, One-ha'f the land
would be idle each wear.
The only valid objection to such
system would be the amount of work
that growing corn would call for.
1t would mean. Of course, that the
farmer could not crop 50 much land
as by the other system. but it would
also mean that much more crop
would be obtained from given area,
thus adding greatly to the aggregate
of production. Ii the farmer did not
want TO harvest his corn. ne could
Craze il down with live stock. or h"
could harvest y part OF it and graZe
The rest.
Such #vstem would he very help
inl in cleaning the land. Every other
year the land would be cleaned, one
year with summer fallow and the 9TH
pr with a cult waited crop. .u n a
system Of farming should keep the
land absolutely clean, if faithfully
done.
But even this method of rotating
crops cannot be continued indefinite
ly on the same land. 1t is the best
succession, however, to begin with,
or 1T least it is one of the best. At
ter Il time it would be necessary to
introduce Il crop that would put hum
,,s into the land, and that would add
t., it's fertility. For such Il use it will
prOb"bIy he tOund that alfalfa will
answer the purpose best.

STOCKMAN SAYS CATTLE
ARE SCARCE In WEST

Anaconda Standard: Robert IL.
Jones, vice e-president for Montana OF
the Northwest Live stock association
in which he represents the beef cattle
interests, declared recently in an i'll
terview while in Spokane that he has
not seen a time in the last 20 years
when western cattle were as scarce as
they are today.
lit is about time that the stock
growers and farmers IN the north
western and Pacific states started in
to raise more CATTLE" lie added. "We
are getting better prices for our stock
ut home than at the Chicago stock
yards. This proves that the western
country is shorter on beef cattle than
any other district. Our growers
should take advantage of this pecu-
liar state of affairs.
IL can see no good reason why the
farmers in Washington, Oregon, Ida
hO and Montana should pass up the
cattle business. OF course, it requires
money to go into the industry on a
large scale, but every farmer in th,
western country should raise Il few
head, at least. That would relieve the
shortage and bring more money into
the country. Now is the time to raise
cattle"
Mr.. Jones. who is Il member of the
firm of Jones u Bales, operating III
the Big Hole basin, announced that
his company will exhibit 100 head of
I l,ay-fetl steers from the basin colll-
try at the Northwest Fat Live stock
show in Portland. Ore, March ~ to
%, also showing the cattle in the
East Spokane yards week earlier.
''Our cattle have never fed on an,
thing.but wild hay, which is grown
on our Is, 4OD-acre ranch under irriga-
tiOn,' he added. "It is all wild hay.
We believe we can raise IA steer on
wild hay for One-thir.l OF the cost of
producing n corn fed steer in low.
