Montana has been visited with a
fairly plentiful supply of rain in many
localities, such visitation is almost
unheard of i'm the state. In many
places the rain that fell in the first
week in August, exceeded two inches.
The damage to the crop that was be-
ing harvested caused some loss, but
the extent of the loss is not to be
compared with the benefit that will
result from the rain.
1t is now generally conceded, that
the winter wheat crop will continue
to be the great money crop of the
conditions ideal for sowing winter
wheat on summer, fallowed land, and
it brings one of the few seasons when
wheat may be sowed on stubble land.

CONSERVE THIS YEARS RAINFALL

/ thus fallen may be made to exercise,

made to give much aid to the crop of
1912. 1t puts the farmer in a position
to prepare at least a portion of his
land in a way that would not be
possible in a very dry Autumn, of
course farmers are very busy with
their harvesting at present, and be-
cause of this, they may not be able
to do much that they would like to
do as outlined above. Every effort
however should be put forth in the
direction indicated.
The rains have been &c nerous
throughout Dakota, both North and
South, at least in many places, hence
the farmers in both of these states
may save moisture in the ways jndi-
Gated as we'll as those in Monta ma.
These rains also favor greatly put
ting winter rye into the soil by drill
ing it into undisked grain stu bibles as
soon as this can be done. The ample
moisture will insure germin ton in
the rye, and this will go far to in
sure a fair return the next season, as
rye esown under such conditions would
not be liable to winter kill.-P rof.
