Fine Fall for
Winter Wheat
BY Prof. Thos. Shaw

first week in August. Where these
fell on summer fallowed land that
had been properly cared for during
the previous part of the season,
they will put enough of moisture in
the soil to germinate winter wheat
when it is sown. OF course this i'm
plies that the farmers took the pre-
caution to run the harrow over the
land at the close of the period when
the rain fell, to keep the rain from
escaping from the same.
This rainfall, somewhat uncom-
mon at this season. in Montana,
may be turned to most excellent ac-
count. 1t has come too late to ma
terially help the grain crops except
in the case of corn and flax. In a
way it gives promise of good win
ter wheat crop in 1912, providing
the opportunity is improved. To
improve it properly the moisture
should be kept in the soil and the
wheat sown in good season. In the
autumn of 1910 it was not easy to
sprout wheat in MANY instances in
Montana the ground was so dry,
but no difficulty of that kind should
be met with the present season.
AS is now generally known. the
Turkey Red winter wheat is the
variety to SOW. 1t will answer to
use seed of both 1910 and 1911.
Seed of 1910 will answer quite well
when seed of 1911 cannot be obtain
ed in time. Generally speaking the
seed should be sown during the last
the last half of August, but in some
of the warmer sections il may be
well to defer sowing to about Sep
tember 1st.
The seed should be sown with the
drill. Three pecks of seed should
be enough on summer fallowed land.
The seed should he put in somewhat
deeply, usually not less than three
inches. If the moisture is further
down, it should go more deeply.
The ground should not be rolled af-
ter sowing the wheat. Whether it
should be narrowed will depend on
such conditions as the crusting of
the land, just when the points of
the grain begin to show it will do
good to harrow the grain with
light harrow. The teeth should
have a backward slant Harrow
ing, subsequently, should not be
done in the autumn as a rule, save
when the ground crusts. A good
stand in the fall in the larger por-
tion of Montana promises well for
the crop of the next season.
1t is not good plan usually, to
SOW winter wheat on disked or au-
tumn plowed stubble land, but if
ample moisture is present it may be
sown thus. In very dry autumn
and especially if the land is dry
when the wheat is sown, such SOW
ing is hazardous. If the wheat does
not germinate well as soon as it is
sown, the results are not usually
satisfactory.
Crops have been grown by SIM
ply drilling in the grain amid the
stubbles, but they have not been
heavy yielding crops as a rule.
The wheat may also be sown in
standing corn and the corn cut at
the proper time. When sown thus
it is put in with a one-horse drill.
In such case. it is pre-supposed
that the corn is kept clean while in
process IF growth. This method of
sowing should give good crops of
wheat, and as large areas of corn
are now being grown in Montana in
some instances, this method of SOW
ing should engage the attention of
farmers. A disk drill is usually to

Assault on d III
Grain Fields

1t is harvest time in the Cut
Bank community. A grand and
concerted assault is now being made
on fields of grain turning golden in
the late August sunshine, by solid
phalanx of happy homesteaders.
Harvesting in adesultory way be-
gan ON Monday of this week. By
Wednesday cutting was pretty gen
eral and at the present time great
deal of grain is in shock. 1t will
take a few more days of warm
weather to mature late wheat and
flax but it is generally conceded
that all grains have passed the frost
danger line.
In week or ten days it is prob
able that some threshing will be
done--and then we shall have the
tell-tale of this years harvest which
seems so promising at present.
Weather conditions are almost
perfect-cool nights, bright sunny
days-everything that the harvest
er could desire for the successful
gathering of the sheaves.

It's common error
To plaster the aching back,
To plaster the aching back,
To rub with liniments rhematic Joints.
When the trouble comes from the
kidneys,
B. F. Dooley, 4O8, W. Congress St.
Charles Town, W. Va, says: II do
not think Doan's Kidney Pills can be
equaled in curing kidney complaint, My
back ached severely and although l
tried plasters and liniments, found no
perm anent relief. There was dull,
grinding pain across my loins and the
kidney secretions caused me great an
noyance by their frequency in passage,
Doan's Kidney Pills were SO highly
recommended that-I finally procured q
supply at Brown & Hooff's Drug Store.
They brought prompt relief and during
past year, have had no return at
tack of kidney troubles.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
THE STATE DEBT.


Considerable interest has bern mani
tested by Congressman from othel
States in the proposition of Congress
man Hamilton that the Federal Gov.
eminent should assume any part of the
Virginia debt which the Supreme Court
of the United States may find to be
owed by West Virginia Mr.. Hamilton
introduced his resolution on this subject
last week and it was referred to the
committee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. Hamilton's resolution expressing
it as the sense. of Congress that the
Government should assume end pay any
indebtedness for which West Virginia
may be held liable on account of the
separation of the States, recites in the
preamble the reasons for so declaring.
It asserts that the separation of the
States and the creation of the new
State was purely war measure and
was done without the actual consent Of
Virginia; that the taking of West Vir-
ginia from the old State was like the
taking of Texas from Mexico or the
Philippines from Spain, and that as in
each Of these cases the territory taken
was paid for as the territory taken from
Virginia as prize in war should be
paid for also, and that the United States
should not be less generous with Vir,
ginia than it has ever been with for
eign foe.
MIR. Hamilton has been informed by
many Congressman that they are inter-
ested in his resolution and that if the
facts are as he has stated them in his
resolution they will vote for it. There
is no question as to the accuracy OF the
fasts as stated by Mr.. Hamilton, as
any historical investigation will show,
so there is already promised consider
able support for the resolution calling
on the government to pay the West
part of the old States debt.
The House has passed and the SEN
ate is expected to pass without opposi-
ton the new apportionment bill, in
creasing the number of congressman
from 391 to 433. This would give an
additional number to West Virginia, |
making six Congressman from the
State instead of five as at present. In
as the Legislature, under the
call for special session, can not re-
distric the State, and as no regular ses-
sion Of the legislature will be held be-
tween now and the next election for
Congressman, the additional Congress-
man will have to be elected at large
for the first time any way.
The State as a whole must give q
Democratic plurality to elect Demo-
cratic Congressman at large. but this
is counted on by those who are watch
ing the State and the political develop
ment. The four Democratic Congress-
men from the State are expected to
be reelected without serious trouble
and if a fair vote can be had in the.
fifth district the suscessor to Congress-
man Hughes is expected to be Demo-
crat. Six Democratic Congressman
from the State may be West Virginia's
quota in the next House of R apresenta-
tives.
