of Montana have been a great agent
in transformingt the state into farm
ing country. Those expositions on
wheels have travelled through the
east and middle west showing to
thousands of people with the result
that thousands of weary eastern toll
ers have been beckoned to the Gland
of promise" What is best of all
Montana has proved to be all that
this novel means of advertising has
argued for it.
Since 1910 the number of horses in
Montana has increased 31,O44 head.
Uncle Sans figures show the value
of Montana's horses has increased 81
per head since 191O-indicating that
the range horse has given way to the
farm work horse, which brings more
money in the market. With the set
tlement of Montana land by the tiller
or the soil the farm horse has come
to be in big demand. So the Monan-
al is raising farm horses instead of
the range pony which he used to send
into the eastern markets. 1t is more
profitable. In the last two years the
total value of Montana's horses has
increased from $25 ,276. .4SO to $50, $780,
600.
And just as the farm work horse
is replacing the range cayuse so is
the milch COW taking the place of the
range cattle. The total value of the
states milch cows has increased
nearly 81 100000 in two years. There
now are 13,473 more milch COWS in
Montana than there were in 1910,
while 1he number of range cattle has
decreased from s65 1000 in 1910 to
1872, 900 in 1911. Swine has Increased
80, ,739 head in that time, too.
Thus, in big round figures, dollars
and cents, the amazing story of Mon
tana's agricultural development is
forcibly told.
But, let not the easterner get the
impression that Montana is fast be-
coming crowded with people. milch
cows, swine and horses. Far from
it. Italy is about one-fourth smaller
than Montana in area. Yet Italy
has something over 80 ,000, 200 mouths
to feed while there is hardly half a
million people within the borders OF
Montana

TOBACCO CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY
RAISED IN MONTANA

Billings, Mont, March 26. Ten
carloads of fat sheep were shipped
out of Billings today to the markets
in Chicago. The animals were fat
tened on alfalfa and sugar beet pulp
and were in tiptop condition. In
cluded i'm the train which took them
east was a carload of fat hogs from
Huntley-the first sent out by farm
ers of the project-and as in case of
the sheep the porkers grew fat OH a
ration of beet pulp and the great
western forage plant. Virtually all
of the farmers on the project are
growing hogs and the industry prom
ises to become one of great impor-
tance within the next few years.
The growing of tobacco is not only
possible but samples of the "Weed"
brought to the Chamber of Commerce
are evidence, not only that it can be
grown, but that it will mature and
further that it is the equal IN color
and quality of the product of states
where it's cultivation is one of the
chief industries. The samples were
brought in by Japanese who
raised number of plants in the
Clark Fork valley. M. E. Weller,
who resides a short distance south of
here, also experimental with tobacco
last summer with the result that he
grew a number of plants without
height of more than five feet and the
leaves were broad and of excellent
texture, color and flavor. He says
the seasons in Montana are abund-
antly long for the cultivation of this
southern product and that the soil
seems particularly adapted to it.
That there will be 10 surplus of al
falfa in Montana this spring, but
that every ton not needed by the
growers will be disposed of at salts
factory figures, is shown by the fact
that during the last two weeks the
long ricks of hay in the fields of the
Midland Empire have been going like
the ploverbial shot cakes" and the
fruits .of the toll of the husbandman
have been converted into substantial
bank accounts. The condition is
brought about by the heavy calls
from the stockmen and prices have
continued to sail skyward till $12 so

BY Or. w. E. Taylor, Director o
Soil Culture Dept, Deere & Co.

Soil Culture Dept, Deere " 20.
Mr.. Farmer, you know that your
crop is going to correspond very
closely to the character of the bed or
home in which you plant the seed.
You kow that poorly made seed-bed
will result in deficient crop, and
YOU also know that if the seed-bed
meets all the requirements of the
plant you have a reasonable assurance
Of a good crop.
Let us have heart to heart talk
about these requirements, and see "
it will not pay to give them a little
more attention.
First, we say the seed-bed should
be deep. But why? You know that
the roots of the plant are very
numerous and grow to great length.
They are their best when an album
dance of room is provided. If the
seed-bed is shallow they, seeking the
course of least resistance, which is
not downward, except until they reach
the hard bottom of the furrow, but
outward, and necessarily near the
surface. In case of even slight
drouth they suffer for moisture and
plant food, for it must aforementioned
that where moisture does not exist
plant food is not available. If the
seed-bed is deep, the roots take their
natural course, which is downward, {,
and when they have reached the
bottom of an eight or nine inch bed
they have strength and stability to
penetrate the more compact subsoil,
where. as n rule, an abundance Of
moisture exists. Again, if the seed
bed is shallow, the roots are apt to
bunch, a condition that results in a
stunted plant. Hence, to insure an
abundance of room and deep penetra
ton of the roots, the seed-bed should
be made deep.
Again, the plant needs water. A
deep well-made seed-bed is like q
thick sponge in the matter of absorb
ing water. In the event of very
heavy rainfall, such q seed-bed re-
ceives and holds several inches Of
water until it percolates into the
deeper soil. If, however, the seed
bed is shallow and hard pan exists,
and where shallow blowing is prac-
ticed, the bottom of the furrow is
usually very compact and often i'm
pervious to water, only q small
amount is absorbed, the most of it
running away carrying with it soil
and fertility.
Plants require food. Available
plant food exists in the seed-bed, or
in that part of the soil rich in humus;
hence, it stands to reason that if the
seed-bed is deep, greater amount of
plant food is available.
Plant roots require atmospheric
oxygen and without it they will perish,
hence, if the seed-bed is surcharged
with water it must be drained out if
oxygen enters. Even though water
does not fill tho air-spaces III the seed
bed, the bed should be deep and we'll
titled, for that process is a means of
giving the roots an abundance Of
fresh air.

GOOD SEED BED REQUIREMENT 7
FOR GOOD CROP

The benefits of tillage are very i'm.
portant in the matter of forming
plant food compounds or making
chemical combinations. Plant food
elements are useful only when COM
b1ned into compounds, which is ac-
complshed by tillage or thoroughly
mixing the soil; hence the advantage
of using the disc harrow and other
pulverizers and mixers.
Water is stored in the subsoil to be
used during the growing season. but
if natures requirements are not pro-
vidsd, the stored water will fail to
rise; hence, in making the seed bed
the surface ground hould e
thoroughly disced before it is plowed
in order that all Jumps are pulverized
and all trash worked into the ground.
This operation insures a compact
contact between the bottom of the
furrow and the furrow slice. If the
operation is neglected, air spaces
necessarily exist at the break where
the turned soil meets the more COM
pact layer, and capillary water will
rise no higher than that point. Many
trials have proven conclusively that
discing before plowing increases the
crop from 25 to so per cent. the great
est increase being made where pro-
tracted drouthy occurred during the
growing season.
Compactness, but not hardness. is
also important; hence, the seed bed
should be thoroughly pulverized and
subsequently made compact for the
following reason:
Plant food exists in film of mois-
ture surrounding each particle of
soil. Delicate food gathering roots
throw minute tenticles around the
soil particles, and absorb moisture
and food by a process called osmosis.
If hard Jumps exist, the delicate roots
are unable to penetrate them, hence
the feeding area is greatly reduced.
Again. if Jumps exist large air spaces
exist, thereby hindering capillary
attraction, or natures process Of fur
nishing water. The seed-bed should
also be compact in order to hasten
the termination of the seed. If the
soil is very loose, it is always bene-
fetal to roll the ground either with Il
corrugated or smooth roller, after
the seed is planted.
recognize the fact that the seed
ing period is short and that all extra
labor put OH an acre lessons the num-
Der of acres that the farmer is able to
plant, but two or three years trial
will convince the most skeptlcal that
it is far more profitable to plant ten
acres where the seed-bed is made
right than to plant double that num-
Der of acres when the seed-bed is
not so made that it furnishes the re-
quirements of the plant.
