ON EXPERIENCE

That what farmers gain by ex-
perience they hold fast is not to
be gainsaid. Fools learn in no
other school. Wise men profit by
the experience of others. At the
Agricultural College in Bozeman
the week January 22.31 is to be
devoted to short courses for farm
ers and homemakers, with Coun-
try Life Convention and daily
programs given by noted speakers.
This will not deprive anyone OF

will be added the experience OF
many others, and a glimpse. of the
scientific reasons for things. Write

GOOD DRY FARMING

Chief Assets in the Raising Of the Prize Five
Bushe|s---Talk by Nash the Winner.

Minneapolis, Dec. %. Good dry
farming methods produced the
wheat which won for Nash &
Bird geman Of Clyde Park, Mont,
the SIS, 900 prize for the best five
bushels of wheat exhibited at the
Minneapolis land show, according
to Joseph Nash, who gave a de-
scription Of the methods used in
raising the wheat today.
Nash is here with his wife and
six children to claim the $4,000
prize and take it back to Montana
with him. He called at the Office
Of the exposition and was given a
certified copy of all scores and an
order for the gas tractor, plows,
etc. Then he called on President
Howard Elliot Of the Northern
Pacific railway and received fur.
ther congratulations, He told
Mr.. Elliot how the wheat was
raised and demonstrated that good
dry farming methods-or just com
mon sense will produce not only
good wheat, but the maximum
yield per acre.
THE five bushels which won the
prize was grown at an altitude of
4,9OO feet, where the rainfall does
