BAD FLOWING IN
WHEAT STATES

Much of the plowing that is
done in the western Dakotas and
Montana is nothing short of a
menace to the immediate future
of crop production, because of it's
wretched character. Some of the
poor blowing is done by the farm
ers themselves, but more, much
more of it is done by those who
use power plows and do the work
at so much an acre. Much of the
work that those men do is simply
wretched in character. No mild
er term will fifty apply to it.
The land plowed is turned over
in part by the mould-board plows
and in part by disc plows. The
character of much of the blowing
done by horsepower plows will be
made apparent in the following
demonstration. conducted at Moe
casin in the Judith Basin on the
experimental farm at that place
July 25th. The occasion was the
holding of a monster picnic of
two to three thousand people at
the farm. Two power plows were
at work. One was a mould board
and the other a disc plow. What
was the character of the work
done? The mouldboard plow
turned the sod over at depths
varying from two to six inches.
In some places there were two
skips. Some Of the burrows were
thrown over quite on the top of
the burrows adjacent to them,
thus making a crown of earth
and a depression alongside Of it,
such as would call for great labor
to put it in an even condition, and
when so evened. many sods would
lie on the surface in a way that
would interfere with the harrow
ing of the grain crop that follows.
The disk plow had torn the sod
into furrow slices of varying
depths and lengths. Some of
these lay with the grass side down
and some with the grass side up.
Some Of them lay on the edge and
they lay lengthwise and croos-
wise and at all angles. 1t could
not be travelled over by man or
beast without labored effort. And
that was demonstration. If
these are the kind of demonstra-
tions that those with power plows
give, what must be the character
of the plowing that is not dem
onstration? l do not say that all
the plowing thus done by power
plows is of that character, but J

much Of it is. l have heard it
spoken of as rascally.
The ground that was turned
over with the disk plow at Moe
casin would be exceedingly diff
cult to pulverize. l fail to see
how it could be done, except by
using on it a very heavy cut-away
disk, and keeping at it until it was
cut in pieces. When thus fined
it would be covered with bits of
sod that will not rot. It is simply
too bad that land should be treat
ed thus.
The farmers themselves are in
part to blame for such plowing.
They should not tolerate it. If
an agreement has been properly
made, both parties should live up
to it. Ifa written agreement has
not been made, such an occasion
is a mistake. When a man agrees
to plow land five or six inches, he
should either do it or go without
a part of his pay. If such plow-
ing were not tolerated it would
not be done. But many farmers
are too easily satisfied. They too
readily listen to the delusion that
three or four inches is deep
enough to plow.
If the makers of power plows
are wise, they will look carefully
into this question. They do not
know probably that a prejudice
is rising up in the minds of many
against such plowing and against
implements that do it. Should
they not be more careful in max
ing sales? They have an import
ant mission if they will only right
fully fulfill it. The help they can
give in turning over the stiff sod
lands of the prairie is of very
great value, but it should be
rightfully rendered. If it is not,
the day will come when these
power machines may be relegated
to the junk heap.
Is it not a fact that farmers of
the west are going a little too fast
in the breaking up of their land?
Would it not be better in every
way to break less land and to
break it as it ought to be broken?
Even in the present season which
was very favorable to growth the
crop on we'll prepared land was
vastly better than on that poorly
prepared. In a poor producing
year the difference would be vast
ly greater in favor of the we'll
land. -- :..-
Is it not a good plan for the
homesteader to break up much of
his land with good brood mares?

SETTLERS ARE AGAIN WARNED

Under date of July IL, 1912,
the Assistant Commissioner of
the General Land office, sent out
the following letter:
Register and Receiver,
Kalispell and Missoula, Mont.
Sirs:
1t is reported to this office
informally that there are num-
ber of squatters on lands classi-
fled as timber lands in the Flat
head Indian reservation, who are
relying upon the fact that they
have suspended applications for
their authority for remaining on
the lands. The parties who filed
for such lands or settled thereon
gained no rights thereby. The
law specifically provides a meth
cd by which the timber and land
classified as timber lands shall
be disposed of. Under the Act
of March 3, 1909 (35 Stat, 1867
the timber on such lands is to be
sold by the Secretary of the In
terror and thereafter the land is
to be disposed of under regula-
tions to be provided by the Sec
retary of the Interior.
You will post a copy of the
foregoing in your office and give
the same to the newspapers as
an item of news and not as an
advertisement.
You will at once prepare from
your docket a complete list of all
suspended and rejected applica-
tions for Flathead lands which
have not been finally closed out,
said rejection or suspension to
have been made either by your
office or by this office. In MAX
ing said report it will be neces-
sary to give the serial numbers
only. In case of any application
which has been rejected by this
office and the time for report has
arrived you will make prompt re-
port in the premises.
You will give this matter i'm
mediate consideration.
Very respectfully,
S. V. PROUDFIT,
Assistant Commissioner,
1t would appear that no matter
if congress has passed an act to
allow the re-classification of the
lands on any Indian reservation
heretofore opened to settlement.
where an error has been made in
such classification, that settlers
on the land classified as timber
lands on this reservation are not
to be given the land. There
seems to be a determination to
allow this land to be acquired by
a big company or coterie of fav-
ored friends. That is just what
has been said all along would
happen and was the big colored
person in the reservation wood
pile. That land is the most val
liable of any on this reservation,
for agricultural purposes aside
from the timber, and somebody
has known all along who was to
finally get it. That is the real
reason why it has never been
possible for the people here to
get an investigation or to secure
any assistance from source
where they should have received
it.
