the easiest and quickest way Of get
ting 1t. The usually high prices paid
for flax during recent years greatly
encouraged the practice. 1t has merit
so far as the flax crop is concerned.
In Il normal season Il good crop OF
flax may be expected from shallow
breaking if sown on time.
To his plan, however, there are the
following objections: % The flax
crop so absOrbs the moisture that
falls that little or none of it gets down
into the soil as Il reserve. (2) If the
next crop is sOwn on the flax land
prepared by discing. should dry
season follow, it will be more or less
of pronounced failure. (3) Should
it be desired to plow for the next crop
in the autum after the flax, and the
autumn proves dry, which oftentimes
it does, ii is scarcely possible to go
down deeper than the first plowing.
(4) If the farmer waits until spring
for moisture to enable him to plow
that land deeply. he cannot sow his
crop sufficiently early, nor does his
land thus plowed retain moisture as
well as If plOwed in the autumn.
Where it can be done therefore in
areas where the normal rainfall is
not more than Is inches in a year the
aim should be to plow at the first not
less than five or six inches, and to
fallOw the land with the view to get
ting II greater amount Of moisture
down into the soil and subsoil the
first season than would be possible
when crop is taken the first year.
The man who breaks as deeply rs
stated above and fallows the first OF
the season, will certainly be ahead OF
the other ut the end Of four years,
who takes crop of grain the year III
whicl, the breaking is done. The on.
| ly real objection to the deep breaking
is the labor involved in doing th'
| work.

County Surveyor John l.. Church
was Il city visitor the first OF the week
from White Sulphur Springs. He
was viewing the roads along the

ter into conjunction with the Fergus

Mr.. Church was II Helena visitor
two weeks ago in behalf Of organ izing
a state highway commission. He is
very confident that the next legisla-
ture will organize such II commission
and place the road building through
out the state under y system and
place the county surveyor Of each
county in charge Of the building and
maintenance of roads III his respec-

AS soon as the roads are placed un-
der the supervision OF one man and

and estimate the work, which would
be let to the lowest and best bidder
the state of Montana would have
good roads.

BREAKING AS
FALLOW IS BEST
By PROF. SHAW.

In the early days of settlement in
Dakota and in much Of the Canadian
west, the plan was common to break
in the early summer quite shallow
and then to backset the same fall.
TO backset meant simply to plow
deeper SO as to throw the partially de-
cayed sod under and to put cover
earth brought up from below on top
of it. The plan was good where it
was practiced. The shallow breaking
killed practically all of the grass in
dry, hot weather that followed, and
in these areas there was enough of
moisture usually in the autumn to
make the deeper plowing practicable.
Moreover, only spring sOwn grain
was grown in these areas, and this
gave the whole autumn to do the
backsetting.
This plan is not usually recon-
mel,dpd or followed in the dry areas
of the American Northwest, for the
reason first, that winter wheat is very
commonly made the first crop, and
where it is there would be no chance
| for backsetting, nor would it be wise
| to SOW winter wheat on breaking so
shallow. 1t is recommended there
4 fore to break more deeply, as deeply
AS five or six inches, and to work the
ground subsequently OH the summer
| fall 1n, ,,,t
! sowing winter wheat, which is usual
ly in August. Where winter wheat
is not to follow, it would answer to
break shallow and then to backset in
the autum, but to the plan there is
the objection, that in much OF the
northwest the weather is so dry in
the autumn that the backsetting
would be difficult Of accomplishment.
The aim is to break in the spring and
until well OH III June, and to break to
the depth named. The earlier that
the breaking is done in the season
the more is the amount Of moisture
that may be gotten down in the soil
The plan is to compress with disc OF
packer as soon rs plOwed, to make .
soil mulch at once, with the harrow
and to maintain the same until thu
sowing of the wheat or to the end O.
the season. if winter wheat or rye ar
not to be sOwn. The next crop tina
may legitimately be sOwn is flax. AM
it may be grown by simply preparing
the land by discing. The buried so
is thus left buried two years before
is brought up again, which is favor
able to decay.
However, the plan OF breaking ratl
er shallow in the spring and sowin
flax on the land rs soon rs broken

On Tuesday, July 1, the G. o. d.
parcels post system was put into ef-
feet In the local office. Postmaster
Beers will start off with the new sys-
tenn and betw cen the two business

card sent to the receiving postoffice
for the signature OF the addressee.
All are numbered to correspond at
the sending Office.
The sender will be required to fill
out all the items on the card that he

responsibility for mistakes upon the
sender. The postage must be fully
prepaid, and the sender can collect
the prepaid charges, the pri e e

ing the package will then make out a
money order for the amount collected
and return it to the sender. The

Carol Heron received the first
prize of S5 for the largest number of
tails; James Lutz. 81 as second prize;
Charles Ridgway and Art Capps tied
for third prize and each was awarded
IA 81 prize; Paul Cans took fourth
prize, which was 81.
The majority of those bringing in
tails estimated that at least 50 per
cent of the gOphers they killed sue
ceded in getting into the holes. Ac-
cording to these figures the Gopher
Day celebration was the cause of kill
ing at least 10000 g0phers. In other
words it was the fundamental reason
for the saving OF almost 10000 BUSH
els OF grain in this section. Experts
claim that gopher will spoil grain
before maturity and eat whole gram
to the extent Of one bushel per gopher
each year.

SAYS BOND DEPRECIATION
NOT DUE TO PENDING BILL
Representative Glass Makes Vigor.
GUS Defense of Democratic
Currency Measure.

Suggestion that the depreciation OF
United States 2 per cent bonds to a
half point below par had been caused
by the tendency of the administra-
TONS currency bill brought forth a
vigorous statement by Chairman Glass
Of the House committee on banking
and currency last night
II only wish l could think" said Mr..
Glass, that this is not a part Of an or
ganized assault on the proposed bank
ing and currency bill. Aside from this,
/ may say that the statements are ut
terly inaccurate, and some of the sug-
gestions made are prepoSLerous. As a
matter OF fact the sale OF government
= per cent bonds Tuesday at ssh Was
not the tirst sale OF these bonds below
par. l have direct lnforma ton that
government 2 per cent bonds sold as
low as SO and q fraction in New York
last spring before one sentence Of the
tentative draft Of the currency bill
had been written. 1t is simply aStoupd-
for any national banker to assert that
the national banks OF the country a; e
alarmed at the bond provision OF the
proposed new currency bill.
such fictitious objections and in
spired criticisms are getting a little
tiresome to those Of us who have stood
for just dealing all around These
methods are noS going to frighten
anybody at this end OF the line. Be-
fore we get through they may hurt
somebody at the other end Of the line"
