The Summer FallOw

Whether the fallow system
will be an important part of the
dry land crop rotation after the
country is settled and developed,
when land is worth a hundred or
more dollars per acre, we are
not saying. Under present con-
ditions and land values it is bet
ter practice to take one crop Of
thirty or forty bushels, once in
two years, than two crops of
fifteen or twenty bushels each.
Experience at the Moccasin ex-
pertinent station indicates that
it is good farming to take about
three successive crops after
breaking. After that a summer
fallow doubles the crop. Far
better results are obtained after
the third year from breaking by
alternating crop and fallow.
The results at Moccasin coincide

included 2-cent passenger laws in

LIGHTNING STRIKES WARM
Err RESIDENCE IN ROMAN

During the magnificent rain
which prevailed here last Thurs
day evening, after the Pioneer
had gone to press, lightning
struck the j. 7. Warner residence
in Scarce addition and played
havoc with the interior.
Mrs. Warner was cooking over
a gas stove and was thrown to
the floor and stunned for a short
time, but escaped without injury.
The lightning entered one end
and passed entirely through the
building, coming out at the gable,
and also passed down the Chin
ney and stairway into the kitchen
where it wrecked the interior and
passed on down through the floor.
The lightning played several
freaks and the inmates, Mrs.
Warner and her father, Mr.. Bish-
op, were extremely fortunate to
escape with their lives.
Although the bolt run almost
over the entire house, shattering
boards here and there, breaking
glass, passing through clothing,
and otherwise doing damage, no
fire was started. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.

LOOKING FINE
SAYS SCEARCE

Stanley Scarce made an auto
trip last Sunday which covered
most of the Mission valley. In
company with Mrs. Scearce they
left Roman in the forenoon and
drove to the surveyors camp on
Mission creek and returned a
different route to the Bert Muir
ray ranch west of town, then to
the Big Butte and west almost
to the river, then to the Hyer
ranch and back around the south
end of the chain of hills to the
west of town. passing the J. B.
Bear place, the places of R. X.
Ireton, A. j. Swanson and others
in that vicinity. on to Valley
View and through the Keller
pass to Poison, where they had
dinner at 6 O'Clock. They return
ed home by way of the east road
and past Francis Dupuis' ranch.
This route took them past many
ranches and they found all kinds
of crops growing nicely. Rains
had lately soaked the ground in
every locality and the extent of
the harvest depends upon two
things the soil and the thor
oughness with which the crops
were put in and cultivated.
Mr.. Scearce says that where
the soil is good and the crop put
in the ground in good shape, all
kinds of grain is doing fine, but
where the soil is shallow and only
partially cultivated the crop is
only fair. Many places surpris-
ed him in the growth made dur
ing the past week, as the Sunday
before he went over some Of the
same ground and the change in a
week was marvellous.
Winter grain is heading and
prospects are splendid for good
yields in almost every instance,
the exceptions being where poor
farming has been done. With a
little more moisture at the time
the heads are filling, the crop will
average we'll with past years.

SELLING THE PRODUCT BY
4 PRACTICAL DA|RYMAN.

such requirements are complied
with.
There is a disposition on the
part of some to complain that
some of these requirements are
unnecessary, and that if he obey
all of them his profits would be
more than swallowed up in the
expense. But if he studies the
matter carefully he will gener-
ally discover that most Of them
are advisable from the stand
point of economy, entirely aside
from keeping the product sweet
and clean. A cement floor in a
stable ordinarily costs but little
more than a plank one, and if
properly constructed will last
many times as long. The amount
of fertility in the manure, saved
by the proper use of a cement
floor, will pay for the better one
in a few years. The isolated
milk house has proven itself such
a convenience to those who have
had them in use for several
months that the owners would
hardly wish to abandon them if
permitted to do so.
We are we'll pleased with cream
selling, and all things considered
believe it to be the best and most
satisfactory plan of those we
have tried. In this, as in many
other lines of farm activity, the
farmer must carefully consider
the conditions with which he is
surrounded before he positively
decides upon what particular
plan he will adopt. 1t probably
would not be wise for majority
of dairymen to sell cream ex-
clusively. If they did, the de-
mand for whole milk and butter
could not be supplied, and the
cream market would be glutted
to the damage of the price. &C.

M0|ESE VALLEY
NEEDS IRRIGATION

A representative of the Pic
neer made his first trip into the
Moiese valley Tuesday and saw
conditions which need attention
very badly. That is one of the
finest valleys in all the reserva-
tion country and has been treated
very badly when all things are
considered. The soil there is of
such a nature that irrigation is
absolutely necessary to carry on
farming successfully and it seems
to be about the last section of
the country to receive attention.
There are some fields of grain
in the Moiese which with a very
little more rain now will yield
considerable grain as conditions
are at present, but which with
irrigation would be banner yields
in any country. Other fields are
suffering badly and some will
not return the seed sown.
The most deplorable fact is
that the settlers have been led to
believe that they would get the
water soon, as all that portion of
the reservation was divided into
farm units, the greater part be-
ing only 30 acres in extent, and
they took homesteads there be-
lieving firmly that with water
for irrigation they could raise
enough produce to make a sue
cess of it. Their hopes have
been disappointed. The recla-
nation of the Flathead has been
too slow and they find them
selves today in a worse condition
financially than when they came.
Energetic and faithful, they have
expended not only their energy
but their faith.
The least that congress can do
for these people is to appropri-
ate money enough to complete
the system so they will have the
water next year. Further delay
will mean the ruin of many peo-
pie and no government should be
a party to such a deception.

Drowned in Lake

Word was received in Roman
Monday evening of the drown
ing of Gilbert and Ben Morals of
Poison in the Flathead lake near
Big Fork. 1t appears that Gill
bert Morals was negotiating for
the purchase Of a motor boat at
Big Fork and while out trying
the boat it capsized and both
were drowned. The third man
in the boat was rescued.
Both are we'll known to many
old timers in this section. Up to
last accounts neither of the bod
les were recovered.
