LIT, in summer titled land, fall wheat
commonly makes a crop Of Is to As
bushels per acre. The Turkey Red
type and a variety called the Khar-
koy r most generally grown. For
spring wheats the Durum and Maca-
roni are surest, and the Kubanka
variety is in demand. The Marquis is
becoming popular. The bald or
White Russian barley and the Sixty
day or Kherson oats are preferred
because Of early maturity. Later
sorts frequently fail owing to condi-
lions at the time they should fill out,
These and other crops sown early
have an advantage over late sowings
Alfalfa, particularly when sown
ti,inly in rows, on we'll prepared
ground and cultivated, produces good
crops Of forage. Dry land alfalfa
seed is an important crop. One OF
two pounds Of seed per acre in rows
is recommended.
/ Corn uses less moisture than most
crops and is especially good for arie
conditions. According to altitude
from 1000 feet down, the following
varieties are recommended, the frs

For many centuries arid farming
has been practiced in many countries
with varying degrees Of success. In
Americas, with the westward march Of
empire, the semi-arid plateaus and
foothills east Of the Rocky mountains
and the international valleys between
the Rocky and Cascade ranges have
been the scenes Of pioneer dry forming
TOR a generation or more. Montana
has come later in it's settlement and
agricultural development than other
sections, but it possesses advantages
in many respects e regions to the
seuth and east. It's salubrious eli
nsste, mild winters, late rainy seasons
long days Of summer sunshine, brac-
ing atmosphere, and beautiful harvest
season are very favorable to agricul-
turel progress. The freedom from
hot, drying winds in summer is q
distinct advantage.
With a rainfall averaging between
thirteen and twenty inches, accord.
ing to locality, Montana depends up.
On securing the maximum benefit
from the rain that falls. That more
than half the rain comes in May and
June, during the crop growing sea-
son, is a fact Of immense advantage
to the farmers Of the state. While
in some seasons and in some sec
tions the rainfall is enough for Ger.
tain crops, insurance in the form o.
moisture conservation is a profitable
investment.
Conservation Of moisture consist.
in so managing the land as to pre-
vent run-of and secure the maxi
nun diffusion downwards, and ther
in minimizing the losses by evapor
alton. By breaking the surface ant
creating a loose sponge in advance o;

sible in some cases to add the rain

SPRING SEEDING
BY International Laboratories, Seattle

ny Irrational A8OOt 8tOlleS, Oeattles
u. 8. A.
What percentage Of seed wheat is
fertile? That is just what the farm
er should know before he starts seed
ing.
The three prime factors in wheat
production are weather, soil and seed.
The farmer is compelled to take 4
chance, always, with the weather, but
soil and seed can be analysed down
to thorough mathematical determin-
atoms. For example, a grain Of wheat
is, or is not fertile. # not fertile, it
will not grow. A bushel Of seed
wheat can be 100 per cent fertile, but
a great percentage Of seed grain is
not 100 per cent fertile-some may be
only 80 per cent fertile, or less.
Now for example: Surprising a
farmer should sow seed only 80 per
cent fertile from which he harvest
ed a crop Of Is bushels per acre,
would he not have harvested a crop
Of 48 bushels per acre had his seed
been 100 per cent fertile? Or had he
of known that his seed was only 80
per cent fertile he could Of sown
enough more seed to bring his yield
much higher than Is bushels per acre.
Every extra bushel of wheat you can
produce is just that much gain.
The money that has been lost by
sowing dead seed wheat will never be
known, but will figure into the mil
lions. Wheat will probably be higher
this coming harvest than has ever
been experienced before. Today
SLABS is the quotation on the Chica-
go market Off July wheat. At this
price, or half a price every extra bush
els per acre counts up mighty fast.
But to raise these extra bushels it is
absolutely necessary to sow fertile
seed.
The farmer should not guess or take
a chance when sowing his spring seed
wheat, as crops will be curtailed in
proportion to worthless seed sown.
Montana soil is generally so product
i've that a poor crop will be a re-
Election against the farmers ability
to properly prepare and. seed his land
Wheat growers are in the business
for the money they hope to make
The average farmer has a thorough
understanding, no doubt, of his land
and climatical conditions. He works
hard to prepare his soil for the crop
His future hopes are at the mercy Of
the coming harvest. Then with all O.
this and more at stake, it does seen
.@strange that so much seed of which no
a thing is known is sown.
If there is any better wheat grow
than is raised in Montana, no maj
: knows where it is; and the best o
these are the spring wheats. We ar
continuously testing wheats and f1our'
from all parts of the world so know
whereof we speak.
To thoroughly understand the full
value if soil and seed, it is necessar.
to rely upon chemistry. Those farm
ers who are chemists seldom hav
proper equipment or time to make de
Examinations. To be worth a rap
among the many determinations ben
efcial to the farmer there isn't an,
that assures him so much success a

sALGADo ENTERS PLEA
OF GUILTY AT ELKO

On the advice of his attorney, Fl. p.
Hale, Jose Salgado, the murderer of
Bessie Andy, the Indian girl, this af-
ternoon at three o clock entered a plea
of guilty to murder in the second de-
gree, and tomorrow at ten O'Clock he
will be sentenced by Judge Taber.
According to law the sentence will
be indeterminate, not less than ten
years to life.
Salgado expressed a willingness TO
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree early this afternoon, but when
taken before the court he claimed for
some time that he did not understand
English sufficiently to know what was
asked, SO an interpreter was secured.
When it was made plain to him that
by entering a plea of guilty he could
not be put to death, and that in ease
of a trial and conviction again of muir
der in the first degree, he could not
escape with a lighter penalty, he en-
tered his plea.
He will probably be taken to Carson
City to the state prison tomorrow af-
ternoon.-Independent.
