While Smyrna is considered to be
the best barley to grow on the dry
lands. This is an early variety OF
the hulled barley, maturing in about
the same length of time as the Sixty

regions where severe droughts are
likely to occur. If barley is de-

Flax has been grown in Montana
chiefly as sod crop. Because of it's
high bushel value it is an important
crop for the new settler who is
long distance from the railroad.
Flax diseases increase in the soil
when this crop is grown for several
years on the same land. and it
should be sown as early as the land
can be prepared. The best date for
sowing flax is between April Is and
May l.
The best rates of seeding for the
spring grain crops are as follows:
Wheat, 4 pecks to the acre: oats, 4
to 5 pecks hulled barley, 5 pecks
naked (hull-less) barley, pecks;
and flax, Is to 20 pounds.

NO DAIRY COWS IN

Efforts of the Democratic state

been almost unavailing, if the re-
ports of the county assessors are to
be believed.

standing that the assessors report
no dairy cattle a number Of flourish
