Sweet Grass Farmer
Breaks Flax Record

A Tooe county farmer has broken the worlds record in
growing flax on dry land.
His name is John Hall. BE owns a 500 acre farm nine miles
west of the town of Sweetgrass. he has threshed the flax grown on
IS acres of dry land. It went S7.S5 bushels to the acre, the whole
tract bringing him 2,7S1 bushels.
The worlds record for dry land flax is SO bushels. But the
fact that this record was made on a very small tract, comprising
a few acres only, grown as an experiment by the government, makes
the Hall achievement, with comparatively large acreage, one that the
flax growers of the world will talk about.
E. r. Holderby, editor of the Sweet Grass Advocate, in order
to authenticate the facts in connection with the Hall flax crop.
personally investigated the matter, and secured affidavts from the
grower and the thresher of this particular crop. He also caused the
tract on which the flax was grown to be measured and looked into
conditions generally.
1.-THE data that I have collected, and my correspondence with the
officials in charge of the Montana experiment station at Bozeman,
establishes beyond question the fact that Halls achievement con-
sdtutes a world s record, - said Mr.. Holderby. The tract on which SO
bushels to the acre of flax were grown, was a very small one, of three
or four acres.
1--WE grow a lot of flax in this section of Montana, - continued
MI. Holderby. "There have been some fine yields by other farmers
around Sweetgrass this year, but the Hall crop exceeds all other
achievements as far as dry land flax is concerned
Mr.. Hall received $500 for his flax crop. or $96 per acre. In
cdentaly he grew a large crop Of wheat as well. His profit from this
season s operations will run well beyond $4,000.

The wheat rust, which during the

is not apt to recur next year in Mon

made by Prof. D. B. Swingle, bacteri-

There r. no practical prevent c
measures known at present, according
to Professor Swingle. Some varieties
of wheat, particularly the durum or
macaroni varieties, are more resistant
and some varieties, especially some va
rites of the soft wheat, are more sus-
ceptible. The weather is a most i'm
portant factor. Continuous wet wea-
Their during the late spring and early
summer is more favorable to the
growth Of the spores that cause the
disease.

Winter feeding of stock for the big
operators still affords a big field for
the farmer. This has long been an
important industry in the Yellowstone
valley. By fitting up pens and util-
izing his surplus alfalfa, the farmer
can carry sheep through the winter
for the ranchman whose ranges are
far from the railroad and who pays
frequently more than a dollar a head
for their feeding. This enables the
farmer to market his forage crop
without moving it while fertilizing his
fields without cost.
"In accordance with the general
plan of good farming o being car
ried ON in this state" says Seth Max

ture, cit is realized that a few sheep
are an economic necessity on every

GET YOUR BULBS
IN RIGHT AWAY
NOW rs THE TIME TO PLANT
BEDS OF TULIPS AND
BRIGHT NARCISSUS
Plant Bulbs in Light, Rich Soil That
Has Been Loosened to a Depth of at
Lease Ten Inches; Ground Over
Plants Should Be Covered With
Light Mulch.

If next spring you would have rich
beds of tulips, or if you would have
your lawn bright with the white glow
or narcissus you must plan for it at
nee for the bulbs of these flowers
must be planted in the fall before the
ground is frozen.
Plant the bulbs in a light rich soil
that has been loosened to a depth of
at least ten inches. The tulip bulbs
should be set five inches apart and
four inches deep. The narcissus bulbs
should be ten inches apart and five
inches deep. After the ground has
frozen hard it is well to cover the new
ly planted bulbs with a light mulch of
straw or leaves to prevent injury to
the young roots from the alternate
freezing and thawing Of the soil that
may occur during mild periods
throughout the winter. This mulch
should be gradually removed in the
spring as soo as growth appears
above the ground. The bulbs are quite
hardy and are not injured by severe
cold if the soil is well drained.
Tulip and narcissus plants are per-
ennial and if given proper care and
grown under suitable soil and climatic
conditions, will increase and multiply
from year to year. The bulbs may
remain in the ground for several years
but the third season the plants gen
orally become crowded and the bulbs
should then be lifted and divided.
After ~blossoming in the spring from
six to eight weeks should elapse to
allow the foliage to partially die
down when the bulbs may be lifted
with a spade or fork. Shake the soil
from the roots and store the bulbs in
a cool shady place where they will rip
en- and cure. When the old leaves and
roots are thoroughly dry they NAV be
easily rubbed off and the clusters of
bulbs divided. The bulbs may then
be replanted in the same manner as
the original stock.

widely scattered, and this work is
largely of a preventive nature. The
authorities of the state of Washing
ton are cooperating with Montana Of
ficials in this work.
The scab is said to have been
brought to Montana by a band of
bucks that were shipped in from Cal
ifornia a year ago by a sheep com
pany, whose ranches are on Sun River
about 40 miles west of Great Falls.
This band and other sheep that were
infected by them were dipped several
times many months ago, but the dip
pings were not successful in stamp
ing out the disease, hence the present
campaign.
Between $4,000 and 10000 head of
sheep will have been dipped during
the present operations and the work
will require several weeks. DIR. Nash,
who is in charge of sheep dipping for
the entire state, will direct the work.
