EXPERIMENT STATION
FOR EASTERN MONTANA:
HAVRE SHORT COURSE

The legislature will be asked to
establish sub-experiment station in
far eastern Montana beyond the win
ter wheat belt, and another station n
the Flathead reservation, according
to Prof. F. B. Linfield and F. S. Cool
ey OF the agricultural college, who
were in conference with Chancellor
c. p. Elliott recently.
These additional stations, with
those already established, at Boze-
man, Moccasin and Havre, will cover
all farming and livestock problems
IN the state. which vary considerably
owing to climatic conditions and al
titude.
T. e. McCroskey, secretary of the
Havre Commercial club, conferred
with the experts. and arrange ments
were made for farmers short

elusive. Ten instructors will be de-
tailed for the meeting, and a carload
OF cattle will be shipped from Boze-
man for demonstration purposes.

100000 Head of Live Stock; Re-
port of State Veterinarian Butler
Made Public.

One hundred and thirty thousand
head of cattle and 29,786 head OF
horses have been imported into Mon
tana from Illinois, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota during the past
two years, according to the report of
State Veterinarian Butler, just made
public. This tells the story of the
tide of immigration that is flowing
into Montana. The livestock was
brought here by farmers of the states
mentioned who have located here
DUNG the past two years.
DR.. Butler calls attention to the
number of tuberculln reactors found
among dairy cattle shipped from the
east, and that were accompanied by
official tuberculin test charts and
supposed to be free from the disease.
Recommends Retest.
"There seems only one safe way of
buying cattle in eastern states," says
DR.. Butler, land that is to buy them
subject to 60-day retest, this retes;
to be made 60 days after their arrival
in Montana. Stockmen buying cattle
under these conditions are guaran-
teed the best protection possible, ami
the retest will be made withou,

Nearly everyone knows that
Grimm alfalfa is very desirable va
riety to grow but how many Montana
farmers can distinguish this from
other varieties or tell anything about
it's early history?
According to experts in the depart
ment of agriculture, the variety
takes it's name from one Wendelin
Grimm, who, when he left his home
in Baden, Germany, in 1857, to
settle in Glover county, Minnesota,
brought along Is or 20 pounds of
"'everlasting clover" from his old
farm. This seed was sown in Mime
sofa in the spring of 1858. Accounts
differ as to it's hardness and success
at first attained with it. However,
sufficient number of plants sur
vived the winter to enable Mr..
Grimm to save small quantities of
seed from time to time for future
sowings.
When Seed Came High.
The first considerable quantity
was produced in 1857 when 48O
pounds were threshed from three
acres and sold in Minneapolis for SO
cents a pound. During subsequent
years Mr.. Grimm's neighbors at
tempted to grow alfalfa from seed
produced in other parts of the Unit
ed States, but in practically every
case the sowings were entirely win
ter killed, while good portion OF
the Grimm plants came through in
good condition. In 1905 the depart
ment of agriculture began to exneri-
ment with this variety and since that
time 1t has been grown in comparisc n
with a large number Of other vari-
eties and strains and in practically
every case has proved itself the equal
and generally superior to any OF
these for hardness.
To the casual observer, the Grimm
alfalfa does not differ materially
from the common strains, but clos
er examination will show greater

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Are Montana Farmers Passing
an Opportunity in Not Paying
More Attention to the Potato?

Potatoes grown in the vicinity of
Waterloo, in Madison county, are
finding a market among the cpl
cures. Pat Carney, a director of the
state fair, who has won the North
ern Pacific's 100 pound cake on his
potato exhibits at Helena so often
that he declines to take it any more,
is the pioneer of the potato growing
industry of the Waterloo section. He
grows beautiful potato, dry mealy
and of fine flavor. His neighbors
have followed his methods and, with
him, are making nice returns from
their industry.
Makes a County Rich.
Arostock county, Maine, today is
the richest county in the United
State. The northernmost county of
Maine snatched the crown from Los
Angeles county, California.
The humble potato did it.
Potatoes that sold for IS cents a
barrel a few years ago now bring
$4.75 and the farmers are holding
much of their crop for IS a barrel.
AS result of this unprecedented
prosperity, Houlton is now the Sec
ond richest town in the country.
Fifty carloads of automobiles, not
flivvers, are on their way there.
1t is estimated that 100000 is
going into that county daily from
the potato crop alone.
This is no real estate boom, for
you can't buy enough ground to bury
a potato to its eye.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-12-29

Are Montana farmers overlooking
an opportunity in not paying more
attention to potato culture? This
question is not suggested by the fact
that potatoes are high now, but be-
cause, year in and year out, potatoes
make a reasonably sure and fairly
profitable crop, while on an off sea-
son, such as this one, the humble tu-
ber commands a price at which the
farmer can make a handsome prifit.
Montana soil is particularly adapt
ed to the growing of potatoes, es-
pecially where irrigation is possible.
With irrigation it is an easy matter to
regulate to a nicely the amount of
water than is put en- the potato
patch, and this enables the man who
understands the growing of potato IS
to produce large dry, mealy pro-
duct, the kind that the Northern Pa
cific is now securing the state for,
with the idea of using this particu-
lar potato on their dining cars.
The Waterloo Potato.
Several western communities have
been built up on the potato. Weld
county, in Colorado, is one section
that has gotten rich out of potatoes.
The fame of the Greeley potato is ma
tionwide, and there are many Sec
tions of the state where the Montana
potato is fully equal to the Greeley
spud.

COST OF KEEPING
HORSE IN WINTER
CHEAP WINTER FORAGE FOR
HORSES IS IMPORTANT
TO THE FARMER.
Some Farmers Succeed in Feeding
Horse through Season for $50;
When Multiplied by Five tr Six,
Means Quite Sum; Best to Feed
Some Grain in Spring.

The $50 or $50 that it costs far.
mer to feed horse a year is a con.
siderable item in the annual ex.
penses. 1t is important chiefly be-
cause it is multiplied by four. or six
or eight, and sometimes more, ac-
cording to the number of horses re-
quired to till the farm. Some far.
mers succeed in feeding a horse for
less than $50 year; more men ray
still higher cost.
Cheap horse feed is needed. Grain
is costly, hay is high, and pasture
sometimes difficult to obtain. More
reliance on cheap but palatable and
healthful rOughage offers the best
chance for cheapening horse cost
Some horses are Wintered Cell with
little expense.
Oat Straw and Alfalfa.
Oat straw and a small daily feed
of alfalfa or clover hay have been
used successfully on many farms
With a bit of legume hay to balance
the ration somewhat and give vari.
ETY. and the consequent encourage.
ment to consume more feed, the idle
horses do even better than they
would on ration containing consid.
cradle grain.
From the middle of March until
spring a horse needs some grain tc
give the strength for the hard work
that is to follow. Somehow a horse
maintained all winter on roughage
alone has a tendency to be weak in
the spring.
Build Up Energy. -...
Then, too, the system of the horse
cannot quickly accusrom itself to
handling lot of grain in place OF
straw and other cheap forage. II
grain is fed for few weeks before
spring work opens the horse gets in
shape to turn out the energy from
concentrated feed by the time it is
called upon to do it.

Ing plants often occurring side by

of the same color as those of the
common alfalfa there are a few that
are greenish, smoky or blackish and
occasionally a plant is found with

a tendency to branch and the crowns
to be low set and spreading, charac-
ters which are undoubtedly of great
Importance in rendering a variety re-
sistant to cold.
Montana Grown Seed Best.
When Grimm alfalfa first began to
demand attention all of the seed was
grown in Minnesota but as conditions
there were not favorable to seed pro-

PLAN NOW TO STOP
WASHING OF SOILS
FILL THE GULLIES THAT FORM
IN GRAIN FIELDS WITH
STRAW OR BRUSH.

On many of the rolling hills and
bench lands of Montana the soil
washes badly during the periods of
heavy run off in the spring and
early summer months and every one
has seen ugly looking gullies cut in
single season. BY utilizing some
OF the spare time found in the winter
months and putting to use the other
wise useless brush pile and the all
too frequent wasted straw pile much
OF this damage caused by soil wash
ing could be prevented.
Small gullies that have Just started
In the grain fields or even pastures
or meadows may often be stopped
Dy filling them up with straw or
brush. Even cattle paths in pas
lures often deepen so that they need
such treatment. Where the gullies
are more than foot deep and two or
three feet wide it is usually better
to use brush or concrete dams. The
prush dam gives better results if
straw is mixed with the brush which
helps hold the dirt Where the fall
Is enough to make the water cut se-
rlously it is likely to be necessary
to stake down the brush and straw
TO prevent their being washed away
For deep narrow gullies concrete
dams from six to IL inches thick will
give best results. Iron rods must be
used in reinforcing the larger dams
put heavy wire would do in the small
er ones. The middle should always
be left lower than the edges and the
supply way should be provided with

the bottom of the gully to prevent
the falling water from cutting in the

In the following communication to
The Herald, Hon. Richard A. Wilkes,
of Culleoka, promises that at an early

figures anent the cost of road con-
struction in Maury county. 1t will be
recalled that Mr.. Wilkes was one Of
the prime movers of the road organ
ization in the county that ON Saturday
passed into the control of the friends
of the existing system, but he an
nounces that these are matters that
cannot be sidetracked. His communi-
cation follows:
"To the Editor of The Herald:
"Please accept thanks for your cor.
rection as to what I said in regard to
that nomination. You state though,
that the most sensational and serious
charge / made was that one of the
work house board had hired his own
teams to the county. can see how
parties charged with that would re-
gard it as very serious matter, but
that charge was only live issue In
comparison to the charge made thai
the work house board, in their officia
reports had misrepresented the mile
age Of road built, thereby misleading
the taxpayers as to the cost of build
ing roads, and these reports were
approved by the county court.
"This matter of the extravagant cos
of the roads and other county matters
has become an eyesore to the citizens
Of the county and cannot be side
tracked in this way I will give, a
an early date, same more facts ant
figures taken from official reports tina
will be upon the sensational order
and will open a good many eyes as t,
how business is transacted in count,
court circles. R. A. WILKES"
