PLANTING CORN CROP
BETTER THAN FALL0W
CONCLUSION REACHED AFTER
CROP ROTATION TRIALS
OF MONTANA EXPERTS

That the raising of corn in alterna-
ton with small grain crops is more
profitable system than an occasional
summer-fallowing is one of the prelim-
mary conclusions reached through a
series of crop rotation experiments
made by the Montana Experiment sta
ton in the Yellowstone and Judith
Basin districts. just how far this has
been established, and how far STAN
dard practice may be formulated at
this stage Of the experiments, are set
forth in the bulletin, "Crop Rotations
and Cultural Methods at Judith Basin
and Huntley, Mont.,' which has just
been completed by Alfred Atkinson,
station agronomist, John M. Stephens,
superintendent Of the Judith Basin
substation, and George w. Morgan,
who was in charge of the dry land in
vestigations at Huntley station.

OUR 1917 WHEAT CROP
SIXTY MILLION BUSHELS

II per cent of the available land.
AS the present year draws to close
it is certain that records for wheat
production in the state will be shat
tered despite the general failure of
crops throughout the middle west.
Seth Maxwell, state commissioner of
agriculture and publicity, estimates
the wheat yield for 1916 Conservatory
as worth $36,000,000 to the farmers.
Others including Mr.. Stockett, fig
ure that the value of the crop will ex-
coed $40, 100000
Meanwhile, on account Of the diff
Guilty of getting full reports from
newly opened sections, it is felt that
Montana is being cheated out of part
Of the credit that is her due. Hither-
to dependence has been placed largely
upon threshers for data upon which
to base estimates, the threshing ma
chimes being provided with automatic
registering devices. Some of the re-
ports made by men in charge of
threshing crews are models of accur-
acy, but so many of the threshers
have been found to be careless in COM
piling returns that recourse is being
had to other means Of gathering crop
statistics.
Professor Alfred Atkinson, agron-
omist at the experiment station at
Bozeman, in lamenting the inadequacy
Of the reports made by threshers, has
suggested that county assessors be
required to get full crop reports while
assessing property in their districts
in the fall. He proposes that while
this new duty would be made man
datory upon the assessors they should
be paid small amount additional fol
the extra labor.

Sixty million bushels of wheat as
the Montana yield in 1917 is conf
IDENTIFY predicted by H. N. Stockett'
secretary of the Northwestern Grain
Dealers association, on the basis of
communications received from all
parts Of the state. Everywhere new
corners and established farmers are
preparing to break new ground for
wheat sowing and in some cases farm
ers, lured by the prospect Of continued
high prices, intend to convert to
wheat fields land hitherto utilized for
the growing of other crops
Many new homesteaders are expect
ed to take up lands in the spring with
wheat growing as their principal OBJ
jective and the homesteaders already
on the land who have cultivated only
the minimum portion Of their hold
ings are preparing to add largely to
the wheat acreage by extending the
cultivated area.
Montana, according to the govern
ment statistics for 1916, was twelfth
in the production Of wheat among all
the states of the union, but the enor-
nous yield expected in 1917 is like
ly to advance the state several points
toward the leadership that she is
destined to take when all her 3d.
600, 900 acres of good farming land are
under cultivation. During the 1G
years closing with 1915, the wheat
production of Montana increased from
100000 bushels to S3800,000 bush
els. Crops have been produced on
less than 100000 acres. or barely

LOCATE BANKS
EARLY IN 1917
BUT PROSPECTIVE BORROW
ERS MAY ORGANIZE
IMMEDIATELY.
Early Formation Of Rural Associa-
tions Will Hasten Systems Work;
Hearings of Locations. Will Not Be
Concluded Until December.

From many sections Of Montana
comes inquiries as to how soon the
new farm loan banks will be organized
and commence to do business. The
announcement has been made in Wash
ington that the location Of the twelve
banks will not be made until about
the middle of next January.
Since the board returned from its
trip Of holding hearings through the
East, North and West, it has been di-
costing and putting into form the in
formation thus far secured.
In few days it is expected that the
board will again hit the trail, this
time through the South and certain
portions of the East not included on
it's first itinerary.
It is said that the hearings for the
entire country will not be concluded
until about the middle of December.
After that, it is stated, the mem
bers of the board will incubate" for
about one month, in order to review
in detail all of the testimony adduced
throughout the country.
Can Begin Organizing.
It is expected that about January Is
the hearings will have been thorough
ly reviewed and digested and that the
locations of the IL farm loan centers
can be announced.
In the meantime, it is stated that
the Federal farm loan board wants the
prospective borrowers from the rural
credit banks to understand thorough
ly that they need not wait until the
loan center banks are located before
beginning the formation of the farm
loan associations provided for under
the rural credits law.
Anxious for Speed.
The board is now preparing sets of
blanks that are to be sent broadcast
through the country, giving full in
formation as to the formation of the
loan associations. They are encourag-
ing in every way possible the early
organization of these associations.
They say that if this preliminary work
is done by prospective borrowers, they
can make loans just as soon as the
farm loan centers are located.
Need Aid in Spring.
IF they wait, however, until after
the board divides the country up into
the proposed twelve districts, there
will be an unnecessary delay in secur-
ing loans. The board is particularly
anxious that the system be put into
operation in advance Of the farming
season, on the theory that early spring
is the time for men to make their loans
when they can have the advantage OF
the funds to putt in crops, or buy more
land, or make needed improvements

STORING SEED
CORN PROPERLY
IF KEPT UNDER RIGHT CON-
DITIONS TROUGH WINTER
TERMINATES PROMPTLY
Montana Growing Season Short and
No Chance Should Be Taken on De-
lay in Getting Crop Started Due to
Replanting-Drying Essential.

The excellence of the corn exhibits
shown at the state fair this year was
remarked upon by hundreds and
should encourage farmers to put in a
larger acreage of this important crop.
The time was when 1t was thuoght
that corn could not be grown success
fully in Montana. In eastern Mon
tana at least this idea has proven false
for the exhibits of Custer and Dawson
counties included corn that would be
a credit to any state.
One Of the most important factors
in the successful growing of corn is
that Of seed. The growing season in
Montana is short at the best and it
is highly important that seed corn
terminate promptly so that there will
be no delay in the starting of the crop
due to replanting.
The conditions under which seed
corn is stored have a very great in
fluence upon it's power to terminate.
Should be Dry.
Seed corn should first be thoroughly
dried and then should be kept dry
throughout the winter. If dry it will
stand any amount of freezing without
injuring it's vitality.
The main thing in storing seed corn
is to have it in a dry, sheltered place
and so arranged that the air circulates
freely about each ear. An easy way
of taking care of seed corn is to make
finishingnail hanger. Nails are
driven into a board so that they slant
upward and the corn ears are pushed
onto thenails. After filling the boards
are nailed or hung to rafters. Finish
ing nails can also be driven into the
sides of the granary wall and used fol
this purpose.
Stringing the Ears.
Another common method is to hans
the seed corn on strings. Take stou
cord ten or twelve feet long. Tie ONT
end around the center Of an ear ant
then tie on other ears by means of ;
slip loop around the middle of eac]
ear.
Make sure that the seed corn i
thoroughly dried this fall before freez
ing weather starts in, hanging it be
hind the kitchen stove if necessary
IF possible save cough seed for tw
years planting.
