ADVANTAGES Of RYE
ARE VERY NUMEROUS
Can Be Used for Grain, Hay,
Pasture and for Green
Manuring.
IS A DRY-LAND CROP
Winter Variety One Of Best
Pastures Planted in Au-
gust or September.

a crop that is little known in some
portions of Montana, yet which is one
of the most valuable dry-land crops
is winter rye. There arc many uses
for this crop on the dry land farm
among which can be numbered grow
ing it for grain. for hay, for pasture
and for green manuring. The winter
varieties OF rye can be grown under a
great ter. variety Of conditions than any
other cereal adapted to semi-arid re-
gions. It is the hardest of all cereals
viewed from the standpoint OF climatic
conditions 1t will stand more heat and
drought than practically any other
cereal and by far the most cold. Com
pared with wheat it will grow on poorer
soil. in colder regions and under dricr
conditions. 1t is also much more valu-
long period which it will grow when
kept down by close grazing. There
have been instances under such condi-
tons when ii has been kept growing
for two and even three years. One OF
the chief objections to the grain arises
| from the fact that it skaters and vol
untcers most readily and hence is apt
to get mixed in with the wheat.
Winter rye makes one of the best
pastures for tho dry-l land farm. Planted
in August or September. it can be pas
tured in the fall and again in the
spring. If another plot is planted early
in the spring. by the time the fall
planted rye begins to grow coarse the
second plot is ready for the stock and
will carry the animals until well along
in the summer. a late spring planting
in turn will carry the animals from
the time the spring planting gives out
until the fall planting is ready again.
Thus the three paintings of rye will
carry the stock through the entire
grazing period.
Rye does not stool as readily ms
wheat and should be sown somewhat
thicker. For grain rye is generally
sown on dry lands at the rate OF five
pecks to the acre where the rainfall
Is in the ncighbOrhoOd of Is inches for
the year. When sown for pasture or
for hay as much as two bushels to the
acre may be sown. For green manure
a thick seeding Is desired.
Rye will stand more cultivation after
1t is up than wheat or some OF tn,
other grains and can be narrowed
without seriously damaging the stand
Owing to its habits of feeding. rye will
grow on poorer soils than the other
cereals though II will also respond &c
good treatment and soils. Summing il
up. rye is worthy of wider use than IL
lat present accorded il and this season
when hay is scarce ard likely to bt
high in price, it should have a place or
most dry-land farms on lands which
the Iatcncss of the season prevented
being sown to other crops.

LIVESTOCK AFFECTED
BY HIGH GRAIN PRICE
Farmers Devoting Attention
to Increasing Amount of
Wheat Produced.
STOCK HIGH IN PRICE
Sheep and Hogs Appear
Most Profitable at Present
for Small Farmer.
STOCK HIGH IN PRICE

High grain price $ have been the
rule for the past two years and there
is every prospect on an increase in this
direction rather than any drop In con-
sequence many farmers are devoting
most of their time and efforts to grain
production and are almost totally over
looking the livestock situation. With
the advance in grain, livestock has
likewise gone up. This advance has not
been so marked in cattle as in sheep
and hogs. with mutton selling at the
present prices. and hogs bringing
to overlook their present oppOrtuni-
ties in livestock production. They can
afford to feed even the present high
priced grains to animals that will bring
the above figures. There is probably
ground for hcsitancy in going into cat
tie at the present prices. cattle are not
turned either as easily or as quickly as
hogs and sheep. This is not intended
to discourage any farmer from en-
barking in the cattle business. rather
~ - Stdicu " DOiHl Out Tue advantages
of sheep or hogs for the small farmer.
1t will cost little to get into the hog
business on a small scale. \ few brood
sows will turn the trick and in a single
season a fair breeding herd can he
built up.
Not only will livestock make money
for the good feeder at present grain
prices. but they will consume good
part of the roughage that is SO gen.
orally wasted under existing condi-
tons, they will make better money out
of the pastures and generally benefit
the farm. Then, too. there is bound
to be an end to high prices of grain
one of these days, and then the farm
ers must of necessity fall back on
livestock. 1t is better to look ahead 4
bit and get the stock started and estab-
lishcd now. than to be left with lot
of grain that will command low prices.

GOOD PREPARATION
IS NEED OF NEW LAND
Professor Whipplc Tells How
to Get Land in Shape.

Bozeman, May 12.-How to prepare
new land for garden purposes is en-
planned by Professor . b. WhippIc Of
the Montana Agricultural college who
reminds those who expect to use pre-
viously unCultivatcd city lots or other
new tracts that special effort will be
necessary if the land Is to be made as
productive as possible.
One OF the first steps is to remove
from the land any coarse material
weeds or woody rercnnials. This may
be gathered in small piles and burned
upon the ground without injury. II
the land is in sod, cut up the surface
three or four inches deep with a sharp
disc. II this discing stirs up much
more coarse material. 1t would be well
to work this out OF the soil with q

grains both from a mcrccnary and from
a patriotic standpoint.
Ordinarily we figure on summer fall
low dry land every other year. or
| Whereabouts. This year few farmers
will do that. There is an abundance of
moisture in the soil at the present
time there is a need for grain: it be-
hoovcs us to dispense with summer
fallow and plant every available acre.
1t is not entirely a matter of choice;
necessity dictates. Our nation needs
! our help.
AS has been said, we can afford to
take unusual risks. In an article re-
Gently published In many Montana pa
pcrs the statement was made that we
can safely plant wheat up to May Is.
Ordinarily so, yes. But this is no
ordinary year. We can afford to plant
two weeks later than that, to plant up
to June this season. Sow the seed a
little more thickly than usual this will
make for early maturity. but keep on
planting until the first Of the month OF
June. That gives three months of warm
weather to grow the crop. Some of 1t
may be frosted. or again some may
get a touch of drought, but the chance
is worth taking. Keep on planting, that
is the point. the main idea. Get wheat,
no matter how.

the present shortage of eggs in stor-

to be scarce this fall with resultant
high prices.
To meet this shortage and help with

should see to it that they secure their
supply OF eggs for packing early. for

U. S. Officer Rescues
Lost Private Under
Hail of Hun Bullets

With American Army in France,
Nov. 23.-The American Army was
thrilled to-day by, the heroic action
of a young lieutenant in saving the
life of a soldier. A private, a menu
ber of patrol, lost his way and
went to sleep in a she'll crater in No
Mans Land last night. The patrol
returned and it was found he was
missing.
At daylight the Germans saw the
American soldier near the line and
opened fire with rifles and grenades.
The soldier remained in the crater.
A lieutenant. whose home is in
-. Wyo., saw the man was
in danger of immediate death and
went out over No Mans Land through
a hail of enemy machine-gun bullets
several hundred yards, got the SOL
dier and led him back to the Ameri-
can lines amid cheers
After being rescued. the soldier
said that when he looked over the
top of the shell crater the enemy
saw him Immediately and the first
bullets and grenades nearly got him.
The attention of the lieutenant was
attracted by the firing and through
field glasses he saw the shrapneI he'll
met of his man in the crater. He
gave orders for no rifle or machlne-
gun fire on the enemy lines and then
started out, making part of the way
through a depression in the ground.
The Germans turned their attention
to him and for some minutes bullets
whizzed on all sides, but none hit
him. The soldier said that he did
not know in what direction his own
lines were. otherwise he would have
tried to get to them himself
