Dry Land Farmers Should
Not Experiment This Year
High Prices in Sight for 1917 Crop Make Planting Of
Tested Varieties MISUNDERSTANDING of Grains
Giving Best Results.

With the planting season Of the year
imminent and the winter, it is to be
hoped. thing of the past, every dry
land farmer is naturally keenly inter-
ested in the grains which he expects to
plant the coming season. In dry land
farming 1t is of the utmost importance
to plant the right type Of seed. for. as
everyone knows who has studied the
question, there are some varieties
which do well on dry land and others
whose planting insures the failure Of
the crop. In this year of high prices
no farmer should think Of doing much
experimenting on his own account; far
safer it is to plant those grains which
have proved most successful for farm
ers all over the state. 1t is the pur-
pose Of this brief article to summarize
the grains which have given the best
results under Montana conditions.
OF all the dry land crops, wheat
ranks first in importance. 1t is more
widely grown thany any other crop
and for the past two years the prices
have been higher on that than any
other grain. The acreage planted the
coming season will probably be the
largest ever seeded in the history of
Montana. Winter wheat is more wide
ly grown than the spring grain, prob
ably because the average yield is some
what higher, ranging about eight BUSH
oil Iar bn on
spring wheat yield. Winter wheat is not
adapted to all the dry lands of the
state and in eastern Montana is likely
to winterkill. The most common va
riety in the state is the we'll known
Turkey Red. though of late years the
Kharkof has been giving a bit higher
yields. The two wheats are similar in
their value and milling qualities. Win
ter wheat should be planted between
the middle OF August and the middle
OF September, at the rate of three
pecks to the acre
Spring wheat promises to be a most
important crop this coming year. There
are two types Of this grain, the COM
mon spring wheat and the drums or
macaroni wheats. OF the durum wheat
the Pclissier and Kubanka have in the
past been the most satisfactory. The
durum Whcats seem especially well
adapted to the eastern part of the
state. The difference in price between
this and common wheat has not been
great the last few years. OF the COM
mon wheats the Marquis, a variety in
troduced some three years ago, seems
to be giving the most general salts
faction all over the state Best results

In many parts of Montana the sea

farm gardeners who do not own a

Maxim.
Properly seeded, five or 10 acres of
irrigated pasture will be the most prof
table ground year after year, on the
farm. Such a pasture, it has been
demonstrated in this state, is capable
of caring for as much as three head
of mature stock per acre, or 80 head
on 10 acres.
This kind of pasture is produced by
seeding heavily with Il special pasture
mixture. broadcasting each kind of seed
separately, on well prepared ground
and covering lightly with the drag. Use
no nurse crop.
Two different mixtures successfully
used and recommended by the agri-
cultural college are as follows:
