YOUR WHEAT
TO CONSERVE MOISTURE

That the farmers who have grain
which is not more than four or five
inches high might profitably use the
harrow or the hayrake with the teeth
set so they would tear up the ground.
is the statement of County Agricul-
turist A. E. Emerson of Cascade coun-
ty, who has been travelling over the
country quite a bit of late. He says
there are many fields where the mois-
ture could be conserved to advantage
and the grain stimulated to better
growth if the ground were worked SO
as to stir the top, thereby preventing
the formation of hard crust.
Mr.. Emerson thinks that there are
many fields where such course would
mean a material increase in the
chance for normal yield and he says
that if some of the plants are torn up
by the roots those which are left will
be so improved that the change will
be we'll worth the effort it requires.

NEW INVENTION
BY CONRAD MAN
GEORGE PEARSON, PIONEER in
FLAX FIBER INDUSTRY, HAS
MACHINE TO USE STRAW.
Makes Tow Out of Material Which
Otherwise Would Go to Waste. and
Which Sells for $50 Per Ton;
Plant Installed and Is in Operation
Near Conrad

Important progress in the develop
ment of the flax industry in this sec
tion of Montana has been attained
this spring through the perfection of
a practical machine designed by
George Pearson of Conrad, which
treats flax straw that has been
threshed in an ordinary manner,
making of it a tow which finds a
ready market with furniture and au-
tomobile manufacturers at a good
price.
Mr.. Pearson, who, by the way, was
the first man to bring Montana to
the fore as flax fiber producing
state and was the founder of the big
flax mill here, conceived the idea of
building machine that would utilize
the vast quantity of straw that annu
ally goes to waste on the farms. Fol-
lowing up this theory he designed a
machine that would make of the or
dinary straw that had been threshed
a tow of excellent quality for uphol-
steering. Plans were perfected and
an order placed with an eastern con-
Germ for building the machine.
Machine Is in Operation.
A few days ago the tow-making
machine arrived, and was at once put
in operation. The result is even bet
ter than anticipated, and samples Of
the product brought prompt res
ponses in the form of orders. The
management states that they have Or
ders for more tow than could be
turned out with the one mill in year
and that the orders are still coming
in.
In addition to making the tow, the
machine reclaims much seed from the
threshed grain, cleaning and sacking
the seed and baling the tow at one op-
GRAFTON. The machine is portable
affair and is easily moved from one
location to another Straw is bought
from the farmers and piled in a CEN
trail location, and the mill is taken to
the scene and the worthless straw
made into valuable tow. Offers run
ming as high as $50 per ton have been
received for the tow. The machine
will turn out about one ton per hour,
and two shifts of four men each are
being used
The mill is being operated by al
company incorporated as the Port
able Flax Tow company, with l.. G
Miltz as manager. Shipments of he
first tow will be made this week.

HARLEM FL0CKMASTER
SELLS WOOL ABOVE 56

In spite of the fact that sheep
raising is almost thing of the past
around Harlem, owing to the fact
by the dry land farmers, George Pc
trie has disposed of the biggest clip
that has ever been sold in Harlem,
and he also received the highest
price that has ever been paid for
wool. He sold his clip, approximate
ly 10000 pounds, for Sc 1-2 cents
per pound. The total sum is a nice
little pile for the proceeds of one
years work. Last year he sold his
wool for the top price for % cents
per pound. This year he is getting
a little better than double what he
got then.
A few years ago when Harlem was
a wool center there were some 20
odd sheep men in this part of the
country. That was in the days when
the range was open. Now that it is
all taken up, and one by one the
sheep growers have dropped out Of
the business, until now there are only
three surviving. They are George
Petrie, II. w. Crossen and Chris Ma
loney. Each of them have acquired
considerable decided land in the past
few years and will be able to contin
ue in the sheep business indefinitely,
though they will probably have to
cut down their flocks considerable,
but in that event they will probably
raise better grade of sheep.
Otto Liese has sold his flock of
sheep and will go out of the sheep
business. He has not sufficient range
to run them on. He sold at splen-
did figure. A few years ago lambs
were sold here for 81 per head. and
that was considered big price. This
year the same grade of sheep is SELL
ing for $12 per head.
H. W. Crossen loaded out his wool
clip Monday. He sold his several
months ago at SO cents.

GOOD SYSTEM OF
LATERALS PAYS
SAVES A WHOLE LOT OF HARD
WORK, BESIDES DOING
BETTER IRRIGATING.
First Thing to Plan For Is Plenty of
Laterals Properly Located and
Well Built; DO Not Wait Till the
Last Minute Before Getting This
Important Work Done.

Very often we hear farmer say
that farming in the west would be all
right, If we didn't have to work SO
hard to irrigate the crops. OF course
there is great deal of work connect
ed with irrigation but great deal OF
hard work could be done away with,
If the irrigators would irrigate to the
best advantage.
of iaterals properly located and we'll
built. Water travels in the line of
least resistance, and is controlled en-
tirely by gravity. If the main lateral
brings a good supply of water to the
farm, the work Of irrigating can be
made easy or hard, according to the
way the water is handled. 1t is we'll,
then, to lay out a system of farm
laterals SO as to irrigate the crops
with the least possible work and with
the least amount of water.
Build bitches EARLY.
1t is poor plan to wait until it is
time to irrigate before making ditch
es. The ground will generally be hard
and baked, turning up in big clods,
and making a poor ditch bank, and,
besides, there is the added disadvan-
tage, especially in grain or hay, of
having the crop so tall that small
ridges and low places cannot be east
" seen, with the result that the lat
eral is not put in the proper place for
the best irrigation.
Laterals must be built on grade,
and as part of plan of bitches
which takes into consideration the
contour of the land, the nature of the
soil, the amount of water to be used,
and the kind of crops. All laterals
should be built large enough to car
ry the head of water it is intended to
use on that particular part of the
field.
A good irrigator wants plenty of
laterals and cross laterals. AS a
rule, short runs of water are most
economical both as to water and
time, and the water is more easily
controlled. In heavy soils. the runs
Of water may be longer than on sandy
soils. Personally, the writer would
prefer to have the runs of water in
beets, not larger than 500 to 600 feet

Saves Time Later.
1t is very easy for the upper part
of the row (nearest the late-'aD, to
get too much water, before the lower
end has been soaked enough, and
with runs of a reasonable length,
this trouble is reduced
BY spending one hour in laying
out farm laterals, we may save two
hours time (and more) in irrigating.
The saving in labor, however, is not
the only reason for a proper layout
of laterals. The irrigation of crop
is usually done at a critical period in
the crops growth, that is, when it
needs water. Therefore, it is import
ant that water may be delivered
quickly and continuously. 1t is poor
policy to have to depend on a system
of poorly located and half built later
ais at such a time. Laterals are like
fences a we'll built one does the work
it should with little trouble to the
owner, poorly built one is source
Of continuous bother.

PROPOSED PAPER MILL.

Expert advice has been rendered in
placing the eastern part of the state
out of the running in that proposed pa
Fer mill for the State. Here's what
the Greensboro News says;
fiJust by way of keeping up the re-
cords, it should be stated that Col H.
b. Warner slew the eastern paper mill
project with cold facts Col. Warner
after a certain amount of lowing into
the proposition saw not only relief, but
millions, in it. Then he says, he ap-
piled the crucible tests, and both relief
and profit were found to be lacking.
There seemed no use to keep beating
the tomtoms about it, after the colonel
had got he unanimous advice of the ex-
perts, including. the newspaper pub
fishers own expert, to the effect that
the cost of necessary special processes
for loblolly pine and gum, the eastern
groWths, to make news print out of
them, would be prohibitive. '-"
Warner says that It is feasible to es-
tablish mill in the western part Of
che State which, by utilizing what
western wood could be obtained, suita-
BILE for news print pulp, buying all the
waste paper obtainable in the state
and, we believe, South Carolina, could
control the market in the State. Such
being the case, that is what the pub
fishers ought to do"
OF course Canton. would make bid
for the mill, as there is already mil
lions invested in pulp mill there; but
that mill is supplying it's pulp to
bigger mill in Ohio which gnds it more
profitable to make fine paper and post
card board. Hendersonville would be
an ideal location, or rather Henderson
county would, for a mill should be at
least several mills from the city on
the river. The fumes, noises. etc., said
TO be Objectionable to the tourists,
would not interfere with that trade. |
