Turnlps are one of the easiest to
grow of all garden crops and produce
abundantly for each square foot of
soil devoted to them. Give turnips a
noise soil and cool weather in the
spring and they will mature in about
6O days or earlier. The faster they
grow and the more luxuriant their top
leaves the better they are; therefore
it is we'll to plant spring turnips in
rich soil. If they grow slowly they
tend to become woody and bitter.
ION the 18th day of July, SOW
your turnips, wet or dry" runs the
old farm rhyme, but the ancient au-
thor of the verse doubtless never
turnips in the spring. In fact you
may SOW your turnips early, as soon
as the soil is ready for any crop, and
it is better to wait for a wet day.
Damp ground makes the turnip seed
sprout we'll.
Because turnips need moisture, it
follows that they need frequent Gull
tivation, for much hoeing makes the
surface of the ground dusty and
saves the moisture in the ground
from drying out. Turnip rows, even
in a back yard garden where space is
limited, should be Is to 16 inches
apart, to allow the rank tops to
spread out and still leave room for
cultivation. A half ounce of seed
will plant 100 feet of row.
Plant the seeds half inch deep. Be-
cause of the tendency of spring tur-
nips to lose quality in warm weather
it is we'll to plant only small por-
ton of the total bed at once, plant
ing again at intervals. When plants
are we'll up trim them so that they
stand three or four inches apart.

ONE WHEAT CROP
BRINGS $4,000
CCLBERTSON MAN TELLS OF
HIS PROSPERITY SINCE
COMING TO STATE.
Filed on Land 30 Miles From Gull
bertson Nine Years Ago; Disposed
OF Last Seasons Crop for For
tune; Says That Big Crop Is in
Prospect This Year.

Nine years ago p. J. McCorkle
filed on homestead 80 miles south
Of Culbertson. When he had paid his
filing fees, built small house for
his family. equipped himself with a
team and wagon. and the necessary
farm machinery, he had but very lit
tie money left. He was veteran of
the civil war, almost at the thresh-
hold of the winter of his life, when
he started in to tame the wild land.
A little before Christmas, last year,
he sold the grain he grew last year
for $4,000. OF course he did not
raise the wheat on his original fill
ing, but in the nine years of his resi-
dence he has accumulated about
1900 acres of choice wheat land.
which is putting him on the way to
affluence.
Predicts Big Crop.
Mr.. McCorkle is of the opinion
that the farmers of his section will
harvest an immense crop this year.
''The conditions are favorable" he
said and we should harvest at least
35 bushels of wheat to the acre.
base my statement on the last year
crop, which ran in the neighborhood
of 81 bushels.
"Our greatest trouble at this time
is in getting good farm labor. Here
tofore we have relied upon the mi
gratory worker to help us put in our
crops and harvest them. These mi
gratory workers, as you probably
know are men who beat their way or
trains from one part of the country tc
the other, working here and there
but from all indications and the man
ner in which the railroads are guard
ing their property the men will have
to walk and in this case there will bt
gerat scarcity of farm labor thi:
year.
Many Going to War.
"The enlistments also are taking
good many of the young men from
our neighborhood, and farm hand
at $50 per month and board are hare
to get. OF course, during the har
vesting season we pay big wages
ranging from $3.50 per day ant
board during harvesting to $3.50 pc
day and board during tbrashing time
We hope to get plenty of men a littl
later on, when the weather settles
and the migratory workers can ge
through"
Mr.. McCorkle said there is ample
opportunity on new land for any
young man with plenty of grit, lit
tie money and the ability to work
hard for few years to become in
dependent Grain is not the only
source of income in the neighborhuo6
as there are several stock raiser
near him who are doing we'll.

EGGS
FOR WINTER USE
PRICE OF FOOD STUFF WILL BE
SKY HIGH NEXT WINTER;
EGGS TO CLIMB.
Water Glass Method Is the Easiest
and Most Satisfactory; Keeps Them
Well Enough to Permit of Poach-
ing; Buy Them Now While Price
Is Reasonable.

Many women have followed the
practice of preserving eggs when
they are plenty and have found it to
be an economy in every sense of the
word. With the prices of other food
stuffs as they are at present, the
price of eggs next winter will be far
beyond anything which this section
of the country has experienced. 1t
is equally worth while for the farm
err who has eggs to sell to preserve
them for home use when the price is
low. An egg selling for six cents
in December has no more nutritive
value than one of the same size SELL
ing for three cents in May. The farm
ers' family is the gamer instead of
the loser when the three cent egg is
made available for use in Deem
Der and the six cent egg used to in
crease the contents of the pocket
book.
1t is generally agreed that the wa
ter glass method is the easiest and
most satisfactory one to use. Some
women in the country tell of serving
eggs poached in November and being
asked how fresh eggs could be af-
forded at the price eggs were at that
time. While the white will grow thin
and care must be taken in separating
them, they will beat up as stiff as
when fresh and the flavor is not
changed
1t is a we'll established fact that
the egg is an important food in the
diet of children. Women who do
not preserve the eggs in water glass
hn Of ~
them through the winter at cost of
60 cents or more per dozen. A great
saving could be made by buying them
now. They will be found satisfactory
to use if the following directions are
carefully followed.
The eggs used should be not over
five days old. Infertile eggs will
keep better and the flavor will be
less changed if they are not washed.
Water glass (silicate of soda) costs
about 25 cents quart at the drug
store. This quart of water glass
should be added to nine quarts of
water and will cover Is dozen eggs.
The water should be boiled to drive
out the air and cooled before COM
bining with the water glass and the
eggs should be entirely covered with
this solution. The eggs may be add
ed few at a time as fresh ones are
secured. Sometimes after the eggs
have been stored in this solution, the
water shrinks below the surface. In
such case more water may be added
to cover the eggs. A wooden tub or
stone crock is quite satisfactory as
a container if thoroughly scalded and
made clean and sweet before using.
The eggs should be stored in a cool
place, but where they will not freeze.

SUNFL0WERS MAKE
BEST OF SlLACE
AS GREEN FODDER, ARE EQUAL
TO CORN; ENSILAGE FAIR;
YIELD is ENORMOUS.
Experiment Station Grew Twenty
Two Tons to the Acre Last Year;
Should Be Planted Early in June;
Put in Silage When Seeds are in
the Milk Stage.

Dairymen who live in the higher
valleys where corn cannot be grown
successfully should try out sunflow-
ers both as soiling crop and for en-
silage. Sunflowers have been grown
very successfully by the Montana ex-
pertinent station at BOZeman and
feeding experiments there indicate
that there are great possibilities in
the use of this plant as feed for
stock.
AS green fodder, sunflowers are
equal to corn in feeding value and
while sunflower ensilage is not equal
to corn ensliage, pound for pound, the
much larger tonnage that can be Sc
cured per acre makes it more econ
omical crop for Montana conditions
Last year on the experiment station
farm, yield of % tons per acre was
secured without irrigation, and
where grown in small plots under ir-
rigation thirty-nine tons per acre
were grown.
ing the last week in May and the
first week in June. The variety
grown so successfully at Bozeman is
the Mammoth Russian. This should
be seeded at the rate of 80 pounds to
an acre. The seeds are planted ten
inches apart in the row and the rows
should be 80 to SO inches apart. Sun
flowers should be given about the
same cultivation as corn.
The crop will be ready to put in
the silo when the seeds are in the
early milk stage which will be from
100 to 10 days after planting. To
prepare it for the silo, handle it in
the same way as corn. If it is to
be used as a soiling crop it should be
harvested earlier and run through a
fodder cutter
