Peaches and Apples.
The height of the peach harvest will
come in August and attention should
be given to securing pickers, packers,
and packages. State and Federal laws
regarding the net contents of pack
ages should be understood so that
shipments may not be held up for
failure to comply with the legal re-
quirements.
The early fall apples will be har-
vested during the next 10 days. For
these apples, as we'll as for the later
ones, it is advisable to be on the look
out for a supply of suitable packages.
Much loss will occur if delay is made
in securing necessary boxes and bar
rels.
See to the SilO.
The silo is a proved economy in feed
saving. In conjunction with legume
hay it reduces the grain bill, and all
our surplus grain will be needed this
year for our allies. Everything pos
sible should be done to get new silos
built and old ones put into condition
Plans for filling of all silos should be
perfected. Hay, when weather condi'
lions will not allow it to be cured
can be put into the silo. 1nvestiga-
ton made recently in Porter county
Ind, by the State College of agricul-
ture and the United States Depart
ment of agriculture show that the
dairymen who feed legume hay OBJ
tanned as much milk from 62 pounds
of grain as others obtained from 1OC
pounds of grain.
Maximum Forage and Minimum Grain
Plans should be made this year tt
feed all stock the maximum of forage
with the minimum grain ration con
sistent with economy. Provide plainly
of pasture for hogs. Hogs may bt
finished while on pasture with the
self-feeder and save both grain ane
labor. From the standpoint of eco
nomy the hogs should be marketed
when they weigh 100 to 200 pounds.

MEN SELECTED FOR CAMP

MEN SELECTED FOR CAMP
Among the 1876 Montana men who
have been selected for appointment
in the army and training in the Sec
ond Officers training camp at the
Preside in San Francisco, are a num-
Der of prominent men of northeastern
Montana.
The candidates for the camp were
examined here last week by Captain
Clark and Captain Vanatta. The men
selected must report at the Preside
or August rs, and enlist for three
months for the purpose of training
only, and must agree to accept any
commission that is rendered them.
Those who will 60 to the camp from
this district are:
Clement A.. Parker of Glasgow,
Otto Huffman of Co. G., Arthur T.
Harvey of Lismas, H. A. johnson and
H. M. Kirton of Malta, Eugene A,
Dueber and George R. Haynes, both
of Scobey and Elmer B. Keplinger OF
Bainville.

Wheat.

The wheat crop was considerably
below normal last year. Because of
winter killing it will not exceed nor
NAL this year, although the acreage
planted last fall was slightly above
normal.
With the increasing demand of our
own country for wheat, the great
needs of Europe, losses likely to occur
through the sinking of grain ships and
the destruction of elevators, and with
the possibility always of unfavorable
weather before US, it would seem that
farmers are entirely safe in all nor
NAL wheat-growing sections in put
ting in not only a full winter-wheat
acreage, but considerably than
the normal. The high price of wheat,
present and prospective, fully war
rants also the greatest cultural care
this fall. Early blowing and cultiva-
ton to insure a firm seed bed, variety
adapted to the soil and community;
selected thoroughly clean seed and
treated seed while always desirable
are imperative this year.
On the lighter, sander lands where
wheat can not be successfully grown
without large quantities of fertiliz-
ers, or in regions where danger Of
winter-killing makes the growing of
winter wheat extremely hazardou
rye should be sown this year. Rye is
a more certain crop on light lands and
without fertilizer than wheat and the
price promises to be unusually attrac-
tive. Rye is very acceptable in Eu-
rope as a substitute for wheat in
bread. Plant up to the full limit of
normal years and then increase that
normal 10 to 20 per cent. Rye may
well be seeded now in standing corn
and after early potatoes, as a fall
and spring pasture crop to be later
"hogged off" after grain has formed
Such a practice builds up light lands
rapidly, and is economical of labor
Like wheat, rye responds profitably on
most worn soils to an application OF
200 pounds per acre of ~ to IA pei
cent acid phosphate. There are va
rieties of rye adapted to clay soils
others to sandy soils. Sow the va
riety adapted to your locality. If il
