SUMMER FALLOW
is TO BE URGED
MONTANA DEVELOPMENT ASSO-
CITATION TO ORGANIZE
COMMUNITY CLUBS
Effort Will Be Made to Pledge Every
Farmer in Dry Land Sections to
Use Method Which Has Proven
: Successful; Bankers Asked to
Help.

A plan which is designed to or
| ganize every community in the state
into summer fallow to establish a
policy of scientific dry farming
throughout the state, has been
launched by the Montana Develop
ment association.
Convinced that the summer fall
low method, if consistently followed,
will prove the solution of the dry
farming problem in the state and
bring about consistent and continu-
Gus prosperity to the farmers and to
the state as a whole, the association
will seek to interest every farmer in
Montana in the plan by working
through it's 1000 members.
An effort will be made to pledge
every farmer to adopt the summer
fallow method, the association an
nounces, and meetings to accom-
plish this end will be held in every
town and city of the state. The as
sociation's purpose is not to tell the
farmer how to farm, as the farmers
of the state know the benefits which
would be derived from consistent
summer fallow methods, but it pro-
poses to cooperate with the agricul-
tural college, the county agents and
the farm bureaus of the state by sec
onding their efforts with an active,
workable statewide organization.
The association will send out to
each city and town all printing ne
cessary for the summer fallow clubs
activities and will also supply them
with facts and figures which will
form basis for speeches to be made
at each meeting.
The merchants and bankers of the
state, once they have become con-
vinced of the vast possibilities of the
will put forth telling
effort to line Montana up with other
northwest states where conditions
are similar and where summer fall
lowing, consistently followed, has
placed dry farming on sure and
successful basis, the association be-
ieves.
The work of promoting organiza-
ton of summer fallow clubs in every
section of the state will be COM
menced Immediately, and complete |

Begin Work on the Garden

Half the fun in growing garden
comes from having your crops ma
ture early. But certain crops can
not be brought to early maturity un-
less the plants are started indoors.
Plant growers are furnishing mill
lions of tomato, cabbage, pepper and
other garden plants for sale, but
they can not supply the demand and
it is really quite interesting to start
these plants ones self.
The process is simple enough if
you know how, says the United States
department of agriculture. 1t con-
sists of securing low, flat tray or
box about three inches deep and IL
inches wide, and of a length that will
fit into a south window. Two or
three holes should always be bored
in the bottom of the box for drain
age, and to keep the soil from sift-
ing through these holes some small
pieces of stone or coal may be laid
over them. The box is filled to with
in one-half inch of the top with finely
sifted, rich garden loan and firmed
down with a small piece of board.
The seeds are planted in shallow
drills made crosswise of the box and
covered to a depth of about one
quarter inch. The box is kept warm
and the soil slightly moistened until
the plants appear above the ground.
Plants have a peculiar habit of
turning their heads toward the light
and the little seedlings in the box,
rs soon as they appear above ground,
will Immediately show a tendency to
lraw their heads toward the window. |
70 keep them from growing crooked |

,nce every day, so that the plants are

are formed, and the plant begins to
make a head, as the gardeners say.
BY this time they are beginning to
crowd each other in the box and it is
necessary to secure one or two addi-
tionaI boxes of the same general type.
Fill them with soil to the same
depth as the first and transplant the
little plants, giving them two or
three inches of space in each direc-
ton. If the plants are started ex-
tremely early, it may be necessary
to give them. a second shift or trans
planting in order to keep them
strong and stocky for planting in the
garden. A few good healthy plants
are better than a larger number of
poor and spindling ones. 1t does
not take many of such plants as to-
mato,. pepper, and egg plant for set
ting in the ordinary garden and for
that reason they can be given plenty
of room and allowed to make a
strong, vigorous growth.
Extreme care must be taken not to
overwater the plants grown in the
house. Before the house-grown
plants are set in the garden they
should be gradually exposed to the
air and sunlight and hardened, so
that they will not whit when they !
are finally planted in the garden.
This may be done by placing the
boxes outdoors a portion of the day
at first but finally leaving them out
the entire day. Care should be |
taken that they are not exposed to
strong wind and whipped to pieces
or badly dried out while they are
tender and unable to stand such
treatment
A few hills of early potatoes can
often be secured by planting the
seed pieces in boxes and treating
the plants the same as tomato plants.

souri,, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa,
and other more distant sections of
the country have been the wintering
places of these farmers. In many
instances their wives and children
passed the winter with relatives
while the men sought employment
where it could be found and most of
these families will be back in Mon
tana when spring has fully opened
and farm work becomes possible.
Of course not every farmer who
quit the state last fall will return but
railroad men who are more or less in
touch with the conditions estimate
that no less than 95 per cent of them
will be back on their homesteads by
the time the spring work is in full
swing.
Here's hoping that their faith has
not been misplaced and that the
hounteous harvests which Montana
has known in other years shall be
their reward in 1920.

1t may be possible to get in the
early peas this month. Often warm
spell enables the alert gardener to
get start. Early peas are the first
thing to be planted. The smooth
seeded varieties are the first to go
in, followed little later by wrinkled
seeded varieties. The smooth seed
ed varieties do not give as fine quail
ity peas as the wrinkled, but they
will stand colder weather without
rotting in the ground. However,
many gardeners are willing to take
a chance with the wrinkled peas as
soon as they can work the soil and
are more often successful than not.
The pea must have rich soil. Good
yields will not be produced on poor
ground The seeds should be given
plenty of depth when planting, shall
low planting will lose half the crop
in many cases. They should be
planted three or four inches deep,
as the pea delights in cool root run.
With good soil preparation, the
vigor and productiveness of peas is |
helped with the new nitrogen cul- |
lures or NEGOTIATIONS. They are not |
a wonder worker and do not obviate |
the necessity of thorough fertilizing |
and soil preparation, but they start
the peas on their way with good food |
These cultures for ino-
are sold for a small price,
quarter investment will do for
small garden and serve to inoculate
all the peas an ordinary gardener
will plant The culture is put up in
bottles, half filled. The bottle is
filled with water, shaken up, and
either the seeds or the soil moisten-
I'd and the trick is done.
Plant the peas in rows three feet
apart and give the dwarf varieties
he choice of location if there is any
choice in the richness of the soil.
rhe tall peas may be planted in
louble rows and brush placed be-
ween them.

THE DAY OF THE
SOD HOUSE GONE
PERHAPS IF YOUR HOUSE is
LIVABLE YOU WILL HAVE
LESS HELP TROUBLE
Make the Hired Man Reasonably
Comfortable and He Will Be WILL
ing to Stay With You; just as Es-
sential to Have Shelter For Your
Farm Machinery.

The sod house saved Montana but
1t won't make her. 1t has done its
part. Years ago it solved the hous-
ing problem of the prairies. The
dugout was a first assistant and a
valuable one. There are hundreds
of Montana folks who were born in
houses made out of the soil.
Montana today is beyond the sod
house stage. But the same old prob
lem the sod house solved is again
clamoring for attention. The state
is short of houses, both in the cities
and on the farms.
Right now it behooves every farm
er to take an inventory of his farm
buildings. You should find out if
there is a housing problem on your
farm and how serious it is.
Maybe your hired man is dissatis-
fled or you are having trouble in get
ting one at all. How about the house
he lives in? Is it attractive and COM
Portable? Was it well designed?
Has it been allowed to get out of re-
pair?
Think it over. You may find al
solution or a partial solution of the
labor problem in the hired mans
house.
A majority of the houses in the
city are built for permanency. The
farm house is just as important. If
you build, and you should if the ne
cessity exists, build for a hundred
years. Build well. Build to last. 1t |
is real economy.
And after you take care of the
human housing problem, which af-
fects both yourself and those en-
ployed by you, don't forget the live
stock and machinery housing prob
lens. They are important, too, if |
you would make profit out of
farming. 1t is essential to conserve
flesh and blood and iron. Poor
housing is peril to livestock both

TURN HAIR DARK
 WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody
 Can Tell

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand mothers recipe and folks are again using 1t to keep their hair a good. even color. which is quite sensible. IS we are living in an age when a youthful appearance is of the great est advantage E.fE
 Nowadays though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and mussy mixing at home All drug stores sell the readytouse product, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth' s Sage and Sulphur Compound" It is very popular because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time;- by morning the gray hair dis appears, but what delights the la dies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beauti- fully darkening the hair after few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

BOY WILL RECOVER
 FROM WIRE SHOCK

Elmer Jacobsen. tenyear-old hoy who was injured by fall from a tower on the high power transmits sion line on the Salmon Creek road yesterday afternoon, was reported resting easily today at St. Ann Hos pital Though badly shaken up and bruised, it Is thought he will not suffer any permanent injury from the accident.
 Evelyn Jacobsen. the boys sister, was an eyewitness. She said to day that her brother climbed the tower and when his head touched the telephone wires. which are 20 feet above the ground. he dropped to the earth stunned into uncousci- ousness. The power wires. carrying 2,000 volts, are nearly 30 feet tbove the telephone wires, and the induc- tion therefrom is said to be very heavy. The boys escape from more serious injury is considered remark able.
