SEASONS OF NORMAL RAINFALL

1t is perhaps generally recognized
that irrigation is, more or less, supple
mentary to rainfall, but there is likely
to exist in the minds of those whose
relation to irrigation is not born CT
long experience or close application,
that when the season of normal rain
fall arrives irrigation can be dispensed
with. This may be to a small degree
true, if that rainfall came at just ex-
actly the proper time and was of suf-
ficient amount to supply plant life
with the moisture necessary to pro-
duce maximum yields. However, the
fact remains that the falling of rain
upon soils has always been intermit-
tent in character, and that during fair
weather a part of the water supplied
by rainfall to the sail becomes lost by
drainage, and that plant life, in order
to develop its highest efficiency neces-
states moisture applied at such times
as it is needed. It is indeed a rare
country and a rare season when a crop
a be matured with the soil contain
ing at all times the optimum amount
of moisture. There is no doubt but
that there r periods when any soil
even in the humid regions would pro-
duce larger yields if irrigation was
available.

STRANGE DISEASE is
KILLING STOCK

After several weeks investigation
government veterinary physicians have
decided that flu or hemorrhagic septi-
cemia is the disease that has killed SO
much stock in northern Montana this
winter. The animal is attacked in its
weakest organ, for example if the
heart is weak, the heart will be attack
ed. If the kidneys, or liver or lungs
are weak they will be attacked.
In the human family the disease
would be known as the flu. The tech
nical name is hemorrhagic septicemia
which the veterinary explains is blood
poisoning caused by the absorption of
septic matter into the circulation.
DIR. Zenor, a government veterinary,
stationed at Glasgow, was in Poplar
during the past week and has made
a number of post mortem examinations
of animals that have died with symp-
toms all alike and he is of the belief
that it is hemorrhagic septicemia or
fu that is killing them. To check up
on himself however, he sent speci-
mems of certain organs to the state
and national clinics to be examined
more carefully. If. his diagnosis is
found to be correct he will return to
Poplar at once and make vaccinations
wherever requested.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Some of tn,
changes in railroad operation adopted

association of railway executives a
meetings now being held in Washing

ed to enable the companies to give
the best possible service. These essen

Creation of a government body
charged with the primary duty of
studying the transportation needs of
the country and of advising congress
and the interstate commerce commits
sion as to the requirements.
Sufficient national control over rates
to prevent discrimination and unfair
competition between the rates charg-
ed in one state as against the rates
charged in another state or for inter-
state traffic.
Liberty to simplify and stabilize
railway transportation by permitting
proper consolidation.
Guarantee of the present rentals
paid by the government for a reason
able period.
Creation for use this present year
of a substantial loaning fund which
will enable the companies to COM
plete additions and betterments al
ready started.
While the railway executives were
in session the legislative, executive
and valuation committees of the ma
}ional association of railways and
utilities commissioners discussed
plans for obtaining the elimination
from pending railway legislation of
those provisions which would confer
on federal agencies control now exer-
cised by state bodies.

FORDS IN FOREIGN LANDS

According to a recent report from
the American Trade Agent at Buch-
Arrest, Roumania, received by the Ford
Motor company's foreign department,
New York City, a consignment of 200
Ford motor cars and $50 Fordson
tractors was amongst "the first since
the end of the wax and may be con-
sidered as'one of the most important"
because of the part they will play in
the reconstruction of battle SCARED,
hungry Roumania.
Speaking of the arrival of the trac-
tors, the report said: "The 'Fordson'
autotractors, though completely I'M
known in Roumania, obtained a very
large success at its first demonstra-
tions which were followed with the
greatest interest by a large number of
farmers, on account of it's remarkable
qualities and of the services it can do
IN this country where the work ami
mails have been destroyed by the enc
my invasion during the war"
More than three quarters Of the
stock arrived has already been sold
and is employed all over the country
to the delight of the Roumanian farm
ers who are seeing here a great future
for the autotractor.
Reporting on the sale of the motor
cars, the trade agent says: "The Ford
automobiles were sold Immediately on
their arrival and the Noel company is
waiting very anxiously a second con-
signment of 120 machines which have
been ordered, but it is doubtful if this
order will be filled inasmuch as the
factory advised that they were 1876, 900
orders behind on January LIST.
Shipments of agricultural machinery
from the Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
American Seeding Machine company
and the Roderic Lean Manufacturing
company to be used in Connection with
the Fordson tractor have also been re-
ceived in Bucharest.

The Best Cough Medicine,

When a druggist finds that his GUS
omers all speak well of a certain prep
aration, he forms a good opinion of it
and when in need of such medicine
is almost certain to use it himself and
in his family. This is why SO many
druggists use and recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. ]. B. Jones,
a we'll known druggist of Cubrun, KY,
says, 81 have used Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy in my family for the
past seven years, and have found it
to be the best cough medicine I have
ever known"

Chicago, Jan. 25.-In one of the

Chicago where he used to be a street

He got his old job back, but the
environment was disturbing ever tho
he had been pronounced cured. The
changing of bells, the sharp words of
passengers, the slamming of doors,
the Earring and jolting, of the car, all
wore on the wrecked nerves. "Abso-
lutte quiet" was a thing unknown to
him.
SO Bochmann attached a tube to

"To make the most out of National

LESS SOCIALISM-MORE FOOD.

Glass making industries in Belgium
are working at 100 per cent of nor
NAL, and other industries are rapid
ly getting on a similar basis. The re-
ports add that there is plenty of food
inc less socialism than in other coun-
tries The words might we'll have
been reversed, saying that "there is
less socialism and more food than in
other countries" thus conveying the
idea, which is true, that the less So
elalism the more food. If other coun-
tries which suffered less from the
war than did Belgium, would get back
to work they would find more food and
less socialism in their midst.

We, as M%ontanans, will find much
difficulty in placing our state in the
humid class, and in view of the fore
going, if irrigation can occupy a use-
full position in humid states, it GER
tainly can claim to be a paramount
factor in this state.
There have been conducted in Wis
consin a number of experiments with
different kind of crops to determine
the relative yields with and without
irrigation. Wisconsin is considered a
state wherein a sufficient amount of
rainfall occurs to raise crops and GER
tainly no n hears about any extern
sive irrigation projects being con-
structed in that state r, yet it has been
conclusively proved that the irrigation
of crops in Wisconsin does produce a
very marked increase in the yield. Ex-
periments made over a four-year per-
iod resulted in determining the fact
that although many sections of the
country normally possessing a total
precipitation sufficient to raise crops
there existed a faulty distribution in
time and quantity sufficient to pro-
duce a retardation of growth and con-
sequent scanty yield.
Broadly speaking the farmers of
Montana realize that the soil of the
Treasure state is enormously rich and
will, with sufficient moisture, produce
yield far overshadowing the eastern
and more humid states. The time has
arrived when the people of Montana
should realize that the moisture, so
necessary to successful farming, can
be supplied by irrigation-that the old
humid states practice of watchful
waiting for the patter of the rain
drops-is an out-worn, non-essential
and non-productive pastime.
The vicissitudes of the novice In ir-
are many but when once the
job is thoroughly learned, when once
the irrigationist learns to construct
and maintain his farm bitches, spread
his water and control his waste to a
minimum, stay with his job and resist
the temptation to quit the flats at the
first sign of rain, so will he succeed
and his reward will be made manifest
bountiful h%arvests, a sense of secur-
lty, and high land values.
Those who may be dubious need but
to set and compare the non-irrigated
with the irrigated sections of this
