Don't Burn Straw

Recent experiments in the middle
west show the value of applying
straw directly to the land rather thar
by burning or otherwise disposing Of
it. There is no doubt that, aside
from the actual increase in produc-
ton of a piece of land so treated, the
land is benefited and rendered more
generally productive.
For a four-year average, one ton
of wheat straw plowed under each
year gave an increase of 6.2 bushels
of corn to the acre the following
year, while n ton of corn stover
plowed under gave an average in
of LIS bushels of wheat each
year during the same period.
Heavier applications gave smaller
increases. Two tons of wheat straw
gave an average gain of only 3.3 bu-
shells of corn, while two tons of corn
gave an average gain of only
0.4 bushels of wheat, compared with
the untreated land.
This experiment was begun in
1916, and during the first two years
there were no increases with wheat.
but during the next two years wheat
gave an increase each year with both
the one-ton and two-ton slower APP
plications. In 1916 there was no il
crease with corn, but in 1917 there
was q very decided increase, and also
n both 1918 and 1919.

coming off green grass and the buy
ers were rather slow in taking hold
of them for that reason. Late rains
in many sections of Montana have
kept the grass green and prevented
the stock from hardening.
Charles O. Robinson, of Clay, Rob-
inson & Co., who has handled more
range cattle in the past 40 years
than any other individual in the COM
mission business in America, offers
the following advice to Montana
stockmen:
ut seems like good policy not to
hurry the western cattle in but to
give them every chance to fatten and
harden as this is the class which
buyers want and which undoubtedly
will continue in decidedly best de-
mand. The feeder outlet has been
much lighter this year than last and
naturally affects the thinner-fleshed
steers. However we think that with
every prospect of a big corn crop the
demand for feeders will improve and
will naturally help the general
Gas quotations indicate, western
beef steers are $3.50 to $3.50 per
cwt. lower than a year ago, stockers
and feeders largely $1.5O and cows
and heifers $3.50 to $500 lower"

GRAIN CROP Is
CUT BY THE HEAT
FEDERAL CROP REPORTER ESTI-
MATES MONTANA YIELD AT
25,OOO,OOO BUSHELS
The Dat Harvest Expected to be 49,
600, 900 Bushels; Estimated Corn
Crop VIII Be Between Four and
Five Million Bushels; Fewef Po-
tatoes Than in 1910.

The August crop report for Mon
tana of the United States bureau of
crop estimates issued by F. w. Beier,
shows the small grain crops in Mon
tana suffered a decided slump dur
ing July while corn and hay showed
a prospective increase over the esti-
mates of July 1. Late sown grains
and flax have been damaged by warm
weather and lack of moisture, and
potatoes have suffered from the same
causes.
The preliminary estimate on win
ter wheat places the yield at IA bu-
shells with a total production of A.
$4,000 bushels. The winter wheat
crop has been disappointing follow
ing the unsatisfactory conditions last
spring. Much of the crop has been
thin and weedy and after the esti-
mates were made for May l it was
found that the acreage remaining
showed a reduction by losses after
that date. While the yield is 5.4 bu-
shells below the f~ive-year average, the
quality of the grain is very good.
The average (1914-1918) production
is 12,418,0O0 bushels. Last years
crop was estimated at 100000 bu-
shells.

Three hundred boxcars are being
delivered every day at Minneapolis
by eastern lines to the Milwaukee
railroad for distribution throughout
the grain centers in the territory west
of Mowbridge, S. D., their arrival in
suring against any serious shortage
for at least another month, according
to H. r. Wahoske, Montana division
freight and passenger agent for the
road. Receipt of 800 cars daily
means, Wahoske states, that 1900
cars are constantly in motion towards
points of loading, as an average of
four days is required to deliver a car
in the western territory.
The MiIwaukee's Montana division
will get it's full quota of the extra
equipment and the first cars to ar
rive will be on the ground probably
during the present week. Cars in
poor order Ire being repaired at
terminals on the main line, but the
demand for repairs is so great that
work is being done at many places
by floating gangs of shipmen who
are transferred over the system as
occasion requires.
''There will be no serious car short
age at least until the shipping season
is we'll advanced" said Wahoske.

Spring Wheat SIumps

The spring wheat crop showed a
decided slump during July due to the
damage of the late crop from dry
weather and the fact that weeds be-
came a serious factor in some sec
lions. The damage from worms has
reduced the condition of the crop in
the northern part of the state. The
condition of the crop on August l
was 68 per cent compared with SO
per cent on July 1. The forecasted
production is 21,760,0OO bushels,
compared with a crop of 7,713,OO0
bushels last year and an average
(1914-1918) of 15,004,000 bushels.
The early wheat crop is generally
good and promises good yields.
The oats crop dropped from a con-
dition of SO per cent July 1 to 70
per cen August /. The crop is spot
ted, with good crops reported from
the central, southern and southwest
ern parts of the state. The forecast
ed production is 18,453,00O bushels
compared with 100000 bushels last
year and an average (1914-1918) of
21,75O,000 bushels.
The barley crop in the southern
part of the state is good but the late
crop has generally suffered for lack
of moisture. The condition of the
crop on August 1 was rs per cent
compared with 80 per cent July l..
The August condition forecasts a
crop of ~1,757,000 bushels compared
with $4,000 bushels last year and
five-year average of 2,155,000 bu-
shells.
Rye Yield Is Low
The rye crop was nearly harvest
I'D by August 1 and a preliminary
estimate places the yield at 10 bu-
shells with a production of 728,000
bushels. The quality of the crop is

Inc HnlLdLlOuS SURROUNDING Lu6
production of natural milk, in other
words keeping a COW, are becoming
more and more restrictive. The
price of hay and other feeds is rising.
The time spent in caring for cows is
in itself a costly item of expense.
Canned, e%vaporated milk has become
the solution to the problem of an ade-
quate supply of pure, fresh milk.
Carnation Available Everywhere.
The pleasing feature of using Car
nation is the fact that it can be pur-
chased everywhere-it is always
available. High in the mountains,
beside a year-old camp site, you will
find empty Carnation cans, evidence
that truthfully tells how coffee was
creamed. Cross the blazing, burning
flats, along the trail of the pros
pector. and where he dug his holes
and pitched his tent empty Carna-
ton car indicate that even he, in
the Wilds, was unwilling to do with
out milk for his coffee. Everywhere,
at all times, a ready supply of pure,
fresh milk is afforded by Carnation.
Carnation lis a Harvest Time-Saver.
The harvest season of Montana
moves with a rush. Time is the most
important element that farmers have
to utilize and every hour must be fill
ed with activity. Men work hard, and
eat like working men have always
eaten. Carnation both makes food
taste better, and makes the prepara-
ton of every meal UNNECESSARILY
easier for the cooks. The harvest
dinner seems to follow on the heels
of breakfast, and supper comes al
most before the diner dishes are off
the table. There Is a lot of work in
the kitchen, and much of it can be
avoided by the use of canned, evapor-
ated milk. In summer time, above
all others, Carnation is a time and
money saver.
The reason is plain. Carnation is
most convenient, always ready for
use, clean, sweet, pure. The busy
housewife never opens a can and
finds Carnation sour.
There are no cows to milk and
feed, no straining to be done, no pals
and pans to wash and set in the sun,
and NO milk shortage to worry about.
The grocer always has Carnation.
Carnation Purity Standard.
Carnation is just pure, sweet, rich,
OOW . 0QAlh 0foPOA obO01 OCoAO0 II a l
tight cans and sterilized. Nothing
is added, only part of the water is
removed. The milk as it comes in
the can is of just the right consist
ency to be used on fruit, cereals, and
in coffee. If milk of natural consist
ency is needed, an equal part of
water added to Carnation makes it,
equal to highest quality whole milk.
Carnation will keep indefinitely,
and is ready to use at any time. Con-
venience and economy, plus a purity
standard that has been unquestioned
for twenty years make C~arnation the
harvest-time and "all year" answer
to the question of a pure milk" sup
ply.
Thousands of Montana housewives
will save time, money and effort this
summer by using Carnation. Keep
! couple of cases handy, and Carna-
ion will do the same things for you. l

VIEWING WITH ALARM.

I thought, when nations were at
bay, that when the war was ended,
we'd all get busy baling hay, with
diligence quite splendid. l thought
we'd lay aside the sword, the shot
gun and the sabre, and try to earn
our bed and board by sane and use
full labor. 1t never one occurred
to me that we would all be dotty
that from the useful tasks we'd fee,
for pastimes vain and naughty. And
when / saw the country crazed, 1
ventured to defend it; 1 said, by
war we have been dazed-a month
or two will end it." A month or
two then rolled away, and other
months soon followed. and still the
country was at play, and in its or
gies wallowed. The speeding
months are making tracks, and into
years they're growing. and still we
don't get down to tacks, or make a
decent showing. One needs a
searchlight If he'd find the man who
works with ardor, who has declin-
ing years in mind, as he digs in
the harder. A joyride life the boys
would lead and blow in all their
winnings; in vain / rant and preach
and plead-the sports must have
their innings.
