Judith Irrigation Project

Following the recent examination
by engineers of the United States rec
lamation service a full report upon
the proposed Judith river irrigation
project has been received and was
submitted at. a meeting of those in
terested held at Hobson last week.
The project embraces nine town
ships and is of particular interest to
farmers in the vicinity of Utica,
Windham, Benchland, Moccasin, Ko-
lin and Hobson. The principal dam
site is located about six miles above
Utica and it is expected to reserve
approximately $4,000 acre-feet of
water and this amount of water is
very conservatively estimated by the
engineer as sufficient to irrigate A.
900 acres allowing for a foot Of wa
ter for every acre.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
NEW IMPLEMENT FACTORY AIT HELENA WILL
SUPPLY MONTANA FARMERS WITH WEEDERS

Grating possibly for a year. Several
cars of this material have already
arrived in Helena.
Fifty Factory Hands
The new company already has
four statesmen on the road and just
as quickly as the factory begins OPP
consisting of machinists, black
smiths, molders, painters, wood
workers and assemblers. In addi-
ton to this force there will also be
employed a large office force.
Several thousand rotary rod
weeders are in use in Montana, Can
ada, Washington, Idaho, Colorado,
Oregon, Utah and California and the
company plans a national advertis-
ing campaign with a view to enlarge
it's selling field to embrace the whole
territory west of the Mississippi river
and all of Canada.
The Standard rotary rod weeder is
the only machine of its kind made;
it destroys weeds of all kinds at any
stage of growth, doing 81 without
clogging or choking up where used
in large weeds or thistles, even if
two feet high.
In addition to being a perfect
weed eradicator it is also an invalu-
able tool for summer cultivation in
that the revolving rod packs the sub
soil or firms the seed bed, closing all
air cells and making a reservoir for
the conservation of moisture, leaving
at the same time an ideal mulch of
from two to three inches on the top
surface go essential in a semi-arid
farming country where proper tilling
and cultivation are necessary to re-
tain and conserve all available moist
ure to mature crops when most
needed.
1t is claimed for the Standard ro-
tary rod weeder that it is the only
machine made that will under any
and all conditions and at one opera
ton destroy entirely foul weed
growths such as Russian thjstles, fan
weed, mustard, wild oats, volunteer
grain, SOW thistles, Johnson grass,
quack grass, etc., and at the same
time prepare a we'll packed and
mulched seed bed ready to be seed
ed, doing all this work at an extreme
ly low cost.
The Standard weeder is of all steel
construction and weighs about 900
1t is equipped to be oper-
ated with either horse or tractor and
for about $3.50.

Too light seeding of wheat is
bound to cut down yields and prof
it's, but the exact amount to be sown
depends on locality and other condi-
tions. Farmers who are in doubt
about how much wheat to So should
consult other farmers who have had
large experience in grain growing in
their locality, or get advice from the
county agent. In some Montana
counties, in the southern part of the
state, 35 pounds to the acre has
given good results. Elsewhere as
much as 60 pounds is needed.
In order to obtain federal aid the
farmers in the drought stricken dis
tricts of Montana must meet the fol-
lowing requirements which were re-
Gently agreed upon by representa-
tives of the Montana agricultural ex-
pertinent station, the Montana agri-
cultural extension service and the
United States department of agricul-
ture.
Land which has produced two or
more grain crops since it was last
plowed must be we'll plowed before
it is sown to spring wheat. This
blowing must be not less than four
inches deep and the soil must be
turned over evenly. Land which
was broken for the first time in 1918,
land which was fallow in 1918, or
land on which an intertilled crop
was grown in 1918, should be in suit
able condition for seeding without
blowing and is usually better where
not plowed in the spring before seed
ing to spring wheat.
The land should be free from
weeds to allow the uniform covering
of the seed to the proper depth. The
seed bed must be mellow enough to
allow seeding to a depth of at least
two inches.
The seed sown must be of good
quality and practically free from
weed seeds. Standard varieties are
to be used, such as Marquis, Blue
stem, Fife, or some of the commonly
known durum or macaroni wheat.
The seed must be treated for smut
either with formaldehyde or blue
stone solution. The seed must ger
inmate at least 80 per cent.
The spring wheat must be sown
not later than May 10 and not less
than 45 pounds of seed must be sown

seeded in April and in no case later
than May 20. Durum seeded at the
rate of between 20 and 80 pounds.

Influenza in a milder form will re-
cur in Montana.
Precautions are to keep away from
crowds and keep away from people
with colds. People with colds are
urged to cooperate and not mingle
with others. In speaking of the west
ward march of the epidemic, DR.. w.
f. Cogswell, secretary of the state
board of health, says:
1.-The western progress of influenza
rather indicates that we cannot long
er hope to escape some recurrence of
the disease this year. In fact a few
cases in persons coming from the
east have already been observed. AL
though mild, the b~acteriology in the
cases is more or less identical with
the influenza types of last year.
fortunately, following out the
history of decreasing severity from
year to year in other outbreaks, re-
ports from other state points indi-
cate milder types of infection and
there is no reason to expect any such
fatality as occurred last year. Of
course a large number of cases will
inevitably produce some deaths but
the number of those will depend
largely upon individual conduct. Per-
a to a certain extent guard
against dangers of infection and I'M
due severity by observing the precau-
lions so frequently repeated last
year.
"Avoid crowds.
"Avoid persons with colds.
eff you develop a cold-go to bed.
eco to bed Immediately and stay
there until danger of complication is
over. In fact it is required that in I'M
certainty of diagnosis every case
must be strictly isolated. Common
sense and avoidance of historical
alarm should rule"

The annual report of State Fores-
ter Van Hook was made last week tc
Governor S. V. Stewart. A good
many phases of the forestry depart
ment work were gone into the state
forester.
Timber Land Selected
The report shows that under an
agreement and proclamation by the
president of the United States, the
state selected last year timber lands
in area, $1,000 acres and in timber
volume 618, 100000 feet.
Regarding the forest fire trouble
of last year the report says: "The
very low average of precipitation for
a period of three years brought about
a forest fire situation, during the
summer of 1919 that was critical in
the extreme; beyond doubt the most
serious ever experienced in Montana.
This department, with its limited or
~ganization, encountered the menace
with all available mean at it's COM
mand."
The loss sustained by the state of
Montana last year IN account of fire
shows an area burned of 11,975
acres, 1900 feet of marketable
timber and a money damage of $45,-
207.
The damage done by all fires with
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1920-02-12

in the state last year, according to
the figures of the state forester was
$~1,863,542 and the cost of fighting
all fires in the state was $1,293,-
439.67, making a total loss of 49,
156, 891.67.
Airplane Fire Patrol
Regarding the airplane fire patrol
which it is thought will be used in
the future within the state, the re-
port says: 'The forest protective
agencies of Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, California and Wyo-
ming are considering a plan to put
in operation an airplane patrol for
forest protection.
'The method was tried out in the
states of California and Oregon dur
ing the past season and the results
warrant the belief that airplane for
est patrol will prove of great assist
ance in the preservation of u for
ests.
"Col. H. H. Arnold, commanding
officer, western department air SER
vice of San Francisco, has thorough
ly investigated the subject and made
a report to the war department, out
lining plans for a 1920 patrol.
"Col. Arnold's report recommends
that the war department furnish five
aero squadrons of eighteen airplanes
each and allots to Montana one
squadron of 10 planes. The main
base is to be at Missoula with sub
bases at Helena and Kalispell.
"Under the plans now being con-
sidered practically the whole expense
would be borne by the war depart
ment and the national forest service.
Private agencies, including the state
of Montana, would be charged with
the expense of providing sub-bases,
landing fields and a few men at these
No expense need be incurred
for sub-bases or landing fields, as al
ready keen rivalry exists between va
cities, offering, at their W ex-
Dense, to provide such fields.
"As evidenced by our experiences
If last summer, protection of our for
ests is a very serious matter and this
opportunity to fully determine the
of airplane patrol, through the
national government, with a little CO.
operation from the several states,
should not be overlooked, and, with
your approval, this department will
the cooperation desired by
he war department and the national

He's a Regular Cowboy

Governor S. V. Stewart has re-
ceived a letter from a real ~all-round
cowboy. Not the Montgomery and
Ward type, but one who says he
wants a job where there are many
and the boys carry guns.
He says: II punched cattle in wy
oming. Now 1 would like to get a
job out there on a ranch. How big
is the biggest ranches out there?
How many cattle have the largest
ones got. What do they pay or
what will they pay this spring? Do
they carry guns out there? The
more guns I see the better 1 like it.
So please let me know if / can get
a job or not and how many cattle
have the biggest ranches got.

Being "alfalfa king of Montana

carries a lot of cash, according to
James Rannel of Harlem, who holds
that distinction at present. Grow
ing a crop of alfalfa seed worth a
little more than $4,000 cash en-
titles Rannel to the kingly crown,
his friends contend and as his seed
was all sold to one of the standard
seed houses of the country, at a
fancy price, it gives him high stand

grows.

This machine is made in two
sizes, eight and 10-foot. In Montana
this machine will be distributed tc
retail dealers through the State I'M
plement company, and in all other
states and Canada will be distributed
through wholesale implement job
bling concerns operating in the vari-
Gus states.
The great number of these ma
chimes now contracted for by Mon
tana dealers for spring delivery in
sures the new factory running at full
capacity from now until August first
when it is hoped it will be possible
to secure sufficient raw material to
continue full force throughout the
fall and winter and accumulate stock
ahead to take care of the require
ments of Canada and Washington
next season, which this year are only
going to receive a small allotment
each.
Company Employs Expert
The new company in an effort to
promote better farming in Montana
the coming years has in its employ
a soil-culture expert who has devoted
his life making an exhaustive study
of soil conditions in the northwest
and the proper methods of cultiva-
ton necessary to raise a crop even
in the most adverse years.
This is B. F. Sparrow, who is COW
ering the entire state of Montana,
working in conjunction with the ag-
ricultural county agents. His knowl-
edge and services have proven of
such value and he is in such demand
that his whole time is now occupied
in this work and he is delivering
from three to six lectures a week at
rural gatherings in all parts of the
state.
This educational work is being
carried on -.-the expense borne en-
tirely by the Standard Rotary Rod
Weeder company, knowing that by
intelligent farming operations great
er crop yields can be produced which
will mean a greater demand and bet
ter market for their equipment.
The new company was organized
after many months of hard work and
the location of the enterprise in Hell
ena is largely due to the energy of
R. e. Theinhardt, one of the progress
sive young business men in Montana.

head of the State Implement COM
pany in Helena for three years.

WOULD Ouarantine Alfalfa

Gov. S. V. Stewart has received a
request from the Montana state
board of horticulture at Missoula to
place a quarantine on all hay from
the states of Utah and Idaho and
from two counties in Wyoming, on
account of the alfalfa weevil IN
those states.
Governor Stewart did not act on
the request today, making the an
nouncement that he would decide the
matter after a few days considera-
ton.

Announcement was made at Hell
ena last week that Montana is to
have a new and important farm i'm
plement manufacturing industry,
and one that promises to be of the
| greatest value to Montana farmers.
r. e. Theinhardt, vice president and
manager of the State Implement Co.,
and T. c.. Power & Brother have or
ganized the Standard Rotary Weeder
Company, which will at one proceed
to construct a large factory in Hell
ena for the manufacture Of farm OPP
Grating equipment. Theinhardt will
be directing head of the concern, in
which he has been the moving spirit.
The new company has purchased
outright from the Rotary Rod Weed
er Manufacturing company, of Chen
ey, Washington, which company has
been building the Standard Rotary
Rod Weeder for the past nine years
with wonderful success, all patents,
equipments, materials, business and
good will. The plant equipment is
now en- route from Cheney to Helena.
The factory superintendent and fore
men of the Cheney concern will ar
rive shortly to be employed in a like
capacity by the Helena company.
AS soon as the weather permits,
factory buildings will be erected in
Helena. However, the company will
begin the manufacture of the Stand
ard rotary weeder at nee as temper
airy facilities have been arranged for
until such time as the new buildings
are made ready.
Manufacture Weeder
The company's plant will be de-
voted to the manufacture of the
Standard rotary weeder at first or
till such time as the plant is able to
meet the demand for the weeders,
and at that time other farm machin-
cry will be built such as disc har-
rows, peg tooth harrows, garden
tools and other implements.
Several thousands of the rotary
rod weeders will be built and ready
for early spring delivery. The com
pany will specialize in this product
as the demand is so great for it that
several additions were made to the
factory at Cheney to meet the de-
mand for the machines.
Mr.. Theinhardt recently returned
from Chicago, Pittsburgh, Youngs-
and other steel markets where
be purchased sufficient steel and
other materials to keep the plant OPP
