Tan Grass Killing Off Stock

Tan grass which is found neal
lakes and sloughs and which is being
fed this winter because of the scar
city of hay is thought to be respon-
sible for the loss of cattle that is oc-
curing on the Fort Peck reservation
and south of the river from this
point. One of the largest outfits in
this part of the state has lost about
20 head while some of the smaller
ranchers and farmers report losses
of n or two head of stock each.
This tan weed is of the buckwheat
family and natures late around
sloughs and lakes. The symptoms
among the stock affected are all the
same. There is a noticeable scour-
ing which is sometimes followed by a
fit, and if death results the animal
apparently experiences no agony.
Upon examination it will be discover
ed that the organ known as the small
er stomach has become badly in
famed. DR.. Augustus B&fdan, fed
eral veterinarian is conducting an in
vestigation.

Give Your Farm a Name

The farm may be named from
some outstanding characteristic, as a
knoll, a glen, a grove of trees, or to
designate some product of the farm.
Or if no outstanding feature presents
itself, it may be given a name that
is distinctive for it's musical sound
as an old Indian name.
But the farmer should take no
risks of having his farm designated
by the public by any such name as
the "Old Smith Place."
Let the World Know
Having once chosen a name, the
farmer should it to the
world. He may have it on his let
ter-heads and envelopes, but he also
should have a sign as the business
mar of the city has.
This sign may be in the form of
an attractive gateway, built of stone
and arched I'VE the entrance with
lettering of stone. Or where farms
are electrically lighted it may be
built in such a way that it may be
illuminated at night. But If either
of these plans is too elaborate the
sign may be painted in bold, out
standing letters upon the barn or
sign board.
The advertising value Of the farm
name can scarcely be estimated. The
products will sell much more quick
ly, since the name will help to ad-
vertise their qualities.

FARMERS URGED TO GO BACK
TO DIVERSIFIED PRODUCTION

You have heard a great deal about
the problems of reconstruction that
are pressing for solution. But, like
most men, you have probably thought
of them as tremendously big prob
lens that had to be solved, nationally
and internationally, by statesmen and
diplomats and high executives. They
are that-but not just that. Every
man-certainly every farmer-has
a reconstruction problem all his own.
The war unbalanced the agricul-
ture of the United States by unbal-
ancing the agriculture of individual
farms. There had to be produced the
kind of food that could be transport
ed overseas. Wheat is pre-eminent-
ly that kind of food, and other grain
crops are to an extent such. Very
many farms, therefore, got too heavy
on the side of titled and cereal crops
and too light on the side of hay crops
and pasture. Many farmers increas-
ed their titled and cereal crops be-
yond what they had any basis of ex-
perience in carrying. Labor require
ments were increased. Rotation
practices were interfered with. To
IuG GAICnL LudJ LAC MACdL dCICdSC MdO
increased, because, under the extern
sive farm practice that characterizes
American agriculture, wheat is a crop
that is very sensitive to climatic un-
certainty, such a practice long con-
tinued was likely to result, therefore,
not in increased food production at.
all, but in actually reduced food pro-
duction. In the long run, that would
be the inevitable result. Even if by
some miracle the hazard of weather
could be escaped, the practice would
reduce soil fertility until yields
would be greatly cut down. But, be-
fore that even, meat production
would be harmfully reduced. For it
is as true physically as spiritually
that man does not live by bread
alone. Very largely, he lives by
meat. And meat animals-and milk
animals - do not grow On grain
alone. Most largely, they grow and
produce on green grass and dry grass
and hay.

More Cows Needed on Farms

"Dry land farmers who kept a few
head of cows on their homesteads
were not driven out by the drouth,'
says w. H. Fluhr, state dairy inspect
or. "Many others were unable to
ruined their crops. 1t Shows the
value of milk COWS to the average
farmer"
Mr.. Fluhr talked generally on the
problems of dairymen and dairy
manufacturers. He said that he in
tended to call a meeting next month
in Helena of all of the dairy manu-
facturers to discuss and perhaps
adopt a series of resolutions passed
by the federal relief commission at
a meeting in Omaha late in the fall.
These resolutions have to do with the
manufacturers of dairy products.
Since the producers are also interest
ed in these problems they will pro-
badly be invited to attend.
"The cold weather had a serious
effect upon the dairy business" said
Mr.. Fluhr. "It emphasizes the i'm
portance to the farmers of building
barns for their milk COWS. A COW
Gall uOC pIouuC0 pIOIlIdDly WHeu Sic
has not protection from the cold.
The ooner the farmers who milk
COWS realize this they will see how
their labors will be rewarded"
Mr.. Fluhr laid stress upon the i'm
portance of cooperation between the
dairy manufacturers and he urged
that the producers likewise work to-
gether, not only among themselves
but with the manufacturers as well.

EXPERIMENT STATION
COMPLETES 18TH YEAR

The following notes are taken from
the tw~enty-fifth annual report of the
Montana agricultural experiment sta
ton, F. B. Linfield, director:
"The experiment station work be-
gan in 1893-94 with four members
on the working staff. The staff at
present includes % workers, an in
crease of $50 per cent.
During the year 1917-18 the ex-
pertinent station published bulletins,
pamphlets and circulars with a total
number of 3,339,000 pages.
"The present horse barn was built
to provide accommodations for the
horses needed on $50 acres of land.
Our land area is now about 900 acres
and this building is wholly made
quate for our work"
agriculture is not one, but a
group of activities, and as no farmer
can cover in his practice the whole
field of agriculture, but must special
ize to a considerable extent, so the
experiment station, if it is to do eff
fective work, must divide its field in
to sections, each section in charge of
a specialist"
"The first farm management work
undertaken was a survey of a group
of irrigated farms in Gallatin county.
The results of this study clearly de-
monstrated that success in farming
does not depend entirely on large
yields of crops or on the productive
ness of the livestock, but also upon
such an organization of the farm
business as will utilize all the farm
resources to the fullest possible ex-
tent"

The recent warm weather a been
a Godsend to stockmen in these parts,
not so much because it has resulted
in barring some sidehills of snow and
so giving cattle a chance to find a
little feed for themselves, as because
the moderate weather has helped the
cattle to get along with less feed
from the winter stores. Below zero
weather coupled with short rations,
saps the vitality of cattle fast. There
has already been considerable loss of
stock, especially horses, in the range
sections of the state.
On the other hand, the great pre-
cipitation this fall has left the ground
pretty we'll soaked and with unusual
reserves of moisture for spring plant
ing. The farmers who have been
short of moisture for three years
now, look forward with hope to a
good crop year in 1920. 1t is, of
course, too soon to make any predic-
tions about that, but the fact that
they are encouraged by the heavy
snow fall is something gained. 1t
will no doubt result in a very heavy
acreage of spring planted grain.
Farmers who are left badly in the
hole by the last three years opera
tions in grain raising have an excel
lent chance to pull themselves out by
next years crop. The fall planting
was about 80 per cent short of the
year before on account of lack of
moisture to start the grain. This will
also have a tendency to increase the
spring crop. There will be a heavy
demand for seed grain in the spring,
and the forehanded man will supply
his needs early this year.
