STATE ANIMAL CENSUS
SHOWS 5000 HEAD DEER

Forty-three thousand, five hun
dred deer, are ranging on the forests
of Montana, according to the annual
grazing reports of the forest service,
in which is included an informal cen
sus of the number of game animals
in each of the national forests of
the Treasure state. Deer and elk
exist in large numbers, with moose,
mountain sheep and goats and the
nearly extinct caribou to keep them
company.
While moose seldom are seen and
the average resident does not ina
CINE that they exist in this state,
there are 1878 in Montana forests.
Thirty caribou are ranging in the
Kootenai forest. This is the only
herd of it's kind in the west.
There are $500 mountain sheep
and 1850 mountain goats that have
been counted.

Test your seed and you will save
worry, work and money. Good seed
is one of the fundamentals to the
growing of good crops, therefore not
only the quantity but the quality
should be ascertained before plant
ing.
This is the advice of specialists of
the Montana State Agricultural col
lege. The seed testing laboratory
of the agronomy department makes
accurate tests of all seed samples
SEM in from individual farmers and
firms from all owe the state. No
fee is charged for the service.
Seed testing saves the farmer
worry, work, and money because the
test determines what per cent of the
seed will terminate. This enables
the farmer to SOW only seed that will
grow. 1t saves him the expense of
buying seed which will not grow. 1t
requires just as much time and labor
to prepare soil to receive poor seed

interest has been aroused in the
meeting, according to Nj. Edy, who
said that many hearty responses had
been received by his office. Many
representatives of the county boards
of commissioners who are particular
" interested in the 1920 program
will be here in addition to the large
number of contractors.
The road school program will in
clude many matters of interest to
county commissioners and road en-
gineers and the third day will be de-
voted entirely to engineers and
others employed by the commission.
There will be from 10 to II %represen-
tatives of each district office of the
highway commission at the meeting.
Moving picture films of highway
methods in handling equipment of
different kinds will be shown at the
road school and the county commits
sioners of Lewis and Clark county
will lend their road equipment to the
commission for demonstration pur-
poses. The equipment of the high
way commission is stationed at Deer
Lodge and the Lewis and Clark coun-
ty equipment is complete.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
ONCE AGAIN TEST YOUR SEED


/ as it does to receive the best. But
the difference in returns is enor-
nous.
Good Seed Scarce
Seed testing reveals to the farmer
the amount of mixed seeds hat he
has present. An accurate test often
proves that certain seeds contain a
large per cent of weed seeds and for
eign agricultural seeds.
This year it is very difficult to get
good alfalfa seed. So difficult, in
fact, that neither purity, age nor
weathering appear to be taken into
consideration by many who are ex-
pecting to buy or sell seed. Much ex-
| cellent seed has been received which
indicates that it is possible even this
season to secure good seed if one
takes sufficient pains to do so.
If farmers would make use of the
seed laboratory they would find it a
great help in securing clean seed of
high quality. 1t takes only from six
to 2S days to have the seed tested.
The finer seed, such as bluegrass,
takes longer but some seeds require
only a very short time.
LII SOulO 0LoICO l1fC pei OOAI lOA
eign seed is called adulteration. A
sample of sweet clover was sent into
the laboratory the other day which
contained Is different weed seeds
and four agricultural grains includ-
ing 81 per cent of alfalfa.
When seeds are tested for purity
they are divided into two groups,
clean seed and impurities" The
latter includes dirt, weed seed, and
agricultural seed not of the kind
named on the sample. These impu-
rites are then carefully examined by
means of microscopes and all for
eign seeds taken out and identified.
The same amount of care is taken if
the sample is good or bad. Even an
inexperienced eye can tell that some
of the seed is badly mixed. If an I'M
familiar foreign seed is found it is
Immediately taken to the herbarium
and by comparison identified if pos
sible.
Next seeds are tested for germina-
ton. Two tests are made for each
sample. Different methods are used
for the different sizes of seeds. In
each case there are always 200 seeds
C6SI0Q anu SupplSIuOAIdly IOoIo diO
made if necessary.
Put Into a Rag Doll
The rag doll" method is used for
large seeds as corn, melons, beans,
etc. In this case the seeds are care
fully placed on a strip of cotton flan-
mel IL inches wide, and the edges
folded over. 1t is then rolled up,
fastened with a self adjusting band
and placed in a generator.
1t takes only a ew days for the
seeds to terminate, and it is well
worth the planters time to send
these seeds in to be tested before
planting them. Since the service is
free, no one should hesitate to make
use of this opportunity. Samples
should be sent addressed to The Seed
Laboratory, Montana State Agricul-
tural college, Bozeman, Mont.

ENDS TEN YEAR FIGHT
FOR OIL LEASING BILL

The enactment of the oil land leas.
ing bill, which is of interest to Mon
tanans where the formation indicates
oil possibilities, was completed sew
eral days ago in Washington by the
adoption of the conference report by
the senate. The bill now goes to the
president, and, on his signature, be-
comes a law.
The senate's action terminated a
10 years fight. The bill provides
for the leasing and development OF
government-owned oil, coal, gas,
phosphate, sodium and oil shale land
by private enterprise and affects ap-
proximately 75,0OO,000 acres of pub
lie domain, principally in western
states.

March first is the date set for the
conference of state highway commits
sion officials with contractors and
county officials, plans for which have
been under way for several months.
In addition to the conference ar
ranged for March 1, there will also
be held the first road school ever
held in the state on March 8, 8, and
10. Both of the meetings, however,
are innovations in highway construc-
ton work in the state. They are be-
ing held to bring about standardized
methods of construction and to bring
contractors, county commissioners
and engineers to an understanding
as to the specifications of all work
for the commission.
The program for the road school
has not yet been completed, but it
is understood it will include the spe-
c~ifications and methods for road
building adopted by the federal gov
eminent, which will be presented by
Mr.. Keene of the federal bureau of
public roads at Missoula. 1t will
also include the specifications for
roads and the methods adopted by
Lne SCdt0 highway OoAA1ooAoh
1920 program will be taken up also
in order that all may have as COM
pIete an understanding as possible
about the work. Representatives of
the engineering department of the
state college at Bozeman will be
present at the school.
1t is the first time that any meet
ing of the kind has ever been at
tempted in Montana. 1--WE are glad
to learn that many contractors will
attend the meetings to be held for
them" said John Edy, chief engineer
for the highway commission. Great

Fort Benton, Neihart, Virginia City
and White Sulphur Springs were
other places in the state which listed
a smaller number Of residents in
1910 than in 1900, although in none
of these places was the percentage
of loss as great as in Great Falls.
Butte, on the contrary, has shown
a steady increase from the census of
1880, when 1858 is given as the
number of residents, to the present
time. In 1890 Butte ranked as the
second city in the state, being ac-
credited with 1923 inhabitants at
that time. The next enumeration
showed Butte far in the lead numer-
ically, the records showing a popula-
ton of 30,470, which was officially
increased to 39,165 in 1910.

AUTO|MOBU|MM|NC |S THIS MAYS ONLY
 CHRONIC AILMENT

Automobumming is virulent infec ton that fastens- itself upon the un- suspecting motorist which according to scientists leads to chronic ailment for which no cure has been found up to the present time. The progress Of this disease is marked by an ever growing tendency on the part of the motorist to "keep moving and many of our leading citizens have fallen vic tim to this aggravating form of wan derlust which threatents to disrupt an entire nation.
 Arriving in Phoenix last week. G. c. Cruzan, formerly of Pittsburg, Pa, but late of the United States of America, was observed driving through the streets in a Liberty Six. which showed signs of having travelled some dis tance. Finally MT. Cruzan rolled up to the doors of Julian Holmes, local dis tributor for the Liberty cars and upon dismounting, informed Mir Holmes that he was the latest human specimen to arrive in Phoenix laden with the ''au- tomobumming" germ.
 Having just covered 1000 miles on circuitous trip of the United States in his Liberty Six, MT. Cruzans prog ress was arrested by the sight of the local Liberty dealers showroom and he stopped off long enough to get ac- quainted with MT. Holmes and con graduate him upon being the repre- sentative of the car which he is driving.
 MT. Cruzan is an enthusiastic mo- torist and is driving around the coun try, just to have a good time" as he expressed it. Up to date Mr. Cruzan said that he had experienced no trou- ble on his 1000 mile trip other than two punctures. He said that he only used one-half gallon of water in his radiator on the trip from Pasadena California to Phoenix and so little oil that it was not noticeable. averaging about 19 miles to the gallon of gas.
 Mir. Cruzan has owned and driven 1 five different makes of automobiles or similar tours, all in the higher price class than the Liberty However, he thinks more of his Liberty than any car he has ever driven.

FORMER DENVER RAGE TRACK IS NOW CAMP SITE

More than 5000 tourists from yirtu ally every state in the union, with out fits ranging from "flivver" and pup tent to high priced limousine, with electrically lighted tent large enough to accommodate ten people, have camped so far this season in Overland park. Denver,s free camping ground for tourists.
 In a single day nearly 400 new tents were pitched, the average arrivals fof the season being about 15o a day. Somf of the tourists remain for two or thres weeks, taking short automobile trip out of Denver, while others pitch tetA at the end of the day, stay overnight and in the morning leave before day light for the west coast Or for some other distant camping ground.
 The park consists of so acres or wooded land on the outskirts of the city. It formerly was racing park and the old stables. are now used as a garage and the track, where the best horses of the western states used to thrill hundreds of deyotees of the sport of kings, is now used as tuning ground for cars which have suffered from long trips over bad roads.

h, ,ntful touring states in the country. There are hundreds of miles Of wide ceme roads in the state. said MT. Steinke, and many more are under contract for early construction.
 ''The demand for good roads has never been greater than at the present time throughout the Middle and North western states" he added. The farm CTS granges are taking a live interest in the matter and every state in those sections has adopted an ambitious road-building program. Considerable repairing is in progress and some new construction, but in the majority Of cases new road work has been delayed due to the high cost of labor and ma terials and the lack of railroad trans portation.'
 The travellers left New York on their return trip. going by way of Philadel phia, Washington, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Omaha and Den yer. They are due in Denver on August 25, where they will join, as the repre- sentatives of the Automobile Club of Southern California, the National Park to Park Highway tour, under the auspices of Stephen T. Mather, director of national parks. The tour will em- brace a circuit of 4,500 miles and it's object is to map out a connecting road route around the big national parks There are many sections, in order to complete the circuit to make the parks more accessible to the public, that Will call for new construction and It is the intention to ask congress to grant proper. appropriations for this purpose as we'll as improving many of the en- trance routes to the parks. A path finding trip under the auspices of the American Automobile Association started two months ago and the final report will be based upon the official tour which will follow the route of the preliminary nun. It will be the long est automobile tour ever conducted m this country partially under govern ment auspices, and it is expected to exert wide influence in stimulating additional activity in road building in the Far West.
 The worst stretch of road which the Californians found in their run east ward was between Detroit and Toledo, about sixty miles but that will not af- | feet continental travellers. as 1t is not necessary to go to Detroit, continuing
 due west on the main Highway through south Bend to Chicago. Due to the un- i precedented number of automobiles driven from the factories at Detroit and heavy truck transportation, aDous twenty miles of the cement road bef8e reaching Toledo are horribly cut up some of the holesnbeing from one to two feet in depth, and a speed better than ten miles an hour is practically lmpos- sible The main route from Toledo through Cleveland to Buffalo is in the main very good.
 The Californians stated that among the pleasant scenes on their route were scores of motor campers, an fllustra ton of the recreationaJ joys of motor ing In many places the municipan- ties have set apart public camping sites for motorists, and it IS no uncom- mon thing to see a score or more ot motor parties parked there for the night.
