CLOD SURFACE ON
DRY LAND FIELDS
..HIGH LINE RANChER CLAIMS
THAT THIS METHOD Is FIN.
ANCIAL SALVATION
Use the Disc and Then PlOw, He
Urges; Turn Mulch Dust Down and
Leave Clods on Surface to Hold the
Moisture and Prevent Wind Blow.
ing Seed Out Of the Ground.

The financial salvation of the far
mers of Montana will be found in the
"clod surface" system Of dry land
farming. according to W. NJ. Rob-
bins Of Kremlin. Mont.
Use the disc ana then pillow. says
Robbins. Turn your dust mulch
down. Put your clods on the sur
face. That will prevent the land
blowing away. 1t will hold the mois-
ture in the dust mulch layer and
prevent the land from baking.
Il have been a dry land farmer in
Washington and Oregon for 80 years
and have seen land in the Big Bend
of the Columbia and in eastern Ore
gon. where dry farming is the only
possible method Of raising cereals,
increase from almost nothing to more
than $500 an acre.
I'm the little more than a year
that have been at Kremlin I have
preached this clod surface method
and it has been used by sufficient
number of my neighbors to prove its
advantage over the usual method.
The man who uses the old way and
discs after he plows, gets his dust
mulch at the surface where the sun
draws the moisture out. and he gets
a surface root. The man who turns
his dust mulch under has the clods
to protect his moisture from evapOra-
ton and his land from blowing away
and gets tap root. The clods also
catch the snow during the winter.
This system is, believe. the only
salvation for farmers along the high
line In some of the towns near
where I live some of the banks have
been converted and are now giving
credit to farmers who summer fallow
and then disc before they pillow. The
yield of grain of those who have
done this has been unoformly great
er than that of those who used the
old method, which is the last word
in the way OF evidence of its advan-
tage.'

In the state and county govern
ment of Montana there are five diff
ferent fiscal years.
In an effort to do away with al OF
them and have all conform to the
federal fiscal year, beginning July
l and ending on June 80, the next
Legislature will receive recommends
lions not only from r. ]. Lemert.
the state budget. but also from var
ious county officials and from the
state efficiency commission.
The state efficiency commission,
which investigated all boards, bu-
reaus and departments on instruction
of the last legislature. spoke Of the
need Of a uniform fiscal year as fol-
lows:
I'VE find several different fiscal
years in use in the keeping Of state
records and publishing of state re-
ports. For example appropriations
are made for year ending February
%; while reports of state officers to
the legislature cover q year ending
November 80. The University of
Montana and other departments deal
ing with the federal government
must make reports covering a year
ending June 80. Certain records of
the secretary of state are kept on
the basis Of the calendar year. Much
confusion will be prevented II one
fiscal year is adopted for all state
purposes"
County Officers Plant
The county officers point out that
80, which makes 1t difficult, as tax
money is coming in then and reports
are made out with difficulty. The
county officers want their fiscal
years to end at the same time as that
of the federal government. Under
this proposed law the county officials
will also submit reports by July 10.
"At present we have much incon-
venience in getting proper and up
to the minute reports for the federal
government and for the legislature.
The legislature will also be able to
finance the state for two years ahead
without being at the end of the pc
Rod for which appropriations are
made along with the end of the SEES
sion. Under the present law the leg
islature is unable to get accurate
data for complete year that is not
10 months DID," Mr.. Lemert said.
The five different fiscal years are J:
State officers reports, November
80.
State university reports. June 80.
Appropriation period February %.
Secretary of state reports, Dec. 81.
Fish and game department. April
80.

Loco weeds contain an acid.

Loco weeds contain an acid.
When sufficient amounts of this
acid are obtained laboratory tests
will be made on guinea pigs and
white rats to determine if this is the
substance which drives horses and
cattle insane. according to DR.. Emil
Starr. chemist for the livestock sani-
tary board. DR.. STARE determined
that the weed contains an acid after
experiments which started last June
were completed. He is now engaged
in securing large quantity OF the
acid.
In his biennial report on this re-
search. DR.. Starr said:
Concerning the loco problem. 1t
was demonstrated BY many expert
ments that the loco weed does not
contain an alkaloidal active principle
The question then arose, what sub
stance other than an alkaloid. detri-
mental in its physiological effects to
the animal system. is contained in
the loco weed?
''In the earlier Investigations the
chemist obtained a volatile oily sub
stance. which, upon standing for a
time. became crystalline. This SUBJ
stance was at that time recovered by
dfstillation of the watery extracts Of
loco. and shaken out Of the distillate
with ether. Upon evaporation of the
ether the above substance was left
It was assumed at the time the sub
stance to be an anhydride of an or
ganic volatile acid. Later on the
acid itself was isolated. but owing to
the very small amount contained in
the loco. the trying out Of its physio-
logical action upon animals had to
be postponed until sufficient OF the
acid could be obtained to make the
necessary tests. The chemist is now
engaged in making larger quanti-
ties of the loco acid for laboratory en-
periments.

The Montana Livestock Sanitary
board will make eight recommends
tions to the legislature. according to
the biennial report of the board. The
report includes the biennial reports
of DR.. w. J. Butler. state veterinary
surgeon, and of the chemist, bacte-
biologist and pathologist of the board
and orders of the sanitary board in
the last two years. It shows that dur
ing the last two years deputy state
veterinary surgeons inspected and ex-
amined 2.4l5.222 head of livestock
and travelled 364,274 miles.
The legislative recommendations
of the livestock sanitary board, SUBJ
mitted to the legislature, are:
l. Standardization of milk ac-
cording to its bacterial count and
establishment of city. county or state
Capitalization plants where milk
shall be examined by an official bac-
teriologist and shall be pasteurized
If it does not pass the test satisfac-
torily.
2. A statute requiring pasteuriz-
ing of all skinned milk or separa-
tor slop from receiving stations.
8. A statute requiring cleaning
and disinfecting of stock cars.
! 4. A statute requiring the pro-
per disposal of all dead animals.
5. A statute providing more uni
form methods for inspecting and tu-
berculin testing dairy herds.
s. Legislation governing import
ations of sheep, which will not be
held to interfere with interstate CON-
merce, but which will continue to
safeguard sheep interests of Mon
tana.
Z. A statute prohibiting running
at large of scrub stations over two
years old.
8. A statute designating the qua
lily of hay which may be shipped In
to Montana.
