SOIL CHANGING
MANY NEW FORMS OF PLANT
LIFE FOLLOW ADVENT OF
AGRICULTURIST
Leaves From Trees Form Mulch
Which Enriches the Soil and Makes
1t More Fertile; Many New VAR
ieties of Weeds that Have Come
into Being Recently.

Montana's soil is gradually under
going a beneficial change, in the opin-
ion of old-timers who have had OPP
portunity to observe the prairies of
the state for a score of years or more.
Weeds of various kinds and sweet
clover and alfalfa are said to be the
retaining agencies.
Wherever trees have an opportun-
ity to get a start and pass through
one or more periods where the leaves
fall, a mulch is formed that not only
enriches the earth for some distance
around the trees, but at the same
time conserves moisture in a like
This condition gives new life
the tree and becomes an endless
chain of fertilization and moisture
conservation.
Old-timers assert that the same
process is gradually taking place on
Montana prairies. They insist that a
few years ago many Of the weeds and
feed plants now in evidence, includ-
wild sunflower, Russian thistle,
cookie burr, sweet clover, alfalfa and
other plants that have followed set
and cultivation, were practi-
cally unknown. When the native
grass once cured there was nothing
out a coat of brown on the face of
he prairies, whereas today there is
4 decided t1nge of green made by the
lbove named plants that have not yet

ITO develop an oasis in a desert of

forts of a city home, and this from
40 to so miles from a railroad, is
worth passing interest," says H. B.

a few days g from a trip over the

and he is enthusiastic over the eff

have met with real success in such
a venture.

out, he said in speaking of the trip,
reached Jordan and then travelled
down to Cohagen, and IL miles west
of this place we came to the ranch.
The hills are bare and devoid of
trees or verdure, and there is but
little water. When we finally reach

Little Dry we were not prepared for
the sight which greeted us.
Thomas McRae owns the first

trees for a w~indbreak, has a bearing

s'Mr. McRae went there IL years

While eight out of II counties re-
ported slight precipitation, a good
rain is needed in all of the counties
reporting for the week ending Sept.
3, to the department of agriculture,
labor and industry. Livestock in ex-
cellent condition. Growing crops in
irrigated districts in good shape and
potato crop generally good. Sugar
beets are doing we'll, and second crop
of alfalfa is being completed. Sum-
married., the reports by counties are
as follows:
Observation-Disclosures dry. Soil too
dry for blowing. Wheat yields with
so per cent threshing completed,
average 5 to 10 bushels on dry land
and II to IS bushels on irrigated
land. Oats and other small grains
yielding lower than expected, due
to hot dry weather at filling time.
Corn will not ear we'll on dry land
but it is very good on irrigated farms.
Sugar beet crop about average. Live
stock in fairly good condition.
Dawson-Threshing in full blast.
Yields ranging from 8 to 80 bushels.
South end of the county will average
10 to IL bushels; north half will
yield from 16 to Is bushels.
Custer - Weather dry. General
growing conditions very poor. Land
too dry; no small grain has been
planted. Livestock is being market
ed gradually at far toe low prices.
Fallon-Light local showers latter
part of week. Extremely hot fore
part. Threshing reports from differ
ent parts of the county show average
yields of 6 to 9 bushels. Corn in
excellent condition.
Yellowstone=A few local showers
fell. Fall wheat seeding has begun
but the land is too dry for germina-
ton. Acreage will probably be about
so per cent of last year. Beets are
doing well. Livestock in good con-
dition though the range is very
nearly dried up.
Big HoPn-Weather very hot and
dry with a few local showers. A large
share of the threshing is completed.
Due to lack of moisture, no winter
wheat is being planted.
Stillwater-Weather warm and dry
first part of week; few local showers
latter part. Wheat on dry land aver
aging 10 to Is bushels; on irrigation,
25 to 80. Some wheat seeding, where
local showers have fallen, is up and
looking good. Potato crop fair. Sugar
beets good. Second cutting alfalfa
all harvested.

100000 TONS HAY
STATES SURPLUS
OUTSIDE MARKET is NECESSARY
FOR AN OUTLET SAYS
STATISTICIAN
Data Compiled by f. w. Beier, Sta
tistician Representing U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, Shows
Montana Will Have O,OOO Tons
Hay in Excess of Home Needs.

An outside market sufficient to
consume 100000 IONS of hay will be
necessary this fall and winter to pro-
vide an outlet for Montana's hay sur
plus, in the opinion of F. w. Beier,
of the federal department of agricul-
ture. From data gathered by his de-
partment, he stated that half a mil
lion tons very accurately represents
the hay Montana will have in excess
of her requirements.
BEERS figures show that 2,000,-
600 tons of hay were harvested in the
state this year and that 100000 tons
were carried over from last year. The
total hay crop harvested in the Uni
ted States this year is 100000
tons, he stated, a reduction of H.
100000 tons, as compared with 1920
and 100000 tons below the five
year average. The loss this year is
partially compensated for by the ex-
cess tonnage carried over from 1920
by the hay raising states.
Atlantic Coast Short
"The big shortage this year is in
New York, Pennsylvania and the
New England states" said Beier.
wisconsin has a shortage, too, and
the Michigan and South Dakota crops
are below normal. Any promise of
a better market for Montana as a
result of these shortages is found in
the fact that the extreme east has
always depended on the middle west
for its hay supply. The extra demand
in the east can easily raise middle
west prices until Montana can find
an outlet in that direction. There is
little hope for a market to the west
as Washington state has a larger hay
crop than last year"
Greater Freight Cut Wanted
The Great Falls Commercial club
has been notified by Great Northern
traffic officials that a hay rate of
53h cents will be in effect from
Great Falls to the Twin Cities and
Duluth after September 20. The
rate will be reduced to this figure
from 80 cents, but it is not consider
ed that the cut will be sufficient to
place Montana hay on the eastern
markets on a competitive basis. The
club is now completing plans looking
to an application for a further reduc-
ton and it is intended to interest all
hay growing sections of the state in
the moye. Last year a ate of 421b
cents was in effect to Duluth and
the Twin Cities from Great Falls and
an effort will be made to have this
restored. The present reduction gives
a flat so cent rate from Milk river
points.
Mr.. Beier is associated with the
bureau of markets and crop estimates
and is Immediately connected with
the division of crop estimates with of
fices in the state capitol. He is now
gathering reports on crop conditions
for use in the governments monthly
crop bulletins.

In June when the German advance
began to threaten Paris, the Ameri-

themselves into the fray along the
west face of the Marine salient and
the 42nd to the east of st. Quinton.
There were hundreds of Montana
men with these units and scores of
them fell in the desperate fighting
that followed. On July Is, when the
Bird machine gun battalion blocked
the Paris road at Chateau-Thierry a
large number of the old Second Mon
tana machine gun company was with
them and here two Montana men
were decorated for bravery. When
the 32nd division went into the drive
of July Goth and through five days
of terrific fighting pressed the Huns
back from the Ourcq river to the

other division and the newspaper &C

also with the 4th and 26th divisions

BY applying straw to wheat as a
top dressing, winter killing is reduc-
ed, probably in the following ways:
The straw catches and holds snow,
prevents soil blowing to some extent,
and reduces the losses from freezing

uproots the plants. Straw a be ap-
