FOREST
AND help STATE
PRESIDENT AND GOVERNOR DIES
IGNATE THIS AS FOREST
PROTECTION WEEK
BY w. B. Willy

President Harding has issued {
proclamation designating this weel
as National Forest Protection Weel
and Governor Dixon, alive to the ur
gent necessity of conserving an(
perpetuating forest resources has co
operated in the observance of thi!
forest protection week by designating
the week beginning May 20 for thi!
purpose, and requesting that all fed
eral. state and private agencies dis
seminate information to the people
on the subject of forest fires anC
their prevention.
The prosperity of the state of Mon
tana depends more largely upon per
petuation of its timber resources thar
is commonly understood. Can oae
imagine Montana without its annual
supply of timber, not only for its
large lumber manufactures, but fol
the individual home builder as we'll
without its immense tracts Of public
grazing grounds in National forests
which provide grazing for nearly one
million sheep and over 100000 head
Of cattle and horses annually. Take
away Montana's source of water sup
ply which turns the wheels of in
dustry and converts arid lands into
prosperous tracts and the states
population would decrease.
The forests throughout the nation
are being rapidly destroyed and it is
an official record that but two-fifths
of the original stand of timber re-
mains. The one great factor in caus-
ing this loss is fire. Montana's past
history is in no wise contrary to this.
In one year alone-1919-timb re-
sources valued at $1.559.S22 were
destroyed by forest fires. For this
year there are on record 1853 fires,
of which 81 per cent or 945 fires
are known to be man-caused and
therefore preventable. These man.
caused fires are the result of care
lessness, righteousness or ignorance
and all are violations of state laws.
These fires represent loss than can
be eliminated IL every citizen would
acqaint himself in few fundamental
principles in forest fire protection,
and take an active interest in pre-
venting this appalling waste.
This enormous number of man
caused fires must be reduced If the
citizens of Montana wish to keep
intact for posterity their unequaled
recreational grounds and those grow
ing industries dependent upon the
forests.
Montana's national forests embrace
Is million acres, 81 billion feet of
timber valued at approximately s74,-
100000. Privately owned timber
lands comprise % million acres with
approximately 21 billion feet of tim
Der. This timber is being marketed
as regularly as conditions warrant.
LAUNDERING is the third industry
in the state. It represents an invest.
ment Of $78,000,000, furnishes EN-.
ployment or supports 10000 people,
who consume annually s35, 900
worth of state grown products.

1900 SPANISH WAR VETS
EXPECTED AT REUNION

Fred w. Wheaton Camp, United
Spanish War Veterans, Of Kalispell,
Is making extensive arrangements
for the entertainment of the Spanish
War Veterans at their state encamp-
ment to be held at Kalispell on June
%. "a and IS. The railroads have
made special reduced rate on the
certificate plan, from all points in
Montana.
Among other features for the en-
campment, they propose having roll
call by Captain Sam Hilburn of all
Of the members Of old H company OF
the First Montana regiment that
went to the Philippines In 1898.
Also they propose giving their visit
tors a moonlight excursion on Flat
head lake. They expect to have
about 1900 in attendance at the en-
campment. As the date Of the meet
ing is after school expires, no doubt
many will drive over to Kalispell in
their cars and take their tents along
and have real outing in the beau
tiful Flathead.

THINGS TO Be DONE ON FARM
DURING MONTH OF May

produce excellent growth in youne
lambs: Wheat bran, IS lbs; oats
crushed or whole, Is lbs: corn meal
20 lbs: oilmeal, 10 lbs.
Plant Strawbeiries-If you have
not planted that strawberry patch
May is the time to do so. Practically
all farmers like to eat Strawberries
A farmers wife has never been
known to refuse to eat them. Chill
dren fed a liberal allowance OF
strawberries are more healthy and
make a better growth than those de-
prived Of this good food. They
should be home grown. A hundred
plants Of the everbearing kind will
make a good start and some berries
can be picked in August and Septem-
Der.
Sucking Pigs-Suckling pigs be-
gin to eat grain when they are three
or four weeks old. and some provi-
sion should be made for feeding
them. The careful hogman does not
expect them to obtain this feed from
the same trough in which the old
SOW is fed. Such a practice is unde-
sirable because it does not insure
that every pig will have chance
at the trough and furthermore there
is always the danger of injury to the
young pigs while crowding among
a bunch Of old sows while eating. 1t
is an easy matter to partition off a
portion of a pen or of the feed lot
to which the youngsters only will
have access. They will soon find the
place and If feed is provided regular
ly they will make good use of it.

killing weeds in the corn fields IL
the month of May will save more
water for the use OF the crop late1
than any other single operation tina,
can be performed. Use light har
row and drag the corn as soon as i,
is planted and a time or two aftel
it is up. The young weeds have not
had a chance to establish themselves
in the soil and are limited to the
surface inch of loose material. A
harrow tooth is a deadly enemy to q
young weed but it will not do its best
work unless it Is given an Opportun'
ity to operate behind good farm
team. Weeds are the worst enemies
on farms. Kill them while they are
little and save time and money.
How to Feed Pigs-A good lie.
gume or rape pasture with self
feeder and automatic hog waterer
makes for economic hog production
and saves much time for the farmer
who is working overtime, to say the
least. at this season of the year.
Preserve Eggs-During April and
May egg production usually reaches
the maximum and as consequence
the market price drops to the lowest
levels. The economical housewife
takes advantage of this fact and lays
by her store Of winter eggs. for eggs
preserved at this season are not
only cheaper but keep better than
those put down later. Water glass
has been found to be the most salts
factory preservative in general. One
quart stirred into nine quarts OF
boiled cooled water will cover Is
dozen eggs when packed in five
gallon jar. To secure best results
eggs should be clean. strictly fresh
and infertile. Stale eggs will float
when placed in the solution. TIE
eggs should be covered by two inches
Of the solution and as the water eva
porates more should be added. All
the eggs may be put in at once or
added as they are obtained. The
crock should be put in cool dry
place and kept covered to reduce the
evaporation.
Order Repairs-If the repairs for
the mower and binder have not been
ordered yet it is time to do it. If the
canvasses need buckle or strap 1t
wouldn't be a bad idea to get the
leather on the next trip to town.
There may not be as many rainy
days for this work as last year. The
binder should carry few extra links
of chain of each size, a good variety
Of bolts, cotter keys, rivets, etc., as
we'll as a few pieces of wire for emer-
gencies and good set Of tools. The
policy Of meeting trouble before it
comes will apply profitably at har-
vest time.
Keep Farm Record - Farmers
should not forget their farm business
records during these busy days. 1t
takes only a few minutes time and
the information will be of value.
Most farms can be made more profit
able by careful study of the financial
records.
Young Lambs-A little grain fed
to lambs at this time Of the year re-
turns big dividends in the form Of
increased growth. Young lambs will
soon find a feed trough through a
lamb creep. The following mixture
provides the nutriments which will

PIGS PASTURES AND PROFITS

lBy Jim c. Ferguson, Commissioner of Agriculture
 Nature gave the pig a snout and taught him how to use it, but at the how graze, and judging from the picture of contentment G herd of pigs make when feeding on d luXE"ant grow tn of alfalfa or grass, the swine rais- CTS know that pigs never grow so fast as when they have the lbery of pas tnre where there sa variety of ten der herbs and grasses. The first re- ousite of a profitable hog farm is good pasture and unless one has such il is better not to engage in hog rais- ing because the venture is doomed to fail from the start
 A good hog pasture is not beyond the bounds of possibility of any land own CT in Arkansas. Here there is scarce lv any land that does not produce some of the valuable pasture plants which thrive in this climate. Even the hlll- sides in some sections support a lux riaht growth of grasse and wild le- gumes whcih make splendid grazing not only for hogs but other kinds or livestock as we'll On the so called worn out" land which has been i'll cultivation for many years and appar- ently depleted of it's fertility, lespedeza and other pasture crops spring up fer the land is left idle for two or three years.
