A LAND POLICY FOR MONTANA

A suggestion has come from several
sources that the Montana Develop
ment association interest itself in en-
%couraging a land policy for the state
of Montana and that it undertake the
work of informing its members and
the general public of the many ad-
vantages which would accrue to the
state were a constructive land policy
to be inaugurated.
Those at the general offices are
now studying the California land pol

has accomplished a great deal and
promises much for the future. CAN,
fornia's problem differs from h a OF
Montana in details, but the land policy
which has been adopted by the state
is thought to be applicable to Montana
in a general way as, in many respects,
the problems of the two states are
similar.
What a Land Policy Entails
The problem of getting the right
people on the right kind of land, OF
making sure that the immigrant will
become an asset to the state rather
than a liability-that is the most i'm.
portant of the problems which a land
policy should solve.
Today, it's nobody's business, par.
ticularly, what sort of land the new,
conner settles upon; it's nobody's bust:
ness to try to bring the right kind OF
immigration to the state; it's nobody's
business how the settler gets along
after he has acquired and financed
himself to put in a crop. All of these
things should be somebody's business
In January of this year, B. H. Hib
bard, professor of agricultural econo
mics of the University of Wisconsin
speaking before the Montana Farm
Bureau presidents at Bozeman the i'm
portance of a land policy for Montana
and declared that the right kind of
land policy would prove a most i'm
portant factor in the agricultural de
velopment of the state.
This question will be one which will
be considered by the association
board Of directors at their next meet
ing, at which time it is probable tina
some definite action will be taken.

instead of soil moisture, is the weak
link and the limiting factor in crop pro-
duction, the blowing under of a green
manure would be highly beneficial and
would he reflected in increased Yields
the next season, we find that the re-
verse is generally true in the Great
Plains where as yet soil moisture is
all important. Until the weed growth
has become thoroughly rotted and in
corporated as humus in the soil, re-
duced yields will almost invariably be
noted.
The purpose of summer tillage und-
err our conditions is mainly to carry
over the moisture Of n season for
use in producing the next years crop.

attempt to stabalize the farm income
and make it less directly and immed-

ratio seasonal rainfall. Our good in
tentions along this line are not going
to be realized, if the weed problem is
not met.
In the past, emphasis has been un-
duly placed upon the benefits of a
dust mulch in moisture conservation
and many farmers have given their
corn and summer fallow fields cult
vatiOns with the maintenance of a dust
mulch uppermost in mind. Careful
investigation and a clearer under
standing of soil moisture movement
and losses under the average condi-
tions existing in the Great Plains, has
proven conclusively that entirely toe
much emphasis has been placed on the
value of the dust mulch and that
weeds are the prime dissipators of
soil moisture. 1t is therefore con-
tention that the main function of cul.
tivation with US is weed control. Ma.
turally our governing principle must

NOW is THE TIME TO
CARE FOR POULTRY
Culling.

Culling.
This is a good month to begin Gull
ing the flock. A number of poor
hens will have stopped laying by this
time and should be eliminated. When
ever the percentage egg production is
500 or better there is not much ne
cessity for culling, but for every 10
below so you can figure there are
two hens not laying. Example, if you
have 100 hens and get 40 eggs per day
there r approximately 20 hens not
laying.
BrOOdy Hens.
The easiest way to "break up" a
broody hen is to put her in a box
that has a Stat bottom ad hang the
box up so that it will swing. This
gives a good circulation Of air under
the hen. Be sure to give her plenty
of feed and water while in prison.
If she is taken from the nest the first
night she attempts to sit and put
into the slat bottom swinging prison,
she will be completely broken up in
