FIVE YEARS DRY LAND
FARMING WITHOUT
A FAILURE
BY W. E. ADAMS, Ringing.

Five years of dry land farm
ing with a crop failure, even in
the year 1919, the year of the
great drought. That year I
raised 10 bushels of Turkey
Red wheat per acre on summer
fallowed land, 20 bushels per
acre of Swedish Select oats on
summer fallowed land, and Is
bushels per acre of barley on
spring blowing. The barley
and spring wheat sowed on
disced land was not worth the
threshing SO I cut it for hay.
This year, 1921, I raised
Turkey Red wheat that aver
aged in one field Al bushels
per acre, in the second field 81
bushels per acre, all on summer
fallowed land. Marquis wheat
that was disced in on my very
best land only averaged II bu-
shells per acre. Swedish Select
oats on summer fallowed land
averaged rs bushels per acre;
on disced land 81 u bushels per
acre. Sixty Day oats on sum-
mer fallowed land averaged SIS
bushels per acre. Barley on
summer fal1owed land averag-
ed II bushels per acre.
I raised this year a total of
1870 bushels of grain OH 112
acres of land of which 26 acres
were disced in. I did my own
work with four head of horses.
During harvest I hired one
man for ten days to shock the
grain while I cut it.
I had no previous experience
in farming when l bought my
land, which is located at the
head of Potter Basin, six miles
south of Ringing, Montana.
My experience proves to me
that dry land farming can be
made a success.

The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany will spend $12,000,000 this
year in additions and betterments to
it's properties and the purchase of
new equipment, according to al an
nouncement made at St. Paul last
week by officials of the road. OF the
sum to be expended, $4,000, 900 will
be used in laying new and heavier
rails and the reducing of grades and
curves, building new bridges and
side tracks and rebuilding and re-
modelling old stations, freight sheds
and other service buildings. The
remainder will be expended for 500
new refrigerator cars and in rebuild
ing 81 passenger coaches now in SER

(From the Official Bulletin of the
Montana Development Association)

The summer tillage club plan
doesn't presume that in the inter
ests of summer tillage on 10000
farms in Montana next year the
question of spring planting of this
years crop will be minimized. The
attitude of certain Conscientious OBJ
jectors who infer that the Develop
ment Associations program asks
Montana farmers not to plant crops
this spring is misleading.
The plan of spring effort, as out
lined at the Development Associa-
tons meetings, where Hardy w.
Campbell appeared in advocacy of
the plan is this: At first opening of
spring work a farmer contemplat-
ing the planting of spring crops
and summer tilling a portion of his
land would proceed by first discing
all the land which is to be either
cropped or summer titled. Early
discing puts the surface soil in con
dition to absorb spring rains rapid
ly. 1t makes it possible also to do
a better job of spring blowing and
packing.

Fight for Scent Passenger Fare

Reductions in passenger fares to
three cents a mile and further sub
stantial reductions in freight rates
all over the country are expected as
the result of the movement for lower
rates being made by 29 western
and southern states.
The state commissioners argu-
ment is that reduced rates will act
ually increase railroad profits by
stimulating traffic and that they will
do great things toward reyiving trade
and improving general business con-
ditiOnS.

Many Advantages

Where spring wheat is planted,
all the advantages of better labor
distribution are secured, together
with the very important advantages
of moisture storage and accumu-
lated fertility, as the result Of the
summer tilling. 1t means that win
ter wheat can be put into land in
proper condition in the latter part
of August, or early September that
even in the dryest years (where the
operation has been carried out cor

Spring Tilling

Farmers planning summer tillage
would proceed with spring planting
in the same manner as they would
proceed with land they were ex-
.pecting to summer till. The pillow
would be followed each day by the
subsurface packer, or the tandem
disc, set nearly straight. This OPP
Grafton firms the seed bed, COM
pacing the lower portion of the
furrow slice. The packing opera
ton is then followed up by the har-
row, or otherwise cultivating the
surface to a depth of 2 or 2 IL
inches. If possible, and if weather
conditions permit, a short interval
is allowed to elapse after this oper-
alton before the seed is put in the
ground. If this period of time per-
mits the start of weed growth, Gull
tivation to a shallow depth should
Immediately precede planting, thus
destroying early weed growth and
giving the newly planted grain an
opportunity to reach the surface at
least on an equality with the re
naming weeds. This process Mr..
Campbell describes as "spring fit
ting" He would declare it to be
unwise to plant more land to spring
crops than can be carefully pre-
pared and properly sowed.
When spring planting has been
thus disposed of the farmer will
proceed to pillow the land which he
expects to summer till. The value
of early discing will then be appar-
emf for by this process a mulch has
been established on the surface and
the moist condition of the soil will
be maintained much longer than if
the discing operation had been neg
lected. By following this system.
blowing for summer tilling (Which
should never be done when the soil
is dry) may be extended, in manv
cases, a month longer than would
have been possible had not the
spring discing operation been at
tended to.

That there is a countrywide
shortage of wool at this time, and
consequently prices to the produ-
GERS will be high this year, was
indicated in a statement issued by
the Montana Wool Growers asso-
citation through Secretary H. H.
Pigott.
GROWERS IN NO HURRY
"Wool growers and bankers re-
port offers for Montana woods on
the sleeps back of 80 to IS cents
a pound, and Nevada woods and
Utah woods are selling for 80 cents
at this time," said the statement.
Photographic dispatches report
the Jericho, Utah, pool rejected
four bids for their 1922 wool, the
highest being SO 1-8 cents, and is
holding for 40 cents with no tag
discount.
"The prospective price for 1922
wool is extremely strong. Growers
are hesitating to accept present of
fers, as the contracting of wool be-
fore shearing is looked upon with
disfavor."
LETTER TO BANKERS
The appended self-explanatory
communication has been sent to all
bankers of Montana by the Mon
tana Wool Acceptance company,
with headquarters in Helena:
