EARL COIN IS C0UNTY'S
BEST HUSKER OF CORN

Roosevelt county comes to the
front again when Earl Coin, County
Crop Project Leader, won second in
the Northern Montana Corn Husking
contest held during the 0 show
AS a premium for his ability he is to
receive fifteen pounds of Registered
Grimm Alfalfa inspected and sealed
by the Montana Seed Growers Asso-
citation. Mr.. Coin is already raising
two standard varieties of registered
seed and is one source of supply of
the large amount of pure seed that is
being grown by many farmers in this
part of the county. Through such
growers Roosevelt county has a good
81 ,ply of Victory Oats and Canadian
Marquis wheat which will, when
adopted by most farmers in the coun-
ty, increase both yield per acre and
the grade.

AN OPEN WINTER IS
PREDICTED BY SIGNS

All SIGNS point to an open winter
this wear. the old-timers and Indians
say.
The most dependable authority,
the beaver, has prepared for a mild
winter is the report Beavers build
winter quarters close to the edge OF
streams before an open winter. Be
fore a hard winter they build them
some distance away so that when the
spring floods come their homes will
not be destroyed.
The muskrats have not finished
their winter homes but have been
loafing all fall. The prairie dogs,
who, before a hard winter dig deep
holes and pile the earth high around
them, have not shown any indication
of getting to work. Migratory birds
are still seer in many parts OF the
state and fur bearing animals of all
kinds have lighter coats.
Not only animals, but frees and
plant life, furnish signs to the OBJ
servant. The trees and bushes this
fall lost their leaves early which is
a n indication of mild winter. The
Indian say "No berries, no snow"
and they point. to the husks of corn
which were exceptionally light this
year.

a of effort, but who, though earn
est in their efforts to produce, are not
familiar with the principles of soil
chemistry, food values and economics
and instead of inriching themselves
through better production with less
effort, are generally impovershing

chances for success.
"To compete successfully in the
world of business we must analyze
and secure to ourselves the informa-
ton necessary to the improvement
of our condition and enhancement
of our land vlaues.
"Our lands of low rainfall have
been looked upon and were unprofit-
able under the methods of cropping
employed. The waste, therefore,
needed elimination and a lower cost
of production made possible through
greater production per acre.
"The improvement upon summer
fallow methods has changed the sys-
tenn and as the chemists by the APP
plication of certain principles low
cred the cost of ore reduction and
made possible the utilization of low
grade ores. so too, have the Soil
chemists laid bare the secrets of the
of summer tillage whereby

sible and our lands less favored with
rainfall brought to profitable exploit

Summer fallow, as commonly

SUMMER FALLOW
SUMMER TILLACE
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AND
RESULTS DIFFER WIDELY
BETWEEN THE TWO

1t would be just as reasonable to say
that heat and liqht are one and the
same thing as to say that summer
tillage and summer fallow are sy-
nonymous. The November Bulletin
of the Montana Development Asso-
citation now on the press will describe
the difference between tillage and
summer fallow, so often confused,
in an interesting n The article
is a protest against confusion of the
two systems.
"The defects of a system of sum
mer fallow should not be visited upon
summer tillage," says the Bulletin.
"a part of a field may be summer
fallowed and part summer titled and
yet be very different in character
and will most ~assuredly result in
greatly different yields.
Summer fallow is a word that
has been handed down to US from
biblical times and means just what
the word implies, that of blowing the
land during the fore part of the sea-
son and allowing it to lie fallow
(idle) during the balance of the
year. Summer tillage not only con-
sists of blowing the land early, but
of subsequent cultivation to control
weed growth and induce release of
plant food by the maintenance of
soil conditions.
"Fallow land in truth lies idle
while summer titled land works
harder for the farmer, during the
e tilIage is maintained than it
loes in the year crop is produced.
"It may be likened to the situa-
ion that might arise at a Christmas
eunion where the hostesses had

bv the guests such fertility and

Likewise, the food for growing

"The human body is provided with

of the fertility therein contained.
The plant, being infinitely less blessed,

ed. but in sufficient quantities to as

that parallel with the GUESTS, the

ARRANGE PROGRAM
FARM BUREAU MEET
AT POPLAR, DECEMBER 10 AND
2o-MANY SPEAKERS WILL
BE IN ATTENDANCE

The program for the annual meet
ing of the Roosevelt County Farm
Bureau to be held at Poplar, Deem
Der 10th and goth, will be built
around NJ. L. Wilson, Economist and
Farm Management Demonstration for
the State of Montana; A. j. Ogaard,
Crop Specialist and I. B.. O'Donnell,
a practical farmer from Billings, To-
Gated in the Yellowstone Valley.
Mr.. Wilson is a student of econo-
mic conditions and hopes to demon
~strate, during the annual meeting to
the farmers about what will have to
be expected in the world marketing
conditions, how the European market
affects the American market by the
consumption of our surplus, demon
strate and illustrate by pictures of
farmers located in the dry land sec
ton of the State of Montana show
ing how they have made a good in
come during our bad periods by in
creased production a5d decreasing
the cost iof production and going
deeply into the business end of farm
ing.
Mr.. Wilson has been receiving
great response from farmers where
he has been holding such schools and
giving such talks and a clearer under
standing of things that we most ex-
pect is plainly brought about by
results of Mr.. Wilson's Investigations.
Mr.. Ogaard's chief line is crop
Standardization, soil moisture and in
creased production and its ~relatioi
to successful farming. 1t is the on
sensus of opinion that with an in
creased supply of standard varieties
of seed that a crop standardization
campaign will be put on In this
county and all farmers who possibly
can should try to take advantage of
the opportunity of hearing Mr..
Ogaard.
A large request from farmers is
coming in for a representative of the
Montana Wheat Growers Associa-
tion to assist in clearing up some of
the questions that have been brought
about by the fall market. 1t IS also
requested by farmers that a repre-
sentative of the other type of mark
citing be allowed to explain the old
line method of marketing grain and
any question which farmers
desire to PROFOUND to him.
Chester G. Davis, Commissioner of
Agriculture will either be present or
furnish a mar to be present to take
up the premium side of marketing
to give the farmers an understanding
and the results of the recent investi%
cation conducted on premium iuxa-
ton in the different localities and
how the State Department will be
proposed to verify them.
M L. Wilson has definitely agreed
to appear on the program providing
a national meeting on the economic
side of grain farmers in the north
west does not conflict with our dates.
There will also be a thorough expla-
nation of the methods employed by
the North Dakota Farm Bureau In
marketing horses and a discussion of
the practicability of the same plans
for this section of Montana.
Local committeeman will give re-
ports from the communities and it is
expected that every community in the
organized or unorganized,
will be present with one or two della
gates.

rails used are chiefly foTmaldehyde
and phenol, or carbolic acid. These
two compounds, chemically combined,
condense as a solid which is highly
valuable as the basis for making such
articles as those enumerated by DR..
Sinner. Thorough tests have demon
strated furfural to be an excellent sub
stitute for formaldehyde in this
work.
Formaldehyde has its source in
methanol, or wood alcohol, which is
produced largely from the destructive
distillation of hard woods such as
birch, oak, maple and elm. Hence
1T is seen that the use of furfural be-
comes measure of conservation.
Dr.. Frederick R. La Forge, who,
with Gerald H. Main, has been con-
Quoting the experiments in the Blu
reau of Chemistry, reports that he
was able to run an automobile engine
with furfural. However, because of
its high boiling point it cannot be
used with the type of carburetor suit

f1culties in the way of its development
as a motor fuel that will be CONNER
cially valuable.
