The only think that prevented an

While the copper sulphate treatment
gives about equally as good results IN

advantages over it. In the first place
it does not have to be Dissolved, and 1t
does not need TO be followed by lime
water. 1t is not so likely to damage

The copper sulphate treatment is
as follows: To every five

sulphate and preferably also one
pound Of salt. Apply the solution by
of the four methods described un-
Ter the formalin treatment. 1t should

in Upkeep
Federal Aid Roads

The offer of the state highway
commission to share equally in the
cost of maintaining the 81 miles of
federal roads in the county was con-
sidered Monday by the board of
county commissioners and finally tax
en- under advisement. The proposal
provides for the appropriation by Cas-
cade county of S6,873, or half of the
estimated cost of maintenance. The
appropriation is to be paid to the state
highway commission
The state highway comission made
this proposal to Cascade county, pur-
suant to a resolution adopted by that
body February %, on motion of Com
missioner H. A. Templeton of Great
Falls. Under the program of the
commission for highway maintenance
a patrol system will be established,
the employment Of patrolmen to be
handled by the commission. The pa
troll system will remain in force dur
ing the maintenance season, which is
presumed to end about November /,
1922.
Should the maintenance expense be
more tina the amount estimated by the
highway commission, the added cost
shall be paid by the commission, as the
resolution expressly states that the
liability of the equity shall
be one-half of the estimated cost. The
is expected to remit to the
commission each month its share of
the upkeep expense. The state high
way commission has appropriated
$4,000 to cover its share of the main
tenace cost in all of the counties hay-
federal aid roads.
Federal aid roads are now being
by the county. The main
expense last year, according
70 County Surveyor Robert Day, was
S6,436, or 1888 a mile. Under the
highway commission plan, the cost a
mile to the county would be about
1892.

Prevention Methods
in Soil Blowing

Soil blowing is a source of damage
in many parts of Montana, resulting
in uncovered seed and plants, and es-
pecially winter wheat.
There are two factors that enter
into the movement of soil, strength
of the wind acting on the soil and the
power of the soil to resist wind &C
ton. Sandy soils blow easily, while
those containing a mixture of clay
tend to resist the wind action. This
is because the clay soil tends to hold
the moisture in the soil and it is this
moisture that maintains the binding
power. Blowing can be prevented by
increasing the cohesion of the soil
particles or decreasing the exposure
to wind action. Increased cohesion
NAV be secured by increasing the hui
mus content of the soil by blowing
under manur stubble, straw or
green manure crops. A system of till
age that win conserve the moisture is
useful. When summer following. use
a hacker and do not cultivate the sur
face into a fine mulch. A surface COM
posed of small clods is best. When
the land slopes and the loss of sur
face water is great, shallow burrows
pIowed at right angles to the direction
of flow will help prevent this %run-off
Shallow burrows plowed at right an
giles to the prevailing direction of the
wind will tend to lessen blowing. Elk
posure of the soil to wind action may
be lessened by permitting the stubble
of the previous crop to stand as long
as possible. Sometimes an artificial
covering of straw or such can be pro-
vided. or on small fields windbreaks
are often used.
A very satisfactory method of pre-
venting summer blowing on fallow is
TO substitute corn on the fallow. Corn
will decrease the exposure, viii tend
10 conserve the soil moisture con-
troll weeds and humus, besides pro-
viding some forage OF grain.

Must Use Care in
Treatment of Seed

~Formalin solution does not become
weaker by evaporation" is the posi-
tive statement made in circular NO ~
from the Montana agricultural col
kn9e. In the past, ignorance of this
fact. and the belief among some gram
growers that the opposite is true, has
led them to add more strong formaln
to an already correctly made solution
after it has stood a day or wo, and
this has sometimes resulted in the
killing of the seed. The fact of the
matter is that while there is some loss
of formaldehyde from the solution,
the water evaporates a little faster
than the ~formaldehyde so that the re-
manning solution gradually becomes a
little stronger.
With the annual loss from smut in
Cascade as well as other counties,
more care should be taken IN treating
seed and controlling smut by the prop
err treatment. The following method
of using the formaldehyde treatment
has been proven effective:
Prepare the formalin solution by d.
futing one pint Tor n pound with
as gallons of water. This solution
may be applied in any one of four
ways.
"Spread the grain on a bare floor or
other suitable place a sackful at a
time, and sprinkle the formalin solu-
ton on each sackful with a watering
pot. Then shovel it rel and mix
carefully to wet every kernel and fin
ally to put into a pile and cover with
blankets two hours or more.
"Put the solution into a water tight
half barrel or better still, into a tank
IL to 10 inches deep, a to s feet long,
and about 2 feet wide. Pour in the
seed slowly until it overs the bottom
of the tank to the depth of six to 10
inches. Stir to get out all the air, and
in the Ease of wheat, to release the
light and smutted kernels, which must
be SKINNED off as they rise TO the {
surface. remove the grain in a few !
minutes, drain, and put into piles for 7
two hours or more.
