Law Provides Method of Aid
In Case of Insect Outbreak

In connection with the recent warn
ing sent out by the state college of ag.
riculture that a widespread outbreal
of the army cutworm is possible in
Montana this spring, the state depart
ment Of agriculture calls attention to
a law enacted by the last Legislature
to combat such outbreaks.
The law authorizes boards of coun-
ty commissioners where there are in
sect pests to appoint a suitable per
son, who will act under the direction
of the state entomologist, to poison
and exterminate such pests. The per-
son so appointed has authority to en-
ter upon any infested premises. The
compensation is fixed at not less than
$3.50 nor more than $3.50 per day.
The county commissioners are auth
orized TO purchase the poison and
other equipment needed to extermin-
ate the pests. Warrants issued in
payment of the expenses of the cam
paign are to be drawn on the Insect
Pest Fund" and registered and bear
interest as other county warrants.
1t is then made the duty of the
ty commissioners to ascertain the to-
tai outstanding amount of such
rants, and the succeeding year levy
a tax sufficient to retire and pay off
all such warrants with accrued inter
est. The tax is TO be levied upon all
the property in the county, but shall
not exceed one-half mill for each dol
of assessed valuation.

FIND LISTER FURROW
PREVENTS SOIL BLOWING

A method of controlling soil blow
ing in the western part of Kansas has
been worked out by county agents CO.
operatively employed by the United
States department of agriculture and
the Kansas agricultural college. The
limited rainfall in this area with al
ternate freezing and thawing, causes
the top soil to become a pulverized
mass, which blows readily. During
the winter and spring of 1921 the
western counties suffered an unusual
amount of loss from soil blowing.
The most practical method of coun-
teracting the effect of blowing con-
sisted of running lister burrows at in
tervals of about 20 feet at right an
giles to the prevailing wind. The fur
need to be renewed occasionally
and if the weather is unusually dry
and windy new lister burrows should
be run between the first. ones. Six
men tried this method on $50 acres in
Meade county and cut wheat on this
land averaging 10 to 20 bushels to
the acre, while the wheat on the other
fields of their own and their neigh
bors were completely destroyed. In
IA counties 656 farmers used methods
to prevent soil blowing on 8,056 acres.

Conditions among the farmers OF

The state board authorized Mr..
Wickland to institute "a general sys-
tenn of farm assessment which will
equalize values i'm the various coun-
ties. The investigator said that at the
present time assessment values we're

unstOck Corporation TO Act
As State Clearing House

After a careful consideration of the
needs of some parts of the state for
restocking of cattle and sheep, the
directors of the Montana Livestock
Finance corporation has announced
that steps were taken for the corpor-
alton to serve the purpose of a clear
ing house for livestock in Montana.
BY this plan Montana stockmen hav-
ing cattle or sheep for sale will be
brought into touch with stockmen of
this state who are in the market for
stock with which to build up their
flocks and herds.
To this end sellers and buyers are
invited to communicate with the office
of the corporation in Helena.
This plan will keep the livestock
market in Montana stabilized, it was
pointed out, by making the opportun-
ity for growers to dispose of their
surplus stock at real values and for
purchasers to obtain native cattle in
sound and healthy condition.
There does not appear to the direct
ors that there is any need Of shipping
IN any stock from southern or outside
ranges for restocking in Montana, it
was said.
Applications for livestock loans ag-
gregating 100000 were considered
by the directors. Some of these
loans were approved and others were
approved subject to inspection.
The directors recorded their salts
faction with the operations of the
corporation, and the marked progress
made furnishing financial relief to
Montana stockmen. I

Early Matching Essential for
Greatest Profit From Poultry

To get the greatest profit out OF
poultry it is necessary to produce
eggs during the early winter months
when eggs are high. At that season
the old birds are usually Noting or
taking a rest after their years work
and it is up to the pullets to fill the
egg basket. This cannot be accom-
plished unless they are well deyelop-
ed and fully matured. To make this
growth the chicks should be Matched
between March 10 and May is from
strong, healthy, vigorous stock.
In selecting breeding stock. select
birds in their second year that are
strong and active and have been free
from disease. AS far as possible nick
birds that during their pullet wear
were heavy producers. Select the
large, heavy uniformly colored hens.
and eliminate the sickly, weak over
fat hens from the breeding stock.
Choose for a male to mate with
these females a bird that is strong
upright, fully developed, with bright
eyes, rich, red, well developed comb
This bird should come from a her or
from a flock of hens that have good
egg records back of them. In mating
birds plan for one male to every
ten or fifteen females. The eggs from
breeders should be collected
frequently each day, especially during
he cold weather. Keep them in a mod
cool room and turn each day
set. The quicker the eggs are
after being gathered the higher
he per cent hatch may be expected.
Hatch chicks early from strong
breeding stock, keep them growing
SO as to be fully matured
y fall and they will lay when eggs
re high and bring a good profit be
ore the late Matched birds get started.

Expect Widespread Outbreak
of Army CutwOrm in April

The entomology department of the
state college in a letter sent out to
county agents and others has issued a
warning to agriculturists of the state
that a widespread optbreak of the
army cutworm is possible in Mon
tana this spring. 1.-THE danger is
greater in Montana for 1922 than for
any recent year we have known the
letter declares.
The letter warns farmers to distin-
guish between the army cutwcrm and
the pale western cutworm. The army
cutworm works above the surface of
the ground and may be effectively
controlled, while the pale western cut
worm still is beyond any power of en-
tomologists to control in this state.
1t is pointed out that in 1915, the
worst of army cutworm years, com
first appeared in early April.
Practically all of this was reported in
jury to winter wheat. Again this
year the first trouble may be expect
ed in winter wheat fields.
Poisoned bran mash for cutworms
is prepared the same as for grass
hoppers, except that banana oil is
omitted. Effective measures for con-
troll of the ahmy cutworm are dis
cussed in the Montana experiment

Montana Farmers Showing
Interest in Dairy Industry

The dairy industry of Montans
seems about to enter a period of ex.
pansion, according to George II. Web
ster, chief of the division of d~airying
of the department of agriculture.
Mr.. Webster states that many let
ters of inquiry are being received
by his division in regard TO the pur-
chase of high grade and registered
dairy cattle. He recently returned
from a visit to the western part of the
state, where a Guernsey breeders
association was formed and the money
raised to purchase quite a number Of
registered and high grade cattle of
that breed.
"Other localities in the state are
contemplating bringing in numbers of
both Holsteins and Guernseys," said
Mr.. Webster, "and it is proposed to
combine the whole in one shipment"
The department has requests for
help in dairy extension work suffi-
cient to keep Mr.. Webster away from
the office all the time, it is stated.
~Every county in the state is intensely
interested in the development Of the
dairy industry" said Mr.. Webster.
This is a most promising sign that
Montana is to be permanently an ag-
ricultural state and that its rural in
habitants are to be community build
ers instead of soil robbers"

Jack MCGOWAN Defend
ant in Injunction Suit

John MCGOWAN, one of the early
ranchers of the Highwood section and
pioneer labor employment agent OF
Great Falls, is defendant in an in
junction suit filed by Charles Rustad,
with whom MCGOWAN was formerly in
partnership in the conduct of the Mon
tana Employment agency.
Plaintiff alleges that he bought the
Montana Employment, or Jack Nc
Gowan's Employment agency, interest
of defendant October Is, 1917, paying
him $1,000 with the distinct under
standing, set out in Exhibit A." at
tached, that defendant would not
again engage in business in Great
Falls under the MCGOWAN name while
plaintiff was in the business here;
that defendant has rented an office
and hung out the. sign "McGowan's
Labor Office" Wherefore plaintiff
asks an injunction and any such
other relief as the court may see fit.
For which one cannot blame Rustad,
for during all the years that Meow
an vas in the employment business it
was he that the ranchers and farm
ers, as we'll as contractors of northern
Montana looked to to supply them
with labor. He understood their needs
and nine times out of, 10 the man sent
out to a job proved to be the mar for
the place, with the result that both
the employer and the employee were
satisfied. And Rustad probably
and with reason, hat once it
becomes known that Jack MCGOWAN is
the employment business it will be
him that employers viii send for
heir help.
