Promise to Make Permanent Crop.

F., Mr.. Diekman and through other
sources.
"A new variety of irrigated wheat is
being tried out by A. G.. Ely Of Sun

Hard Federation wheat is an Oregon
product and gives great promise out

Dry Land Barley
Registered Hannchen barley is the
best yielding under our dry land condi-
tons. 1t has averaged 1919 bushels
per acre for II years at Moccasin. C.
NJ. Stor moi Power has a registered
field Of this barley. And from Mr..
Storm, this barley has been introduced
into practically every section of the
state.
Montana SO, one of our best win
ter wheats. is being produced from reg
istered seed by w. V. Talbot of Arm
ington.
"An registered seed work is done by
the farmer cooperating with the state
seed growers association. One field
inspection is made each year by a rep
resentative of that organization and
then a laboratory test of termination
and purity of threshed grain is made
before the growers are allowed to sell
the seed with registry certificate.
In the pure seed work, registered
seed is distributed to cooperating
farmers for demonstration purposes.
The farmer returns two bushels for
each bushel received in most cases.
