TO EXPERIMENT WITH RE-
SEEDING NATIVE GRASS

Experimental methods in the re-
seeding of land, which has been brok-
en- for cultivation, will be tried on the
Fort Assinniboine experimental sta
tion near Havre this year, according
to George Morgan, superintendent of
the farm-Since the native grass has
been killed out, it will be attempted
to bring the soil back to pasturage
condition to take care of the livestock
upon the farm. Considerable stress is
laid upon the diversified farming at
the station, as it is believed that in
northern Montana, profitable results
can not be obtained from raising
wheat alone.
A herd of 80 grade Herefords, beef
cattle, are being handled on the farm
under the supervision of Mr.. Morgan
and A. B. Baker, assistant in live
stock work. These cattle were started
about four years ago with 40 yearling
heifers.- It's planned this year to
tart a herd of milking s~horthorns
under the same conditions as any
farmer. Four head of registered
shorthorns, a registered bull and eight
grade cows will form the base for the
herd. Experimental feeding will be
used with the cattle. Some of the
feeds being tested at the station is
straw and cotton seed cake, straw and
sunflower silage, hay for breeding
cows; for yearlings and calves, blue
joint hay and alfalfa and sunflower
silage is compared.

and has been completely revised

The work covers 6S2 pages.
The writers are far too intelli'

has been built along lines to let
the reader form an independent

been based on long study OF

only by the preponderance of evil

This volume shows how imml-

how they live: the percentage

who are thrifty and own homes;
how the various races and ma

political economists.
