den, county agent, reports that indi-
cations are for fair crop with many
fields showing well and starting to
stool. The ground is in fair condi-
ton for the drilling of spring wheat
and quite large acreage will be
planted, according to reports received
here.
Marquis wheat will lead all other
varieties in the county as usual. In
the durum, Kubanka and Pellis will
be used for the most part. Little

From three to four pecks is recon-

cooperative purchase of alfalfa hull
lers and cleaning machinery which
VIII enable members of the associa-
ton to put out an absolutely stand
ard product are among the other mat
ters to occupy the attention of the
association.
Active Demand
Montana grown Grimm alfalfa is in
active demand and those who are in
close touch with the situation believe
there is great possibility for the de-
velopment of this crop in the Milk
river valley from the seed standpoint.
This, together with the fact that soil
which has been planted to alfalfa,
makes ideal ground for sugar beets,
will, it is pointed out by farmers,
insure an unusual interest in this
matter by farmers on irrigated land.

COYOTE BOUNTY
SOON IN LIMBO
MAY 6 LAST DATE ON WHICH
STATE PAYS BOUNTY ON
PREDATORY ANIMALS.
Prices of Fur and Hides Are Adj
vancing; Fine Coyote Skins Bring
as High as $27; One Firm Wants
5000 Beaver Pelts.

| May is the last date on which
the state will pay bounty on preda
tory animals. Until that date the
sheriff's office will pay $3.50 eacf
for the proper marking of coyotes
when presented at his office.
On March 6, the state bounty Law
was rendered invalid, but the Law
provided, that bounty should be paid
for animals, when their pelts were
presented within so days of the time
they were killed. This clause allows
farmers and hunters until May 6 to
make claims for the fee.
Fur and hide firms announce that
the price of pelts have advanced and
that they are now paying from $500
for unprime pelts to $27.00 for fine
extra large coyote skins.
One firm states that they are now
in the market for 5000 beaver hides
at value of from $1,000 to $500
for extra fine hides. Muskrats and
beaver caught from February l I'M
til May 1 are said to be the best,
Martens, coyotes, skunks, minks,
fisher, raccoon, and all other furs
are quoted as being in good demand.
Skunk hides are worth from $1.00
to $500 for black skunk, rs cents
to $500 for short skunk, rs cents to
$3.50 for narrow hides, and IS cents
to $500 for broad pelts.
Mink pelts are quoted as being
worth from $3.50 to $1,000. Musk
rats are priced at from 20 cents to
$500. The closing of the rat season
in Montana is said not to affect this
seasons trapping of the muskrats.
Gray fox pelts are worth from 35
cents to $500, red fox from $1.00 to
$500, ordinary fox from $500 to
$4,000, dark fox from $500 to $780,
90 while silver and black fox pelts
bring from $500 to $4,000.
Lynx are worth from rs cents to

The care and feeding of animals
during April largely determines the
number of hides that will hang on
the feed lot fence, says DR.. Howard
WEIGH, veterinarian of Montana State
college. April is the month of great
est livestock losses in the northwest
ern states, and much of this loss may
be directly traced to underfeeding or
to improper feeding, says DR.. Welch.
Look out for the early grass" he
says. Early grass is washy and has
but little feed value in spite of the
fact of it's green and strong appear
ance. Good, clean hay is the greatest
need in April, but after stock has
been put on the green grass they are
reluctant about eating the hay. 1t is
best to keep cattle and sheep on
bright hay until a good stand of
grass isassured in the pasture.
1.-THE first green grass is tempting,
but the clumps are small and scatter
ed. Old sheepmen know the disas-
trous effects of early grass. Sheep
actually will exhaust themselves COW
ering ground to get enough of the
new grass to fit their hunger. The
washy effect of the succulent wrass
shoots often sets up diarrhea which,
added to the weak condition of sheep,
may prove fatal Weak ewes are in
great danger when turned on the
washy grass of early spring.
"Economizing on hay in April and
early May is poor business foresight
and results in the actual starvation
of many animals which otherwise
would have come through to the sea-

son of good grass. Small grain ra-
tions as a supplement to hay are par
ticularly advisable during the lamb
ing or calving season and it helps to
insure a better milk supply and adds
to the strength of the mother animal
Corn as a supplement to alfalfa
or oil cake as supplement to tim
othy will more than pay for them
selves in conditioning of the animals.
Potatoes may be fed with fine results
to hogs, the best results being OBJ
tanned where the potatoes are thor
oughly steamed. With potatoes
should be fed ground barley, oats or
even wheat, although. light ration
of tankage is better yet. If no grain
is available, leafy alfalfa is good
supplement for the potato feeding.
AS high as IL pounds of potatoes per
hog per day may be fed to young
growing shoats and they require only
very light grain ration as supple
ment. Oil cake, especially cotton
seed cake, should not be fed to hogs
as poisoning occasionally results.
vitality of animals, especially
breeding stock, is at its lowest in
April and early May. Every scheme
should be employed to build up the
strength of the animal. Disease of
course is a factor, but disease to
great extent may be traced to de-
pressed vitality. Feeding in most
cases is a matter of quality and not
of quantity. Feed properly and care
fully in spring and your feeding will
largely determine the number of
hides that will hang on the fence"

ALFALFA GROWERS
ORGANIZE UNIT
FARMERS OF SACO COUNTRY
GOING IN FOR GROWING
GRIMM ALFALFA
Believed that the Crop Will Gain in
Acreage Rapidly and Leading Far
mers VIII Grasp Opportunity to
Standardize Product.

| At a recent meeting held at SacC
under the auspices of the county
agents office representing the extern
sion division of the state college,
farmers on irrigated land tributary
to town organized a local Grimm al
falfa growers association, the pur-
pose of which will be to create a
small territory tributary to Saco that
will confine itself entirely to this one
variety of alfalfa. William H. Fra
zier was named temporary chairman
and with Henry Hedges and Dan Gar
rison will form committee of three
to work out plans for the organiza-
ton which will be fully developed at
meeting to be held in the near flu
ture.
New Industry
Alfalfa seed growing in that dis
trict is as yet new and of the farmers
who have gone into this crop the big
majority have used the registered
Grimm seed which has been produced
by Phillips county growers in coop
Grafton with the state college. 1t
is believed that this crop will gain
in acreage rapidly and leading farm
ers in this territory see an opportun-
ity of completely standardizing on
this one variety. Of the total acre
age of alfalfa now planted in this
territory only about per cent is
other than registered Grimm and one
of the first jobs of the association
will be to develop plans whereby this
small acreage of common alfalfa will
be gradually eliminated and that all
