1t is entirely logical that Cadillac, pioneer
leader of eight-cylinder manufacture in

PROPER PRUNING OF TREES
is HIGHLY IMPORTANT
BY w. M. Treadwell, Great Falls

a. -
In travelling about the country l
see so many trees improperly pruned
or not pruned at all that l Inn. con-
strained to write a few words regard
ing the proper trimming of trees.
The time of pruning is not sc i'm
portant as the manner in which it is
done. Early spring before the sap
starts, or summer, fall or winter are
good times to prune. At a time when
there Is a heavy flow of sap running
it is better not to remove any limbs.
There seems to prevail a common
impression that the cut should not be
made too close to the tree. This is
just exactly the opposite from proper
practice. The cut should be made as
close to the body of the tree as pos
sible. This will allow the wound to
heal over. If cut is made some dis
lance from the body or trunk 1t will
be much longer in healing V e In
case the branch is a small one the
end or stub will die and later may
decay and the decay extend to the
heart of the tree with disastrous re-
suits.
AS to removing branches, it is, of
course, impossible to say in an article
of this kind which ones should come
off. A street tree should be trimmed
up higher on the trunk than n on
private grounds as branches must not
be allowed to interfere with traffic.
Branches that cross and are rubbed

Results of Comparative Tests
Yield per acre

A study of these yields indicates
that the advantage lies with Kota in
the rust areas, but that Kota is not
consistently superior in the lighter
rust areas such as eastern Montana
and western North Dakota. In CEN
trail and western Montana, as indi-
Gated by results at Moccasin and
Bozeman, and where stem rust is not
a factor of Importance, Kota is decid-
eddy inferior in yield.
Yield Is only one factor which the
farmer must consider. The charac-
ter of the plant, earliness, quality of
the wheat and flour for milling or
baking, ETC., must also be noted.
Kota straw is weaker than most
other varieties of spring wheat, it is
bearded and has a tendency to lodge
about the same as durum wheats.
The claims for Kota on the basis of
milling and baking tests must be
considered in the light of North Da-
kota conditions where rust has been
a factor. AS Director Trowbridge of
the North Dakota Experiment Station
says, "Millers have been unable to
get a sufficient quantity of Kota
wheat to make a commercial test and
only laboratory tests of the flour
have been made SO far. They do not
regard that its value for milling pur-
poses have been proven. The tenden-
cy Of Kota flour to produce a creamy
fellow colored loaf of bread does not
conform to the present demands of
the trade for a white loaf and this
color deviation, while not great, may
prove to be a serious defect from the
miller's standpoint"
When n considers that there will
probably be available over one mill
lion bushels of this wheat next year.
and that its superior value over the
best strain of Marquis in any portion
of Montana is very problematical, it
does not appear wise, necessary, mol
advisable for farmers to invest in
high priced seed OF this variety ex-
cept for the purpose of making a To-
cal variety test. Marquis and Red
Bobs are the most promising spring
wheats for eastern and central Mon
tana as far as present available evil
1ence from farms and experiment sta
ions Is concerned.

WISE FARMERS
WILL SAVE SOWS
EXCELLENT CONDITIONS SEEM
ASSURED IN THE HOG
INDUSTRY
Montana Offers Good Opportunities
for Hog Raising; Fine Feed and
All Year Around Market; Hog
Industry Growing.

Farmers who are not tempted into
selling their brood sows will display
foresight, for according to indications
the hog market should continue
strong.
There is no better way to market
ones crops than by feeding to hogs.
Selling the crops on the hoof is far
better than selling them in a wagon.
The hog industry is growing, but not
more rapidly than the conditions ap-
pear to warrant. The climate and
other conditions in Montana are IA
orab1e and there is a good market.
Selling the brood SOW is like kill
ing the goose that lays the proven
bal golden egg. The brood SOW
should be retained as the source OF
further and future profits.
Hogs furnish meat more quickly
and cheaply than any other class of
live stock.

type than Marquis. This wheat was
brought over from Russia with some
durum wheats and has been tested at
a number of stations for a series of
years. It's outstanding claims for
consideration are it's rust resistance
and yields in areas where stem rust
is a factor. North Dakota farmers
have been losing a lot of money from
reduced yields and quality of spring
wheat, especially in years like 1916
when an otherwise bumper year was
placed on the partial failure list. The
ability of Kota to resist stem rust
attracted due attention to it and it is
not to be wondered at that enter
prising parties began to increase the
seed and are now consequently able
to reap a nice harvest by demanding
rather a high price per bushel. We
have no quarrel with the Kota wheat
growers association, however, but
do want to give Montana farmers
the facts.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
CONTOUR bikes FOR DRY
LAND IRRIGATION
By Il. E. MURDOCH, of the Montana State Agricultural College.

! deep on the shallow side this would
make it necessary to put the dikes
fifty feet apart for a slope of one foot
in one hundred feet and one hundred
feet apart for a slope of one-ha1f
foot in one hundred feet. If this
makes the checks too large for the
water to get over the entire check
rapidly enough with the flow avail
able the dikes can be placed closer to-
gether. For sandy soils the checks
should be small to prevent excessive
seepage losses.
The contour bikes extend across
the flat from the dixie along the bank
into the hill. The outlet for passing
the water from a check to the next
one lower down is cut in the dixie
and the dixie protected SO it won't cut
out. For such crops al hay or pas
ture where the bikes can be made
permanent and sodded they can be
made lower and broader, with a
rounded top so that they will hold
water to their full height and when
they get full the water will brim
over the dixie for its entire length.
This gives an ideal distribution of
the water
If there is any danger of getting
too much water on the upper checks,
boxes can be built in the bikes to
drain the water into the lower ones.
If one flood does not irrigate all the
the water from the next flood
can be led to the lower checks first.
By this method of utilizing the
flood waters of the state, thousands
of Montana dry farms a be develop
ed into real homes. Many of those
already abandoned can be brought
back into productiveness and the des-
Effectiveness of the high waters will
be greatly lessened. However, there
is a legal problem that this flood
irrigation development is going
% bring up and I will tell you about
hat in a future article.

SHEEP WILL CLEAN
UP ALL THE WASTE
BAND OF WOOLIES IS NEEDED TO
FARM PROPERLY AND
SCIENTIFICALLY
Turning Sheep in on Fields in Fall
Profitably Practiced in Various
Parts of State; Valuable in Clean
ing up Tops of Sugar Beet Fields
and in Cleaning Grain Fields.

A small flock of sheep is as es-
sential to the proper conduct OF a
farm as scientific farming for they
will clean up the wastes of the farm
by eating up the weeds, brush and
cleanings and thus turn into cash
what otherwise would be lost.
Sheep make the most economical
gains of any kind of livestock be-
cause they clean up the odds and
ends.
They are particularly useful on
the farm in the fall of the year, for
they turn into mutton the things that
otherwise would not be used. At the
same time they save the feedstuffs
that would be given them if they did
not have access to this stuff.
In southern Montana some of the
largest flockmasters plant large acre
ages of corn and oats and instead of
harvesting the crops, turn in bands
of sheep and let them eat the prod
uct. They clean the land thoroughly
and it has proved a very profitable
way of handling both the sheep and
the land.
AS a rule the sheep should be
turned into the oats a few hours the
first day and the length of time the
animals are permitted to stay should
be increased gradually until by the
end of the week they can be given
full possession.
Lambs may be permitted to enter
corn before it is cut, as they will
clean up the weeds and the lower
corn plant leaves. They do not pull
down the lower ears as do the larger
sheep. Later the sheep car be turn
ed in.
Growing root crops is another.
profitable way to handle sheep. After
the larger roots are hauled in for
winter use the sheep may be turned
into the field and they will clean up
the balance.

In the last article I promised to
tell a little about how to build con-
tour bikes. Moisture is the limiting
factor in crop production under Mon
tana dry-farming conditions and the
more moisture retained on the dry
farm the greater will be the crop pro-
du~ction. It is with the idea of tell
ing how much of the moisture that
runs off the dry farm car be caught
by a simple system and retained IN
the soil that this article is written.
The first requisite for. a successful
diking system is a comparatively
level field with a slope not greater
than one foot in a hundred. Most
of our farms have at least a few acres
of this kind of land.
The next requisite is a draw or
coulee from which the water can be
run directly or by ditch onto this
land. If a storage reservoir has been
constructed the water running over
the spillway can be run onto this land
while the stored water can be used
on rougher land if necessary.
If the draw runs through the land
to be diked the first thing is TO
throw up a good strong dixie on the
bank to keep the water from running
back into the draw and for the ends

GERMAN GOVERNMENT ADVISES FRENCH
 II |S FREE WILL NOT TAKE ORDERS FROM ANY GOVERNMENT AS TO
 ITS ACTIONS
WILL VISIT AT ITS LEISURE
Does Not Consider French Occupation as Restrictive Upon Movements
 and Will Ramble Around

BERLIN, Feb. I.-What may be construed into a declaration of hostil- ities was arrived at last evening at a joint meeting of the cabinet and gov ernment officials, which convened to consider the actions of the French oc- cupational army commanders in at tempting to restrict the movements of the German population in the dis tricts taken.
 The outcome of the session was the forwarding of notification by the German government to the French that Germany declined to receive or ders from any foreign government as to when and where it's people may visit, especially to parts of its own country. This, it is believed, will bring about a further strained condi- ton between the two nations.
