MONTANA BEGINS
GRAIN HARVEST
CUTTING OF WHEAT HAS COM.
MENCED IN MANY SECTIONS
OF THE STATE
Winter Wheat and Rye Have Filled
Well; Spring Wheat Maturing a
Little Too Soon; Corn is Making
Remarkable Growth.

Abundant moisture and higher
temperature combined to force Mon
tana crops to make excellent progress
during the first half of July. The
spots where more rain is needed at
once are few in number and small in
extent, according to summary is
sued by the Montana Cooperative
Crop Reporting Service.
Winter wheat and rye have filled
well, and the harvest is starting.
These crops promise the best yields
west of the divide.
Spring wheat has made rapid
strides and most of it is headed we'll
Some is maturing a little soon, but
it is filling well. A few spots in the
eastern and south-centraI districts
report immediate need of additional
rain for wheat.
Corn made remarkable growth un-
der the stimulus of hot days and
abundant moisture. Potatoes, though
late, are doing well, as are oats, bar
ley, flax and other crops.
Most of the first crop of alfalfa is
in the stack, except where delayed
by too frequent rains and floods. Not
a little of it was rain-soaked in the
process of putting up. The yield has
been generally good, but hoppers,
hail and dry periods have reduced
the average somewhat. The crop of
wild hay promises to be unusually
good.
Another hopeful note exists in the |
reports that hoppers are fairly we'll
under control in most counties. |
Along the edges of the most seriously
territory in the north-cen-
raj district, particularly in the coun-
les of Chouteau, Teton, Pondera and |
Hill, the advance of the hopper horde |
seems to be slowing down, due to |
'apid growth of green stuff, to the
lse of poison, and to parasites which

BUSY DAYS AT
STATE COLLEGE

While school is not scheduled to
start at the state college at Boze-
man for more than a month yet, the
campus is beehive of activity as the
building program is being completed.
The department of biology is busy
now moving into it's new building.
AS rapidly as the old building is va
Gated the offices will be taken over
by the Extension Service of the in
stitution, formerly housed in the ag-
ricultural hall The mathematics de-
partment will soon be ready to take
charge of the old engineering build
ing which is being vacated. They
will have the top floor of the build
ing while the lower floor will be
taken over by the secretarial depart
ment. Equipment has already been
moved into the new gymnasium while
the old one is being remodeled for
use as a stock judging building.
The new $250,000 engineering
building is ready for the influx of en-
gineers-to-be this fall. This build
ing will be exclusively for the engin-
eering departments with the single
exception of the office of the physical
plant.
Finishing touches to all the build
ings are rapidly being applied and
they will all be ready for the open
ing of the fall term. The torn up
ground, Uttered with the debris of
construction, is being leveled off and
soon the buildings will be surround
ed by carpets of green grass and rows
of young trees.
One complete new roadway viii be
built to be included in the circular
campus driveway. 1t will branch
off on the west side of the main hall,
running in front of the beautiful new
gymnasium and leaving the campus
on the east side directly in front of
the new engineering building and
shop.

| If potato growing is to be carried
on successfully and profitably thu
wedding out" process must be useC
for the poorer plants. Experiment!
all over the United States have
proven this. If potatoes are grow
from seed year after year, only sci
ected from the bin with no knowl
edge of what kind of plants they
came from, in several years time
the potato yield will decrease to al
most nothing.
This statement is borne out in fig,
ures compiled showing the produc-
tion of plants and potatoes raised on
the State college experiment station
plots. These experiments, with sew
eral different strains of plants, have
been carried on by the horticulture
department for the past seven years.
To start with, in one instance for
an example, 108 potatoes were select
ed at random from a bin. They were
planted as separate units and from
the first the poorer plants were roug-
ed out. Those that showed a good
healthy vigorous vine character were
saved. Those that evidenced poor
vine character in sma1lness and dis
ease were pulled and dug. In few
years some of the poorer plants ran
out altogether, the same as they will
do for the farmer if he does not
watch his fields. The better ones,
saved as No. 1 stock, have produced
an average yield for the seven-year
period of from 10000 to more than
$4,000 pounds per acre. Some of the
poorer plants decreased until they
were only producing from 1900 to
10000 pounds per acre.
Professor Harrington urges the
rogueing of potato field during Aug
ust while the time is ripe in order
that Montana may gradually become
the greatest state in the production
Of pure certified seed potatoes.
If the farmers haven't the time or
will not care for their fields in this
manner, he says, the next best thing
20 do is not use any of the potatoes
,or seed next year but to buy certi-
led seed on the market at the start
If the season. This, he says, is a
,lan that is being followed out with
in some of the southern and
EASTERN states at the present time.

BIG IMPROVEMENT
In TOMATOES BY
PLANT SELECTION

The steady improvement in quality
of tomatoes by selection is shown in
figures issued recently by the Mon
tana Experiment station at Bozeman
where Prof. f. M. Harrington, horti-
culturist, has added SO per cent to
the productiveness of different
strains of tomatoes in three years
of such work. The tomatoes used in
the selection experiments were Bon
ME Best and Earliana strains, two of
the most popular in Montana
In the first year seed was pur-
chased from 10 outside seed houses.
Upon the station plots this seed pro
duced 1851 pounds of Bonnie Best
tomatoes per acre the first year. The
best of this production was selected
for seed and, upon the same plots,
the following year returned 1897
pounds of tomatoes. The gain of
5000 pounds in productiveness was
the result of the first years selection.
Last year, the third year of pro-
duction and the second year of selec-
ton, the result was even more mark
ed. The Bonnie Best that had pro-
duced 1927 pounds of tomatoes the
year before now produced 1877
pounds, larger gain even than in
the first year of selection. This pro-
duction shows gain of approximate
ly 1000 pounds for two years of sell
ection and gain of approximately
1000 pounds between the first and
second years of production, a re-
markable set of figures.
The selection is still going on at
the Montana experiment station at
Bozeman and Prof. Harrington ex-

ROOM FOR MANY
ON SUN RIVER
FARMS FOR 1900 FAMILIES ON
GREENFIELD DIVISION OF
IRRIGATION PROJECT
Farmer ON Huntley Project Grew
$500 Pounds of Tobacco on One
Acre; Sold for 80 Cents Per
Pound.

Proper settlement of the Green
fields division of the Sun river irri
cation project, following completion
of construction, would mean from
1900 to 1900 families on the project
instead of the 800 now on the land
according to Miles Cannon, field rec
Iamation commissioner with the bu-
reau of reclamation.
Mr.. Cannon's is a new office with
the service, having been organized
for more effective colonization and
production in connection with federal
irrigation projects.
The Sun river project has no nat
ural disadvantages, and, with needed
construction done, should provide
Great Falls and all of its trade ter
ritory with all of its poultry prod
ucts, vegetables and dairy products,
Mr.. Cannon said.
Small Profit Left

so cents bushe1, he doesn't make
much, even on 30-bushel crop. The
remedy of the wheat situation is for
the farmers to grow less wheat. The
farmers should grow only those prod
ucts that give a profit. That seems
simple, but strangely enough, the
farmers don't follow that rule.
Montana irrigation projects are
some of the finest we have. They
have wonderful advantages of soil
and natural conditions. Most of
them should be more thickly settled
On all of them the farmers must look
about and find products that bring
profit.
Fright here in Montana last sea-
son was grown some of the finest to-
bacco in the world. Down on the
Huntley project they are growing to-
bacco this season. Last season one
farmer raised $500 pounds of good
hurley tobacco on one acre. He sold |
; was five s. feet high the leaves i
"a farmer over on the Williston |
project in North sDakota, made |
$4,000 on 40-acre hrm. His neigh
Dor across the road did even better
when he sold 10000 pounds of honey
at from 40 to so cents a pound.
Must Choose Products
whether it is growing vegetable
seeds, vegetables themselves, produc-
ing stock or raising pigs, Montana
irrigated farm owners must turn
from low priced products to those
that bring returns. When the num-
Der of wheat growers drop to the
point where wheat holds at $3.50 and
$1.60 a bushel, wheat farmers can
make profit.
Construction work of the reclaim
alton service has reached a high
point of efficiency. We have been
neglecting to follow this with aid in
the projects to the best
point of efficiency and giving super
vision of the production end to see
that the farms are made profitable. !"

same factors are checking the hungry
hoppers in other sections, but crops
and ranges are being seriously injur-
ed by them in spots in various coun-
ties.
Livestock and ranges continue in
good shape.
Farm labor is short in several i'm
portant hay districts, and more acute
shortages are expected when harvest
begins.

poets marked increase in yield again
this year. All plants at the station
are staked and trained to a single
stem. BY this method of handling
the plants Prof. Harrington says they
gain from two to three weeks in time
of maturity. He says that stalking
and training the plants to a single
stem should be practiced wherever
there is growing season of 120 days
or less.
