Dry Land Demonstration Train

In the first five weeks of the
"dry farm success" demonstration
train in north Montana, more than
5000 people saw the exhibits and
demonstrations. The original sched-
ule of the train was heightened twice
to meet demands of other sections
for a visit of the train. Demands for
the further extension of the schedule
could not be met, as practical farm
ers with the train were forced to
leave early in April to get back to
their farm work. Throughout the
entire trip the train has been in
charge of M. L. Wilson, farm manage.

farmers and seed buyers the state
has made this service open to all per-
sons of the state"
No Charge for Seed Testing
There is no charge for the making
of a termination and purity test for
a grower or dealer. The Montana
state law provides for the accurate
labelling of all agricultural seeds Of
fered for sale in lots of one pound
or more. The law also provides for
enforcement; and penalties for VIOLA
lions of the law.
Here are the things that must be
plainly stated on the label attached
TO agricultural seeds for sale in Mon
tana: kind of seed, variety, percent
age of foreign seeds and other ma
terial, termination, date of germina-
ton, noxious weed percentage. and
where grown, and the name and adj
dress of dealer offering seed for sale.
NO evasion of this label REQUIRE
ment is permitted, for the law plain
~ states in size of type in which the
label must be printed. The "agricul-
tural seeds" included within the
meaning of the law are 'red clover,
white clover, alsike clover, alfalfa,
Kentucky blue grass, redtop, meadow
fescue, oat grass, rye grass and other
grasses and forage plants; corn, flax,
rape, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat and other cereals"
Small Fee For Grading
While the termination and purity
tests are made free, the charge for
grain grade sample inspection is rs
cents. The charge for car or part
car inspection is SIPS, the state fix
ing these charges to help cover the
actual cost of the work.
To answer the many questions on
the work of the seed laboratory, the
experiment station has is
sued a bulletin called "The Purpose
and Work of the Montana Grain In
spection Laboratory" This is cir
cular No. 108 and may be obtained
free of charge by writing to the ex-
pertinent station at Bozeman. All
questions relating to the work of
milling and baking tests, grain grad
ing and purity and termination tests,
as handled by the laboratory, are
taken up in this circular.

while away from the SOW. 1t is very
important that the small teeth near
the front of the jaw be cut off. PHI
ers with cutting jaws are best adapt
ed for this purpose. Attention to this
point will mean saving of pigs and
sometimes the saving of whole filters.
The only successful pig forceps is
the n involving the principle of a
wire loop which can be contracted
and expanded. If care is exercised
in the use of this instrument the SOW
will not be injured in any way.
If the sow is very quiet some of the
pigs may be allowed to suckIe dur
ing narrowing. For the first day or
two half the pigs should be placed
with the sow at a time, the other half
being kept in a comfortable box. A
half hour to an hour is sufficient time
for them to feed. This enables all
the pigs to get sufficient milk. 1t
also greatly reduces the chances of in
jury to the pigs by the SOW moving
about, as she can care for a few pigs
much more easily than for a large
litter.
After narrowing the feed for the
ooW SHould De regulated by the con-
dition of the pigs. For the first day
very little feed is required. Two to
five pounds of grain per day for the
first week or ten days will be re-
quired, depending on the number of
pigs in the litter and on the amount
of milk the sow gives. The feed
should be regulated to keep the pigs
growing nicely but they should not
be permitted to become very fat, ow-
ing to danger from THUMBS.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-04-19

Outdoor exercise and sunshine are
necessary for young pigs. II the
weather permits, the SOW and pigs
should be given a liberal outdoor run
when the pigs are three or four days
old. If the weather does not permit
it may be necessary to drive the pigs
about indoors. Failure to attend to
this matter results in small filters
raised, or in unthrifty pigs.
Small litters raised do not go with
large profits in pork production. In
fact, the margin in producing pork is
not very wide at average prices. If
close attention is not given to all the
items that have to do with increasing
the proportion of pounds of pork pro-
duced to the feed used, growing hogs
for pork will not be profitable. The
early life of pigs is the most i'm
portant time of this respect.

The SOW should have a pen to her
self and she should be in this pen
long enough before narrowing time
to become thoroughly accustomed to
being alone and to being handled.
Without fail some one should be
present at narrowing time. 1t may be
necessary or desirable to take each
pig away from the SOW as it is far
rowed. A box lined with bedding of
some kind (gunny sack or oil cloth)
is excellent for putting the pigs into

leaves and fruit for three years.
Shortly after the egg masses hatch in
May it is difficult to find a bud that
does not contain from one to a doz-
en- caterpillars. These caterpillars
attack the opening buds, chew off the
stems and gnaw into the fruit buds,
web the blossom petals together so
they cannot open, chew into the
young fruit and attack the foliage on
tree.

After having selected clean aggre-
gates of good quality and having been
careful in proportioning and mixing
them, there only remains the proper
placing and curing in order that we
may have a job of pleasing appear
ance and of a quality that will stand
through the ages to come.
Only a few jobs of concrete work
are done where the use of forms of
some kind are not necessary. Since
that is true we will discuss the i'm
portance of their erection, etc.
Where the wall is to be exposed to
view the forms should be made of
surfaced lumber and we'll framed and
braced so that when they are removed
the wall will present a pleasing ap-
pearance. In erecting the forms do
not overlook the Importance of thor
Oughly bracing and tieing them to-
gether as fresh concrete is very heavy
and if they are carelessly erected the
result may be a collapse or at least
a badly bulged, uneven and insight
ly wall.
In placing the concrete avoid de-
posting too much at n point as this
necessitates showing the concrete
along the length of the wall resulting
almost always in forming crock peck
that is, spots where the coarse
aggregate or gravel has accumulated
without sufficient mortar to properly
bind them and form a smooth sur
AS the fresh concrete is being de-
in the forms it should be
thoroughly spaded and worked down
against the forms. This can best be
done with a tool that has a straight
blade like a garden hoe but
with the handle attached in line with
the blade so that it can be used in
4 vertical position.
Many jobs of concrete work have
done where careless workman
ship has resulted in extremely un-
slightly walls and faces and to the
everlasting regret of the owner, and
n many cases it has required a vast
amount of labor to put them in only
air condition.
DO NOT BE CARELESS
If YOU would have a finished job
hat will be strong and last for CEN
uries, remember this-within a few
lours after the concrete has been
,laced it must be thoroughly wet and
.hould be kept wet for at least seven
lays. If it is in a floor or some
,lace where it will receive wear then
t should be kept wet for twelve days.
Summarizing: Use clean sand and
travel; proportion your mix careful
y; mix thoroughly, using as little
as will produce a workable

Care in Buying Poultry.

While not placing undue empha-
Sis on the show side of birds, H. E.
Cushman, poultry specialist for the
Montana State College Extension
Service, holds that this show side has
a real value and must not be over
looked.
1T Is well for those buying breed
ing stock in the spring to acquaint
themselves with the standard re-
gu1rements for their particular
breed, says the poultry expert. Zone
can always find a higher market for
high producing stock if it comes up
to the standard of Perfection.
And this standard does not stress
fine feathers alone. There is a
marked trend, in the breeding of
perfect specimens, toward the utili-
ty side. This new standard makes
many new provisions for length of
back, depth of body and other points
which mean a greater egg capacity

Checking Leaf Roller Pest.

The worst fruit pest in many local
tiles of the Bitterroot valley this year
is unquestionably the fruit-tree leaf
roller, says w. S. Regain, assistant
entomologist for the Montana Expert
ment Station. For several years this
pest has been increasing and at pres
ent the heaviest infestation is in the
University Heights neighborhood.
The leaf-rOller may be fought at
two times-when it is in the egg
stage and again in the caterpillar
stage. To kill the eggs a miscible oil
is used, while arsenate of lead is gen.
orally most successful in control of
the caterpillars. The eggs are
Matched usually in May, and the cat
erpillars are in evidence from May
until middle July.
In one place in the Bitterroot val
ley apple trees over several hundred
acres have been stripped of their

Boys and Girls Camps.

Farm boys and girls of Montana
will have opportunity again this year
to become members in one of the
big Junior Camps conducted under
direction of the Montana State Col
lege Extension Service. Last year
more than 900 boys and girls enjoyed
from four to ten days of recreation,
education and inspiration in Is of
these county camps in Montana.
The camps are conducted under the
boys and girls club department of the
extension service and generally are
locally managed by county agents.
Farm experts lecture on farm sub
jects and home subjects, trained
leaders direct the games and athletic
contests, and special leaders are pro-
vided for every phase of camp life.
Boys and girls are elected by lot from
each community, membership at the
camps ranging from 80 to 100. The
camp is held in some place of natural
charm and interest.

COOPERATIVE SELLING.

Tobacco growers Of Maryland
when asked to join co-opera-
tive marketing association are
not asked to try an experiment.
The scheme has been thoroughly
tried out and has demonstrated
its worth.
At first blush the consumer
might conclude that the growers
loss, when product is sold for a
song, is his gain and look ask
ance on any plan to hold prices
up.
But with tobacco, as with many
other commodities, it does not
follow that because a thing is
cheap on the farm it is also cheap
when it reaches the consumer.
The consumer is interested in
seeing that the producer gets a
fair price for his product, that
he is not at the mercy of buy
ing organization and that he
markets his goods in an orderly
way and not at forced sale.
In the most turbulent of to-
bacco fields, the hurley district
Of Kentucky, where arson and
armed attacks were resorted to
to keep tobacco off the market, a
cooperative association brought
peace and general satisfaction to
he crop growers. There is good
order where there used to be
chaos.
If the plan works we'll in Ken
lucky, it ought to work wei
here, Baltimore American.

THE FARMERS
OPPORTUNITY.

The season is now upon us
when every man with a spark of
energy is taking on a new ard
vigorous lease on life. This is
the season when the farmer, of
all men, is beginning to hustle
and make hay while the sun
shines. The farmer feeds the
world, but while the farmer isl
keeping alive those following
other avocations in life, he
should look OUT for his own vel
fare. This is the era of prog
ress and prosperity, when each
man is looking out for his own
advancement in the business
world and does the things that
will insure better living condi-
tions for himself and family and
turn his efforts to greater pros
perity and happiness.
The farmer should follow the
example set for him by those in
other walks of life and not be
content to drift along in life,
satisfied TO be alive and have a
roof over his head. He should
bend his every effort to make his
avocation not only the means of
getting bread to eat, but as a
means to prosperity, whereby
Ire and his family can enjoy life
to its fullest extent. The far
mer should use the means within
his grasp to bring about better
markets for his produce. He
should grasp every opportunity
that will mean the making of
living conditions better and hap
pier for his wife and children.
Farmers should not be satisfied
to make just enough money to-
pay his taxes and insurance, for
fertilizer and labor, food and
clothes for his family, but he
should strive to give his wife and
children an opportunity to enjoy
some of the Injuries of life and
give his children a better educa-
ton that they may be fitted to
take a more conspicuous and
prominent part in the great
drama of life.
The chief commodity in this
section of the State, upon which
the farmer depends to pay his
yearly expenses and live upon,
is tobacco. The opportunity, i'll
there ever was one for the farmer
of Southern Maryland to better
his condition, is now. There has
never been an opportunity like
the present time when the far
mer can fix the price of this com
modify and receive a decent and
remunerative return for his la
bors. There will likely never be
another such opportunity if this
one is not grasped. This oppor-
tunity lies open to the farmers
through the Tobacco Growers
Association. If the farmers of
this county want to get ahead,
prosper and better their living
conditions they must join the
Association and give it control
of the tobacco market, thereby
enabling them to fix the price,
just as the merchant does for his
goods.
Why not grade and sell your
own tobacco, Mr.. Farmer, at the
price you should receive for it.
AS said in the earlier part of this
article, this is the season when
all take a new lease on life. Mr..
Farmer, take on a new and Wig
orous lease of life this year and
batter down the walls that have
impeded your progress for over
a century and march along with
your organization the Tobacco
Growers Association-to the
goal you have been striving for
years with little hope until now
of fair and remuuerative fixed
prices for your tobacco.
