LET US Do OUR PART FOR A BUMPER
BEET CROP IN THE BIG HORN BASIN,

By c F. johnson, Resident Manager, Lowell Factory
We will soon be in the midst of planting the largest acreage of beets eve
sown in the Big Horn Basin. The growers quite generally plan to put
their beet seed in their best land and with due care, unless the unforeseen
happens, the average tonnage should exceed last seasons.
1t has been the custom in the Big Horn Basin to irrigate before plant
ing, but I have about come to the conclusion that we will gain from six
to ten days by planting in the dry and irigating up. This meal quite a
little advantage when you consider the normally short growing season
in this territory.
OF course, where the soil is so dry tina. it is impossible to prepare a
ing before planting.
Where the grower is planting in the dry soil and intends to irrigate
the beets up, the drill should be equipped with the dftcher attachments.
The ditcher may throw dirt over onto the row, covering the seed to a
harrow after the irrigation.
AS soon as the field is dry enough to allow a team to be put on it, the
harrow should be used, at an angle across the rows. This will drag
the dirt from the and deposit it in the low places or bitches, leaving
your seed about the proper depth, and the field will be in a nice mellow
condition.
I also want to emphasize the advantage Of early planting and the fact
that the earlier paintings II properly prepared seed beds gnerany yield
the best tonnage Planting should not be delayed now, but be sure the
seed bed is firm and well packed.
The agricultural force of the Lowell Factory is very DESTROYS of aiding
man in your district or the Factory Office help you with your problems
We shall be glad of the opportunity to serve you.

American Silver Still Favored

The recent announcement by the Di-
rector of mint that purchases of silver
by the government at 81 per ounce
under the terms of the Pittman Act
would probably be discontinued about
July 1st was something of bomb
she'll to domestic silver producers, "
according to the Engineering & Min
ing Journal Subsequently Sena-
tor Pittman was quoted as disputing
the figures of the Director of the Mint,
which showed only 10000, 900 ounces
of American silver still to be purchased
at 81 per ounce, claiming this figure to
be Ia, 600, 900 ounces short of the proper
total. In this same connection a Tono-
pah correspondent wired: Smelling
companies have notified Western Ore
Purchasing Company they expect to
pay dollar for silver to about July 1st.
but probably will begin making partial
provisional payment during May. They
declare expiration date of Pittman
