The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-05-03

Stubble land can be worked earlier
than plowed land. Some of the bet
ter summerfallow farmers make a
practice of disking a portion of the
stubble which is to be plowed later.
This is a good practice for that field
which will be plowed last and prob
ably later than desired, because of
the necessity of stopping for spring
seeding. Disking also is an advant-
age, Mr.. Ogaard says, when stubble
and rubbish is apt to result in a poor
connection between the plowed layer
and the subsoil.
Some farmers believe that weed
growth, p1owed under, Increases the
fertility of the soil, but it is we'll to
remember that the gain in soil fer
tility is more than lost in the soil
moisture that these weeds have taken
from the field. Thus it is always de-
to keep down weeds on the
Removal of dead Russian thistles

ing. The so-called "flip-flop" rake
enables the farmer to clean a wide
swath, placing the thistles in wind
rows which may be punched up and
burned. This "flop-flop" rake was
one of the interesting exhibits on the
dry farm demonstration train in
north Montana this spring. 1t is des-
cribed in the new edition of "Home
Made Implements" a circular issued
by the Montana Extension Service
at Bozeman. Another handy device
for this purpose is made by reversing
the sections of an iron harrow so that
the teeth can be slanted forward,
catching and holding the thistles.
The sections are hitched to regular
hitch beam of the harrow by long
chains SO that the thistles may be
burned as they are raked without
burning woodwork or getting the
blaze close to the teams.
Any manure that may be available
for spreading on the land can well
be applied evenly and not too thickly

INA FARM PAGE
From the Montana State College

r ARLY spring is the time to plan on the following for 1928, says
r. A. ]. Ogaard, crops specialist for the Montana State College Ex-
tension Service. Success in following usually may be traced to
timellness OF blowing, knowledge of factors in following and the doing
of all work at the proper season.
Here are a few things which Mr.. Ogaard says should be kept in
mind in the treatment of land to be fa1lowed this year: First, weed ger
mination should be encouraged, then the weeds killed out before they
attain size and rob the soil of moisture and plant food; second, the soil
should be opened UP SO that it may catch and hold the greatest possible
of rainfall in May and June. This means a surface of cods
rubbish. The dust mulch should be avoided as much as possible
as it is impenetrable to water and is more apt to blow.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-05-03

acreage of land, but, if good yields
of alfalfa can be obtained, the cost
may be increased due to the greater
amount of labor and to the expensive
equipment required for handling the
silage crop.

In a game that will long linger in

fans that jammed the new Audito-

forty minutes or strenuous playing
managed to nose out the Perth Am
boy Five by a three point margin,
the final score being 33 TO 80. The
local representatives led for the
major portion Of the game and at no
time during the game, excepting the
final three minutes, did the cham

when Hank" Thomas made good a
foul try. giving the local outfit the
lead which although tied several
times during this half was never
overcome and after clever playing by
both sides found the home team on
the long end of a II to 9 score. The
Celtic quintet was held ~scoreless
from the field during this stanza but
managed to part the shreds for nine
tallies out of fourteenAtries from the
fifteen foot line. Pete Hanson heaved
a long one for the only doubIe-deck-
er Of his team in this session while
his teammates were scoring nine
single pointers out of fifteen free
tries.
The second canto started in whirk-
wind fashion, the Celtics cutting
down the locals lead. going into the
lead themselves by a solitary point
and then losing the lead again,
Hank Thomas came through with
two double-deckers. one from the
center of the court that put the Local
basketeers in the fore again. frankie
Boyle also registered a double tally
Consistent foul shooting by both
duintets kept the score even, Boyle
getting five out of six in this session
Leo Malone annexed five out of eight
while Thomas contributed two and
