Chancellor M. A. Brannon, at a re-
cent meeting of the state board OF
education, praised the work in high
est terms, and declared that requests
for copies of the bulletin have been
received from many directions, in
Guiding Canadian provincial authori-
ties and university connections in
North Dakota and n~eighboring states.
C. C. Davis, state secretary of publ
city and agriculture, declared that
the bulletin is in his opinion the most
finished dry farming treatise which
has ever been published.
Dry farming no longer has the con-
fidence of a vast majority Of farm
ers who have made the attempt in
Montana, but the Investigations that
are revealed in the recent bulletin
seem to indicate that those who have
tenaciously held to the belief that the
north central or triangle" section of
Montana a be farmed without irri-
cation in it's most popular may
yet prove by achievement that their
blind faith was justified.
The bulletin is dedicated to that
@Iast broad sweep of the great plains
from the Bear Paw mountains to the
Rocky mountains, an are equal in
size to half the state of Iowa, and
having $4,000 farms grouped about
rs towns and cities in all or part OF
eight Montana counties. The "tri-
angle has it's apex at Great Falls
and it's side lines running through
Cut Bank to the left and Havre to
the right. The Canadian border is
the base.
How to Overcome Failure
Some of the most disastrous and
heart breaking experiences known to
farming have been the results of eff
forts to raise crops in this commun-
ity since 1915, when bounteous har-
vests resulted from an abnormal
rainfall. One misfortune followed
another, and, as the years ensued,
the outlook became so black and
hopeless that the belief has become
quite widespread that it is a futile
endeavor to attempt to build farms
where the forces of nature are SEEM
ingly arrayed in such ~unbreakable
opposition. The clamor has arisen
parts of the state to permit the
dry farming section to revert to the
open range in the hopes that the day
of the big sheepman and cattle man
will return.
The value of the dry farming bull
letin lies, not in it's recitation of the
that have more than deci-
mated the ranks of the farmers in
the triangle" but in the exposition
Of methods which the author believes
figures and statistics have proved
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-11-01

Most of the grain produced in Mon
tana will need some preparation be-
fore it is fed to f%attening beef cat
tie, says R. B. Millin, livestock spe-
cialist of the Montana Extension
Service.
Corn will probably need as little
preparation as any grain. In the
corn belt it is often fed on the ear or
shelled. The Montana ORR is harder
and in many cases it will pay to
crack OF grind it unless f%attening
hogs are following the cattle and
yer then it would probably pay to
grind all of the flint and some of
the harder dent varieties. A good
method is to grind the kernals and
cob up together into corn and cob
meal. Where the corn has already
been shelled simply cracking it will
give good results. If an especially
high finish is desired it may pay to
grind the shelled corn fine during the
last of the feeding period.
Wheat, barley and rye should al
ways be rolled, crushed or ground.
In Montana the kernals r usually
crushed but in many sections where
is used extensively, they
strongly prefer the rolled grain.
Oats are usually ground, especially
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-11-01

can be used with success to overcome
the causes of failure in the past.
Summer fallow, Wilson believes, is
likely to be proved an important fac
tor in the victory of the dry land
farmer, which he visualizes, but it is
not a cure-all, and he recites numer-
Gus substitutes for fallow.
AS auxiliary factors to summer
fallow there is urged "dry land irri-
CATION" which means the holding of
surplus water that follows rains or
the melting of snow in the spring
time, on the land by the building of
bikes, damming the coulees Or dry
creeks and the building of reservoirs.
Contour bikes upon comparatively
level bench lands can be utilized to
conserve moisture until the land has
received the highest possible benefit
from it.
Blaine Ferguson, an irrigating spe-
cialist in northern Montana, is quot
ed as estimating that more than one
half of the farms in northern Mon
tana could be developed to irrigate
from one to 100 acres.
Power on the Farm
Farming of vast acreages is favor
ed by the author of the bulletin, who
expresses the belief that by the use of
large teams enough acreage can be
titled so that the farmer will have
sufficient quantity of grain or other
crops to sell to carry him over the
bad years. No expression of prefer
ence is made as between the policy
of using large teams and tractors as
general thing, the author believing
that under certain conditions it may
be more profitable to use horseflesh
and in others to employ the tractor.
a farmer is competent to keep
the tractor in operation without the
expense of hiring a machinist it is
fairly certain that the horse will
prove the most economical form of
power, Wilson states. Where large
teams are used the farmer should
have pasturage sufficient to care for
the horses when not employed, and
to care for the increase and feed
should also be handled.
Rotation of crops, the possibility
Of success in livestock farming in the
triangle" the building of financial
reserves, fruit growing, gardening,
and farming tools, and many other
agricultural problems are discussed
the bulletin.
In the bulletin many who have
cad it find an affirmative answer
o the question which the author says
'armers and business men of the
triangle" are asking, us this a
arming country?"
Millions of dollars have been in
-ested in the country, whose future
ndustrially and agriculturally is be-
ieved to depend on the ability of the
intrepid farmer, assisted by the col
eye and agricultural department Of
to solve the problems that
made so far for little more than
hopes and failure.

While many farmers give little at
tention to the time when their cows
freshen, it is advantageous to them
to do so, says ]. o. Tretsven, dairy
specialist of the Montana Extension
Service. While conditions necessari-
ly regulate the time when COWS fresh
en-, records show that greater produc-
ton is obtained from fall or winter
freshening.

trates this point, was compiled by the

cLOUDBURSTs SOUTH OF
TOWN WERE SEVERE

Probably as tail-end of a severe
thunder storm during which light
ming played havoc in Reno yester-
day, several cloudbursts occurred
south of this city yesterday which
are said to have played particular
Ned. One at the Auburn ranch,
operated by P. A. O'Brien, tore
things up generally, creating the
greatest loss in running his pipe line
and water supply, while another oc-
CURED on Clear Creek. A third
on Table Mountain is said to have
been more severe than remembered
by the Oldest old-timer, literally
tearing the mountain to pieces as
the great bodies of water rushed
over the earth and rocks seeking a
lower level. A strange feature Of
the storm is that at the Prida ranch,
four miles from the Auburn ranch,
not a drop Of rain fell and the crew
Of men went on serenely making
hay. No great monetary loss was
sustained, SO far as has been
learned.
