LET CONCRETE HELP
TIGHTEN FARM WORK

Good farm buildings are a great
factor in conserving farm products
and the energy required in producing
them. A damp stable, a rough floor,
a broken fence o r a tumbledown corn
crib is an aggravation at any time
but particularly during the busy sea-
son when time is at such a premium
that only temporary repairs can be
made. Such repairs usually are for
gotten until another break and fur
Their loss occur, and it is due to them
that the feeling of encouragement
and monotonous grind of the farm
makes itself evident.
Concrete is acknowledged to be
the most permanent building mater
ial known. 1t resists the action of
fire, water, storm and wear. At the
same time it is a material suitable
to all the building requirements of
the farm and so easily handled that
the average person can get good re-
with it by following a few sim
pie instructions. Because concrete
endures, care should be taken to pro-
luce with it the best possible finish

One of the first things to know

BUMBER GRAIN CROP
SAYS CHESTER C. DAVIS

"Crop prospects in northeastern
Montana r the best they have
ever been at this time of the year,
said Chester @. Davis, state COM
missioner of agriculture, on his re-
turn to Helena for ma week spent
in attending farm bureau meetings
in Roosevelt, Sheridan, Daniels and
Richland counties.
Mr.. Davis said the crops, which
consist principally of spring wheat
and corn, certainly look wonderful,
that there has been plenty of mois-
ture so far this year and il the
rains keep UP large harvests are
assured.
According to Mr.. Davis, the
wheat acreage has not been ma
terially decreased, although there
has been considerable seed disced
into stubble ground which will
make good if plenty of rain falls.
There has been a surprising in
crease in corn acreage, he said, ex-
tending clear up to the Canadian
line.
The wheat production in this
portion of the state in 1922 was
enormous and the farmers are still
hauling wheat, said Mr.. Davis, one
elevator at Scobey receiving 1000
bushels of wheat the day he spent
in that town. He estimates that
when the last of the 1922 CROP shall
have been hauled the Scobey ele-
vators will have handled 2,5OO,OO

In most of those counties there

BACTERIA NEEDED
TO GROW LECUMES
CORRECT SOIL ORGANISMS MAY
BE SUPPLIED BY FIELD
SOIL INCUBATION
when New Legumes Are Grown For
the First Time in a Locality, the
Soil Should BE Inoculated With the
Proper Bacteria.

For the most successful growth OF
alfalfa, clover, beans, peas and other
Ieguminous crops the proper kinds
of bacteria should be abundant in the
soil. When new legumes are grown
for the first time in a locality the
soil should be %inoculated with the
proper bacteria by artificial inocula-
ton. In some regions soils are al
ready supplied with the proper soil
organisms; for example, in many
southern localities artificial inocula-
ton for cowpeas is necessary and
in sections of the middle west bac-
terra which thrive on the roots of
clover and alfalfa are already pres
ent.
Artificial incubation can be &C
complished by spreading soil from a
well-established field, where the par
ticular legume which is to be grown
has been successful, upon the new
land to be planted with that legume,
and also by the use of pure cultures
of the proper bacteria. The United
States department of agriculture is
prepared to supply enough of the
pure culture to inoculate one bushel
of seed, and this culture can be OBJ
tanned in bottles which contain COM
pIete directions for use. Application
blanks for these cultures may be OBJ
tanned from the department at Wash
ington, D. G. Z
Too much attention cannot be |
given to the preparation of the field :
for leguminous crops. In a we'll t
prepared seed bed the young plants q
get the best start and the necessary .
bacteria will thrive. Sour soils him q
der and often entirely prevent the L
development of the beneficial soil or d
ganisms. TIE remedy this condition '
application of lime is necessary. a
Any kind of lime may be used to adj =
vantage, but usually finely ground a
limestone is applied. a
When a field is known to contain +
the bacteria suitable for a certain 4
crop-for example, alfalfa az
shown by the presence of numerous u
nodules upon the roots of alfalfa -"
plants growing there, the soil is de-
for the incubation of other $,
fields upon which alfalfa is to be b
for the first time. Such soil, OIL
we'll sifted, can readily be applied to o.
the new field through the fertilizer ,,
attachment on a drill. Two hundred
pounds or more of sifted field soil 81
will be sufficient for an acre and is al
best applied through the hose. The to
o~roadcasting of the inoculated soil Il
by hand will require a larger guam n
