Some Practical Ideas for Devisimg
of Efficient Tillage Machinery

level, slickers are employed which ex-
tend anywhere from "a to 40 feet in
width. The wider types are usually
supported by rollers or wheels in the
place of the iron runners used on the
smaller machines.
For Montana conditions, an i'm
proved type of smaller gooseneck is
recommended for attention. While
the ordinary slicker has been found
to do the work and is being used in
this state in the medium to heavy
soils, the dumping of the machine is
quite atsk. The usual practice is
to dump the machine in windows and
later work the windows lengthwise.
The dumping involves the tedious job
of alighting from the tailboard, per-
hitting the machine to dump, pulling
the blade into the soil again and get
ting on the tailboard ready to repeat
the operation at the next windrow
The illustration shows the improved
Walla Walla type in two sections but
the principle may be applied to a sin
gle section as we'll. 1t will be noted
that the improvement consists of the

of course, regulated by the position of

County agents can give more detailed
regarding the construc-

more convenient model.
While the ordinary double rod
weeder has proven it's merits on med
ium to light soils, the U-iron double
rod weeder is recommended over the
wooden runner type. The factors in
it's favor are: better clearance, lighter
darft, greater ease in handling, less
clogging, more substantial and dur

The manufactured duckfoot type of

and many of such implements are in
use but there still remains large
number of farmers who are seeking
an efficient implement at the very
minimum outlay of cash.
Homemade implements are attract
ing considerable interest in Montana
and an especial interest is being
aroused in some of the ingenious de-
vices worked out by farmers of the
states of Oregon and
Washington. There are at least
three of such implements used by
farmers to the west which will be
worth considering in Montana; the
duckfoot cultivator, the
improved gooseneck slicker and the
U-iron double rod weeder.
The homemade duckfoot cultivator
offers an excellent opportunity for

etc. AS can be seen from the the

pie and should offer no difficulties to
the ordinary farmer. County agents
may be called upon to supply any
details of construction which are not
clear. This double rod weeder was
observed in operation on stubble pre-
Viously disked and duckfooted and it
was apparent that this type of sta
tionary rod weeder is outstanding in
it's adaptation to conditions where a
stationary rod weeder may be used.

of weeds to slip by. Ten-inch shovels
are none too wide on most summer
fallowed fields.
Wheat growers in the neighbor-
hood of Walla Walla, Washington
and Pendleton, Oregon, for many
years have used the "gooseneck
slicker' for keeping their fallow
fields in proper condition. In the
Walla Walla district these slickers
seldom reach a greater width than
two eight-foot sections. Around
Pendleton where the land is more

No rod weeder is designed to handle
heavy or stony land.
1t should be remembered that time
Illness is the all-important factor in
the use of these or any other impIe-
ments. Cultivation when weeds are
small will reduce tillage requirements
to a great degree. The chief consid-
Grafton is an implement which will
get rid of the weeds effectively and
economically while they are small
and before they have had a chance
to steal much of the moisture and the
soil fertility. Very frequently the
cause of dissatisfaction with summer
fallow comes from too late blowing
and tardy cultivation.

cash outlay of from SIS to $35 will
furnish the material necessary to
transform the old grain drill into a
serviceable, efficient summer tillage

that is used, the drill shoes or disks

Ideal weather conditions, combined
with the fact that the young crop OF

They said they were investigating

COAST GUARD URGED
TO END RUM RUNNING
Admiral Billiard Says Task Is DIFF.

Make Good.

Describing the duty" of stopping
liquor smuggling as the most diff
cult, trying and disagreeable" task
assigned to the United States Coast
Guard, the commandant, Rear Ad-
miral F. C. Billiard, in his Christmas
message to officers and men, declares:
The Coast Guard must hang on to it
with bulldog tenacity until the job is
done"
Admiral Billiard predicted that the
coming year would see the Coast
Guard get firm grip on the big
job Of stopping rum running on our
coasts.
THE difficulties and discourage
ments that confront you are fully ap-
preciated by me-" he said, "and I
realize completely what you are up
against. But all those handicaps
should make US more than ever de-
termined to see this thing through,
thoroughly and expeditiously, for the
honor of the service.
"If this anti-smuggling job were
an easy one that could be carried out
without any discouragements or set
backs, not much credit would ac-
crue to the service for it's successful
performance. The task is so big and
so difficult that it must appeal to the
fighting instincts of the Coast Guard"
Admiral Billiard said he did not re-
gard the campaign against rum-run-
ners-. as the most important duty
with which the guard was charged.
The other duties include rescue and
assistance work and beach patrol.

PARIS, December 25.-Cologne area
Is not to be evacuated on January 10,
because, according to the French
government, Germany has not full
filed the conditions set forth by the
Versailles treaty.
Premier Herriot submitted to the
cabinet this morning a memorandum
on the control commissions official
report, declaring that evacuation was
impossible, and to this attitude the
ministry agreed.
A letter from Premier Herriot
dealing with Germany's failure to
observe her obligations was read
yesterday to the foreign relations
committee of the Chamber of Depu
ties. 1t gave the grounds on which
the French government approached
the British government with view
to prolongation of the occupation of
the Cologne zone after January 10.
Declaring that Germany had failed
in her disarmament obligation dur
ing the occupation of the Ruhr, the
letter asserted that fresh infractions
were noted after Germany had ac-
cepted the Dawes plan. The ambas-
sadors' council on September 90, 1924
demanded that Germany carry out
her obligations on nine specified
points, but there was no sign that
the Reich had complied with this
demand.
Further serious failures on the
part of Germany had been noted
Thus, tho manufacture of rifles,
which is prohibited, was found to
be going on, and secret spots of arms
had been discovered, notably at Es-
sen. Furthermore, the effectiveness
of the Reichswehr Cadres were in

by the treaty. go

receive the Official reports of the

of the court was not made public.
The court has met in the offices of
Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett,
commandant at the navy yard. and
its sessions have been surrounded by
secrecy. At no time have the mem

No new witnesses were seen to en-

There was a happy pair of dogs at

been in suspicion cells" where dogs
are placed when suspected of being

Around about noon, their cell doors

first and the others were chorusing 6
"farewells' in sundry tones. But as
soon as they got out of the cell room
and headed-not for the death cell
section-but for the open air and
freedom they realized that this Is the
time of year when there's a. little
extra something in the hearts Of men
