Pure Seed Show to be Held

state, and in connection with the seed
Improvement being carried on by the
association and the Montana State
College Extension Service.
The annual Pure Seed show is
considered one of the important ed
ucational agents in the state in bring
| ing directly TO the farmer, the value
of pure seed. The exhibits there are
truly representative of the grain as
| it comes from the field and, accord
ing to the rules of the show, must be
identical with grain in the bin. The
grain and seeds on exhibit have been
grown according to the rules of the
Montana Seed Growers association,
have passed rigid inspections of the
association, and before it is sold as
registered seed it must be inspected
again and marketed in sealed bags
properly labeled and graded.
The aim of the Pure Seed show
and the Montana Seed Growers as
ISOLATION is to improve the seed being
planted in Montana to replace the
common ordinary seed that is being
used with pure seed. The method is
to demonstrate to the farmer the
value of pure seed from the stand
point of higher yields, better quality
product, freedom from weed seed
and Objectionable matter, and all
around dependabiiity. 1t is contend
ed that much of the grief and dock
age losses that have come to the
older growing sections of the coun
try can be avoided in Montana if |
farmers will plant pure seed that is
free from weed seeds.

INCREASING THE
BEEF VALUE OF OUR
GRAZING CATTLE.
(From Montana State CoIIege)

w WHETHER to produce beef cat.
nv tie that dress out from So tc
st per cent of salable meat
or cattle whose carcasses yield as
low as 48 per cent salable meat, is
the question which every producer of
beef cattle must decide when he
makes decision between a scrub
and pure bred bull, says G. N.
Arnett, head of the livestock depart
ment of the Montana State College.
This particular phase of the ques-
ton as to the use of pure bred bulls
is well brought out, says Mr.. Arnett,
| in a recent statement by E. w.
Sheets. acting chief of the division of
animal husbandry of the United
a recent visit to the Sni-A-Bar expert
mental farms in Missouri. Mr..
Sheets said:
"Of interest in this connection is
"a recent compilation of dressing
yields of livestock which shows that
average market cattle, at the time of
the last census yielded 53.6 per
cent of their live weight in the form
of dressed carcass. Medium steers
dressed about SIS per cent, and good
market steers about So per cent, and
the international show two-year-olds
66 per cent.
cat the other extreme are mark
ct cows and heifers of common
grades dressing 4S per cent, and the
Gamers are even lower than that.
Here we have, in other words, rangel
of fully 18 per cent in the dressing
yields of cattle. Stated otherwise
it means that the difference in con-
formation, which is due chiefly to
combined with feeding !
means 18 pounds differnce in meat |
Weld for every 100 pounds of animal |
But even that difference is small |
with the financial differ
enceN due to the financial difference
due to the relative value of cattle in
different grades.
"a typical calculation between
good steers and common steers shows
hat difference of six per cent of H
iressed weight in favor of the good
steer amounts to about 40 per cent
n increased value in favor, of course,
If the better animal. Here is an
economic condition worthy of SER
GUS study. It plainly places a sub
tantial premium on the breeders |

WHAT A FARMER IN
DELTA COUNTY DOES

The following very interesting and
profitable article appeared in the last
issue of the New Reclamation Era 1t
was written by r. E. Henderson of
Delta county and contains may facts
and ideas which will be valuable to
other farmers.
After just a few years experience
with irrigation we were thoroughly
convinced that a heavy tonnage of
crops could be produced, as 200 sacks
of potatoes, 200 sacks of onions, so to
co bushels of wheat and so to 100
bushel of oats to the acre were COM
mon, and now, after 13 years exper-
ience in the irrigation district of the
Uncompahgre project, we attribute
successful farming to four things, viz,
sufficient fertilization, through cult
vation, proper irrigation and crop
rotation.
The proper fertilizer for this district
is barnyard manure, and in order to
have sufficient quantity for our
ranch Of 100 acres We keep 80 dairy
COWS, which, with the young stock,
produce large amount of fertilizer
We use all the straw produced on the
ranch, as well as large quantities
which we purchase from our neigh
bors for bedding for the stock, and
that soon becomes fertilizer too
Last spring, not having enough fer
tilizer OF our own production we haul
ed a large quantity from the Holly
Sugar Co, feed yards at Delta, putting
500 tons on IS acres of land.
Our principal crop at the present
time is sugar beets. Last year land
that had been properly fertilized pro-
duced Z tons Of beets more per acre
than the land with the same care pro
duced without fertilizer, the ferulzed
land producing Is to 20 tons per acre.
Thorough cultivation begins with deep
fall plowing OF as much land as pos.

sible. This is followed by a covering
of manure and then double-disked'
Land to be plowed in the spring Is
first manured, then double-disked,
plowed and narrowed at least twice
with driver on harrow, then rolled
and seeded, and followed by seven or
eight civilizations, as well as hand lab
or of Mexicans, six of whom are en-
ployed on our ranch. This system OF
plowing applies to all other crops be
sides sugar beets. Thorough cultiVa-
ton conserves moisture, hence re
quires less irrigation.
Our present crop of beets, Al acres,
was cultivated seven to eight times be-
fore July IS.
Irrigation is an art learned only by
experience and common sense, which
teaches one when and how to irrigate.
Our dairy herd besides increasing
the productiveness of our land, brings
us an income of over 500 a year per
COW, so it can be seen that the COW
plays a large part in successful farm
ing.
A large part of the feed is produced
on the ranch, corn for ensilage, beet
tops, alfalfa some small grains, and
tame grass pasture, the acreage OF
the latter to be increased until we
shall have enough pasture for our
herd.
Our ranch is divided into II or IA
plots. Our farming equipment con-
sists OF a complete set OF up-to-date
machinery, and power is furnished by
seven strong horses. Some may thlnk
that is too many horses for a small
ranch, but when it is taken into con
sideration that last year they moved
$50 tons of beets. 100 tons of ensilage,
$50 tons of beet pulp, 500 tons Of fert-
ilizer. 100 tons of hay, grain, mill feed
and numerous other things to be NOV
ed by horsepower, it will readily be
seen that there is work for all. Seven
ty tons Of milk We're taken from the
ranch by other means.
We are located on an electric light
line which furnishes light for all our
buildings, power for a milking ma
chine, cream separator, and washing
machine, and heat for range and irons.
one OF the greatest hindrances to
the success Of our valley is the fact
that We have too few home builders
and too many tenants. One can not
expect to reap crops from land that
has nothing put back on it, and as
the average tenant has poor improve
ments, must pay high rent, and plans
to move. or at least does move to a
new location nearly every sprj ng.
there is little opportunity or incentive
to build up theland; hence many Of
our ranchers are in a deplorable con
dition.
BY following the plans we have sug-
gested we are able to produce crops,
but the marketing end of the game is
our most serious problem for all crops
except sugar beets.
