Cultivating Test Plots For
Eliminating Mosaic Disease.

/ and distorted and are often blotched
With light green and yellow spots.
The plants become dwarfed and are
more bushy than normal ones, and
yields are decreased. 1t is very sell
dom that plants are killed by the di-
sease.
The cause of the disease is un-
known but it has been found that
Mosaic may be spread by transferring
the juice from an affected plant to
a healthy one, and therefore insects
such as plant lice, may become car
riers. This infection is carried over
winter in the seed. 1t has been found
that seed from infected plants will
usually develop about fifty per cent
of diseased plants.
Mr.. Morris advises that every bean
grower start a seed plot. This
should commence by the selection of
plants in the field, choosing only
such plants as are plainly free from
the disease, having high production
records, are early maturing and that
ripen uniformly.
This seed plot should be large
enough to furnish all seed required
for the following year. Throughout
the growing season the plot should
be frequently inspected, %rogueing out
all plants showing any symptoms of
disease as soon as they are discoy-
cred. 1t may never be possible to to-
tally eliminate the disease by this
method, but it can be controlled and
the yields materially increased by
following this plan.
The seriousness of the disease and
The Importance of taking prompt
measures are emphasized
by Mr.. Morris. In certain bean grow
ing sections of the country losses
rom Mosaic disease run as high as
per cent. In some districts of
Montana, losses of five per CEN or
have been reported and this
nay be expected to increase consider
IDLY unless the disease is checked.

SEED PRODUCTION
GROWS IN STATE

lT HE raising and production of al
falfa seed may reach the satur-
alton point within a few years
in southeastern Montana if ranchers
of that section keep on increasing
their acreage from season to season,
is the opinion Of E. A. Eacock, who
resides nea Stacey, south of Miles
City. Mr.. Eacock has ~ sacks of
seed that is ready for delivery, he
said, while a number of his neigh
pors are also contemplating market
ing their crops. Prices have sagged
a little, he stated, and some of the
seed raisers are waiting for a better
registered and certified.
1t is a remarkable fact, said Mr..
Eacock, that Montana can raise a
high quality of alfalfa seed, and the
impetus given to the industry dur
ing the past few years has served to
attract considerable attention to the
southeastern Montana farmer. The.
quality of the seed has obtained a
high rating, as a dependable product
among the large consumers, the dis
~tributing houses of the east A large
number of the ranches in the country
south of Miles City that heretofore
have raised alfalfa for forage only
are now allowing seed to mature and
are harvesting the crop. The value
of having the seed registered and
certified is also recognized.
Shipments to date from the terri
tory between Hysham and Baker of
alfalfa seed amounts to sever car
loads, according to estimates com
piled locally. 1t is anticipated that
there are about % additional car
loads to be shipped before the seal
son closes. These will be divided in
to four carloads of registered and
certified and 18 of common. Each
car is estimated to be worth about
$4,000. The present price quota
tions are quoted as follows: Regis
tered, So cents; certified, 80 cents;
and common from 18 to 20 cents.
Clover seed is being quoted: white
blossom from 8 to 9 cents, and yell
low blossom from Z to 8 cents.

GOOD HIGHWAYS SAVE MONEY,
THE FEDERAL BUREAU SHOWS

Good roads save gasoline, says the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The bureau of public roads
has made a study to determine Just
how much value good roads are to
the motorist in the matter of saving
gasoline. They have found that
where a gallon of gasoline is con-
sumed on a poor road only seven
tenths of a gallon will be required on
a road with a good surface. In other
words, for every dollar spent for
gasoline on a poor road,

Sentence of Death ON
Prairie Dog to His
Peculiar Food Habits

A prairie dogs appetite is re-
sponsibIe for his sentence to death
and the possible extinction of his
race by the department of agricul-
ture. The biological survey shows
that there is not a single redeem
ing trait about a prairie dog, at
least in so far as his food habits
are concerned.
After years of experimenting, the
bureau of biological survey has con
cluded that the tastes of the prairie
dog are so similar to those of cattle
that the two classes of animals can
not live on the same pasture lands,
so the prairie dog must go. He is
a serious robber of the grazing lands
of the west.
Especially in times of drought the
competition between the two becomes
deadly. The tests indicate that the
rodents do not eat anything that
the cattle do not, and further, that
the two eat the grasses in the same
order of preference.
The bureau is vigorous in it's pros
ecution of rodents that are a detri-
ment to the livestock industry and
ny ouCu dCllOu saves TIE UNI en-
ormous losses from such pests an
