STATE COLLEGE AUTHORITIES
URGE TREATING OF FLAX SEED

There is a chance that flax seed not
treated before planting will return as
good yields of good seed as the seed
that has been treated, yet. it is urged
by Montana Experiment Station work
ers that the f~ormaldehyde treatment
be practiced as a means of insurance
against crop damage.
The seed is easily treated. Enough
seed to fill the seeder should be spread
in a trough or box and sprayed with
about one quart of the solution while
being stirred. The solution should
consist of one pound of f%ormaldehyde
to ~ gallons of water. After treat
ment the box should be covered for a
short time, then the seed stirred again,
preferably with a rake. County agents
can give more detailed directions and
tell of available supplies of Tornado
hyde, or methods Of making treating
boxes.

INFORMATION FOR
THE FLAX GROWERS
State College Specialists Contribute
Suggestions for Benefit of
Our Farmer Readers
Montana Making Rapid Strides
as Flax Producing State

Montana is one of the four leading
flax producing states of the Union and
there are predictions that in 1924 she
will go nearer the top in flax produc-
ton than ever before. 1t is estimated
that the 1924 acreage of flax in Mon
tana will be 40 per cent greater than
the acreage of 1923.
Naturally this increased acreage
will bring much old land into flax pro-
duction. New breaking is the ideal
land for flax, as it is free from bad
weeds the first year and newly turned
sod furnishes the ideal firm seed bed
that flax requires. Yet it has beer
proven that old land completes favor
ably with new breaking if it is in the
proper condition. Specialists Of the
Montana State College Extension Ser
vice have found that fallowed land
or corn land are suitable for flax grow
ing, since they both are comparatively
free from weeds, and are packed
firmly.
Potato land, or land used for any
other intertilled crop that may be kept
free from weeds the previous year, is
good flax land. This weed growth is
one of the most important things about
flax growing, for flax is a poor com
petitor against weeds. Where weeds
are thick, flax simply does not get a
good start and makes only a poor
yield.
1t is recommended that the land to
be planted to flax be given a shallow
cultivation as early as possible, to
start weed seeds to terminating. Then
Just before seeding to flax another
shallow cultivation should be given to
the land of all weeds. With the
weed seeds terminated and the weeds
out of the way, flax has a good oppor-
tunity. Shallow cultivation is urged
so that the ground shall not be stirred
deeply and the firmness of the seed
bed destroyed.
Seeding should be at the rate Of IS
or 20 pounds to the acre and the seed
should be planted not more than an
inch deep. Seeding should begin
soon after May 10 as possible,
but good flax yields are often obtained
by seeding as late as the middle Of
June.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-05-01
Consult County AGENT

The farmer who has flax seed for
sale, or who wants to purchase seed
for the 1924 crop, should inform the
nearest county agent at once County
agents are helping to make up flax
seed lists this month so that supply
and demand may be brought together
on the seed problem.
Because the acreage will be increas-
ed so greatly in Montana this year,
the supply of seed becomes a serious
problem. Extension Service workers
believe that acreage in Montana will
be limited by the amount of available
seed in the state.

PRACTICAL ADVICE
FOR THE GARDENERS

(Montana A. C. Extension Service)
When all or a large number of
the young plants in a hotbed sud
denly die off from no apparent
cause and at a time when they ap-
pear to be thriving, it is almost
certain that the damping-off di-
sease is to blame. A close examin-
alton of the dead or dying plants
will reveal a blackened CONSTRUCTED
area On the stem near the surface
of the ground. The disease acts
quickly, often wiping out an entire
hotbed over night. Improper venti-
lation is usually the u and the
only way to prevent o. check the
ravages of the disease is to see
that the hotbed is well ventilated
at all times. A warm, humid condi-
ton favors this disease and proper
ventilation will reduce both the
temperature and the amount of
moisture in the air. Hotbeds should
be watered in the morning of bright
sunny days, and it is better to wat
er plants thoroughly and not so of
ten than to apply light frequent
waterings.
Hotbed Operation
Proper temperature control is an
important matter in the operation
of a hotbed. All plants do not re-
quire the same amount of heat for
best results and certain plants re-
suire different heat conditions at
different times to insure the prop
err development. Temperature OF
from so to 60 degrees fahrenheit
are very satisfactory for cabbages,
cauliflower and lettuce, while to-
matoes and peppers do better at 10
degrees. Tomatoes may be inclined
to grow tall and slender under this
temperature and in that case 1t IS
better to check growth by reducing
the heat. The heat requirements
of celery are peculiar in that plants
do well under a wide range OF tenn
pe%rature but if below 65 degrees
the plants go to seed early IN the
season and thus the crop is ruined.
When the weather is warm the
hotbed should be opened as much
as possible and only on quiet cold {
DAYS should it remain entirely t
closed. Under severe conditions 1t {
be necessary to cover the hot
bed with straw, leaves, burlap or
ether material for protection. ;
The hardening-off process, to ac- :
custom plants to outside cond1- !
tons. should start about two weeks :
before the plants are to be set out. ::
This means exposing the plants to !:
outside conditions for a longer time :
each day until the sash is removed !.
entirely and at the same time re- |
lucing the water to check growth. :,
lust before transplanting a more J.
liberal supply of water may be ad- !.
led. :
