From Montana State College

MYTH a jump from $500 acres
NJ in 1922 to $4,000 acres il
w 1923 and with prospects of 6
four or five-fold acreage increase in
1924 over the previous year, the
field bean is becoming n of the
important crops in certain sections
of Montana. So far, bean growing
has been confined largely to the
Yellowstone Valley, particularly the
Billings area, but interest is spread
ing to other comparatively low alti-
tude sections of the state where the
season is long enough to mature the
crop.
Beans are being grown on both
irrigated and non-irrigated land, with
best results being obtained on the
former, according to Investigations
carried on by the Montana Expert
ment Station. OF the $4,000 acres of
field beans grown in Montana in
1928, approximately two-thirds were
on irrigated land and produced at
the rate of 81 bushels or 1890
pounds per acre, while those grown
on non-irrigated land average IL
bushels or $50 pounds per acre.
OF the different varieties of field
beans the Great Northern is quite
generally grown and recommended.
This variety is adapted to the con
ditions found in the lower valleys of
the state and natures in approx
mately los days.
Beans fill in well in the cropping
system and at the Huntley expert
ment farm it was found that wheat
following beans yielded as we'll as
after summer fallow. A suggested
rotation for the irrigated farm for a
five or six year period is: small grain,
beans, small grain, alfalfa. Beans
are a cash crop which can be handled
largely by machinery and bean straw
has considerable feeding value for
live stock.
Professor Clyde Mckee, agrono-
mist of the Montana Experiment sta
ton, gives the following suggestions
for growing field beans:
Deans thrive best on loan soils.
Such soils are fertile, warm up early
in the spring and at the same time
are retentive of moisture and porous
enough to permit both aeration and
I1OWeNcI, Ucduo may pO
grown successfully on clay soils, pro-
viding there is ample fertility, suffi-
cient aeration and good drainage.
Compact soils, because of the
poor moisture and aeration condi-
lions, cause beans to terminate
poorly and to make a stunted growth.
Alfali has somewhat the same effect.
Poorly drained land even when not
accompanied by alkali is not adapted
to growing beans. The excess water
keeps out the air, prevents the soil

AND CLARK STONE
WASFAKED BY STUDENTS

The Choteau Acantha tells of
the recent expose of a hoax perpe-
trated on historians, as follows:
Last winter a report came from
Dutton of the finding of a large
rock three miles from that place
with the inscription in crude let
ters: "Lewis & Clark, 1906"
Great excitement reigned for a
time in state historical circles.
Dave Hilger, secretary of the state
historical society, got nor shop
ped up about the matter than he
did over the year he discovered
Montana and Dog Creek in the Ju-
dith Basin. An examination of the
rock and inscription was made by
Colonel Stanford of Great Falls,
assisted by DR.. j. A. Sweat of
Dutton, and Sam Solid. A chance
clue investigated by the two latter
disclosed that several budding his
torians of the Dutton schools had
read not wisely but too well of the
history of the Lewis & Clark ex-
petition over a century ago. They
chiseIed out the legend on the
granite boulder, rubbed earth and
coffee grounds on the words to
give them a true historical flavor
and look, and to make it COM
plete carefully secured moss and
lichen from the surrounding earth
and. rocks and glued it on the
boulder, giving an appearance Of
age.
Confessions followed and the
guilty ones were turned over to
their parents. The markings
which are said to have followed
were more painful than historical
il reports coming from Dutton are
correct.

FARMERS LOOKING
TOWARD MONTANA

A recent article in the Country
Gentleman, entitled Bargain Day
in Montana" is attracting inquiries
from all over the country relative tc
agricultural opportunities in Mon
tana.
One letter received today by Dar
A. MILESTONE, director of publicity
for Montana, from Amarillo, Texas
states a desire to purchase 10000
acres of low priced land suitable fol
wheat growing. Other communica-
lions have been pouring into Mr..
Whetstone's office daily.
AS a result of these queries, and
in order to be able to fully and hon
estIy acquaint his correspondents
with the true situation in Montana,
Mr.. milestone is sending out a let
ter to county agents, farmers, bank
ers and other reliable individuals
asking detailed data on available
farms.
His letter follows:
within the past two weeks a
number of inquiries have been di-
rected to this department, by men
who appear to have adequate means
to engage in large farming opera
lions, or in the sheep and cattle
industry in Montana. Most of these
letters have been prompted by read
ing the article in the Country Gen
tleman entitled, Bargain Days in
Montana" which stated, as you re-
call, that there were many chances in
all parts of the state to ecure extern
sive and desirable tracts for farm
ing and stock raising.
st now have on my desk three or
four letters from men who claim to
have $4,000 and $4,000 available for
investment, and a Texas firm asks if
it is possible to secure a 1,2O0-acre
tract at a reasonable figure.
t"These inquiries indicate that men
of means are commencing to turn
their attention to this state. We
must do all in our poyer to stimulate
interest of this sort and give them
definite, dependable information as
to the opportunities to be found in
the various sections of Montana.
Will it be possible for you to assist,
by securing and forwarding to me at
the earliest possible date a list of
large tracts that might prove attrac-
tive to those who wish to engage in
the above lines, the conditions that
might seem advantageous and the
approximate figures at which large
tracts for either farming or grazing
might be secured?
eff you are not in position to do
this, would you kindly suggest the
name of some one in your section
who could be depended upon to fur
nish the kind of information that
can be impaired without hesitation
to those making inquiries about that
particular part of the state, and who
will take the pains to reply direct
to those making such inquiries"
