the least time elapsing between
cuttings and planting the better
The Montana Experiment Station
carried on experiments last year
which showed that seed cut two
days before planting decreased the
yield 66 per cent, and seed cut Is
days before planting brought about
a 90 per cent decrease in yield.
Seed cut and planted the same day
gave the best results. Other places
have not reported the same results
as those obtained by the Montana
Experiment Station at Bozeman but
to be on the safe side it is best to
plant potatoes as soon after cutting
as possible.
Q. When should the garden be
planted?
A. The harder, frost resisting
vegetables may be planted as soon
as the ground is in condition to be
worked into a good seed bed but it
does little good to plant seed early
unless the soil is warm enough to
provide proper conditions for germ
nation. Lettuce, onions, kohlrabi,
peas, radishes, rutabagas, spinach
and turnips are some of the common
vegetables that may be planted
early. Plants such as beans, Gu
cumbers, sweet corn, melons,
squashes, pumpkins, eggplant, pep
pers and tomatoes, cannot stand
frost and should not be planted UNI
til frost danger is past. An inter
mediate group including parsnips,
beets, carrots, chard and satisfy,
will stand a little frost and may be
planted between the hardy and ten
der crops.
@. When do potato bugs appear
in the spring?
A. Potato bugs live over winter
in the mature stage and appear
when warm weather arrives in the
spring. Thus it happens that potato
plants will sometimes be attacked
when they first appear above the
ground. In the higher attitudes
this is the only brood to appear; in
the eastern part of the state a sec
ond brood may appear later in the
summer. Powdered ~arsenate of lead,
.arsenate of calcium or Paris green,
with an equal amount of air
Stacked lime, and this busted on the
is an effective way to get
rid of potato bugs.

SPRING Wet AND FARM
WORK BACKWARD

Helena, April 22.-Spring work
is backward in the major small
grain sections of the state, reports
from many points indicate, furnish
ed to Chief of the Publicity Divis-
ion of the State Department of Ag-
ricuIture. Excessive moisture has
fallen in some counties and in 9th
ers it is below normal. Livestock
conditions are satisfactory. Labor is
in demand in most of the counties.
Northeastern District
Daniels-Rain during the past
ten days has soaked the ground to
a good depth. There is more mois-
ture in the soil than for several
years. AS yet there are few farm
ers in the field. Some sod is be-
ing broken, but there has been no
planting. Livestock is in good con-
dition. More than the usual num-
Der of sows are narrowing. Hog
growers report good sized ~litters,
with a high average of pigs saved.
There is a demand for farm labor.
Phillips-Moisture conditions are
below normal this yea There has
been very little spring flood wat
er available for dry land irrigation.
Grass is beginning to grow and the
farmers + commencing work in
the field in nearly all parts of the
county. There will be a big in
crease in corr and flax acreage this
year. Livestock is in good condition
except many Of the dairy cows on
dry land farms have lacked a bal
anced feed. Weather has been quite
favorable for Landing. Quite a

dance of common labor, carpenters
and mechanics, but no farm hands.
Twelve men could be placed on
farms Immediately at s45 to SO per
month for the full seasons work.
Roads are in very bad condition.
East Central District.
Richland-Weather has been cold
and damp with some little snow.
The soil has not warmed UP enough
to start plant growth. Very little
work has been done in the fields, it
being still too wet for blowing. The
probable wheat acreage will be
somewhat smaller than last year,
and the acreage of flax, corn, sweet
clover, beans and sugar beets will
be very greatly increased. The win
ter wheat crop has come thru the
winter in fairly good condition, as
has also alfalfa. Livestock is being
turned on the range in better CON
dition than usual. There has been
no apparent shortage of feed.
There is a slight shortage of farm
help.

ed voters over 10000 who do not
think, and it is possible, the superin-
tendent of police advises, for the
criminal classes so to organize that
they will control the city.
This is a bad showing, a discredit-
able showing in these United States
Of America, the greatest and most
prosperous land on earth. There is
only one remedy-read and think.
Here in the East they laugh at the
western progressives, and call them
radical. But the man in the West
will solve the problem in the right
way if he has the chance he asks for
the natural evolution necessary
for a growing population and a cul-
tured people.
The masses in the East ask for
nothing but an auto, which most Of
them have, q full belly, which they
all have today, and enough small
change in their pocket to make a
jingle. But watch the East when
the whirlwind comes. They will run
wild and try the impossible way of
doing by revolution and disorder
what the western man would intro
duce by evolution and reason.
The East is very, very prosperous,
but the people do not think; they do
not take enough interest in their
prosperity even to vote knowingly.
They are the f%orerunners of bolshev-
ism and disorder. 1t is better to
vote wrong than not to vote at all.
Indifference is getting to be a trait
of the American people, and it wiz
lead them to hell. The American
system is no lazy mans system. A
good king is better than an indifer-
ent people. Vote or proclaim a rlon-
archy

and in Montana to stay. He got
as far east as St. Paul and there
ran into the storm that was gener-
al over the middle west about 10
days ago, and then turned about
and headed for the balmy cline of
Montana.
Mr.. Pearson came in contact with
several former Montanans while in
the Twin Cities and was informed
by them that there are much worse
places than the Treasure state-in
fact, that almost any place is-and
that they desired to come back here
and really live. He was also told
that in Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
cousin tenant farmers are about to
begin an exodus to the promised
land-Montana-and that in anoth-
year Of two we'll have a third

Following the primary election in

There are in Detroit $4,000 voters
