w 1928 and with prospects of a
four or five-fold acreage increase in
1924 over the previous year, the
field bean is becoming one 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 21 bushels or 1850
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 105 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 well as
after summer fallow. A suggested
rotation for the irrigated farm for
five or six year period is: small grain,
beans, small grain, alfalfa. Beans
are a cash crop which can be handled
largely by machinery am bean straw
has considerable feeding value for
live stock.
Professor Clyde Mckee, agrono-
mist of the Montana Experiment sta
tion, gives the following suggestions
for growing field beans:
"Beans 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
drainage. However, beans may be
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-
tions, cause beans to germinate
poorly and to make 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

HARVEST PROMISE
OF GOOD SEEDS

wv THAT will the harvest be?" Is
M a question that can often be
w answered in the same way as
the question What kind of seed was
planted?" Judging from the samples
sent to the Montana Seed Testing La
boratory the harvest will be good.
From July 1, 1928 to April 16, 1924,
1861 samples of seeds were tested
for the farmers of Montana.
Alfalfa seed this year shows the
same average purity as last year,
testing 95 per cent. This years ger
mination of 70 per cent was just
three points better than last year.
Sweet clover showed "a per cent in
purity and 53 per cent in germina-
tion, both figures being the same as
last year.
Both this year and last the purity
of corn was practically perfect, SO
per cent. termination was 86 per
cent as compared to 81 per cent last
year.
The purity of oats was SO per cent
as compared to 81 per cent last year.
The purity of oats was SO per cent
as compared to 81 in 1928, and the
termination of 81 per cent was six
points lower than last year.
Wheat with 96 per cent purity
was three per cent above last year
and the "a per cent termination was
seven per cent lower.
Hard seed in alfalfa was 81 per
cent as compared to 20 per cent last
year and in sweet clover it was 33
per cent, against 81 per cent last
year.
While the majority of samples re-
ceived by the seed laboratory we're of
high purity and termination, there
were many instances of poor seed
and seed mixtures which demon
strate the vital need of testing seed
before planting. Following are few
of such instances:
One sample of sweet clover con-
tanned 16 per cent Hare's ear Must
ard and AS per cent Russian thistle,
while another contained 2S per cent
of Hare's Ear Mustard.
A sample of millet seed looked
good but would not germinate on
repeated testing.
A sample of oats looked good and
was plump but the termination in
eight days was only 16 per cent. An
other sample of oats terminated 10
per cent.
A sample of mixed timothy and al
sike clover contained IA different
kinds of weed seeds. Dodder was
found in number of samples of all
falfa.

FIELD BEAN is IMPORTANT
MONTANA CROP THIS YEAR

| from warming up early in the spring
and is apt to retard the activity OF
beneficial bacteria.
ga good seed bed is very essential
to successful bean production. Poor
seed beds result in uneven germina-
/ tion, poor stands, weedy land and
consequently great loss in yields.
Where soil conditions will permit,
fall plowed land is desirable, follow
ed by narrowing early the next spring
to kill weeds. Spring plowing should
be done as early as possible. The
land should be narrowed imme diately
after blowing to more thoroughly
break up the clods and prevent bak-
ing. Flowing in the morning and
narrowing in the afternoon is good
practice. The land should be given
sufficient preparation before plant
ing to kill weeds and insure a firm,
moist seed bed.
cat the Huntley Experiment Farm
near Billings, from May 10 to June
10 is the recommended time for
planting. AS beans are a warm sea-
son crop, planting should be delayed
until all danger of killing frost is
past and the soil is warm. When
beans are planted too early, cool wea-
ther combined with excessive moist
ure may delay termination and cause
the seed to decay, resulting in poor
stands and uneven ripening. Beans
planted on we'll prepared seed bed
after the soil is thoroughly warm,
generally make a quick termination
and rapid, sturdy growth. Each
prospective bean grower should OBJ
tain reliable information as to the
average date of the last killing frost
in the spring for his locality, and
then make his planting about ten
days later.
'Beans should be planted in rows
with sufficient space to permit cul-
tivation. On irrigated farms the rows
are spaced from % to 80 inches
apart. In the Billings area, many
farmers prefer the rows 2S inches
apart. However, some growers rec
ommend that the rows be the same
distance apart as beet rows so that
beet cultivators may be used. On
the dry land farms rows are being
spaced from 80 to AZ inches apart,
depending upon the amount of moist
ure available. At the Huntley ex-
pertinent farm best results were OBJ
tanned on dry land by having the
rows 80 inches apart and dropping
seed about Is inches apart in the
row. The ordinary grain drill with
holes stopped up makes a good bean
planter and the two-row corn planter
may also be used. Special bean
planting devices to be attached to
the corn planter may be purchased |
from implement dealers.
"While some advocate the plant |
ing of 80 to 40 pounds of seed per
acre, the majority average from 20
to 25 pounds on irrigated land. On
dry land, IA pounds per acre is
enough"

may have TO shampoo once a week,
otherwise, once in three weeks is all
right. Short hair needs more
frequent washing If you are blonde,
use CASTLE soap, melting It with
water to make sirupy liq':id; If
you are brunette, do the same with
tar soap. A tablespoonful of witch
hazel or cologne to a half-pint OF the
mixture makes 1t easier to use.
Apply the liquid soap with q brush.
Never rub cake of soap on the
hair. You'll never be able to rinse
it clean il you do. Soap the hair,
rinse, soap and rinse again, and soap
a third time. Rinse vigorously in
four to seven waters. and your hair
will be beautifully glossy and clean.
A little lemon juice or. borax added
to the final rinse makes oily hair
fluffier and blonde hair brighter.
If you are troubled with severe
dandruff, obtain a little sulphur or
zinc ointment from your druggist,
mix with an equal quantity of cold
cream and rub into the scalp the
night before a shampoo; for dandruff

Pulaski.

MANY of the veterans Of the World
Tar who have stopped at the small
ark at Thirteenth street and Penn
kylvania avenue to view the Pulaski
Monument have wondered why such
a foreign-looking military character
should be honored by a monument in
this city. This equestrian statue OF
Brig. Gen. CasimIr Pulaski, with his
artistic canteen and cumbersome
sword, is one of the most pictureque
monuments in Washington. 1t por-
trays the military dignity of the
Polish count, a marshal general, who
came to America to offer his sword
to Washington. 1t shows the man
who gave his life for the infant Re-
public at the siege of Savannah,
October II, 1779. -
He does not wear the uniform OF
the Continental Army, for history re-
cords that while he served America
his military dress was that of his
native land, and included even the
busbee (hat) and military cape which
Is thrown gracefully back from his
shoulders.
Kazimierz Chadzinski, the Polish
American. who was designer and
sculptor of this monument, has given
character to his work in delineating
Pulaski's striking features. The
mount, conspicuous for its graceful
lines and warlike spirit. 1t seems to
be moving, for it's right forefoot is
raised It's head is lifted in alert
ness, it's ears are erect, and its nos
trils seem to breathe the exciting and
i polluted air of battle.
Accounts of the battle of Brandy

4 the brave Pole, won such distinction
$in the encounter that Congress con-
kferred upon him the rank Of briga-
fder general and put She cavalry
