Beets Need Irrigation
FIELDS WILL BE HELPED
BY FREQUENT. LIGHT

BY FREQUENT LIGHT RRIGATIONS
In a graf many beet fields the DELAY in irrigation
was vlslbly injuring the crop last week.
This was particularly true of late sowings. Under
present conditions the fact that beets are small, in
stead of being a reason for holding off irrigation as
irrigating them Immediately.
In small beets narroy your ditcher and use short
runs. With haying and other work pressing, MANY
growers could not irrigate their beets last week. Fur
Their delay, however, may prove costly.
Only a gentle, soaking and heavy rain will take
the place of an irrigation at this stage of the crop.
Showers will be of little value.
But some growers have already waited too long for
rain. Our agricultural reports show that the principal
cause of abandonment of ulanted beet fields to date has
been drought.
CULTIVATE FOLLOWING IRRIGATION
Not only are growers strongly urged to irrigate
their beets as soon as possible, but also when the soil
dries out sufficiently the beet field should be cultivated
to conserve the irrigation moisture and to aerate the
soil before the second irrigation.
More than fifty per cent of the crop is backward,
mainly due to late planting, delayed irrigation and I'M
favorable weather conditions.
How the beet fields are handled in the next few
are kept growing until harvest, will determine in most
cases the size of your beet checks.

OIL ACTIVITIES
LOOKING GOOD

TO Drill LINEAR
CODY

With five cars of casing at the
Cody station and wv brand new
rigs between here and Casper, in
dications are that Cody and Park
county will enjoy a year of con-
siderable oil activity. w. o. Taylor
returned Sunday morning froma visit
to Kansas and Texas points and is
authority for the statement that the
Pittsburg Southwestern Oil Com
pany will start operation on the
lease held by Jas. w. Rousseau and
associates as soon as the equipment
can be assembled here. Harry Bid
die, an oil man of many years ex-
p%erience and Harold Weir accom-
panied Taylor to Cody on his return
trip and will be identified with the
oil operations here this season.
The Pittsburg Southwestern COM
pany is one of the major operators
in the southern fields and also have
holdings in almost every oil pro-
ducing state in the United States.
This is their first entrance to this
state, and with the unlimited finan-
cial backing which they have, the
Cody field will no doubt be given a
thorough testing.

Supt. r. B. Hardin has been no

places the local school on a plane
equalled by few schools in the

ship in this association it becomes
associated with the most select
schools of nineteen of the north
central states which is truly the
"Bradstreet" list of education in
these states. 1t lends the schools
considerable prestige and gives
them an opportunity for co-opera-
ton in all matters that will help
education to more adequately per-
form it's mission.

MEMORIAL TO
SERVICE MEN

MEMORIAL

The first steps looking towards
the erection of a memorial to the
manhood of Park county who served
the country during the World war
was taken last week when arrange
ments were made for the shipment
to Cody of a siege gun. The mem
bers of Fred Coe post have been
endeayoring for some time to Sc
sure something of this character
for ornamental purposes and were
notifieds-recently by Congressman
Chas. E. Winter that their request
would be granted provided the
freight charges could be handled
at this end. A committee headed
by H. A. Phillips made arrange
ments for the freight expense and
the canon will be shipped at once.
Many different ideas are being
offered for the erection of a fit
ting memorial to the Park county
soldier boys, one of which is that
a massive foundation be construct
ed on the court house lawn for the
placing of the M and that upon
one of its sides be a large metal

SEED CORN AVAILABLE
PARK COUNTY GROWERS

County Agent Allen and c.. NJ
Cox, chairman of the agricultural
Committee of the Cody club. have
purchased and have on hand 1900
pounds of certified seed corn from
Northern Montana. They feel that
this seed is the best available and
will mature in this section. The,
corn was secured directly from the
growers who were recommended by
the State College at Bozeman-
The varieties secured are North
western Dent, a red variety. and
Minnesota 80, a white cap yellow
dent. Both have matured and have,
yielded well in Montana. Small
shipments of yellow Gehu and
White Gehu We're secured for the
higher attitudes.
County Agent Allen states thai
seed corn is scarce this year and
he consideres they were fortunate
to secure good seed at a reasonable
price. The corn is being distribut-
ed at 64A and 7h cents per pound
This is at a cost of from SO to SO
cents per acre for seed. All orders
should be in by April Goth
