Dairy Stock for West

Cattle to the value of about $40.
600 will be brought to western Mon
tana from the dairy centers of Wis.

roads for a limited period for dairy
stock shipments.
The first shipments of cattle to be
made here under the reduced rail
road rates for the summer was made
from Wisconsin when the rates went
into effect lately.
Mr.. Fowler said that Is carloads
OF the dairy stock, Holsteins and
Guernseys, would he shipped from

and that in all there would be about
575 head of stock. One of the cars
OF stock shipped will go to Anaconda,

been fed to ground squirrels it would
have been sufficient to have killed 25
to 20 of these rodents.
Bird No. did not appear to like
the oats SO well and ate only 235
grains of the 800 offered The day
following both birds were again fed
poisoned oats, but they did not relish
them, each bird eating but a few
kernals. From the way. the birds act
ed, it was apparent that they did not
like oats as steady diet.
On the third day the birds were
hungry enough to take more of the
poisoned Gate, as one of them ate
1876 kernals and the other 145
Since strychnine kills quickly or
not at all, it was now apparent that
these birds could eat large quantities
without harmful effects. They were
fed a day on clean wheat and the
following Cay were fed large quanti-
ties of poisoned wheat to see if they
could be killed with it. There were
no fatalities and the experiment was
discontinued.
The experiments demonstrated,
first, the grouse can eat unlimited
quantities of strychnine coated grain
without i'll effects; second, that these
game birds do not like oats and will
eat them only when no other grain
is available; and third, that the bitter
taste of strychnine is somewhat OBJ
jectionable and that the birds will
eat clean grain more readily.
1t must be remembered that the ex-
pertinent was carried on with poison
ed oats prepared according to the BIZ

OF
SELECTED SEED

TX EVEN thousand pounds of elite
seed stocks have been shipped
~ this spring to selected seed
growers in various parts of the state,
as a part of the work being carried
on by the Montana Experiment Sta
ton toward improving the quality of
seed in Montana, according to Pro-
lessor 1. J. Jensen, in charge of the
seed improvement work.
The seed sent out consists chiefly
of standard varieties of wheat, oats
and barley. Under this system of i'm
proving seed, the farmer plants and
grows the elite seed stock under the
supervision of the Montana Seed
Growers association. Providing the
seed meets all the requirements of
the association, registered seed of
the first generation will appear on
the markets next season. Thus by
the careful distribution of the elite
seed stock a great increase is OBJ
tanned the first season and the result
ant high yielding seed receives wide
distribution.
In explaining the various steps in
the plan, Mr.. Jensen, points out that
it must have passed satisfactory field
tests and demonstrated desirable
production. The seed sent out this
spring outyielded ordinary seed from
two to 10 bushels per acre in field
tests.
Before seed is considered for test
ing it must be known to be of pure
strain, originating directly from a
single plant the progeny of which has
been proven in plot and field tests
and has exhibited worthy qualities.
High yielding strains of standard
varieties are carefully sorted to elm
mate any off-type heads that may ap-
pear. This requires careful rogueing
from the time of heading until the
plants are mature. Hand selected
seed of the best strains are then sown
in small increase fields. These fields
are vigorously rogue and all impuri-
ties removed. Wild oats and mix
lures are fought continually
The crops are carefully harvested
and threshed to avoid mixtures, fol-
lowing which the seed is famed and
thoroughly. An accurate
purity and termination test is then
made to insure high quality. Elite
seed this year returned termination
tests of practically 100 per cent. The
seed when tagged by the Montana
Station and officially
sealed by the Montana Seed Growers
association is then distributed to the
growers over the state.

| ing the plant type which the roughel
ears represent.
"Since we cannot foresee the sort
of weather which the seasons will
bring forth, it would seem advantage
eous to select somewhat longer
smoother, and shallower graded ear
type wherever the corn being grown
is a fully seasoned late maturing
crop. The deeper kernals, represent
ing later maturing plants, contained
more water at the time of freezing
weather and for this reason were
more subject to freezing injury.
Corn growers have always been
interested in the relative yields to be
expected from seed produced on diff
ferent parts of the ear. During six
years, comparative tests have been
made of seed taken respectively from
the butt, tip and middle sections of
the ear. The results show no materi-
al difference in the respective crops
in any regard, the yields being 1913
60.4 and 60.2 bushels per acre. AL
though the kernals at the tip of the
ear are relatively small and their
early seeding development is slight
ly backward they still contain suf-
ficient food material to support the
seeding until its own synthetic acti-
vities are established. The food ma
terial in the average kernal of dent
corn appears to be greater than the
young seedlings require under ordin-
airy field conditions. 1t seems, there
fore, that little is to be gained by |
kernals from the butt
and tip ends of the ear aside from
| somewhat more uniform dropping
,y the corn planter and a better ger
aination under certain conditions of
reezing injury"

A@ ing on corn growing has been
sent to farmers in Cascade county by
F. e. McSpadden, county agent. A
recent corn bulletin summarization
was included in the letter sent out
by the county agent, with the hope
that because of the increased corn
acreage this year, the information
would be of assistance in securing
profitable yield of corn or fodder
with few or no failures.
1.-THE best imported seed did not
surpass the local seed" says Mr..
MacSpadden, "and this is rather en-
couraging for the test of home grown
seed corn. The least productive of
the imported varieties was far inferi-
or to the lowest yielding home grown
kind, which suggests the need for
great caution when procuring seed
corn from a distance.
During the years 1916 and 1917,
deep grained rough ears and shallow
grained smooth ears were selected in
bulk and compared for yield with the
Hogue's yellow dent corn. AS
an average for the two years, the
grain yields were respectively ga,
69.6 and 64.5 bushels per acre for the
three lots. The smooth ears surpass-
ed the original corn 81 bushels, and |
showed a tendency for greater earli-
less. The results are given in the
able appended.
Sin three experiments covering a
otal of IL years, the long, smooth
ype of ear surpasses all other types.
There are seasonal fluctuations in
which the rough equals or surpasses
he smooth corn, probably owing
argely to climatic conditions favor

WINTER WHEAT IN
GOOD CONDITION

WY INTER wheat in the state is
Nv in much better shape than a
year ago, and is apparently
beginning the summer growth under
quite favorable conditions, while
prospects for rye are less favorable,
but still much better than in the
| spring of 1923, as shown in the April
| crop report issued today by Geo. A.
Scott of the Montana Cooperative
Crop Reporting service. The number
of breeding sows on hand in the
state exceeds the number last spring
by large margin. Soil moisture
conditions are more satisfactory than
usual in most districts, and it APP
pears that farmers will generally get
an earlier start with field work than
they have for the last two years

Children of 29,o42 Schools Now
Enrolled in Movement of
Service to Humanity.

The American Junior Red Cross.
which was organized as a children's
auxiliary during war-times especially
to help the young refugees in Europe.
and to exemplify in peace-time the
Red Cross ideal of service. has now a
membership of 5.596,663 in the schools
Of the United States and the insular
possessions.
This Junior movement gives oppor-
tunity for the children to share in
Red Cross effort parallel to that of
the parent organization. Juniors are
therefore identified in varying degree
with the health services. disaster re-
lief work. salvage and other suitable
activities of value to the operations
Of the Red Cross.
1t is a valiant host marching on
under its 81 Serve" banner in the
cause OF happier childhood every
where and particularly wherever the
American flag flies. The enrolment
embraces 29.e42 schools and lat .48s
school rooms, gain over 1923 of
osooo SCHOOIS anu AH,flf bCuOUi TOOluS.
The years gain in membership was
769.402 children, or nearly $4,000 for
each month of the school year.
The educational and social values
of the Junior Red Cross movement Is
thus evidencing the firm and cordial
endorsement of school authorities. The
government has added the weight OF
recognition by extending the Junior
Red Cross in the schools for American
Indian children. The American Red
Cross is also planning to develop the
Junior program in 600 rural schools
in isolated sections.
There is no abatement of the ex-
change of correspondence between
schools in the United States and
schools in the insular possessions
and foreign lands. During the year
the Junior Red Cross in part support
ed operations in twelve European
countries. 1t is potent influence for
the cultivation Of international good
will and its example has been the
means of stimulating the formation
of Junior Red Cross societies Ia more
than thirty countries.
