Keener support to keep the Vel
IoWstone trail from losing its pres
tige, as points subject to detours
by tourists decline in their inter-
est and loyalty to this great Mon
tana highway, vas sought to be
provided at the eastern Montana
district meeting recently held at
Billings, by a decision to set aside
January 10 as a Trail day in ey-
cry town along the route.
It was also decided to ask the new
legislature to establish a state high
way fund and to leave the trail route
as it now exists in eastern Montana.
Legislative action will clinch federal
aid, it was stated.
w. j. Mulvaney was reelected to
the national executive committee OF
the trail association and it was an
nounced that he will likely be elect
ed the next president of the associa-
ton.
The idea of the Yellowstone trail
day January 10 is that there will
be a meeting at every point on the
highway and especially prepared
speakers brought from other points.
1t is hoped to make the day an out
standing event for all cities con-
nected with the Yellowstone Trail,
subject to arrangements of the ma
tional committee with a $3.50 cup go
ing to the town that obtains the
largest number of new members in
proportion to it's population. The
cup will be held for a period of five
years, depending on the possessor's
up-keep of dues
''The big problem we have to
face" H. A. Cooley, general manager
of the association said, sis that of
the towns overlooking the whole and
saying: I'VE will punish the Yellow
stone trail if they don't stop
tourists from taking detours, cut
offs, and going around our city, by
not supporting the trail They forget
that if it wasn't for the Yellowstone
trail there would be no detours to
take. We must forget the details
and look at the thing as a whole.
1--WE must remember that we are
the only northern route out of Chi
cago, and where during the summer
virtually all eastern autoists start on
their western trip. We must fight to
keep our existence. From the south
ern routes, of which there are four,
we have the sharpest kind of COM
petition.
every influence at Chicago points
toward the southern routes. The
Jefferson highway, the Atlantic and
Pacific and all others are well-or-
ganized. To bring the tourist to the
great northwest we must continue as
we have in the past"
The question was brought up at
this meeting that it might be better
to make an intensive effort to main
tain the highway only from Chicago
to the Yellowston park. 1t vas fin
ally decided to continue the road as
a transcontinental highway.
1t was decided to hold the next an
nual meeting of the eastern Montana
district at Forsyth.

dim light. His fourth shot struck
Ornom in the thigh and he tumbled
from his horse. Not satisfied with
his work the officer got down from
his horse and pounded and kicked
the defenseless prisoner until his
companions came up and made him
desist.
When the physician at Fort Mac
Leod examined the prisoner he found
only a flesh wound. Ornom was suf-
fering pain and loss of blood and he
was placed in the hospital where he
lay for several weeks. 1t is a mys-
terry which will never be explained
but one evening when the police
were at supper Ornom's horse was
saddled and bridled and tied out
side the door, the prisoner placed
astride him and he rode swiftly out
side of the yard and out onto the
prairie.
The police rushed from their mess
tables at the sound of the galloping
horse, just in time to see the rider
vanish down the street. They lost
no time in mounting but their pur-
suit was hopeless from the start.
Ornom had several miles the start
and all trace of him was lost in the
darkness. At daylight the follow
ing morning he rode up to a trap
per's cabin eve miles south of the
line and dropped in a faint.

to him to halt but his only reply was
to drive the spurs harder into his
horses flanks and he slowly but
surely increased the distance be-
tween them with the exception of
one rider who also seemed to be
mounted on a very fleet horse. The
police, rather than to shoot, pre-
ferred to leave Ornom go, but this
one rider was a man of different
character. When he saw that he
could not overtake the fugitive he
drew his gun and began firing at
the outlines of the fleeing man in the

Sweetened Sponge to
Trap Bothersome Ants

Ants, thick as bees at swarming
time, cause all kinds of trouble for the
gardeners, florists, greenswardsmen
and housewives.
A unique method Of killing them by
the hundreds is to soak a cheap sponge
in sweetened water and place it where
the ants play. The sponge serves as
a trap. When the ants have crawled
into the pores, miniature death caves,
in the sponge, they are easily killed
by dropping sponge and all into boiling
water.
To kill ants in their nests, which
they build in the ground, on lawns and
golf links, pour carbon disulphide in
the holes and plug them with earth. A
8 per cent kerosene emulsion can be
used effectively in greenhouses. This
has been applied safely by government
experts direct to the soil Of infested
flower pots where geranium and hello
trope plants were growing.
A solution Of sugar and borax dis
solved in water will also attract and
kill Cnts.
In using carbon disulphide remem- |
ber that it is infammable and explo-
sive. An ounce or two in each hole
will be sufficient to kill the ants as
the gas is heavier than air and per-
neates the whole nest.

HOW TO FERTILIzE CORN

The best method, undoubtedly, will
vary somewhat in accordance with
soil and climatic conditions and with
Iarm practice. Sandy soil low in or
ganlc matter and heavy clay soil rich
IN organic matter respond very diff
terently to fertilizers. Rainfall during
the growing season is also an impor-
tant factor in determining the results
TO be obtained from an application of
fertilizer.
Some farmers prefer to apply the
corn fertilizer in the hill or row.
while others are convinced that it
should be drilled solid or brOadcasted.
The arguments for and against the
TWO methods can be stated briefly.
Fertilizer is applied in the hill so
as TO be near the seed and give the
young corn running" start. The
corn gets ahead of the weeks, and can
De cultivated several days ahead of
corn that has been fertilized broad
cast. The increased yield is usually
larger in proportion to the amount of
FERTILIZER used in the case of hill or
row application.
There is a common impression that |
- eiAAACA III IuS I'LL CAUSES punch !
ing" of the roots and that as a re-
suit corn fertilized in this way is
more likely to be injured by summer
1routh. Both the Wisconsin and Mich
lgan Experiment Stations have car
rled on careful investigations and
have concluded that there is no
punching of roots nor injury from
irouth that can be traced to hill ap-
)lication. These experiments do not
settle the question but
hey at least indicate that this obiec-
ion to hill application of fertilizer
nay not be so important as was for
lerly thought to be the case.
1t is generally agreed that the bulk
the fertilizer used in an ordinary
rop rotation should be applied broad
asst. Corn fertilized in this way,
owever, starts slowly and is not ben
ited materially by the fertilizer until
eVeral weeks after planting. There

One pint for each row is sufficient
For this third row it might be well
to allow 21s or feet of space and
plant some Of the finer quality, heav-
ier-Vining peas.
The fourth row might be devoted to
three paintings of radishes from a
week to ten days apart, a third to each
planting, the spaces to be filed in with
dozen peppers, six eggplants and,
say, half dozen late cabbage plants,
after the radishes have been used.
The fifth row, feet from the pep
per-eggplant row, would accommodate
~ tomato plants. Before the toma-
toes are put in it could be planted to
the earliest crop Of spinach.
The next two rows, 2 feet apart,
could be planted one row to string
beans and the other to bush lima
beans. The next row would accomo-
date % cabbage plants, or half cab
bage and half caulifOwer, Of the early
types. Then, allowing 21s feet be-
tween the rows, a later broadcasting

followed later with tomatoes or string
beans. Two feet farther along a row

the length Of the garden, would go in
An ounce Of seed would be necessary.
The same extent Of carrots and beets
'ould be placed in the next two rows,
foot apart, with a row Of onion sets.

nodate first and second planting of
ettuce, each 8 feet by 31z feet, and a
ed Of equal size for parsley, would

This arrangement leaves a rectangle
about 25 by 8, which may be divid-
d into three beds, the first for early

each body $40 for die cost. The diff

Growing Plants In Boxes.

30 per cent resistant on these infected
soils, and, furthermore, the fruit of
these resistant varieties is quite good
and suitable for general home use.
Seed Of the wilt resistant varieties,
such as Norton, Marvel, and Norduke,
is now offered by a number Of the
seed houses, and these varieties are
recommended where the more common
varieties, such as Bonny Best, Stone,
Globe and others, have fallen prey to
the wilt disease. The work of the
scientists has not stopped with the pro-
ductiOn Of the three kinds mentioned
above, but they are going on making
new crosses in an endeavor to improve
upon the varieties already created and
to secure sorts that are adapted to
other purposes.

Grass Cuttings May
Be Left on the Lawn

For the best lawn, care should begin
by raking the litter off early in the
spring either with a wooden-toothed
rake or with an iron rake with a small
potato on each end so the teeth will
not remove the dry grass clippings
about the roots Of the plants, advises
the United States Department of Agri-
culture.
Cuttings should begin early with the
lawn mower set as high as possible
and should be repeated frequently. The
clippings should all remain upon the
lawn. The more Of these clippings
that can be retained about the roots of
the grass the better the chances for a
good lawn.
Watering should be delayed as long
as possible but when 1t becomes neces-
sary it should be applied in a spray in
one place for four to six hours and
then in another place. Six hours after
watering the ground should be wet four
inches deep in heavy soil and six inches
In lighter ones. Another watering
should not be needed for week.
As growth begins to slacken in early
summer it may be stimulated by the |
application Of one pound of nitrate of |
soda or sulphate of ammonia to each
1000 square feet of lawn at intervals
# month. The former in particular
Ihould only be applied when the soil
S wet after rain or a heavy watering
II else should be applied in solution.

Tomato Plants in

Sow Seed Early, Pot Tender
Shoots, Then Transfer
to COldframe.

Early tomato plants for the home
garden should always be started in
doors, and, if possible, handled in pots
OF paper bands in a cOldframe. By
this method the first blossom cluster
may be on the plants at the time that
II is safe to set them outdoors. In the
latitude of Washington, D. c., this is
about May 10 and it is often possible
to have ripe fruit by June 25 or at
least by July 4.
Where there is no danger of loss
from wilt disease, the Bonny Best is
one Of the most desirable varieties for
the home garden. Earliana will give
ripe fruit little earlier, but the fruit
is not quite as desirable as Bonny
best' so 1t is a good plan to have a
IeW plants of Earliana, but make the
main planting Of Bonny Best. Toma-
toes are among ten of the most desir-
able crops for planting in the home
garden.
Twenty-Five good, healthy tomato
plants planted in the home garden will
produce all Of the fresh tomatoes that
the family can use during the mid
summer months and a surplus for can |
ming, says the United States Depart-
ment Of Agriculture. Planted in the
ordinary manner about 8 by feet
apart these 20 plants will occupy 300
square feet Of space, or an area Of 10
rect by 30 feet in size. Fifty to sixty
tomato plants can be planted on the
same piece Of land if they are pruned
and tied to stakes. The quantity of
trult produced by both methods is
practically the same, but the first ripe
Iruit of the season will usually be OBJ
talned about five days earlier from the
Staked and pruned plants, and the fruit
grown on the pruned plants is more

system, the peas spaced ? or 3 inches
apart in wide row 6 inches across

HIGH YIELDS-LOW COSTS

1t has been said that the farmers
most important problem is to reduce
the unit-cost of production. The re-
lation Of yield to unit cost has been
pretty thoroughly demonstrated
high yields mean low costs. New evil
dence on this relation as applied to
corn has been worked out by farm
management experts. Careful records
were obtained on the cost accounts of
81 progressive farmers in three coun-
tees which show that
Eighteen farmers got between 80
and 40 bushels of corn to the acre. It
cost these men, on the average, 77c a
bushel to raise this corn.
