Forgotten for the moment, and Mr..
Burbank reminded me that nothing at
all had been said about Iris.
This interesting and beautiful fam
lily, of course, could not be passed
over and at once asked if there were
still time TO plant any of them.
1T is too late for the European Iris,
which bloom in May and June" said
Mr. Burbank, but we might plant
some Japanese and Siberian Iris for
Midsummer blooming, and a little
later, when the Spring Iris, have
bloonied and it Is time to move them,
we cnu take up the subject again and
make out next years list.
There are so many varieties that
by little care in selecting and plant
ing one may have some of them III
bloom the greater part, of the year.

No" said Mr.. Burbank, "the Eu-
ropean Iris, which includes the Iris
Germanica and the Spanish, Dutch
and English Iris, all three OF which
really belong to the same family, gen
orally like well drained location with
plenty of sun and not too much water,
except during the blooming season;
but the Japanese and Siberian Iris
are water lovers and thrive best in
wet, Doggy beds and beside pools or
streams, and even sometimes are
planted In tubs or boxes sunk In
the water.
I'm Japan they are often planted
out in the swampy rice fields.

Yes" answered Mr.. Burbank, land,
like the cannas they want a very rich
soil, heavily mulched with old manure,
but as little lime as possible either in
the water or the soil"

l said.
The petals are differently ar
ranged" said Mr.. Burbank. where
the European Iris has three dropping
petals or falls" the Japanese Iris has
three almost horizontal petals, and
the vertical petals or standards are
smaller and lower.
Some of the blossoms are very
large, and, as you say, of every color
but yellow. They also rejoice in some
remarkable names. which perhaps
sound stranger in translation than in
the original. such as Dancing Tiger

Surely, any variety, whether Euro
pean or Japanese. will afford good OPP
portunity for hybridizing, If you are
careful to study the structure Of the
blossoms, 50 as to understand how
nature intended to have il fortified.
The results Of blending the different
colors and crossing the different spe-
cies will be of the greatest interest.
MY own experiments have been
chiefly with the Japanese Iris laeva-
gaia, and | raised great quantities of
them at one time, planting them on
an acre Of damp ground on one of my
experiment farms. The color combi
nations were wonderful and beautiful,
and the forms as we'll. for there were
both single and double flowers, and
the seedlings varied in height from s
inches to or feet"
Did they vary 50 much because
they had been transpian1ed?' asked.
no, the dwarf and giant forms
grew side by. side in the same soil and
under the same conditions. SO the
variation came through the seed, from
many different ancestors - Japanese,
Korean, Chinese and perhaps Hindoo,

Timothy and Alfalfa Seed

AAAAMAML NAA ANA.AA8 -
Timothy seed is one Of the important
products Of Fergus county, the production
last year amounting to a half million
pounds which represented to the growers
a gross return of $4,000. Fergus leads all
Montana counties in Timothy seed LrO-
ductiOn.
The eastern part of Fergus county pro-
duces about two carloads of alfalfa seed
each season. This seed is in strong demand
because Of its hardness. Production could
be increased at good advantage.
Another seed crop gaining favor for
Fergus county is sweet clover, both of
the yellow and white blossom varieties.
Trying Out Seed Peas
During the past year the section around
LewistOwn, through the efforts of the
Central Montana Chamber of Commerce,
has tried out m acreage of seed peas.
Owing to the fact that the seed did not
arrive until very late, the farmers had
their best land already sOwn to other
crops and the best land was not obtain

and the land will be enriched and ready for

son. The seed Ompany is asking for about
900 acres here next year and already the
farmers are asking for contracts. This
section is wonderfully adapted to the grow
ing Of this class of crop and it won't be
surprising to see the creek bottoms
throughout this section under pea culture
in the very near future.
Financing Farmers for Dairy Cows
That the dairy cow is one of the best
bets for CENTRAL MOntana is being demon.
