FORAGE CROPS AT
The COUNTY FAIR

With few exceptions it is believed
forage crops exhibits will equal or
even surpass all previous exhibits
at the fair this fall. This belief is
due to the crop conditions in the val
ley which are as promising this year
as any Of the best years in the past.
Exhibitors will have only county
grown crops against which to COM
pete as entries will be open to farm
ers of Gallatin county only. All
should have a good exhibit as there
is no entry charge in this depart
ment.
Hay will be scored on maturity or
the stage Of its maturity at which
It was cut for showing, condition OK
how it was cared for and put up at
cutting, color Of the sample which
should not show indications Of fading
or d~iscoloratiOn, aroma or the alb
sence Of any unnatural OdOr, fungus
or mold, and texture taking in the
flneneSs OF the crop and amount o.
leaves.
There will be classes in the follow
ing crops: Alfalfa, White Sweet clo-
yer, Yellow sweet clover, Red clover
Alsike clover, Timothy and Red top
The largest exhibits Of sheaf forage
crops and grasses will receive grand
prizes up to three placings. Exhibits
should be gathered when the heads
are we'll out in bloom and when The
leaves are plentiful and Of a fresl
green color. Long fine stemmed ma
terial shows superior forage quality
and apparent feeding value and thes,
factors are considered greatly By th,
judges.
Samples should be cured where n,
strong light strikes 50 as to preserv,
its natural green color and at thi
time all foreign material should b
removed from the exhibit. When tn

Ar. Jensen explained that in some
areas where winter killing was most
seriousf farmers had obtained 1esults
By delaying planting until the early
spring In this way satisfactory
yields have been obtained and winter
losses have been overcome. Winter
wheat 50 planted has advantages over
spring wheat in that Il avoids a mix
ture Of grain IN fields where winter
wheat had been previously planted,
larger yields have resulted and e
brings about a more favorable dis
tributiOn Of labor, according to the
speaker. The fact that wheat so
planted is from ten days to two
weeks later in maturing than winter
wheat planted in the fall and the re-
latiOn Of this fact to rust loser is a
matter still to be determined.

SHEEPMEN TEST
MONTANA WOOL
Government TO Make Official
Examinations and Growers
Welcome Cooperation

Helena.-MOntana wool growers arc
submitting samples of their clip to
the wool department Of the bureau
OF federal statistics in order that
shrinkage tests may be made, ace
cording TO Jay G. Diamond, federal
crop statistician. Small sacks were
sent from the Helena offices to 25
sheep breeders with requests that
samples Of the clip be enclosed and
sent direct to Washington. The
breeder in turn will receive the result
of the official test with instructions.
That wool growers appreciate this
cooperation is indicated in a letter
received from B. C. White Of Buffa-
10, Mont, breeder Of RambOuillet
sheep. Nh. White established the
Buffalo. Greek Sheep company in
1889. He writes in part:
II have wanted a test ON our wool
for several years. We have had to
take the say-so of the wool buyers on
the shrinkage and / want an official
brass tacks government report. /
took samples from 10 ewes, eight
breeding ewes and two yearlings.
The department is doing something
worth while. I get a daily report on
the wool market, trend Of London
and Australian sales when the colon
ial sales are held, the goods market
, wool importatiOns by grade and class
as we'll as exports.
Another matter that / think would
be of real information to wool grow
ers would be to know the amount Of
rags being used by shoddy mills. This
would be an eye opener to a lot Of
people and would wise congress up OF

WEEDS

The same fine conditions Of wealth
er and moisture which have given
Hill county prospects Of one Of the
greatest crops in its history, is also
proving especially favorable for
weeds, giving growers of pure seed
an additional cause for worry. E. B.
Duncan, county agent, reports a S5-
acre field Of registered Marquis
wheat and two fields Of registered
Victory oats as being in excellent
condition and the growers making a
good fight in rogueing out the
weeds. The problem Of weed eradi-
cation is particularly important in
pure seed production, Mr.. Duncan ex-
plains, since the Montana Seed
Growers association withholds regis
tratiOn from seed containing weed
seed.

FANWEED

zone Of the worst Of the annual
weed pests in the state" is the way
the botany department at Montana
State College designates fanweed.
This plant was imported to the Unit
ed States from Europe and is now
found in all too great abundance in
northern and western states. It finds
conditions most favorable in the un-
irrigated sections where there is
plenty Of moisture, although its
spread is by no means limited to
such areas. Farmers on irrigated
land and those in drier sections also
are having their troubles from fan
weed.
The pest is described as an annual,
has smooth leaves and stems, grows
to be from n TO two feet in height
and, under uncrOwded growing condi-
tons, has a number Of branches. It's
chief characteristic is that its seed
capsules are shaped like a palm leaf
fan, nOtched at the tip, and from
this it gets it's name. The capsules
are about a half inch in diameter and
appear at the ends Of the stems and
branches. Leaves appear further
down the stems. New blossoms ap-
pear and new seed capsules develop
during the entire growing season
The capsules down the stem, next To
the leaves r the largest and most
mature, and they taper off in size
toward the end Of the stem with
small inconspicuous white flowers ap.
pearing at the tip. When mature
the capsules turn a yellOwish straw
color, a fact which makes the weeC
quite noticeable when surrounded BY
green plants.
In cultivated fields the best means
Of control is careful summer fallOv
and frequent cultivation. Cultivatel
crops such as corn, potatoes, beets
peas, beans and so on are importan
in the rotation when weed control i
a problem. If the plants are move,
before the seeds are allowed to ma
ture che spread Of the pest can b
checked. Plants are easily kille
but the fact that seeds often remai
dormant in the soil for a long tim
makes eradication difficult.
Poison sprays such as sodium al
senate, iron sulphate or sulphur
acid are sometimes used but the Us
Of these materials is limited becaus
they will also kill other plants an
because Of their expense. Some {
3 the sprays such as sodium arsenal
3 are also deadly pOisOns which make
E their use dangerous where there
e live stock.

sample has dried sufficiently so as
not to mold it is gathered in punches
and prepared for exhibiting. Uni
formity in quality and growth is very
important in this preparation and Sc
lection. The center Of the bundle is
first made and built up on all sides
so as to produce a finished bundle
three to five inches in diameter at the
butt. The butt is cut off squarely
and tying cords may be covered by
one inch ribbon to improve the ap-
pearance Of the bundle. The bundle
is tied tightly about six inches from
the butt and at intervals to the top
or head.

 It is impossible, Professor Wendell said, to satisfy the desires of both the graduates and the public, and an ad- ditional 25,0Oo seats would be insuf- ficient to fill the demand at the big games. Under present conditions ali the graduates could be taken care of he said. Rows of seats further back, according to the professor would be practically valueless on ac- count of the distance from the play ing field, while the steel-work neces- sary to a gallery would entail con siderable expense for upkeep.
