GOPHERS APPEAR;
NOW IS time TO
POISON 'EM OFF

Gophers are out over much of the
valley, reports County Ageat~R. E.
Bodley, who adds;
"This is the most effective and
most economical time of the whole
year in which to poison gophers. A
fresh supply of poisoned oats has
been mixed and is now available from
any Of the following points: Sales
vile, Salesville State bank; Manhat-
tan, Manhattan State bank; Willow
Creek, Earl S. Parks store; Menard,
A. R. Hill; Belgrade, Belgrade Com
pany, Ltd, Owenhouse Hardware and
George J. Heck store; Three Forks,
Adams Realty company.
"The price is considered very low,
and the S Of the poison by all farm
ers is considered the most ecOnom-
ical and effective way of controlling
these pests. If a little poison is put
out by each farmer the cost is small
and the gophers are easily controlled.
Over 5000 pounds Of poison were
used by Gallatin county farmers last
year with excellent results. All
farmers are urged to get their poison
Immediately, so that they can take
the time to put some out every few
days before field work opens up"

GRAIN
should NOT Be
USED FOR seed
Because Of High Moisture Con
tent, Has Low termination
Test, Experts Say

termination tests made by the
state grain laboratory at the college
reveal that much Of Gallatin county's
grain this spring will have a low
termination test and should not be
used for seed, says R. E. Bodley,
county agent.
The termination has been affected,
the tests show, by the extremely high
percentage of moisture. Unsatisfac-
tory stands will result from this grain
if planted, Mr.. BOdley advises.
1t is suggested that all farmers
either make a termination test of the
grain they expect to use, or have
such a test made by the state grain
laboratory. There is no charge for
this service, but any farmer contem-
plating having a test made by the
laboratory should leave a sample al
the county agents office Immediately
because the laboratory is not equip
ped to handle an overly large guam
tity Of samples at one time. In this
way, it is believed, a test can be made
of all samples between new and seed,
ing time.
Farmers having seed grain for sale
that was threshed before wet weather
and which is sufficiently pure to BE-
used as seed, are requested to list il
with the county agents office.

Mr.. Peterson, former county agent
Of Fergus county, will arrive in the
city this week and will Immediately

ment for the Adams company. This
IS the beginning of the largest farm
ing operations ever attempted in this

tions the largest in the state and the
work is being watched with a great
deal Of interest all over the state.
Mr.. Adams will have a number ct
blowing crews in the fields who will
break land just as long as the wealth
er conditions will permit. Four crews
Of men with tractors are engaged in
this wOrk.-Three Forks News.
