TO USE FURR0W DRILL
in ROOSEVELT COUNTY

The furrow drill which has
revolutionized the winter wheat
production of central Montana, is
being given a tryout in the Pop
lar community this year. Fred
Fear, manager Of the Frye Cat
lie Company, IS constructing what
is believed to be the first furrow
drill in the county, and will give
it trial on the large acreage to
be seeded under his supervision.
Mr. Fear IS using an old press
drill from which he has removed
alternate drills and press wheels.
The furrows viii be opened by
tandem disc from which alternate
blades have been removed. The
drill win be pulled behind the
disc, the whole outfit being pulled
by small tractor. Mr.. Fear
plans to give the furrow drill a
thorough trial as he has found
that a large acreage seeded to
winter wheat must be abandoned
every year, when using the ord
mary methods of seeding.
The furrow drill has been used
extensively in other sections of
the state, and has been found to
reduce the winter killing to a great
extent. The ridges which are
thrown up by the drill tend to
hold the snow, and likewise
checks soil-blowing to quite an
extent. With both of these OBJ
jections overcome, it is believed
that the winter wheat acreage
will be greatly increased in
Roosevelt county.
The construction of the furrow
drill is well described in Bulletin
No. TT, recently issued by the
Montana Experiment station, and
which may be secured by applica-
tion to the station or to the county
agents offce.-A. w. Warden,
Co. Agent.

ASSAULT RESULTS
in CRACKED HEAD
ROAD CAMP WORKER HIT BY
IFtATE COMPANION WHEN
HE MISSES RIDE

Charges of assault with intenr
to kill have been filed against E
A. CAD Rogers, member of the
road crew working west of town,
as the result of his striking Julius
Vahrenkamp over the head with
a heavy sledge hammer and frac-
turing his skull on the left side.
Both men were members of the
road crew The alleged assault
occurred Sunday morning at 8
o'clock but because Vahrenkamp
expressed the wish that he did not
want to prosecute Rogers, the af-
fair did not come to the attention
of local authorities until Monday.
Trouble between the two men
is said to have started over an
auto ride. Vahrenkamp took
Rogers, his young son, and sever
al other workers into Oswego Sat
urday night. Rogers went into
pool hall to play cards. When
Vahrenkamp was ready to go back
to camp, he sent Rogers son to
call him. Rogers is alleged to have
refused to come and also to have
used abusive language when he
found that Vahrenkamp went back
to camp without him. Later in
the evening Rogers hired a car
and returned to camp. When he
found Vahrenksnp, it is said, he
picked up the sledge hammer and
struck him over the head.
Vahrenkamp was brought TO
Wolf Point by the wife Of the
foreman of the camp and given
medical attention here and was
then taken to a Glasgow hospital.
Tuesday he was operated on and
several pieces of crushed bone re-
moved from his skull. He stands
g good chance of recovering. The
only relative of his to be located
so far is H. F. Vahrenkamp Of
Rising City, Neb., who is now at
his brothers. bedside.
Rogers is a married man with
six children. His family now live
in Savage He left the road camp
after committing the
alleged assault and despite per-
;istent search by the authorities

Go To Grass!"
Phrase Puzzles Many
"Go to Ora So

All Wolf Point is puzzled over
this phrase. However, things are
not what they may seem-this is
not threat. It's an invitation.
-"Grass" is the name of new
Paramount picture which will be
shown at the Liberty theatre on
Saturday and Sunday.
1t isn't fiction. "Grass" is an
actual perturbation of the semi
annual migration of the Baktyari
tribes in Persia. They go through
unbelievable hardships in their
trek over mountains ten thous-
and feet high, and torrential riv-
ers to reach the green pasture
lands. To this civilization of ours
their fortitude in overcoming OBJ
stacles, their willingness to chal-
lenge nature in her most over
coming aspects for the right to
exist, are a reminder of our rae
ial heritage. 1t makes our daily
tasks look mighty easy.

DUST METHOD Smut
CONTROL ADVOCATED

Farmers who are seeding win
ter wheat are urged to take pre-
cautions and measures in control
ling the smut which annually
causes a tremendous loss to Mon
tama wheat raisers. Figures com
piled by bureau statisticians show
that winter wheat is especially
susceptible to smut damage. The
fact that this can be controlled
and the loss comes as a result of
carelessness, does not minimize
the Importance of using control
measures.
The copper carbonate method,
which is becoming very popular
throughout Montana, is Of special
value in the control Of smut in
winter wheat. Through the use
of this dust, absolute control of
smut can be secured without dam
age to the grain. The entire sup
ply of seed can be treated at one
time and can be piled up indefi-
nitely.
Users Of copper carbonate in
the control of smut have found
that three to four ounces of the.
dust is sufficient to prevent the.
finer particles of dust from float
ing about.
In some cases where careless
methods have been. followed, too
much dust has been inhaled by the
operator, and a fever has follow
ed. This is not serious and canI
be avoided by precautionary
It is expected that within a
very short time all wheat seeded |
in Montana will be treated by the
copper carbonate method. This
has proven more con-
venient, makes even seeding pos
sible, and obviates the need of
treating wheat after the days
work has been conpleted.-A. w.
