To Stage Wild
Horse Roundup
In Montana Soon

I'm event having all the pictures
que color Of the west Of the frontier
days a generation ago, a wild horse
roundup, is to be. st&g ged soon under
the direction Cf The United States
forest service in the GalIatin nl-
tiOnal forest Of southern Montana,
to announcement today
Certain sections Of several north
western states are the homes Of
large herds Of these wild cavuses,
which are descendants Of the orig
iuaI mounts brought to America by
the Spanish conqujStadores. The
periodical rOundupS are rs serious a
job for residents Of these states as
thcF were for their pioneer grand
fathers. These wild horses cause
them heavy losses. In addition to
consuming paSturage sufficient, it
is estimated, to take care Of two
million sheep, they "stoal' con
siderable numbers Of ranch and
farm horses.
\ SURVEY made by state officials
Of Montana indicates that several
hundred thousand Of these animals
are at large within the border Of
that state alone.
Several Hundred Captured
Last year the forest service cap
tured and disposed Of several hun
drcd horses found in the GaIIatin
national forest. Curiously enough
despite the fact that this primitive
region has been the scene Of much
interest and activity during recent
months, having just been opened to
the public. it is stated that the
roundup this year will bring in about
twice as many as were caught last
year.
Some of these animals, which are
seen frequently from the Yellow
stone park buses operating over the
ta!latin gateway. were at one time
domcst irated. The rauchmen Of
This section say that when their
animals meet the untamed herds
they become incurably wild within
Il very brief time.

ALFALFA GROWERS
GIVEN ADVICE ON
LAND CULTIVATION

Much Of the land in Imperial Val
lev that is being seeded to alfalfa
has been used previously either for
pasture o. grain growing purposes.
IN. either case. bat more especially
in the latter. the physical condition
Of the soil is bad, according to the
locnI farm advisors.
Almost invariably the advisors
have found in their Investigations
that on tn's land, at a depth Of a
few inches. is what is commonly
known rs "plow sole. or 'culti-
vation hardpan This subSoil they
say must be broken up before the
air, water and plant roots can
penetrate to the deeper portions of
the soil.
The first move the advisors Sug-
gcst in preparing such land for al
falfa is to plow it deeply, so to
break up the subsoil. This deep
plowng should be done before the
land is lcvelcd, otherwise the hard
subsoil in the lower places of the
field will be covered so deeply IN
the process of levcling that it will
be impossible to break it up later.
In MANY eases observed, the plow-
ing had been done after levcling,
and, as consequence, the lower
places were filled in with earth
from the high places and the sub
eoil was not broken up. The result
has been that within Il wear or two
the field presented spotted an
pcarancc and the alfalfa failed to
produce in tho places whCrc the hara
subSoil had not been broken
The land should be pronerlY lev
cled in order to distribute the water
economically and uniformly over
the field.

House Gets Report
On Columbia Basin

WASHINGTON report on the
Columbia Basin irrigation project by
Elwood Mead, commissioner of recla-
nation, and John H. Edwards, assist
ant secretary of the interior, which
was made public some weeks ago, has
been printed as a public document
and referred to the house committee
on irrigation. 1t was transmitted to
the House by Secretary of the In
terror Works
In this report it was found that the
cost of construction under the Gault
gravity plan would be $193,O0O,000, or
$158 an acre, and that although eco
nomically feasible, the time has not
arrived to take it up The concluding
words are "No recommendation
looking to further action by Congress
is made"
The Senate committee on reclama-
ton, headed by Senator McNary of
Oregon, plans to hear witnesses on
this project in January, and Francis
M Goodwin of Spokane, former as
sistant secretary of the interior, is
preparing the presentation of the
case.

VESSELS IN FOREIGN
TRADE ON INCREASE

INCREASE in the number of private
L ly-owned American vessels engaged
In overseas foreign trade from lit to
1874 during the period from July 1.
1925, to October /, 1925, is indicated
by the current issue of the quarterly
survey of the status of the American
Merchant Marine feet, prepared by
the Bureau of Research of the Ship
ping Board. II Is further noticed that
during the same period the number of
vessels employed in coastwise traffic
increased from GIL to 6S3. During the
quarter ending September 30, the sea-
going fleet Of privately-owned Ameri-
can vessels was augmented by the
transfer of 20 Shipping Board vessels
to private ownership, the entry into
service Of one newly completed pas
senger and cargo carrier designed for
coastwise traffic, and the purchase Of
one tanker from a foreign owner a
total Increase Of 81 ships. During the
same period two vessels were trans.
ferred to Great Lake service, one was
sold to a foreign purchaser, five were
strapped, and three were lost through
disaster, total decrease of II ships.
The net increase of 16 brings the to-
tai number of privately-owned steam
and motor vessels of 1000 gross tons
and over to 1,109, with total gross
tonnage Of 5,281 ,626 tons, of which 81
per cent was in active service DC.
