Alexander Henry, Jr., Gives
Interesting Account of Early
Visits Among Indians

Grand Forks. N. d., Aug. 1.--NP)-
How Alexander Henry, Jr., foremost
among carly Northwestern fur trad
ers. explored North Dakota' before
coming to an untimcly end on the
Pacific coast, is described in the fol
lowing article, written for the As

papers by DR.. o. &. Libby. head OF
the history department at North Da-
kota university:
In 1906, Henry, with two campan-
ions. set out on horseback from his
Pembina post for the Indians living
on the Missouri, known as Mandans
and Gros Ventures or Hidatsa. His
journey took him north and west to
what is now the city of Portage La
Prairie in Manitoba. From this point
he travelled up the. Assiniboine to
the Mouse river and along this lat
ter river around the entire loop to
Antler Greek in Canada. His party
now crossed the river and turned
southwest toward the Missouri river.
f. Welcome and Not
Here his party found the Mandans
after nearly two weeks of hard
travel, during which both men and
horses suffered exceedingly from the
heat and from the swarms Of mos
quitoes. The eros Ventures were not
at all friendly to the white travellers
but the Mandans welcomed them and
took them into their homes as free
~ as they had the members of the
Lewis and Clark expedition two
years earlier.

the two tribes at this point and his
account TALES for the most part with

THE LATEST DATES
CORN SEEDING.
(From Montana State College)

INFORMATION passed on to farmers of
the state by county agricultural
l. agents, indicates that June is is
about the latest date for planting
even the earliest maturing varieties of
corn In Montana. To delay planting until
this late date is not advisable but 1T is
pointed out that rains in late May and
early Jun delayed seeding. making it
necessary for farmers to decide whether
1t is best to plant late or not at all.
The extension agents are pointing out
that for early maturity corn must grow
rapidly and this in turn is dependent
upon the number of heat units during
the growing season. If the weather is
comparatively cold and cloudy corn will
grove slowly n mature late. Likewise
points of high altitude n those farther
north have fewer heat units and conse-
quently a longer time is required for
maturity.
The number of days remaining In the
present growing season depends upon the
time Of the first frost in the fall. Wheth-
er 1t will come early or late is specula-
tive. A cold. late spring does not neces-
sarily mean an early fall frost, nor does
1t mean a late one. Farmers may we'll
determine the average date of the first
fall frost for their communities n base
their farming operations accordingly.
1t is significant hat early maturing
strains and varieties OF corn like Gehu
Flint N Dakota White Flint require
only from rs to e5 days to ripen. Where
mature corn or seed is desired, late plant
ing may we'll be limited to such varie-
ties. II corn is to be used for fodder.
later maturing varieties may be used.
To aid farmers in determining what to
do county agents have prepared the fol-
lowing table showing approximate ma
turing dates when different varieties are
planted at different dates:

Potato Tour of State
to be Held During July

under which seed stock is grown. South
ern growers want northern grown seet
because seed produced in the south
quickly runs out. has a high percentage
Of disease and produces low yields.
Louisiana University under the direc'
ton of Prof. T1ebout has taken a leading
part In locating hardy. high yielding
northern grown seed for the growers OF
the south. The experiment station there
conducts annual tests of seed stocks from
different northern states and In these
tests Montana stock has proved to be
superior. The Montana experiment sta
ton, with the assistance OF other state
agencies, has taken a prominent part In
bringing Montana seed potatoes to the
front.
The need for annual visits of inspec-
ton is brought about by the fact that
seed potato quality may vary from sea-
son to season, depending upon climatic
conditions and the care used by growers
in wedding out on-type n diseased
plants from the seed potato field Under
the direction of the Montana Potato I'm
provement association. assisted by the

spection and ratification has been de-
veloped to insure the production OF high
quality products.

With reports from county a~gricul-
tural agents indicating only from 10 to
so per cent Of the corn acreage plant
ed at the close OF May In some OF the
important corn growing counties Of the
state, farmers are very much concerned
with the latest possible date of plant
ing which Will give reasonable assur-
ance of maturing a crop. Following
are some OF the points to be cOnsid-
cred when fixing a final planting date,
according to A. j. Ogaard, extension
agrOnOmist at Montana State college.
The higher the altitude and the farth-
err north the more limited are the heat
units and the greater time required for
maturing corn. II the season from now
on is hot the more rapid will be the
growth n the shorter the time required
for maturity. If frost is delayed in the
fall more time is available. There is no
relationship between a late spring and
an early frost SO THAI the prospect of a
late fall are as good now as in any year.
The variety and strain of the corn has
an important bearing upon its maturity.
Early fints like Gehu and Dakota white,
mature in rs to 95 days. depending upon
the time Of planting and growing con-
strains Of Pioneer Dent and Northwestern
Dent will require from 10 to is days
more to mature.
The following shows the approximate
date OF maturity when corn is planted
at different times:
Gehu Flint and Dakota-Planting date.
May 15. date of maturity August / to
August Is.
White Flint-Planting date, June /,
date OF maturity August is to August as.
Northwestern Dent. Pioneer-Planting
date, May is, date OF maturity August 40
to September l.
White Dent and Misunderstanding date.
June l. date OF maturity. September /
to September is.
Medium early types-Planting date.
June is. date OF maturity September 10
to September as.
Mr.. Ogaard concludes tina in most
corn growing areas OF the state there Is
still time for planting early maturing
varieties for seed and feed and later va
rieties will give good yields OF fodder.

Plants Spuds Under Diflculties

While the rain fell in torrents almost
daily this spring, John Farbo, a rancher
Of SwGetgrass community who grows
large acreages Of potatoes yearly. had
pondered as to how he was to get his
crop into the ground. Taking his riding
lister he made the burrows in the muddy
field. while his son Arne, q lad OF is, fol-
lowed along with a democrat loaded with
Farbo could make the burrows, or at the
rate of about 10 acres q day. This also
saved a great amount Of labor planting
the spuds from pals. as ordinarily done
where no regular potato planter Is at
hand. and hus a little ingenuity planted
the potatoes ahead of time against odds.

One OF the interesting topics dis
cussed at the annual livestock meet
ing In the state by DIR. j. w. Butler.
state veterinarian, was the different
kinds of land In the state and from
his talk, the following Is taken:
"A weary while it's been. but the sun
shine is back in the cowman's heart
The cattle industry is on the upgrade
We have had a good many lean years, but
we look forward with every prospect OF
having passed the crisis, and from now
on accept the conditions that exist today
and handle our cattle accordingly. so
that we may enjoy the prosperity of
many fat years to come.
When the homesteaders first started
to come into eastern Montana, l remem-
Der o. c.. Cato telling me that the COM
ing Of the settlers and the fencing OF
the range would bring q temporary hard
ship to the stock industry-not a per-
manent hardship. but would necessitate
the s~tockgrower changing his methods
Of handling n growing his cattle or
sheep. He said the stockmen and the
stock industry were too big to be stopped
by mere trifles like a baro-wire fence or
plowed-up land, and would surmount
these difficulties. and that as time went
on we would educate ourselves to accept
the new condition of affairs and raise
bigger and better cattle than in the days
Of the open range.
When Chief GauI, that famous Sioux
whom any nation or country or tribe
should be proud to call their own, saw
them blowing up the Ian OF his FORE
fathers. he sadly shook his head and said.
Wrong side up Chief Gall knew that
grain could be raised In this country.
His people. centuries before the coming
of the white men. had titled the soil and
grown corn on the upper Missouri river.
in what Is now known as the Dakotas.
They realized the splendid soil that is
found in our sub-irrigated lands along
streams and on some of our benches
would grow corn. They didn't 60 out
onto the dry land prairies and pillow up
that arid country, which was the feeding
ground Of the buffalo and the antelope,
and which grows that short staple grass
that Is such a wonderful feed-a grass
which fattesls and hardens cattle and
makes their meat even more palatabIe
than many OF the corn-fed steers of the
middle west.
What a wonderful thing 1T would have
been for our western states If our gov
eminent had only followed the practice
of the Indian and had segregated GER
tain lands for farming. We would have
had a natural breeding ground for live
stock where they could be economically
raised. These big segregated grazing dis
tricts would have been the cradle OF the
livestock INDUSTRY, supplying calves and
feeder cattle and lambs to the middle
western states. If such a plan had been
followed out, it is very possible that the
late financial calamity would not have
the livestock industry, and
very possibly the tremendous depression
which affects the agricu1turists at the
present time would have been averted.
/ sincerely trust the scheme that is now
being undertaken in the Pumpkin creek
district in eastern Montana will mater
ialize, and will prove OF much benefit to
the stockmen in that district and to
eastern Montana in general"

tension agronomist at Montana State
college. prospects are the best ever for a
conclusion Mr.. Ogaard is not assuming
the role of long distance weather prophet
but Is basing his judgment upon the
preparations being made now for the crop
next year.
The production of wheat in Montana
is shifting rapidly from a n to a two
year basis, Mr.. Qgaard points out. At
the agricultural economic conferences
held In the state last winter the summer
following of at least one-third of the
wheat acreage each yea was one OF the
outstanding crop recommendations. 1t
was agreed that summer fallow is the
best method yet devised to conserve mois-
stroy weeds n offers the best means at
the farmers command to insure against
violent swings in crop yields. Reports
from county agricultural agents indicate
that the effort to increase and improve
summer tillage Is receiving a strong re-
Spouse In practically every important
wheat growing area OF h state.
Mr.. Ogaard points out that the weather
has been an important ally In the sum-
mer tillage campaign. Wet weather has
slowed down wheat planting and has left
q greater acreage for summer following.
Soil conditions too are favorable for be-
ginning summer tillage operations and
for the conservation OF moisture.
In a circular prepared by MIR. Ogaard
which is receiving wide distribution
throughout the state this spring, in
counties without the services of county
agricultural agents as we'll as those with
organized extension work. farmers are
being directed to the essentials of prop
err summer tillage. The circular points
out that ordinary rainfall Is heaviest In
late May and early June and that plow-
ing for summer tillage must be started
before this period II best results are to
be obtained. As a reason for timely cul-
tivation Of summer fallowed land, the
circular advises that 1t requires AZ, 1000
ten-quart pals of water to produce a
ton of dry matter In weeds. Proper Gull
tivation kills the weeds and provides q
surface soil condition which checks
evaporation.
