that he does enthuse over Foley, the

Work IS progressing at a very rapid
pace on the new GlendiVe-Circle-
BrOckway Northern Pacific branch line.
Out from GlendiVe at distances of from
two to three miles from one another
are innumerable construction camps,
each camp constructing a mile to three
miles of the new road.
Daily new equipment, consisting Of
steam shovels, wagon leaders, ditchers,
fresnoeS and other machinery. together
with horses, caterpillars and tractors, is
being unloaded at Glendive.
The contractors are bending every eff

which is now being harvested in the vast
agricultural domain which this road will
serve will be marketed this fall. Several

being employed to keep the heavy ma

according to A. E. Moir, assistant super
visor OF the Lewis and Clark national for

from there.
Best results are being obtained with
violet wheat grass and a type of noun
tain bronze grass, Mr.. Moir said. 1t is
being found at the station that Is
pounds Of seed to the acre will pro-
duce a good stand of forage under IA
vorable conditions, costing usually from
81 to So an acre.
The station is investigating the rela-
ton between plant cover and erosion and
runof; also the relation of grazing to
plant cover. This work shows that 90
per cent OF the runOh is from snow and
only 5 per cent from rain, III SO per
cent Of the silt that is carried down the
slopes is from the 5 per cent Of runoff
from rain and only II per cent from the
snow. 1t has been discovered that by
maintaining reasonably dense stands of
forage plants the effects of the rain run
OF can be combatted.
Another experiment is with a rotation
system of grazing whereby grazing is re-
stricted in certain areas so reseeding car
occur, the plan being to let rs per cent
OF the important forage plants go tc
seed each year.
Mr.. Moir was impressed by the Good

~ILLAGE has become recognized as
one Of the most important factors In
successful crop production. Inc
program of agricultural develop
ment of Fergus county resulting from
the agricultural economic conference held
at Lewistown last winter, gives the sub
1ect Of tillage a prominent place IN It's
recommendations. While these recon-
mendations apply particularly to Fergus
county they do have a broad application
areas of the state. Among the conclu-
sions and recommendations made regard
ing tillage are the following:
Wheat will remain the chief cash crop
in the county and tillage is the most i'm
portant element within the farmers con-
troll in its successful production.
Adapted methods of summer tillage are
essential for any or all Of the following
reasons: Weed control, moisture conserva-
ton, improvement in physical condition
of the soils, better distribution Of labor.
and reducing risk Of crop losses in un-
favorable seasons.
The fundamentals Of good summer TIL
lage practices are:
/. Early blowing or substitute culti-
walton before the period Of average high
est seasonal rainfall.
2. Timely cultivation with proper i'm
plements for weed eradication, creation
and maintenance of a clod mulch and
the closing up Of deep cracks in the soil.
8. The duckfoot c%ultivator is the best
implement for the average soils Of the
county. Rod or blade weeders have a
place as supplementary tools for use with
the duckfoot c~ultivator. The disk and
spike tooth harrow are Of little import"
ance in summer tillage operations after
blowing.
The three systems Of summer tillage
which are bringing satisfactory results
under the varying conditions in the
county are as follows:
1. Early blowing (before June u and
subsequent shallow surface cultivation
with proper implements to kill weeds anC
to maintain the desired clod mulch.
2. Early cultivation with disk or duck
foot cultivator followed by blowing no
later than July /. h method applies
particularly where weeds like wild Oati
are to be sprouted before blowing.
8. PloWless summer falloW by TIT
proper use of a combination of nipple
ments such as the duckfoot cultivato
and the disk. The duckfoot alone offer
possibilities if narrow shovels are useC
first and wider shOvels later.
Methods of operation and management
worthy of further trial are as follows:
l. Listed summer tillage where sol
drifting is especially serious.
2. Using pasture instead Of cultivatei
