COUNTY AGENT BACK
FROM BIG GATHERING

County Agent Ostby has just re-
turned from Bozeman where he at
tended the farm and home week
meetings. Mr.. Ostby says that TWEEN
ty-nine county agents and over SOC
farmers, business men and organiza-
tion representatives took part in the
farm and home week meetings. The
program consisted of talks and de-
monstrations on agricultural topics.
The State Experiment Station at
Bozeman gave reports on their latest
results in cropping systems, live
stock feeding and results Of grain
avriety tests, and recommendations
from the Veterinary Department in
controlling and combating animal
diseases were received. The subsJa-
tion at Havre, Billings and Judith
Basin, and the Fruit Station at Mis-
soula also gave their reports.
There were special discussions on
the causes of variations in protein
test of wheat, the Mormon Cricket
situation in parts of the state, Boys
&Girls' Club Work, the varieties of
grain and grasses best adapated for
different parts of the state, market
ing, rodent control, use of weed
burners, tillage implements, treating
grain, judging cattle, furrow drill,
poultry, turkey marketing associa-
ton, shelterbelts, growing fruit, etc.
-Four talks were given by County
Agent Ostby on crop standardization,
a tuberculosis eradication campaign,
corn varieties, and dry land gardens.
The potato growers, pure seed
growers, bee keepers, and dairy
mems and livestock associations also
had their annual meetings at this
time.
The Conference was very success
ful and everyone present felt that
great deal of benefit was received
from attending. The experience of
the experiment station men, the pota-
to growers, grain growers, dairymen,
livestock men, bee keepers, county
agents, and others present was very
valuable information.
A definite plan of action was es-
tablished looking to the division of
the state into seven districts, each
district to appoint committees of men
and women to study the important
problems of the farm and farm home
and to report their findings and rec
ommendation at two-day economic
conferences later in the winter. Defi-
mite programs for each district will
be based upon the findings of the
committees.

Find Sweet Glover
Practical for Farmer
Having Livestock

No farmer who has over four or
five cows can afford to be without
sweet clover" is the way James
Swindle, OF the Lanark Community,
SUMS up the value of sweet clover
to the livestock man. Mr.. SwiDdle
has grown sweet clover for a num-
Der of years and is enthusiastic
about the retults. For pasture and
for hay. sweet clover is hard to
beat as it yields well and will sup
port a surprising number Of animals
through the growing seasons.
Mr.. SwindIe states that since he
has been raising sweet clover he
has never been without hay while
before then he was frequently short.
Sweet clover will always make
SONS growth no matter how dry the
spring and summer may be, and.
is probably the most dependable
hay crop that we have
Numerous records are on file of
sweet clover fields in the dry land
sections of Montana that have
carried two or three head of live
stock per acre throughout the grow
ing season. Some growers have
claimed that sweet clover will often
carry five or six head per acre for q
period of five months. With the
average native pasture carrying but
one head for each Is acres OF land
the actual value OF this crop for
pasture purposes is easily apparent
The acreage of sweet clover in
Roosevelt County is increasing e :
pecially in those sections where
wheat has been the major cash
crop. 10 these sections the evils
which follow the one crop system
are gradually forcing a change. 1t
is here that sweet clover proves it's
value as soil builder, pasture aud
