CATTLE COMPANY
WATERS ITS LAND

DERHAPS one of the most novel
land interesting %irrigating devel-
= opments in this part of the coun-
try where electric power is used for
pumping is being completed and will
be operated this year near Poplar,
Mont. In this particular instance the
project is being developed by a pri-
vate concern rather than an irriga-
ton company as ordinarily is the
case.
The Frye Cattle company is making the
development which, this year, will consist
of 5000 acres and will be increased In the
next few years to 5000 acres. The power
for pumping purposes is being furnished
by the Northumberland Power company at
the rate of III cents per kilowatt and 1t Is
estimated that the pumping cost VIII not
exceed 81 per acre foot. The lift is 20 feet
The Frye Cattle company expects to re-
tain a portion Of the acreage for their OWL
use for raising feed for their cattle and
the balance of the acreage Will be colon
lied with Hollanders. The land will sell
for $3.50 per acre. The water will be fur
nished by the Frye Cattle company. The
Frye Cattle company expects TO act as man
ayers Of the entire project and will make II
their business to instruct the farmers IL
the proper use of irrigation, knowing thai
the project is entirely dependent upor
proper methods.

ROOSEVELT LEADS
in SEED OUTPUT
(From Montana State ColIege)

nOOSEVELT county is maintain
R ing it's reputation as a producer
of high quality seed, according
to a report of tests on last seasons
approved seed crop by A. w. Warden,
county agricultural agent.
In his report Mr.. Warden states that
laboratory tests on II samples of approved
Marquis wheat from Roosevelt county show
an average purity of 9S.2, a termination of
1913 and an actual seed value Of 81. This
Is a very high average for such a large
number OF growers, says Mr.. Warden, and
illustrates the high degree of perfection
attained by seed growers Of Roosevelt
county.
Commenting on the results, Mr.. War
den says: while 1t is not unusual for
registered or approved seed to test as high
as 90 in termination and purity, 1t Is de-
cidedly unusual that II farmers sending
in samples from different sections of the
county should reach such a high quality
average.
Growers Of Victory oats averaged Dos
in purity and 90 In termination, making
an actual seed value of 9.5. This fgrre
Is more outstanding than those applying
S, Its but two samples and is therefore
nor as conclusive as where a greater mum
Der of samples were included.
Approved seed is produced in coopera'
ton with the Montana Extension service
and must meet certain rigid requirements
before it can be classed as approved. II
must trace to either registered or approved
seed, must be from clean land, must pass
field inspections and a satisfactory labora'
tory test for termination and purity. Ap'
proved seed is the most important link II
Roosevelt county's crop improvement work
which has been the means of incrcasinl
the yield and quality Of Roosevelt county,
