furnish material for the series of
Economic conferences to be held
in this county in October and No.

Farm Bureau.
Studies of individual farms will
be made by representatives Of the

of listing adapted practices, pro

and resources. Production, man

be considered. During the next
two months many farms will be
visited and studied.
The economic conference as a
means of drawing up sound agri-
cultural programs has been used
profitably by many farm commun-
tiles in Montana and has meant
the establishment of profitable en-
terprises on many farms of this

DELAYING SUMMER
FALL0W COSTLY

To delay summer fallow work
this spring may mean from -four
to six bushels of wheat per acre
for the 1929 crop season, reminds
L. G Kurtz, agronomist for the
Montana Extension service. The
chief benefit from summer faIlow
may be lost if the work is delay
ed
Mr.. Kurtz cites a series of ex-
periments carried on at the North
Montana experiment station,
Eavre, to illustrate the point. The
i experiments were intended to de-
termine the most favorable time
to start summer following. In one
Of the experiments land was plow-
ed in the fall, summer fallowed
the following season and planted
to wheat the next spring. The
average yield from three different
fields was SO bushels per acre in
1926 and 1915 bushels per acre in
1922. Other fields were bowed
il May, summer fallowed the re
I@ainder of the season and planted
to wheat the following spring with
yields from four fields averaging
81 bushels in 1926 and 37.7 bush
Ell; in 1927. In a third expert
merit fields were plowed in July
ard summer fallowed the rest of
the season. The yields averaged
IS bushels per acre in 1926 and
,4.4 bushels per acre in 1927.
The experiments showed a very
title difference between fields
in the fall AMI those
early in the spring, but
here was a decided decrease in
-ield on those fields where sum- :
ner fallow operations did not I

Leavitt's Control
Amendment Adopted

WASHINGTON The flood
control act recently signed by
President Coolidge contains a
provision which was offered on
the floor of the house by Con
gresham Scott Leavitt, and writ
ten into the bill by an overwhelm-
ing vote. AS it now reads in the
law this provision is that:
1.-THE President shall proceed to
ascertain, through the secretary
of agriculture and such other
agencies as he may deem proper,
the extent to and manne in which
the floods in the Mississippi val
ley may be controlled by proper
forestry practice"
When the amendment was offer
ed Mr.. Leavitt said that it was
proposed to write into the most
important flood measure ever
considered by congress, and thus
into the national policy, the prin-
that any flood control plan
be effective must include for
sstry practice at the heads of all
strains involved. He also support
ID the proposal to include reser-

good news by everyone. There's
no more likeabIe chap alive than
~Sweetser. and his gallant fight for
the championship in 1926 won him
fan-followers the world over. Per-
maps his game won't be good
enough to cause much worry TO
Bobby Jones. but we have a bunch
that those who pick Mr.. Jones to
win this year won't be nearly as
confident of that as they were last
year when Sweetser was not
among those present.

ONE of the pleasant pastimes of
major league this
season seems to be the making
over of ~outfielders into infelders.
We've noticed lately that Reese
n OFT with the Giants, Holm with
the Cards, Hendrick with the
Dodgers, Barrett with the White
Sox and Heilmann with the Tigers
have been going in games out of
their usual field. Perhaps ma
terial is not so plentiful.
HOW different are our two ma
jor league races.
In the American League. the
Yankees seem to have things all
their own way. The Macks
threaten, the Indians are doing
well, but no alarm is felt about the
other clubs.
In the National League, only
one club, the Phillies, can be said
to be completely out of the race.
They're doing about as well as
can be expected. All other clubs
are so fixed that a few victories
here and a few losses there can
upset the present arrangement in
a fashion that you'd never
mink 1t was the same season. And
what's nice, those eve clubs are
likely to stay punched until the
md of the year.
