PREPARE.
FOR PROTEIN TESTS
(From Montana state College)

TIME greater part of Montana's wheat
crop Will be sold on a protein as we'll
L as a grade basis this year and most
elevators and buyers are preparing to CO.
operate with growers to secure protein
tests, advises E. j. Bell. Jr, OF the de-
partment OF agricultural economics at
Montana State college. Mr.. Bell has ad-
dressed 36 meetings Of farmers n ele-
vator operators In 16 OF the important
wheat producing counties of northern
and central Montana and his observa-
ton is that there is more interest in the
subject OF protein throughout the state
thar ever before. The meetings were
arranged by county agricultural agents
of the Montana Extension service.
The selling plan which many elevators
and buyers are planning to use. accord
ing to MIR. Bell, is for the elevator op-
orator or buyer to take small handfuls
of grain out of every load delivered by
the farmer, put these in an alright glass
Jar bearing the farmers name. thorough
ly mix the sample when delivery is COM
plete. and finally to divide it into two
portions, sending one In an air-tight con-
tainer to a laboratory for testing for pro-
tein and giving the other to the farmer
for checking purposes. The farmer will
be paid h regular grade price at the
time OF delivery and the premium for
protein will be paid when the report is
received from the laboratory.
Farmers and elevator operators must
keep several points in mind in this meth
of selling wheat. Mr.. Bell states:
First-Wheat samples must be kept In
alright containers from the time they
are first AIKEN until they reach the lab
oratory. II the sample dries out in tran
sit, the protein test Is increased and is,
therefore, inaccurate. Elevators and
county agents are prepared to furnish
approved alright containers at cost.
Second-Experiences In 1927 show that
even when all possible care is taken to
keep samples from drying out. the tests
usually run from one-fourth to one-half
of one per cent higher han the lot from
which they are taken.
Third-If the farmer Is to receive pre-
miums for his wheat from the elevator
he must haul 1t within a short space of
time SO that the elevator manager can
keep 1T separate in his bins.
Fourth-It is practically impossible for
the elevator to reflect the full extent of
the premiums for high protein wheat on
storage tickets. II the premium is to be
secured on stored wheat, 1t must be kept
on the farm until 1t is sold.
Farmers are advised to follow market
prices based on protein. AVE their wheat
tested to determine accurately the quail
ity of wheat they have to sell, and then
sell to those agencies which give them
the best price for their product. Farmers
have the alternative Of shipping direct
to terminal markets If prices quoted To-
cally are not satisfactory. The fact that
many farmers have taken advantage of
this opportunity has put local dealers ON
their guard to do everything possible to
meet this competition.

have some bills struck off. The

took a snifter from an ice-cold jug
then another to quench his thirst. His
legs felt kinda wobbly but his heal
was clear as a bell and to work faster
he set type with both hands. When
the farmer started lacking up his
bills he discovered they were more

BETTER STOCK

Every farmer that hears this slogan
which has been adopted lately by the
national department of agriculture,
Better Sires-Better Stock" will
ask himself. How can best comply
with this stirring summons to better
dairy farming? What can l do to
make the stock on my farm better?
And upon the faithfulness with which
we all set ourselves about the task
will in great measure depend the sue
cess which meets the efforts of the
government in improved conditions on
the farms of this country.
A number of farmers l know have
already taken steps to follow the in
junction of the secretary of agricul-
ture. And the place they are beginn-
ing is first of all with the bulls they
have been using. Here is the way
one man states it:
l never have kept a good bull of my
own. l have thought that it cost as
much to support bull as a good cow
If l kept bull, l would have to let
one cow go, and for the sake of the
money that one cow more would bring
me, have depended on others for my
service. When l needed a bull,
would go to some neighbor; and often
when l would be busy about other
things, 1 was not as particular as l
ought to have been about the quality
of the sire used. But now l see that
l have been working against the best
good not only of myself, but of the
great body of farmers everywhere,
and l am done with it. Now l am 60
ing to keep bull of my own, and he
will be the best one l can afford to
buy.-Exchang

HOW TO PROLONG THE
LIFE OF CUT FLOWERS

By observing few simple rules, cut
flowers can be preserved long time
and enjoyed to the fullest extent. Here
are the rules given by Louis Sando,
assistant horticulturist of the Univers-
ity of Minnesota:
Cut when cool.
Keep cool.
Place in cold water.
Revive wilted flowers with warm
water.
Cut bottom of flower stalks and
change water daily.
Zone of the most important rules
is to cut flowers when full of mois-
ture," says Mr. Sando. This is either
early morning or evening. To cut
flowers at midday or when a hot dry
ing wind is blowing. will seriously
impair their keeping qualities. II a
large number are to be cut, pail
of water should be taken into the gar
den and the flowers Immediately in
serted in the water. Use a sharp
knife and take the flowers to cool
room or basement, there to remain
for several hours before using. AL
ways use a deep vase and preferably
one with a wide top. Do not crowd
in tight containers even for short
time.
plants with heavy foliage such as
peonies should have the leaves re-
moved as the flower stalk has all it
can do to draw up sufficient moisture
without, at the same time, having to
counterbalance that lost by evapora-
ton through the leaves.
mo one could possibly wish for a
daintier flower arrangement than
that made by Icel and peoples, but
they should be cut in the bud and the
ends of the flower stems dipped IN
boiling water for several seconds or
they may be charred with candle
flame. A long slanting cut is better
than a short straight cut for those
flowers which are apt to wilt quickly.
eff such plants as Godetias and
Clarkias have been sown thickly out
of doors, some will flower very quick
1y without making much growth.
These may be pulled up, the roots
washed under faucet, and the plants
then arranged in vases with no fur
Their preparation. 1t is surprising how
long these flowers will last when so
treated. Hard wooded flower stems
should have an upward cut made
with a sharp knife. This allows for
a greater and more rapid intake of
water"

DUST AND MUD TAKE
TURNS ON HIGHWAYS

A month ago dust was hanging in
clouds over many of the heavily
travelled highways in Minnesota. but
during the past month frequent and
continued rains have left many
stretches below par. Where they are
not rough and rutted they are likely
to be slippery after rains.
"These changes with weather con-
ditions emphasize not only the need
of paving several hundred miles of
the more heavily travelled routes, but
the need of bringing to standard grade
and graveling the routes which have
not yet been graded to modern trunk
highway Standards" Commissioner
C. M. Babcock says.
During the long dry spell some
of the routes became so dusty that it
was hardly safe for machines to
travel closer than a quarter of mile
apart, although the road surface was
good. Such a road is incapable of
taking care of the peak loads on
Sundays and holidays. Paving will
increase the capacity of such roads
several times.
During June when rain fell almost
daily in many. parts of the state. the
gravel roads of modern construction
where traffic is moderate remained
generally good. But where traffic is
heavy the best gravel roads cannot
stand up when it rains daily, while
the roads which are not graded and
.graveled to modern standards will
be badly cut up even under moderate
traffic"
