STATE COLLEGE
WEEKLY LETTER

Bozeman, Mont, March 25-
Chicks need clean ground OF the
equivalent until they are at least
six to eight weeks old, according
to Miss H. E. Cushman, extension
poultry specialist at Montana
State college, in speaking of the
approaching chick season.
There are three methods of
providing clean ground. One is to
move the brooding pens to a fresh
lot each year, another to place
clean dirt in the pen each year
and the third is to construct SAN
itary runways with hardware
cloth bottoms in which the chicks
may be kept until they are old
enough to escape chick disease
and parasites transmitted by in
fected ground.
Where there is plenty of ground
it is a good idea to change the
location so that the same ground
will have chicks on it only about
once every three to four years.
Between these periods the ground
should be plowed and planted to
some crop.
In some cases clean ground can
be provided by hauling fresh dirt
and placing it on the ground to
a depth of several inches OF
course, this dirt will have to be
removed and a fresh supply added
the next season.
Where the space is limited the
sanitary runway is probably the
most satisfactory. With this meth
cd a runway is built with small
mesh hardware cloth on the bot
tom and chicken wire or the
sides. In some cases chicken wire
is placed on the top to prevent
chicks from getting out. The floor
of such a pen is bound to be
clean because all droppings go
through the screen cloth to the
ground. The feed is always away
from dirt and the chicks can be
reared in sanitary surroundings.
While chick ailments resulting
from infected ground are not as
prevalent in most Montana re-
gions as where large numbers of
chicks are reared on small poul-
try farms, sanitation is a very
important point in raising a farm
flock in the state, Miss Cushman
says.

ent high school laws. AS cbair
man Of the education associations
committee in charge of this
phase, Mr.. Peterson invited state
school boards to submit sugees-
tons which might eventually lead
in a revision of high school laws
on a broader basis than they now
exist.

f. H.. Livingston of Wolf Point.
representing the Montana Educa-
ton association, delivered an adj
dress on the Penalty and Inter
est Law and a Present Test Case

Laboratory Seed Tests
Inspection of agricultural seed
offered for sale in Montana this
year will start in April, the State
seed laboratory here announces.
This work is in accordance with
the provisions of the Montana
State Seed Law which requires
that all agricultural seed offered
for sale in Montana, whether it
is in the hands of the farmer or
dealer. be inspected and tagged.
The law charges the State seed
laboratory at Bozeman with the
duty of sampling the seed and
making purity and termination
tests. w. D. Hay, seed analyst
at the laboratory, has been des-
ignated as the official seed in
spector this year. :
This inspection allows the farm
er to choose seed which has a
good termination test. More than
that he is enabled to obtain seed
which has the minimum of weed
seed in it which might infect his
fields with noxious weeds.
A noticeable increase in inter
est has been observed this year
at the laboratory in the requests
for information concerning the
State Seed Law and for supplies
Of tags for labelling seed, accord
ing to w. o. Whitcomb, superin-
.endent of the laboratory. He has
issued a leaflet explaining the
seed law and the various phases
its functioning and all county (
AGRICULTURAL agents have been sup
olied with these booklets for dis
.ribution to farmers and seed
lealers.

averaging 500 pounds of milk and
30.3 pounds of butter fat. In this

Resolutions adopted during the
afternoon recommended that the
state laws on transportation OF
pupils should have another years
trial before any changes be te-
tempted.
1t was also recommended that
the question of changing the bas-
is of distribution of state and
county funds be referred to a
committee to work out plans to
be considered at the next conven-
ton. This apportionment meas
ure proved one of the main top
les of the convention. A resolu-
ton, asking that l cent of every
5 cents collected by the state
gasoline tax be turned over to
the common school fund, failed.
Table Question
The question of changing SEES
sion laws to make supplemental
budget permanent and change the
levy from not less than 8 mills
and not more than 5 mills was
tabled by delegates.
One of the features of the af-
terncon session was the approval
of a movement to cooperate with
the Montana Wool Growers asso-
citation which, is attempting to
change the present system of
leasing state lands. At present,
state lands are leased to the
highest bidder and the stockmen
feel that the system has proven
detrimental to the livestock in
in Montana.
The Montana School Boards
association feel particularly in
terested in the leasing of state
lands as from this source certain
funds r derived. The stockmen
desire that the legislature at it's
session appropriate money
have state grazing lands re-
classified on the forage acre bas-
and pass legislation to estab-
lish a uniform sale and leasing
value of the lands.
High School Subject
The status of the district high
school in its relation to the coun-
high school formed the most
important theme for discussion at
he Saturday morning session.
rhe subject was introduced with
IN address, Revision of High
School Laws" delivered by A. T.
Peterson, superintendent of the
Billings schools.
During the discussion that fol-
owed Mr.. Peterson's talk, the
was made by delegates of
mall district school boards that,
II those counties where a large
county high school was maintain

ambiguous position.
