WEEKLY LETTER

THE small margin of profit tina

der present prices is n of tn,
strongest factors in changing tn,
farmers from the stubbling-il
method to the alternate fallow ant
wheat system" says Waldo Kid
der, extension agronomist at Mon
tana State college.
The modern wheat farmer has
a large investment in equipment
and land. The necessity for keep.
ing the income high enough to pay
a reasonable return on invest
ment prohibits taking risks. Years
OF experimentation have proved
conclusively that the best way of
removing risks is by the alterna-
tie fallow system.
In speaking of the advantages
of the alternate fallow and wheat
method, as compared to stubbling-
in, the agronomist calls attention
to practical tests carried on in the
state which proves that twice as
many bushels will be produced
per acre under normal conditions.
Other advantages are that the
land remains comparatively free
of weeds under the alternate fall
low system if good seed is used,
operations can be more timely and
the crop is of high quality.
The weed hazard is one of the
greatest disadvantages of the stub
bling-in method. in the opinion of
the a~gronomist. Weed seed may
lie dormant for several years and
the stubbling-in process increases
the supply. The alternate fallow
successfully kills a large share If
these weeds and makes available
just that much more moisture for
the wheat crop. Continued prac-
tice of alternate fallow is the best
assurance of weed-free soil.

The newborn calf should be
left with it's mother two or three
days and longer if weak. Weaving
can be accomplished quickly if tho
calf is removed to another stall or
pen while the mother is away
Then the calf should be given it's

and then milk from the herd just

The dairy specialist recommends
feeding one pint of the herd milk
daily, for each nine pounds of live
weight. This recommendation is
made for herd milk that tests less

tests more than four per cent, the
calf should be fed at the rate Of

live weight.
Calves should be taught to eat
