CANE FEEDING
AND POISONING

(From County Agent Warden)
Prussic acid poisoning, the
cause of many livestock losses in
1881, is again a menace, but fewer
than a year ago. With fair growing
conditions during the late summer,
the cane crop is larger and less
apt to affect livestock.
Losses incurred in 1881 in Roose-
welt county resulted largely from
pasturing cane which had been
stunted by drouth. In many cases
pasturing had been practiced for
many weeks before any livestock
we're lost and then several losses
occurred in a short time. Death
came suddenly and often after eat
ing but a small amount Of forage.
In speaking of the danger from
feeding cane, Henry and Morrison,
feeding experts, state that cane
is normally a harmless plant and
it is only under drouth conditions
that danger appears. Second growth
sorghum is apparently dangerous
at times. AS the prussic acid large
ly disappears from the sorghum
when it is cured, dry sorghum, or
cane, is always safe feed.

LEAVITT URGES
AMORTIZATION

Great Falls, Aug. 27-Amortiza
ton of federal seed and feed loans
is the most practical solution OF
the present farm situation in many
parts on Montana, Congressman
Scott Leavitt stated today follow
ing a survey of conditions in var,
ious sections of his district.
"In northeastern Montana I found
many farms which will produce
practically nothing this year." the
Congressman said. "In a great
many other places my personal OBJ
servation and reports which l re-
ceived during the curse of large
meetings with farmers and bust
nessmen show that the average
will run only five bushels per acre.
Amortization providing three to five
years for repayment of the govern
ment loans is especially desirable
in those sections where crop fail
ure is combined with the low price.
1t is advisable that farmers be al
lowed to conserve their resources,
where necessary, to carry them
through the winter and allow them
to take advantage of the expected
recovery in business, making re-
payments when prices are higher.
have strongly urged adoption of
his plan upon the secretary of Ag-
'iculture and Reconstruction Fl
lance Cooperation" Mr.. Leavitt raid.
The Congressman stated that this
would be sound business policy for
10Th the farmers and the govern
nent, and that he was hopeful, fol
owing his presentation Of it, that
he proposal would be approved.

WHITE EAGLE CORP.
INTRODUCES MOBICAS

A new departure in gasoline is
announced here with the White
Eagle Oil corporation introducing
Mobilgas with Climatic Control.
Mobilgas-named to identify it
with the Mobiloil marketed by the
same organization-is said to be
the first gasoline which automat-
ically adapts itself to climatic
changes.
Climatic Control is the trade
name for this new feature-and was
evolved in the Mobilgas laborator-
les by means of hot-room and cold
room tests. Frequent variations in
engine heat. caused by climatic
changes, have long been recognize
ed as causes for unsatisfactory
ear performance. 1t is claimed that
Climatic Control gives Mobilgas
uniformity under widely different
weather conditions.
Mobilgas is marketed nationally
through the Socony-Vacuum Oil
Corporation of which White Eagle
is a subsidiary.
AS an expression of confidence
in the upturn Of business, White
Eagle is today launching a large
advertising campaign on Mobilgas.
This paper is one of a carefully
selected list in twelve states to
carry White Eagle advertising.
White Eagle products are distri-
buted locally by the Equity Co
operative Assn.

SOIL BLOWING CONTROL
METHODS USED in STATE

Soil blowing in Montana is {
problem which will not solve it
self, but will become more aggra
waited as time goes on, causing {
direct loss of crops and making
further inroads into the farm in
come by reducing the summer fal
fow acreage, declares Sam Sloan
extension agronomist at the Mon.
tana State college.
The immediate cause of the soil
blowing is a series of dry years
which usually are accompanied by
high wind velocities. When these
occur after long periods of crop
ping, excessive and untimely cul-
tivation, often with improper i'm
plements, the damage may be es-
pecially severe, explains Sloan.
On the margin of soil blowing
areas, a temporary means of con
trolling blowing is by the plowless
fallow system. This leaves stub
BILE and trash on the surface which
hold down the soil particles e
in the face of a rather high wind.
The duckfoot cultivator and the
rotary rod weeded, or implements
which do not break up clods are
suitable for this system of control,
Excessive use of the disk and the
spike tooth harrow p%ulverizes the
surface and leaves the ground in
ideal condition for being lifted by
the wind, according to Sloan.
In regions where the soil is light
and blowing has become chronic,
strip farming appears to be the
only solution. Strip farming is not
new in Montana, Sloan says. 1t is
used almost exclusively in the
Square Butte area in Chouteau
county and is spreading rapidly
the Big Flat country in north
ern Blaine county. Other scatter
ID areas owe most of the northern
md northeastern Montana r US
ng this method.
Strip farming as explained by
;loan, means laying out the farm
4 alternate faIlowed and cropped
running north and south.
he strips range from II to 20 rods
1 width. This system means more
and leaves more corners
, work out, but 20 rod strips can
e adapted to large type machin-
~ without any loss if properly
i'd out. Crop varieties can be
olated and 0ftimes a week can :

g as early ripened strips can be
,mbined in advance of the others. !
This is a real advantage because :

LAM BIS

Last year with feed supplies
low, 25 important livestock couh-
ties OF the state shipped 879,250
head of lambs. This year the
same counties will ship about 1885,
900 head, a decrease of 13 per
cent, estimates from county extern
sion agents reveal. Reports indi-
cate, however, that only about 81
per cent of the eve lambs are be-
ing held over, which means a still
further shrink in sheep population
in the years just ahead.

BUILD RESERVOIRS NOW
advice OF ENGINEER
From 90. Agent warden

(From Co. Agent Warden)
Now is a good time to lay out
a storage reservoir site and build
a dam which will imprison enough
water to irrigate some crops OF
provide an all-summer watering
place for livestock, advises II. E.
Murdoch, head of the agricultural
engineering department at Montana
State college.
There are so many of these res
ervoirs now in successful opera
ton that there is little danger of
failure provided the builder profits
by the experience gained in the
more than 10 years this work has
been carried on in the state, Muir
dock states. Dams may be made of
dirt and will hold if they are
given the right slope, built high
enough and are provided with a
good outlet and an ample spillway.
The principal cause of dam fail
ures when flood irrigation was first
started was sliding, overturning or
washing out, according to MUIR
dock. These failures We're traced
to water oversopping the dams,
finding a way along fissures and
cracks or forcing too thin walls.
Nearly 80 percent of the early
failures were due to insufficient
spillways. Before starting on
struction of a dam the farmer
should arrive at a very liberal es-
innate of the amount of water
which may, during any time of the
year, run through the coulee in
which the dam will be constructed.
Heavy rains and even cloudbursts
may be expected periodically and
the spillway must be large enough
to take care of all of this excess
water or the dam will more than
likely go out.
Another reason for dams washing
out it because they are not wide
enough, Murdoch says. Water pres
sure will force out a narrow dam.
Never build dams to a peak, but
made the top wide, the slope gent
e, and riprap the water side.

He adds: IF a dam is worth the
at all, it is worth being
tilted with a permanent outlet, one =
hat can be controlled at any time

Mt outlet pipe will effectually pre-
