An employee Of the Pomona Box

not included in the shed workers

day to state that the company had
granted an increase of Is per cent
in the wages of its employees. This
action was taken, the informant

wages to the workers. This COM

FALL SEEDING OF
WHEATGRASS
EXPERIMENTS HAVE BEEN CON-
QUOTED AT JUDITH BASIN AND
HAVRE STATIONS
MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

tMONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Fall seeding of crested wheatgrasS
has been so successful at the Judith
Basin branch of the Montana Expert
ment station for a number of years
and al the Havre branch last year
that Sam l.. Sloan, extension agron-
omist at Montana State college, is
recommending this method, particul-
arly on old abandonded land and
stubble land. or wherever it is not
practical to give much attention to
seed bed preparation.
Under such conditions, Mr. Sloan
says in letters to county extension
agents, it is usually not desirable to
seed too early in the fall, preferably
waiting until the latter part of october
or first of November, or just before
the freezing weather sets in.
In thistle or weed covered fields, or
In stubble land, the single disc drill
with furrow opener is recommended

In the drill box as it does not feed
down satisfactorily in a grass seed at

to push the trash aside and make a

land preparation is necessary. The us

different classes of land, varying in
length of time since abandonment, de-
prees of weed i%nfestation, stubble land
and in different methods of seeding. .
THE strip method of seeding should
be tried on some large tracts OF low
grade abandoned land where protection
can be provided for at least three years
to permit seed production. The strip
method involves seeding drill width
strips in rows, sowing a strip about
every 100 feet at right angles to the
prevailing winds or at right angles to
the slope on land having a rather steep
pitch. The seed requirements for this
method would be only two-tenths to
could be followed up by cultivating
some of the strips the second year for
seed production, seeding some of the
intervening spaces to speed up the re-
grassing process and driving sheep
through the strips after the seed is ripe.

Sa,Dfy Damaging
Crops in Sheridan

Wheat yields in sections of Sheridan
county have been cut from 5 to is per
cent by a parasite called the sawfly,
says M. J. Peterson, county agent, who
made an inspection tour Of be-
lieved infected.
Sawfly damage is noticeable along
edges of wheat fields. The wheat stems
are cut off about one inch from the
ground. It may be distinguished from
Hessian fly damage by fine dust in
the stem when sawflies have caused
the damage, says the county agent.
Flies attacking fields in the Outlook
country have taken a toll. Some fields
are reported to have been cut so per
cent. while a conservative estimate on
fields damaged, would be from 5 to Is
per cent, the county agent said.
All parts of Sheridan county have
not been inspected for sawfly, but an
inspection Of the Medicine Lake coun-
try and other sections of south Sheri-
dan county revealed no damage.
