REGRASSING OF
ABANDONED LAND
BRONZE GRASS, SLENDER WHEAT
GRASS AND CRESTED WHEAT
GRASS PROVE GOOD

Reseeding Of plowed and abandon
ed dry lands to valuable grasses IS
not a hopeless undertaking, accord
ing to Leon C.. HURT, associate range
= examiner of. the United States forest
service, who. has just completed pre-
liminary results of an artificial re-
seeding project started in the fall OF
1888. hy the Northern Rocky Noun:
tain Forest and Range Experiment
, station.
Approximately 225 acres were seeded
under this emergency" financed project
in the fall of 1888 and in the spring OF
1894. Fairly satisfactory stands were
obtained on one third OF this acreage
despite one of the worst drouths ON
record through eastern Montana. Ap-
proximately 425 additional acres were
reseeded in the fall Of 1884 under this
project, which now includes test areas
in q Montana counties. Results OF this
recent work will not be available be-
fore the fall of 1885.
Bronze grass, slender wheat grass,
meadow fescue, and tall oat grass are
all promising species, but the most sue
cessful one to date is the crested wheat
grass, a species introduced few years
ago from the cold, dry portion OF ST.
IBERIA.
This range reseeding project is not
conducted with the idea that all dry
farm lands of eastern Montana should
be regrassed and that all farmers
should move out However, it is quite
generally conceded that too much land
of an essentially range character was
plowed up in the 2os. The range re-
seeding work is accordingly planned
to assist in restoring proper balance
between range and crop land at the
lowest possible expense. Preliminary
figures indicate that this work may be
done at a cash outlay of about 81 per
acre for seed. This includes nothing
for labor, team hire, ETC.. and nothing
for soil preparation since most OF the
tests have been made without any cul-
tivation or other soil preparation.

RECORD BOOK Is :.
NOW. AVAILABLE
NEW BOOK is REVISION OF ONE
USED IN 1884; ADVANTAGE
TO HAVE ONE

(MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
Designed to aid farmers in main
tanning a systematic accounting Of
farm operations, $1,000 copies Of the
revised 1895 Farm Record book, pre-
pared by the office of Cooperative Ex-
tension work of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, in ceopera-
ton with the agricultural adjustment
administration and state extension
economists, have been received in
Montana and are now in the hands OF
the various adjustment control as
ISOLATION secretaries, it is announced
by Austin Goth, farm management
demOnstrator.
While the new book REPRESENTS re-
vision of the book used in 1884, Goth
pointed out that it maintains its SIM
plicity and is improved by the addition
of space for inventories, cost records
and financial summaries. Additional
space also has been provided for poul-
try and dairy accounts, making the
book a more complete record for farm
operations.
At the time the books are distribut-
ed to farmers, which, in most instances,
will be at community meetings held
during January, the associations will
want to help the cooperators complete
their 1884 record books, make combin-
ed summaries of all members records
in the association, and explain the 1885
book.
The farm management demonstration
said there were four outstanding bene-
fits to keeping record books. These he
listed as follows:
/. When seeking credit, record OF
great value.
2. Helps in planning future farm
operations.
8. Substantiates base period evidence
for future programs.
3. Helpful in proving compliance.
Emphasizing that while it is lot
compulsory that a farmer cooperating
in an adjustment program keep one OF
the record books, Goth pointed out that
it is to his advantage to do so.

FEDERAL CENSUS
NOW UNDER WAY.
MONTANA FARM DATA IS BEING
COMPILED BY STAFF IN
TREASURE STATE

The federal farm census, which be-
gan throughout the United States on
Jan. 2, started in western Montana
under the direction of w. L. Stockton,
whose offices are in the federal
building on North Main street in
Butte. Director Stockton. during De-
cember, marshalled force of census
takers who will assemble during the
coming weeks mass of data on
Montana farming that is expected to
be of immense value to the federal
authorities in dealing with the prob
lens of agriculture.
Director Stockton, who has charge of
the western Montana district, desires
that every farmer in his district be
advised that the census takers are
sworn to secrecy regarding these re-
ports and, further, that these reports
will not be used as basis for taxa
ton. Neither will they be commune
Gated to any tax official.
The census is intended to be COM
prehensive one, although not nearly so
all-embracing as the national census
of 1890. The present census schedule
is divided into eight major sections,
comprising 100 questions.
1t is the purpose of the director to
assemble the farm data as quickly as
possible in order that it may become
available at the earliest possible date
for the use of the federal authorities
in dealing with the farm situation.

accurate in every possible detail. Farm

PHOSPHATE fertilizer FOR ALFALFA

Nitrogen is the only one of the plant
foods that is increased in the soil when
alfalfa is grown, all the others are being
removed. Because Of the great uro-
ductivity Of crops following alfalfa
there is a tendency toward the belief
that alfalfa does not need fertilization
This idea was largely true when the
soil was new, but the decline, of alfalfa
yields on many fields explains why ad-
ditions of phosphate fertilizers increase
its yield. 80,
Phosphate. was tried this year on 80
farms in south central Montana. One
third of these trials gave no response,
one-third gave a fair response and IL,
or the remaining ofie-third, made an
average increase Of 1,195 pounds of hay
per acre for the second cutting. It is
safe to say that one out of every two
fields Of alfalfa. will respond to phos-
phate. One hundred and twenty-five
pounds of treble superphosphate per
acre was used in these experiments at
a cost of $500 for the material. When
the yield is increased LOGO pounds per
acre per cutting, one cutting will pay
for the fertilizer when hay is $500 per
ton. Ordinarily the response from l25
pounds of phosphate may be expected
to continue for four to. six cuttings.
When one cutting will pay the cost of
materials, the increase from the other
cuttings is profit.
In addition to increased yield the
quality of the hay as a feed is improved
Almost invariably an application of
phosphate fertilizer increases the phos-
phorus content of the hay. It is gen.
orally accepted that animals, especially
in some regions, need more phosphorus.
The application of phosphate fertilizer
to alfalfa is good means of meeting
this demand. No exact figures are
available but large, portion of any
phosphate put on the soil is recovered
in the hay and utilized by the animals
that consume it..
Still another advantage in the appli-
cation of phosphate to alfalfa is found
in succeeding crops: The addition OF
nitrogen to the soil by alfalfa has al,
ready been referred to and is we'll
known A good crop of alfalfa with
large we'll developed roots adds more
nitrogen to the soil than. a poor one.
Thus, the crops following good crop
of alfalfa will be increased.
With the three advantages gained by
the use of phosphate fertilizer on al
falfa; increased yield, better quality
of hay, and more nitrogen added for
succeeding crops, there will be a good
return ON the investment in phosphate
for many alfalfa fields in Montana.

Wilentz intended to inf1ame the jury"
Justice Trenchard denied the mo-

Justice Trenchard permitted Reilly
to take an exception to his ruling for
purposes of possible appeal.
The justice expressed the opinion,
when denying the motion, that the
jury understood it must weigh the
evidence dispassionately.
There was a brief delay as maps of
the Sourland Mountain area were be-

from the ground was IA feet 3 inches.
