BEARS NIGHT VISIT
UPSETS TRAIL CREW.

MISSOULA.-This is a real bear
story! The moral, If any there be, is
that one should not be too anxious to
get away from brun when he is in an
inquisitive mood
1t all happened one night recently
when Frank T. Bailey, a worker on the
F1athead national forest. bedded down
out-of-doors after hard days work
with three other forest service en-
ployees on the Danaher trail in the
Big Prairie district
Bailey's sound slumber was disturbed
by prowling bear shifting at his face.
Bailey jumped first, probably intend
ing to think afterwards. The bear,
perhaps playfully, seized Bailey's left
shoulder in its mouth and shook the
man mildly. Bailey yelled, and soon the
camp was in hubbub,
The bear had released Bailey, but
remained at the camp attracted by the
commotion. The mems flashlight failed,
and in the darkness John Stanley, a
member of the trail crew, bumped into
the bears back. Action was fast. The
bear whirled, growled; Stanley jumped,
grabbed a stick of wood and hurled it.
Undeterred, the bear advanced; Stan
ley retreated hurriedly, stumbled over
Bailey's bed and knocked Bailey down
as he fell Then the bear vamoosed.
Bailey did not come out unscathed
His shoulder bore two welts where
bruins teeth had left their marks, and
1t was evident that only the heavy bed
tarp Bailey had over his shoulder pre-
vented serious injury.
This bear a medium sized brown
had raided the trail camp the previous
day, stealing a couple of pounds of
bacon, can of butter and a half
dozen eggs.

Makes Good Fall Pasturage.

BOZEMAN--Livestock growers who
are planning to plant supplemental feed
crops will find winter rye the most GER
tain of the annual feeds, advises Ralph
d. Mercer, extension agronomist at
Montana State college. Because the
seed supply Of winter rye is scarce, the
agronomist said, it will be necessary
for growers to make early plans for
planting.
For fall and spring pasture, Mercer
recommends seeding winter rye be-
tween August and Is at the rate Of
40 to go pounds per acre on clean sum-
merfallow. The same rate Of seeding
is recommended when the crop is to be
sown for hay alone but it should be
seeded about September l. The agro-
nomist recommends the Dakota and
Rosen varieties.
Providing moisture conditions i'm
prove sufficiently between now and the
fore part of August, winter rye should
produce enough fall and spring pasture
to materially help the feed situation,
Mercer said. He points out that win
ter rye seldom fails to produce fall
pasture and also comes through the
winter in good condition. Damage from
grasshoppers will be confined largely
to the outside edges in the fall and the
crop is harvested before much hopper
damage is done after Matching In the
spring.
Experiments conducted over ten.
year period at the North Montana
branch experiment station near Havre
resulted in an average yield Of 3,851
pounds of rye per acre, Mercer said.
