should r prosperous On good land,
while roor lard many are barely
eking an existence.
Know Your Soil
Soils are called light, medium or
heavy. This refers to the working Of
them. tsualy the medium soils are
preferable. Light soils are usually
sandy. and weigh more PEI cubic foot
(about 10 lbs.) than so called heavy
clay or gumbo-soils, which weigh IS
pounds per cubic foot. The medium
soils, a mixture of sand and clay,
weigh about 80 pounds per cubic loot.
The amount of organic matter-rot-
ted manure, roots, tops etc. of plants
is called humus. Humus IS the Life
OF the soil. Most of the important ell
ement nitrogen comes from the humus.
This humus is also most important N
holding soil moisture The top three
feet of a sandy soil after good rains
might retain 10 percent of moisture; a
loamy-clay soil 20 percent, while a
good humus soil would have 30 per-
cent. Much can be done to improve the
fertility and moisture-holding capacity
OF soils by crop rotation, manuring etc
Much Water Needed
Water enough to cover an acre one
inch deep weighs 113 tons A 20-bushel
crop of wheat requires 6 inches Of
water, or 678 tons per acre. weeds
and evaporation may take as much as
the CROP This is 1130 pounds Of wa
ter used for each pound of wheat
threshed. Other crops vary as to their
requirements, but all use a lot of wa
ter.
Rains soak the soil, but if the land
is sloping and the rains come faster
than it can be absorbed, the water
runs off, carrying away the best part
OF the soil, and often washing gull
lies, which if not stopped, 0 ruins
farms.
Keep Your Farm at Home
Soil should be kept in condition to
absorb moisture. Terracing slopes Of
one-foot or more per hundred, holds
the water until it soaks in, and pre-
vents washing. Soils hat blow should
be seeded to grass or timber, or hand
led in strips, so as to prevent drifting.
1t is the best part of the soil that drifts
or washes away. Proper rotation of
crops, manure, lime, and fertilizer
should keep the land productive. Ter
racing and proper management of
crops should prevent washing and
drifting, and enable us to Keep the
Farm at Home"

FARMERS HERE TO
PLANT SHELTERS

A large number of Sheridan county
farmers have ordered trees to start
new shelterbells or fill in old ones,
says County Agent Peterson.
Almost 5000 trees had been ordered
up to the closing date for making APP
plications. The three most popular
varieties in order named were: Cara
CANA, Russian Olive and Chinese Elm.
Other varieties ordered were: Ameri-
can Elm, Green Ash, Black Hill
Spruce, Colorado Blue Spruce and
Douglas Fir.
Contrary TO the opinion of many
famers a shelterbelt is not costly. A
shelterbelt $50 feet wide and 400 feet
long will not cost over seven to ten
dollars and may not cost over five
dollars.
The area to be planted should be
summerfallowed a year in advance.
The first cultivation should be made
before June LIST. Such a preparation
will assure a shelterbelt if weeds are
destroyed at all times. The best prac-
tice is TO plant in rows twelve feet
apart and trees twelve feet apart. This
provides ample root space and de-
creases the possibility Of trees dying.

DOZEN IN COUNTY
GET HOME LOANS

Oh the 2,514 loans %aggregating ST.
3O0.300 made in Montana by banks
and other private lending agencies up
to April Both Of this year under the
Federal Housing Administration mod
ernization credit plan twelve borrow
ers in Sheridan county took advan-
tage of the plan for loans totalling
IS, $1,000, said Barclay Craighead, state
director of the Housing Administra :
ton.
These advances of credit, classified
generally as character loans, were OBJ
tanned for the purpose of financing re-
pairs, improvements, m~odernization or
equipment for private homes, income
property, business and Industrial
plants and other types of structures
coming under the eligibility regula-
tons of the Federal Housing Admins
tration.
While the range of the Montana
loans ran from $50, or even less, up to
figures high in the thousands, the v
erage Of all loans was S517, a figure
about 60 percent higher than the v
erage for the nation as a whole.
D.. The periods of these loans range
from one to five years and they are
repayable in equal monthly INSTALL
ments. They are not to be confused,
said Mr.. Craighead, with the long,
term amortized mortgage loans for the
construction or puchase of city or town
homes or the refinancing of existing
mortgages upon such properties.

We don't ordinarily think OF a farm
going away, but it is a fact that thous-
ands OF tracts Of land that were once
good farms are today worthless for or
binary farming purposes. That which
made this land suitable for farming is
gone. The farmers have moved away,
the buildings are vacant or gone tc
ruin, and the whole country has a for
saken, dilapidaied, abandoned appear
ance. This change, from a good farm
TO one that is abandoned, comes very
granddaughter extending in time fer
several generations, so that the change
is hardly noticed.
The reason for this change is, that
nearly all the fertility has been taken
from the soil; soil erosion-washing
away of the top soil and cutting the
land up to such an extent that it is
useless, or as is happening in some
regions, the soil is blowing away. Mil
Lon of acres Of our Great Plains
Country is damaged from a slight ex-
tent to permanent ruin, from the
drouth and winds of the past few
years. The farms literally got up and
left.
Crop Production
All our common crops grow from
the soil. They take up elements dis
solved in soil moisture, which by the
action of sunlight on the leaves is
combined with elements from the air
to produce the crops-pasture, hay,
grain, fruit, timber etc. When the soil
contains a abundance of these elem
ents in proper proportion, and there
is moisture, air and sunlight, we may
expect maximum production, if WI
have planted good seed and given the
crop proper condition for growth.
Good new land usually produces
satisfactorily; the soil contains all the
elements necessary, and properly bal
anced to grow good crops. Some land,
such as peat soil, may lack some ell
emena, the addition of which may
make them productive. Some may
have a super-abundance of a certain
element, that upsets production. BY
careful observation and trial, or an
alysis of the soil, these defects can be
corrected.
Land wears out" because the elem
ents needed to produce are removed
from the soil-by the crops taken off,
washing or teaching, or blowing away.
When the larger part Of the crops
grown are fed on the farm, and only
animal products are sold-butter in
PARLIAMENTARY all the fertility TAX
en- out of the soil can be put back, and
should be. If the crops grown are sold,
or the produced from feeding
the crops is not put back, there is a
constant removal of the fertility, ard
ultimately the land wears out or com
mercial fertilizers must be used to
produce crops.
Top Soil Richest
Most of the elements that produce
crops is in the top foot of soil. It is said
that if the top foot of soil were re-
moved from all the land on our planet,
that life as we know it, would cease
to exist in a very short time. One-inch
of good top soil on an acre, is estimat-
ed to be worth five hundred bushels
of wheat. These observations should
impress us with the importance of
keeping our top soil at home, and
maintaining the fertility. 1t is just as
much work, or more, to farm worm
out, quilted or blow land, as it is to
farm good rich productive land. We
