CUT WEEDS NOW
SAVE TIME LATER
MINUTES TODAY WILL SAVE
DAYS OF HARD WORK
IN 1899

The farmer who spends a fev
minutes now cutting Small matches
Of perennial weeds Scattered aionr
the edges and within grain fields
Will save himself days of work in
1889 and weeks, of labor in 1940.
says Clyde Mckee, professor Of
agrOnOmy at the Montana aericnI-
tura1 experiment station.
Cutting the weeds now is especially
timely, Mckee said, because this is The
last chance before the weeds mature
and because they have put their energy
into seed production and are ia a
weakened condition. He recommends
cutting them with a scythe or mower
and then punching and burning, Such
measures taken will mean Smaller
instead OF larger patches next year
he said.
The agronomist points out that per-
ennial weeds r the most serious be-
cause they spread both by rootstalks
and seeds. Already they cost the state
millions of dollars annually and unless
fought every year they will soon spread
over such g large area that they can
not be eradicated.
TO assist farmers in controlling
perennial weeds, Mckee suggests that
they obtain a copy of the new Montana
extension service bulletin, Perennial
Weeds and Their Control" This bull
letin, which contains pictures and de-
scriptions Of ten Of the most important
weeds in Montana, may be obtained
from county extension agents or by
writing direct to the Montana extension
service, Bozeman.

IS
HARD TO THRESH
GROWERS SHOULD TAKE PRE-.
CAUTIONS IN HARVESTING
THIS CROP

Because crested wheatgrass shat
tiers more thar any grain or grass
crop, growers should take more
than usual precautions when har-
yestlng and threshing, advises
omist at Montana State college.
The important point in harvesting
Is the time, Mercer says. Don't wait
until it is too ripe" as the shattering
will cut down the seed yield "enor-
mously." Cut when the seed still shows
a light greenish color and the spikelets
hold to the stem when pressed be-
tween the fingers. He also suggests
cutting in the forenoon when there is
more moisture in the plant.
Mercer gives first place in harvest
ing machinery. to the reaper used ex-
tensively for harvesting alfalfa seed.
This machine punches the crested
Wheatgrass with as little violent hand
stack or thresher on a solid bottom
rack, the loss of seed will be small.
After getting the opinions of a num-
Der OF growers, Mercer received cor
r~oboration of his belief that an ordinary
grain binder will cause a seed loss as
OF the binder in forming bundles and
dumping them out on the ground
causes much shattering. A combine
also causes a heavy seed loss.
Another good machine for harvest
ing crested wheatgrass is a mower to
which a windrower may be attached
if the grass is not too ripe. Headers
cause little wastage when the can
vases are good.
After harvesting with little shatter-
ing, even more a r should be taken
while threshing, Mercer says. The
crested wheatgrass seed is hard to
thresh because of its light weight. A
bushel weighs but % pounds. Such
light seed is easily blown out with the
straw.
Certain adjustments in the separator
have given producers excellent results.
They are chiefly adjusting the machine
so the straw will not be ground too
fine. The most successful practice re-
ported by growers is to remove all
concave teeth, to reduce the speed of
the cylinder and some even advocate
lowering the ear of the separator.
To prevent blowing the light seed
out of the machine with the straw,
careful fan adjustments are recon-
mended. The top air inlet of the fan is
closed entirely and the lower inlet adj
justed finely. The chatter is adjusted
so straw and chaff will not pass
through, and the weed opening in the
bottom Of the shoe is closed.

Pitcher Hoon could Field

Be it ever so close to third base,
there's no place like home.
Kirby Hoon was pitching for Butte
against Tacoma in the Pacific North
Hoon's fielding, more than his pitching,
did the trick.
In six innings of the game, Tacoma
had a runner on third base four times
with n out, ono with two out, and
one time with none out.
Strange as it seems, the side was
retired in each of the innings on balls
hit to the pitcher. That day Hoon had
nine assists. That day Tacoma made
nine hits. That day Tacoma went score
less for the nine innings. That day
Butte scored nine runs.

climax to a controversial affair.
Members of both Houses have ac-
quired some frazZled nerves in
the past five weeks. OF the legis-
lation for which this session was
called, little has been passed and
the rest is not much farther along
than at the end of the regular ses-
sion.
The present session stands to
dwindle away without the usual
pomp and ceremony of adjourn
ment, for Congressman, like mem
bers of an audience tired of a long
winded speaker, are sneaking out
through the back door of the Capt.
tol and hurrying home for Christ
mas They had no particular love
for their special session business
anyway.
There are several pending deci-
sions which will materially affect
Arizona. Some are presidential
proclamations and others acts of
Congress.
One of the most anxiously awited
words from the President concerns
his silver-buying policy for the COM
ing year. The present subsidy holds
the metal at Y cents an ounce
which is double the world market
After congressman from the Rocky
Mountain States formally request
ed favorable action on the matter,
President Roosevelt assured them
of his interest and that their Teco-
lamentations would "be given every
consideration in the final determin-
ation.'
Some in the offing is a north-and-
south air-mail route for the state.
The latest development is the new
regular stop at Boulder City, Ne
Vada. There is already a connect
ing line to the Grand Canyon, and
it is hoped that soon there will be
regular flights between Phoenix
and the Canyon by way of Prescott.
Arizona's southern airway would
then be connected with the north
ern, and an air-mail stamp could
be used for something besides
writing to your Aunt Emma back
in Iowa.

Car Dealers Offer
Gift Suggestions

When the more prosaic Christ
mas gifts have been considered,
reconsidered, and rejected for that
hard-to-please person on the shop
ing list, Chevrolet dealers have 4
number of suggestions to make. And
that they are more than acceptable
to the average man or woman is
proved by a impartial survey of
1000 persons, made recently in New
York.
In the nations largest city, re-
porters interviewed 1000 miscel-
laneous men and women, asking
each his or her preference in Christ
mas gifts. 1t is significant that, out
of p items specifically named, ac-
cessoies rated fourth, topped only
by such gift standbys as wearing
apparel, jewelry and household
goods.
Chevrolet had added considerably
to its line of accessories, for the
1888 season, according to M. D..
Douglas, parts and accessories
merchandising manager.
Adaptable for use on almost any
make of automobile, Chevrolet ac-
cessories have long been looked to
as practical Christmas gifts that
keep on giving right through the
year.
