The Crickefs
Are
In Some Sections of the County
County Agent Tells How
To Combat Pests,

Reports of crickets Matching out
in some sections Of the county
have been received at the office
of County Agent Geo. w. Gustaf-
son. Anticipating the outbreak
of crickets and grasshoppers, pre-
parations have been made by the
Crow Agency office and board of
county commissioners to provide
material TO poison them as soon
as they make their appearance.
Under the direction of the E.
c. w. administration at Crow
Agency, cricket poison dust has
been mixed which is now available
to farmers on the reservation.
Busting guns will also be loaned
to those who wish them. Early
and systematic spreading of the
poison dust will prove effective
in killing the crickets before they
begin to scatter from the hatch
ing areas.
At the meeting held in Bill
ines, Saturday, attended by farm
ers, boards of county commission
erS, entOmolOgiSts and REPRESENT
atives of the Crow reservation,
the following recommendations
were made for Carbon, Yellow
stone, and Bio Horn counties:
l. That all counties will han
die the cricket poison uniformly.
2. That a man shall be provid-
ed bv the county to supervise
the poisoning campaign.
8. That the counties furnish
busting guns and pay for one-half
the cost Of the poison bait.
4. Before any cricket poisoning
IS done, a district organization be
set up in the community and
that everv farmer be enlisted in
the work of busting crickets where
needed.
Materials furnished through the
Crow Agency will be issued with
out charge to farmers on the
reservation.
Reports of crickets Matching
should be sent in to County Agent
Geo. w. GuStafson.

In Consequence Big Horn County
Rapidly Increasing Its
Beet Acreage.

With the construction of the
Hardin Sugar factory and the
need of sugar beets for the new
mill, sugar beet growers in Big
Horn county are preparing to
plant sufficient acreage to furnish
the new factory with a big initial
run this fall. When asked what
acreage would be needed, Geo. L.
Morrison, chief agriculturist for
the Sheridan and Hardin factories,
stated the Hardin mill should
have at least fifteen thousand
planted acres in 1887.
In further discussing the value
OF this crop, he stated that in
1885 the average yield for Big
Horn county was 1914 tons sugar
beets per ere. For this crop the
grower received $7.24 per ton, or
a gross return of $88. So per acre
Deducting $500 for seed, $2.37 for
phosphate, and $22.10 for hand
labor, including thinning, hoeing,
weddings and topping, or a total
OF 1924 e acre, left the grower
s60.C3 per acre, on the average for
his work of blowing, preparing the
seed bed, planting, cultivating,
irrtgating, and hauling the crop
to market.
Sugar beets produce more cash
per acre, furnish more labor per
acre, and pay the labor higher
wages per hour than any other
field crop grown in Big Horn
county and in addition to this
produces a. much livestock feed,
as a by-product, as is produced
on an average acre of alfalfa hay.
Land owners and farmers real
izing the value of sugar beets
on their farms are planting all
increasingly larger acreage. real
izing that sugar beets in the west
has the same significance in a
crop rotation in the west as corn
has in the middle west and is
more valuable as a hoed crop for
the following reasons:
l: Wedding is done by contract
and fields are kept cleaner. Weeds
are not allowed to 60 to seed in
we'll cared for beet fields,
2. Sugar beets are a cash con-
tract crop and the grower knows
the CROP will be bought and paid
for when harvested.
8. Sugar beets remove less fer
t1llty from the soil than any
other field crops of corresponding
yields.
4. The sugar beet is the most
dependable crop that can be grown
on western irrigated lands.
5. Harvesting begins after all
other crops have been completed.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1937-03-19
g BEETS PAY BEST
ANY CROP GROWN HERE

thus an average beet grower will
harvest a crop of sugar beets
valued at from one thousand to
two thousand dollars or more af-
ter the harvest period of grain,
hay. and other field crops is past.
Where the present high prices
of seed wheat, oats, barley, and
other crops prevail, the tendency
of farmers is to increase the sugar
beet acreage, as the seeG and
phosphate is furnished by the
sugar comnanv and deducted from.
the crop in the fall.
The following statement is from
1.-The Farm Outlook for 1857
U. S. DEPARTMENT of Agriculture,
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics,
Miscl. Publication No. 255:
"A large increase in wheat pro-
duction and declining prices are
in prospect for 1897, both for the
United States and the world as
a whole, if growing conditions are
average"
On irrigated lands MI. Morrison
advises growers to plant the maxi
mum acreage to sugar beets this
year.

This cost is the same where STU

The school income will probably
be $4,000 less this year than last
because of lowered valuation OF

time increased enrolment and
