GIVE LAND
GOAT

In line with a previously an
nOunced aim of the 1888 AAA
farm program of restoring, so
far as possible, permanent veg
etative cover on land unSuited
to continued production of cul-
tivated crops, the Agricultural
Administration announces res
toration goals ~totalling six mil
lion acres for ten states in the
Great Plains area. OF this am
cunt 875, 1000 acres is Montana'S
land restoration goal, according
to information given by J. c.
Taylor, director, Montana EX-
tension Service.
In announcing this phase of
the program, H. R. Tolley, AAA
administrator, said that lit is a
matter of general agreement
that in WindSWept areas of lit
tie rainfall, much good grazing
land has been put to unprofit-
able cultivation. Such use of
the land results in serious wind
erosion, and usually the crops
planted on it return inadequate
income.
This year the AAA program
offers farmers in the Great
Plains area assistance in re-
turning some of that kind of
land permanently to grass. Pay
ments of so cents an acre will
be made to farmers cooperat-
ing in the program for taking
land unfit for cultivation off
a cropland basis and letting it
return permanently to natural
cover"
The Triple-A administrator
then goes on to point out that
the program will encourage in
dividuals to contribute to a
national program of better land
use, and at the same time i'm
prove their own farming OPP
erations.

Hints to Gardeners
BY Harold Coulter
Plant Expert
Ferry Seed institute
New Practices

CERTAIN old-time practices in
" gardening are just as good to-
day as they were fifty or a hundred
and fifty years ago. But just as
surely, certain others should be put
aside as experience proves them
unwise and impractical.
Gardeners. for instance, should
no longer follow the practice Of
allowing all vegetables to grow as
large as possible. This may give a
higher yield in pounds, but with
many vegetables it destroys quality.
Some, Of course. like tomatoes.
FAUST be mature to be palatable;
but carrots, cucumbers, beets, sum.
mer squash, r%utabaga, radishes and
other vegetables like them are more
tender and tasty when hardly more
than half grown.
Deep hoeing, once practiced by
the majority of gardeners, is now
generally frowned on as having no
real purpose and being damaging to
plants. Many gardeners now use
the hoe only to scrape off weeds.
Deeper hoeing is unnecessary, and
often breaks off hidden lateral roots.
Few gardeners save flower seeds
nowadays as they did years ago.
Fine flowers in the home garden
very often are cross-pollinated by
other flowers Of the same species.
making flowers grown from their
seed inferior and untrue because
Of contamination of strain. Com.
mercial seed growers devote much
study and planning to prevention Of
cross-pollination in their crops.
The practice Of planting vege.
tables only in the spring is likewise
becoming unpopular. Gardens prove
more profitable when successive
paintings Of favorite crops are made
every two or three weeks, to keep
fresh vegetables coming to the
table over a period Of many weeks.
Numerous crops are planted even
in late summer. for fall use or for
storage.
More intelligent use of manure
and other fertilizers is becoming
prevalent as gardeners learn that
limited. measured amounts often
do many times the good done by
unnecessarily heavy applications.

Glacier Wild Life
Has Wintered Well

Monthly reports of the park
rangers in Glacier National
Park for the month of March
bring to light a number of in
tereSting matters relative to
park wildlife according to a re-
view just made at the park
headquarters office. Among
other things it is evident that
all animals Wintered in unuS-
ually good condition.
Park Ranger L. F. Keller re-
ports that wolverines are ap-
parently increasing in the kis-
henehn District in the north
west corner of the reservation
and the adjacent areas in Brit
iSh Columbia. According to in
formation collected from trap
pers outside the park boundar-
les a total of three of these in
teresting animals were caught
and one other observed during
the past two winters.
Ranger Joe Heimes reports
seeing a wolverine in the Cut
Bank district the past month.
In view of the fact that none
of these animals were report
ed in the park region from 1916
to 1885 their evident increase is
a matter of great interest. Ran
ger Keller suggests a closed
season until the animal is able
to establish itself firmly. Al
though given complete protec-
ton inside the park the VOL
VERNE WanderS so far and wide
that the $4,000 acres of park
lands is not considered as be-
ing a large enough preserve to
meet his needs.
All ranger districts west of
the continental divide report
that elk are spreading from al
ong the south boundary and
have now extended their winter
range along the North Fork of
the Flathead river into Can
ada. The rapid increase now
evident is expected to boil
over and provide good hunt
ing outside the park within a
very few years in the North
Fork area.
All observers who have visit
ed the Logging and Quartz
Creek concentration areas CT
the Thite-tailed deer have been
astonished at the great i'm
provement in the condition of
the herds since feeding was
stopped three years ago. The
deer no longer act like domes-
tic cattle and are much more
active, alert and have a better
appearance. Instead of causing
an increase in the death rate
he withdrawal of artificial feed
has actually brought a decrease.
This is attributed to breaking
up of the concentrations near
feed yards which facilitated the
spread of disease.
All reports indicate that the
mountain sheep. or big-horn,
the herd at Many Glacier,
which was deprived of their ra-
ton of hay this year for the
first time in two decades, have
survived in better health than
usual. Last year this particular
band was practically destroyed
by an epidemic of pneumonia.
Although no predatory ami
NAL control has been attempt
ed in the park for six years, the
loss of all game from this
source is estimated to be the
lowest in years. Here again the
cessation of feeding is thought
to be the principal factor as
the scattering of deer has rem
dered them less vulnerable to
attack by enemies.

FARMER TURNS
 CORN TO COLD

ENNIS, Texas, Feb. 15.-Sixteen dollars and fifteen cents for an ear of corn!
 That is the record made by S. Sibley, farmer, near here. The ear won S9 in premiums at various fairs and then was auctioned by grains and brought an additional $715.
 In one year Sibley and his family won more than $7O0 in fair pre- miums in Ennis, Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco.
 Sibley specializes in raising qual- ity farm products. In 1883 he raised 12 bales of cotton in 10 acres, whereas the average of the county is between a fourth and a third of a bale to the acre He ascribes his success to his seed, rotation of crops, good fertilizer, and early blowing.
 Had it not rained one day in the fall of 1924, Sibley perhaps would not have become interested in be- ing other than tenant farmer Having nothing to do when it rain ed, he took some chickens to the Ellis county fair and won s20 in premiums.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Partial abandonment of the Treasury's gold valuation program, officials said to- day, will in effect increase the total bank deposits and thus increase the amount of money the banks can lend businessmen and others.
 Whether this help however is for business depends on the question Of whether the money lent, which is private affair, is lendable in excess of the reserves.
 The Nations banks now have one billion four hundred million dollars compared to half a billion dollars which the Federal Reserve Board thought year ago was ample for business needs, also a new policy to check the growth of the Federal debt and reduce the Governments interests and costs.
