able supplement forage on many
ranges rather than an unmitigated
nuisance"
HURT warned, however. that man
agement to encourage cheat grass is
not advocated" because culture of the
more palatable and nutritious range
grasses is far more desirable.
The examiner also denied that cheat
grass is so aggressive as to crowd out
more dependable native range grass.
He said blowing, overgrazing or ether
serious disturbance of natural cover
appear to be essential to severe cheat
grass infestation.
He said owners of pastures contain
ing cheat grass should be guarded
against overgrazing. as the grazing ami
mails eat the more palatable forage
first. thus giving the cheat grass a
better chance to spread.
In a two-year experiment conducted
by the forest service on a pasture north
of MiSSoula containing SO percent cheat
grass, three idle saddle horses main
tanned fairly constant weight on the
grass. The horses showed slight gains
at times when rains caused fresh, green
growth of the cheat grass.
The animals lost weight appreciably
only in the fall and late summer when
the grass cured. None of the horses
developed sore mouth from grazing
the mature grass. At the end Of 1898,
HURT reported. perennial grasses and
weeds were increasing at the expense
of the cheat grass
HURT advocated control of the grass
rather than attempted eradication He
suggested planting crested wheat or
other more dependable" species to
supplant it.
Cheat grass Is common in most Mon
pf
the divide and probably came to the
United States about 60 years ago. It
was introduced into western Montana
about 1900, when abandonment of dry
farmed lands provided an excellent op-
portunity for its spread over the state.

POOR RANGE SOIL
GROWING FORAGE
EXPERIMENTS ON UNPLO w E d
FOREST LAND ARE GIVING
GOOD RESULTS ,
Reseeding by Cheap Methods Reported
to Have Increased Grass Growth
During Second Year; Wheatgrass,
Tall Oatgrass, Bromegrass Used.

Unplowed range soil of poor
quality has been successfully re-
seeded with cheap methods by the
U. S. forest service at the Vigil
ante experimental station in the
Beaverhead national forest, where
crested wheatgrass, tall oatgrass,
bromegrass and other species have
increased Substantially" forage
production, according to a report
received by Charles A. Joy, super
visor of the Deer Lodge national
forest. Mr.. Joy explained that at
the Vigilante experimental station, on
the Ruby river in the Beaverhead for
est, the species of grass named above
were seeded In 81. Experiments showed
that the species increased forage pro
duction on poor soil the second season
A comparison of yield of palatable
forage was IS percent greater on re-
seeded sample areas than on adjacent
areas which had not been reseeded
Inc report stated the seed was broad
cast on unplowed range supporting a
thin stand Of native forage and lightly
dlsked as the only soil preparation
and this inexpensive method Is Weld
ing good return on the time and
expense involved.
Joy said two or three serious gullies
on this same area were treated by
dragging in brush and small trees to
check the rate of runoff Yellow sweet
clover and several species of grass were
seeded in small handmade burrows
along the steep banks of these gullies
two seasons ago and a satisfactory
stand resulted, even on the steep slopes,
and these gullies appear to be healing
with their new cover of protective for
age and root growth.
In report to Joy, supervisors of
the experiment station stated that I'VE
are well pleased with the results of
reseeding to several species on very
poor soil on this Lewis creek area, and
by preliminary evidence that gully
erosion may be corrected and forage
production greatly increased. We are
working to develop methods that are
relatively cheap and disable on pri-
vate lands with similar results"

JOHN SALISBURY
DIES AT BILLINGS
YELLOWSTONE VALLEY
SINCE 1879

John Alexander Salisbury, a.,
Montana pioneer who had resided
in the Yellowstone valley since
three years before Billings was
founded, died recently at a Billings
hospital. He suffered a stroke at
the hospital, where he had resided
for the last year. One of four
brothers who were among the
early day Yellowstone valley farm
ers and ranchers, Salisbury was
born July 10, 1854, in Jefferson
county, Ohio. In 1877 he and his
three brothers left Ohio, travelling
westward to Fort Collins. Colo Two
years later they came to Montana,
following the old line of forts from
Fort Collins to the present site of Bill
lings. The 60O-mile journey was made
with OK teams and wagons and involved
many hardships
The quartet passed numerous scenes
OF recent losing fights made by their
predecessors against Indians, and were
snowbound for 10 days on the banks
of the Tongue river. They camped one
night opposite the site of the battle
of the Little Big Hole, which occurred
three years before their arrival, but
were unaware of this fact until they
reached the little town of Coulson,
located just east of the present site of
Billings

States General Fund
Is Nearly in Balance

Montanas general fund budget for
the next biennium was brought closely
within balance by the Goth legislative
assembly, 1t was shown in figures pre-
pared by Chairman James N. Dough-
erty Of the house appropriations COM
mittee.
With the income for the general
fund for the next biennium estimated
at S.. PA ,160, a tabulation of the ap-
preparation bills as they finally were
approved by conference committees
shows a total Of 9.352, 900 appropriated
from the general fund, in addition to
other amounts appropriated from other
funds which are self-sustaining.
The anticipated overdraft, Chairman
Dougherty said, was small and II busi-
ness conditions improve there will be
increase in revenue from many Of the
license taxes, and the general fund may
be balanced.

STATE VOCATIONAL
BUREAU PRAISED
WESTERN REGIONAL AGENT OF
FEDERAL OFFICE OF EDUCA-
TON CHECKS ON WORK
Confers at Helena With Left Fredericks
Regarding Possible Expansion Of
Montana Program and Inspects
Work of Department in General.

The services rendered by the
Montana state bureau of vocation
al rehabilitation are "highly salts
factory" Frank ]. Clayton, western
regional agent for the federal Of
flee of education, said before leav-
ing Helena after a two-day inspec-
ton of the state department, which
is headed by Left Fredericks. Clay
ton said his principal task in visiting
the Helena office was to confer with
Fredericks regarding possible expan-
sion of the Montana program and is
going over the program in this state
in general
THE services rendered clients in
Montana are very satisfactory" he
said. THE high percentage of cases,
SO percent, placed consistent with
training, and other services; the salts
widespread of training detectives, and
the rehabilitation jobs together with
the moderate cost of service all indi-
cate an excellent rehabilitation pro-
gram in Montana.
ut is recognized that any social or
der is successful to the degree that its
individual members are happy, con-
| tented and able to participate in the
social and economic life of the COM
munity. 1t also is a fact that society
will be able to endure to the degree
| that its individual members are able
to finance themselves and their de-
pendents."
He said a survey he had made OF the
working Of the Montana department
indicated that, relatively speaking, "the
legislature Of Montana has provided
consistently. liberal support for the
rehabilitation program"
Furthermore. cooperation by other
agencies is good and the availability of
other social services related to reha-
bilitation has enabled Supervisor Fred
ericks to carry on an effective program.
Labor union officials especially have
endorsed the rehabilitation program in
their state federation and local union
meetings and have urged the legisla-
ture to provide adequate funds for
carrying on the work. The unions have
reported many cases to the department
and have in several instances assisted
the department in making plans"
The federal office is satisfied with
the operation of the Montana voca
tional rehabilitation program, the Of.
fetal added.
Clayton also conferred with Chic
Justice Howard A. Johnson of tn,
Montana supreme court, who, wher
he was member of the house Of rep
resentatives, introduced the bill Great
ing the Montana rehabilitation bureau
The bill was HB 70 Of the 1921 as.

Interstate Milk
Traffic Regulation

In view Of United States supreme
court decision of Feb. 81, holding that
state milk control agencies have alb
solute jurisdiction to regulate operators
engaged in interstate milk shipments,
the Montana milk control board will
cooperate in the establishment of a
fair trades area in western Montana
to regulate the price of milk shipped
from Washington into CCC camps in
this state, G. A. Norris, secretary of
the board announced.
In some instances in western Mon
tana, he said, Washington milk pro-
ducers are selling their product at a
price which producers of this state can
not meet. The same thing was true
at Fort Peck, he said. when Williston,
N. D. producers brought in milk at a
lower price.
The supreme court ruling, handed
down as the result of a case brought
by the Pennsylvania milk control COM
mission, held that the state board had
the right to regulate even in the matter
of price fixing in the absence of con-
flicting regulations.
