POOR RANGE SOIL
GROWING FORAGE
EXPERIMENTS ON UNPLO WE'D
FOREST LAND ARE GIVING
GOOD RESULTS
Reseeding by Cheap Methods Reported
to Have Increased Grass Growth
During Second Year; whe@sgrass,
TAN 0atgrass, 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, tail 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 uro-
duction on poor soil the second season.
comparison of yield Of palatable
forage was SIS percent greater ON re-
seeded sample areas than on adjacent
areas which had not been reseeded
The report stated the seed was broad
cast on unplowed range supporting a
thin stand Of native forage and lightly
disked as the only soil preparation,
anu OA4Ao A4C6l}EAAcARC VACIQ-
ing a good return on the time and
expense involved.
Joy said two or three serious gllllies
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 a 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
cheap and disable on pri-
vate lands with similar results"

STATE VOCATIONAL
BUREAU PRAISED
WESTERN REGIONAL AGENT OF
FEDERAL OFFICE OF EDUCA-
TION CHECKS ON WORK
COnfers at Helena With Left Fredericlrs
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 J. 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
F'redericks 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
SO percent, placed consistent with
training, and other services; the salts
factory average weekly wage, and the
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.
1T is recognized that any social or
der is successful to the degree that its
l1QlVlQual 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
viii be able TO endure to the degree
that its individual members are able
to finance themselves and their de-
pendents"
He said 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
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 Chief
Justice Howard A. johnson of the
Montana supreme court, who, when

FARM PRODUCTS
PRICES ADVANCE
IS COMMODITIES QUOTED HIGH
Err IN FEBRUARY THAN IN
JANUARY, SAYS DIAMOND
Corn, Wheat and Barley Are Among
Those to Register Gains, According
to Federal and state Agricultural
Statistician at Helena.

Eighteen commodities in Mon
tana showed price advances Feb.
IS over those of Jan. IS, according
to Jay G. Diamond, agricultural
statistician. Nine commodities
showed no change and nine de-
clined, but all variations were
small and partly seasonal, he said.
Grains and meat animals contrib
uted largely to the rise in levels.
Corn, wheat and barley prices were
slightly higher than on Jan. is,
but oats declined. Wheat was AZ
cents, or cents more than the sea-
sons low of 43 cents in October and
November. Flaxseed sold for six cents
less than terminal market prices. Po-
tato prices were unchanged, but bean
prices declined five cents hundred
pounds and apple prices were off 10
cents a bushel.
Local market values Of beef cattle
and veal calves were higher than a year
ago, and all meat animal prices ap-
preciated since Jan. Is. Per head prices
of mich cows, horses and mules adj
vanced during the month, and all but
mule prices were higher than year
ago.
Egg prices declined sharply during
the month, while chicken and turkey
prices remained firm. Butter and
butterfat prices were off two to three
cents during the month and dropped
8 to 10 cents since February, 1888. Wool
prices were unchanged.
Cold weather In February caused In
creased feed requirements and higher
hay prices. Large feed and hay sup
plies, however, have kept the price low
compared with a year ago.
The national exchange value Of farm
products declined further during the
month to ~ percent of pre-war value,
the same as In February 1888. Prices
paid by farmers remained unchanged
at 40 percent of pre-war value.
