Your
Victory
Garden
Observation-Disclosures

Transplanting is a task which vic
( tory gardeners must perform through
out the garden year. So vigorous are
the young plants which we move, so
often do they survive carelessness, we
are apt to neglect even the simple
technique which viii greatly reduce the
proportion of failures.
But failures do occur and not all
result in dead plants which can be
removed and replaced. Often careless
transplanting viii result in an aiIing
plant or one which fails to produce
flowers or fruit Of good quality. The
following points, If carefully observed,
will insure that your young plants have
reasonable chance Of survival
Dig hole large enough to spread
out the roots without croWding. In the
case Of seedlings which have a long
tap root. it win help promote stocky
growth If this tap root is shortened.
Avoid permitting air pockets to be
formed among the roots. See that soil
is filled in properly to cover the roots,
and then firm the soil, so that contact
is close, since without this contact the |
roots cannot absorb water from the
soil. Seedlings should usually be set
little deeper than they stood In the /
flat. In the case Of overgrown plants, |
it may be wise to lay the stem hori-
zontally under the soil for several |
inches, rather than let IL project above
the surface; this is especially the case
with tomatoes.
Some Of the top OF each seeding
should be trimmed off TO balance the
loss Of roots which is inevitable when
plants are moved. About half the leaf
area may be removed. The soil should
be soaked after the transplanting OPP
Grafton Is finished. A little dry soil
Sprtnkled over the surface win check
Small seedlings may be planted in
holes made by dibber. This Is q
steel, wood or iron tool with a round
olunt point which is stabbed into the
ground and twisted, a much faster
operation than using a trowel
Observe distances carefully in trans
planting. The little plants may seem
onely when set two or three feet
lpart, but remember the size they will
Ittain at maturity and see that they
lave room enough to develop their
vest.
Vigorous growth In seedlings will be
ssured If plant food is applied while
hey are small. It will enable them to ;
evelop good root system, which win
eed them well. In transplanting vege-
ableS mix thoroughly one level table /
poonful Of complete plant food with
he soil in the bottom Of the hole be-
ore setting the plant Then apply
liant food over radius two feet from
he plant at the rate Of one rounded j
to each square foot of /,
round.
-Four to six weeks later another ap-
lication of plant food at the rate Of
NO pounds per 100 square feet may be
lade. This is equivalent to a rounded :
for two square feet. Apply
Venly over the soil surface except that
adjacent to the plant.

WHEAT STORAGE
PROBLEM ACUTE
SPACE NEEDED FOR 40 MILLION
BUSHELS THIS YEAR, SAYS
KRUSE

One of the most acute grain storage
problems in the history Of the state
will face Montana farmers If the ig42
crop materializes as indicated, Albert
Fl. Kruse, state commissioner Of aRri-
culture, said
Kruse conferred recently at Mime
apolis with representatives Of other
grain states on the problem Of trans-
porting and warehousing the 1870 crop
at meeting called by the department
Of agriculture
Available statistics on storage SPACE
and the present condition Of the 1912
crop indicate that space viii have TO
be made available in Montana for
100000 bushels this year, either BY
new construction or emptying Of pres
ent storage units before harvest.
LAS the possibility of moving much
Of the wheat now in storage Is not
bright and terminal elevators are al
most full, it would seem that the only
answer to the problem is new construc-
ton. This is especially true since Mon
tana elevators have very little empty
storage space available"
These suggestions for use and stor-
age Of the 1912 crop were listed by Mr..
Kruse:
/. Building more storage space on the
farms. Steel for nails has been made |
available for erection Of frame gran |
aries and lumber still Is obtainable.
2. Feeding more grain to livestock. |
Federal quotas Of meat and wool pro-
duction can be met more easily If |
grain Is converted to these vital war
materials Of which there now is
shortage.
8. Immediate planning by individual
farmers to meet their prospective
needs. Farmers should view the pres
mt situation seriously and plan now
Tor the storage Of the 1912 grain crop.

New knowledge of Lightning
Aids In Forest Fire Fighting

of us, storm warnings telling the area
and altitude where thunder storms are
about to strike have no practical value
but to forest owners they win helr
save millions Of dollars worth Of tim
Der that otherwise might be lost In
fires started by lightning.
Annually, there are as many as
100000 forest fires in the United
States, destroying up to $4,000, 600
worth of trees. Nationally less than
rs percent Of the fires are caused by
lightning, but in some sections Of the
Pacific northwest lightning starts rs
percent of the fires.
Topography Of the Pacific northwest
area is such that 1t Is difficult to
reach fires after they are reported.
Driving, dragging and pushing fire
fighting equipment through dense
woods, across streams and up steep
mountain slopes takes plenty of time
plenty of time for q fire to con-
sumo hundreds Of acres Of growing
timber and to become an inferno.
For years the weather bureau has
offered invaluable assistance to forest

operators in their uphill battle against
fire. Storm warnings, giving the alti-
tude, speed and general course of
thunder storms, gave the firefighters
q chance to station their men and
equipment throughout the danger zone.
BY taking these precautions they
were able to reach the fires fairly
quickly after they we're discovered, but
with the storms covering vast areas,
and much of the land mountainous,
the firefighters often were many miles
and hours away when lightning struck
and started fire.
A recent discovery Of the weather
bureau has changed the entire picture
After years Of study 1t was discovered
that lightning has an effective strik-
ing range Of only $500 feet. with this
knowledge, plus the information in
cluded in the weather bureau storm
warnings, firefighters are able to con-
centrate their forces in the relatively
small danger zones.
For example, a storm travelling at
an 8,0O0-foot level is no threat to
forests lying below the 5,5O0-foot level
because Of the 2,5O0-foot range Of
lightning. Firefighters can be stationed
In a few areas above this level while
the regular fire watchers in lookout
towers can cover the lower regions.
By reducing the number Of fires
caused by lightning we win be in a
position to produce all the wood need
ed in our war program, and stiIl leave
plenty Of forest resources for future
generations.
The trees saved from fires resulting
from lightning can be used to build
motor torpedo boats, mine layers, res
cue boats, troop housing, war produc-
ton buildings, and the thousands Of
other wood items used in war and
the drain on our forest from cutting,
fire, insects and disease still can be
kept less than the annual growth.

sight, Arnold's valuable plans woulc
have reached the British, and the
Revolution ended disastrously for the
patriots. They, and not Andre would
have been hanged.
These hunters, at the time they were
attacked, were not far from where
Bannack later stood, but 1t Is express
" stated they were on a plain, and
not In a canyon, which was the site
of our first capital.
During the time that Bonneville was
hunting "a favorable spot for his win
ter ercampment, q romantic affair
occurred elsewhere In what Is now
Montana, in which native Montanan
figured as the. heroine.
A eros ventre maid having been
captured by the Crows, eventually was
purchased by Mexican trapper,
named Loretto, and after that followed
her husband wherever he roamed. At
this time he was with Fitzpatrick and
Bridger, who we're engaged in leading
Vanderburgh into the Three Forks
region, where he was slain, as 1t was
evidently intended he should be, ac-
cording to all accounts Of the peculiar
tactics of the rival fur companies.
Familiar as these trappers were with
that country, Bridger and Fitzpatrick
found themselves in a similar predica-
ment to that planned for Wander
burgh's party. They we're surprised by
a band Of Indians, who were undoubt-
edly on their journey homeWard from
the recent engagement at Pierres
Hole. For some reason the Indians
were disposed to parley, and made
signs to that effect. From one side
chief advanced, as Bridger rode to
meet him. There was no unseemly
haste on the part of either. When they
met, the chief extended his hand in
token of friendship, and presumably
calculated a cultural Howl" when
Bridger distinguished, and came near
extinguishing himself, by cooking his
gun.
The chief at once recognizing the
caught the gun from Bridger
and pulled him from the saddle This
might have been the last of the ia
nous trailblazer, II his comrades had
not come to his rescue, as he had also
been shot in the back by an arrow,
or two OF them.
Discovered Brother
Before this happened, the Gros
Ventre wife of Loretto had discovered
her brother among the Indians. Has
tily thrusting her baby into her hus-
bands arms, she rushed to welcome
her brother. Then occurred the
Bridger incident, and there was no
longer hope Of peace between the two
factions.
The mother cried for her child, but
was not permitted to go to It, Then
The father showed his bravery, and
his love for wife and child. without
an instant's hesitation, he approached
he enemy and gave the baby to its
mother.
Impressed by his courage, and per-
laps by the affection, the chief said |
le might return to his party in safety. |
put he could not take with him his /
wife. She belonged to her own people, |

ike the unhappy ending. But it is
not the denouement. Irving, or Bonnie
