their fellow citizens to promote

as often as they might, if the

Extension Chief
Urges Importance
OF 1913 Hay Crop

BOZEMAN-Too much emphasis
cannot be placed on the Importance
this year of putting up every pos
sible bit of hay for winter livestock
feeding, says Ralph d. Mercer, ex-
tension agronomist at Montana
State college.
The livestock feed supply out
look, he warned, is not promising
and it is possible that there NAV
be a serious feed shortage. In short.
he said, it means getting up all the
hay possible this summer.
Crested wheatgrass is one of the
best sources of additional winter
feed and although it makes the best
quality hay when cut just prior to
the bloom stage, it may still be cut
for hay when it is in the early head
stage. With present good soil con-
ditions, crested wheat cut in the
early head stage and will still have a
chance of coming on and making
a second cutting of hay with the
possibility of a seed crop being
harvested.
Another source of winter rough
age that should not be overlooked.
he said, is wild hay. Conditions
generally over the state have been
favorable for putting up a good
tonnage of native hay.

Another section forbids anyone
riding on the outside of a car, that

reason for this is quite apparent.

Dim on Overtaking
Still another section provides that
cars overtaking another car at night
shall dim their lights when their
high beam strikes the car in front.
This for the reason that bright
lights from behind are confusing to
the driver of the car ahead and are
dangerous. especially on crooked Of
mountainous roads.
Another section forbids anyone
under the influence of intoxicating
from walking, riding a horse
or driving a team on the highway.
So far this year, we have had IL
pedestrians killed on the highways
and six of them were under the in
fluence of liquor. No one who has
been drinking should ever walk on

The last session of the Montana
legislature passed laws which con-
tanned several changes and additions
to our traffic laws. Most notable
among these were the requirements
that drivers slowing down, stopping
or changing direction in traffic, use
the arm signals that are prescribed
by the National Safety Council,
namely: for a right turn, left hand
and arm extended upward; for a
left turn, left hand and arm eX-
tended horizontally or straight out
from the shoulder; to stop or slow
down, left hand and arm extended
downward.
The law also requires that a driver
overtaking another car and intend
ing to pass said a shall sound his
horn as a signal of his wish and
intention to pass. If u people will
learn to observe this regulation it
will save many rear-end collisions,
s~ide-SwipeS and bent tenders, to say
nothing of the added protection to
life and limb that it will afford.
