FARMERS INDICATE
THEIR INTENTIONS
FOR CROP PLANTING
Larger Averages Of Barley,
Flax, Sugar Beets, POta-
toes Are In Prospect

,Montana's total paintings of prin-
cipal crops in 1915 are likely to be
slightly smaller than a year ago,
according to the annual March 1 in
tentions survey of the Bureau of
Agricultural Economies. If farm
ers carry out their 1915 March
plans, as they usually do, they will
plant larger, acreages of barley,
flax, sugar beets and potatoes, with
these increases for the most part
being made to meet wartime needs.
On the other hand, corn, oats,
spring wheat, beans and pea acre
ages will likely be reduced enough
to offset the increases. As was the
case last year, farmers are facing
farm labor and machinery obstacles
which call for a rather full utiliza-
ton of the people living on farms
if the 6,710,000 acres of principal
crops are to be properly planted,
tended and harvested.
Grain Crops-In this group larger
winter wheat and barley paintings
in 1915 contrast with decreases in
corn, oats and spring wheat acre
ages. Last fall 1,521,000 acres of
winter wheat were planted which
was 5 per cent larger than the
paintings of a year earlier. The pres
ent survey discloses that the spring
wheat paintings will likely be I'D
to 2,57S,000 acres or 10 per cent
under that of 1914. There is also
likely to be a 5 per cent cut in corn
acreage to 100000 acres and a 10
per cent cut in oats acreage to
423, 900. On the other hand, there
will be a marked increase in flax
paintings with $4,000 acres indi-
Gated or so per cent more than
were planted in 1914. Even this
large figure, however, is smaller
than the acreage asked for from
Montana by the War Food Admin
istration. Barley acreage is ex-
to be sos, 900 acres or 5 per
cent above the 1914 record plant
ings.
Other Planted Crops-In this
group sugar beets and potatoes are
the only crops farmers intend to
in 1915, when it is likely
that they will plant IS per cent
sugar beets and 5 per cent
potatoes. This would place
1945 sugar beet acreage at 49,
300; the potato acreage at $4,000
acres. The March intentions survey
Indicated a reduction of 20 per cent
n dry bean acreage to $4,000 acres
md a reduction of 80 per cent in
Try pea acreage to $4,000 acres and
| reduction of 80 per cent in dry
'ea acreage to $4,000 acres planted
or 1915.
Pre-planting soil moisture condi-
ions generally are somewhat more
favorable than those a year earlier,
nut the fall and winter precipita-
ion up to March l was less than

TELLS ABOUT HISTORIC
L0CAL,INAT|0NALT TREES

At a recent meeting of the Laurel
Garden club, a paper of exceptional
interest was read by Mrs. o. G.
Cooper the title of which was ellis
torical Trees"
Quoting from the poem by Joyce
Kilmer, Mrs. Cooper said that as
"Only God Can Make a Tree" they
have been used all down the ages
to commemorate great deeds and to
mark the progress of nations.
Under the head of biblical trees she
described a number which were
given prominent mention in the
Bible. Coming down through his
tory to America she named several
which have become famous land
marks, and occupy a place in ma
tional record.
Of local interest was the fact that
several of the first trees planted in
Laurel are still standing. They are
on the grounds of the former
George S%ettergren home on Fourth
avenue and are of the poplar var
iety. Another tree of local signi-
ficance is the large spruce on the
lawn of the Masonic temple which
bears a PLAGUE with data supplied
by dad" Fenton.
In her talk Mrs. Cooper men,
toned a number of other trees in
the vicinity of Laurel which have
a historical background and serve
as landmarks.

pretended aunt, Lord Fancourt Bah

ly in London for four years, and
then vas given a warm reception
in this country" said Miss Helen
Mcdonald, directress of the senior
production. "The students have
themselves to the char
acters with fine accuracy and taste"
Mrs. Arthur Soulsby, sponsor of
,he senior class, states that she be-
ieves the people of Laurel, as we'll
as the students, will find this light
especially appealing. every
line provides a laugh" said
Mrs. Soulsby, "and suspense and
lramatic acting are not lacking"
The play is staged during the per-
cd when bustles were fashionable.

which have no eyes. Nok, he has
completed experiments which prove
that n of the factors involved
comes from the eye itself.
Testing both normal and blind
rats with the eyeballs removed, DR..
Browman found that rodents with
eyes were heavier in body, liver thy

difference was not known until re-
Gently, when DR.. Browman complet-
ed experiments which received ma
tional attention in a scientific jour-
nal.
Down to the Missoula stockyards
went the eXperimenter, where he OBJ
tanned retinas from the eyes of
freshly butchered cattle. From
these many preparations and frac-
lions were tried, one of which was
a crude saline extract, which he in
jected into the blinded rats.
Like a magic potion, the extract
brought the ailing rats back to nor

weight in just 10 weeks time.
Thus DR.. Browman has shown
that some principle" is elaborated

which is necessary for normal
growth and maturity. One alleviat-
ing factor for the deficiency is the
retinal extract of bovine eyes.
In conducting the experiments,
DR.. Browman is credited with an

in the annals of science he success

To scientists, the research has
been heralded as a noteworthy ac-
,omplishment. A detailed report of

Experimental Biology Medicine,
which lists scientific research dis

Like most scientists, DR.. Brow
