ceived a conservation plan from
the District this week. He is
starting his pasture program this
fall by seeding four acres of per-
manent pasture. Nose pasture
is to be seeded each year to
provide for the dairy herd he
intends to develop. Next spring
he will seek lespedeza to pro-
vide protected outlets for ter :
races. 1t will also be a source
of good quality hay.
j. Grady Briigers of Jackson
received conservation plans for
his farms this week. He plans
to use sericea lespedeza for per-
manent hay and water disposal
areas. He will build terraces on
much of his cultivatd land. He
also plans to have his soils
analysed to find out his needs
for lime and fertilizer. Mr.. Brid-
gers is a member OF the North
ampton County Soil Conservation
Committee.
W. o. Rook, of Garysburg, re
ceivd a conservation plan fol-
his farm this week. Mr.. Rook
says he has found vetch to be
the best winter cover crop he has
used. He is improving his pas.
ture by the addition of Kntucky
81 fescue and ladino clover.
Shirt manufacturers and laun-
dries have found a new use for

Among new lighting novelties
are electric lamps that stimulate

Almost any kind of roughage can
be fed feeder cattle as long as they
will eat it and provided it is properly
supplemented. However, the better
the quality the easier it is to do a
good job of feeding and the less need
for expensive supplements.

sects, including mites, are present
per 1000 gram sample.
Grain mites can and do build up
readily in grain of over Is percent
moisture content. Once they get
started in a small pocket, they may
increase the moisture content of the
surrounding grain through their
feeding activities and in so doing,
enable themselves to spread gradual
ly throughout the bin. The foreign
grain beetle is thought to feed largely
on mold and fungus present in out
of-condition grain.
The other three bran bugs are
thought to feed largely on cracked,
or otherwise broken down grain
although clean grain of high mois-
ture content can support them.
Granary weevils quite rare in Mon
tana) are associated with grain of Is
percent moisture content or over.
Their presence is readily detected,
as the grub hollows out the inside
of the kernel leaving only the hollow
shell pierced by a small round hole.
Moving, cleaning and drying the
grain is the best control procedure.
Moving during sub-zero tempera-
lures is especially effective. Clean,
dry grain is seldom infested. Remove
wet soggy pockets, using care to re-
move enough to get all of it. This
procedure is imperative even
though fumigation is planned.
When TO Fumigate
Just when to recommend fumiga-
ton is rather difficult, In all prob
ability, however, if after the above
treatment the grain continues to
show signs of going out of condition,
fumigation should be attempted.
The only source of fumigating ma
terials for the average farmer are
commercial preparations, many of
which are quite good, on sale in all
communities.
A mixture containing a 3-to-1
combination of ethylene dichloride
and carbon tetrachloride used at the
rate of 6 gallons for 1000 bushels
and 4 gallons for 500 bushels where
smaller quantities are to be treated
is n of the most effective, safes
and least Objectionable to the oper
ator. 1t is non-inflammable and no
highly toxic to man, although it i
irritating where prolonged expo
sures are necessary.
The bin should be tightly sealed
the grain 1eveled at the surface, an,
at least a 6 to 8-inch ''head-space
allowed above the surface of tn
grain between the grain surface an
the roof or top of the bin. The fun.
CANT may be sprayed or poured O
the surface of the grain and the be,
results are obtained at temperature
of Approximately so degrees F.
Where fumigants other than IL
above are used, it can only be recon
mended that the instructions of Il
manufacturer be followed in all d
tails.

Winter warning: Outside steps,
even when cleared of ice and snow,
and inside steps, too, may become
slippery because of the traffic of
shoes carrying slush and mud. Clean
off your shoes as well as possible.

SfoUffer 2x4-D Ester al
cuts dos kuge as mUeh as 75%

Weeds, eating into your crop, competing with your
grain for the food and water in the soil, can cost
you as much as IS bushels per acre-if you let them
grow. You needn't. Stauffer 2,4-D Ester a. does an
effective job, cutting down weed dockage as much as
1870 in some areas (shown by actual records at Mon
tana Elevator stations). In the 1913 crop, Stauffer
Ester a. applied while weeds were growing fast,
showed good control within a week on annual weeds.
Ester "A is ttselective'' SO it may be used to kill weeds
out of grain crops without hurting the crop.

the first settlers of the Big
Horn valley.
Mrs. Anne Ward and Mrs.
Cooper were the first white
women to settle in the Big Horn
valley, demonstrating the place
known as Ranch 81, now famed
by William Lind. The Wards
brought with them a carload of
groceries and a carload of lum-
Der, with which to build their

In a night game at Roundup

Farming, Ranching
Operations Are
Drawing TO Close

Farm and ranch activities in
Montana proceeded without in
teruptiOn during the past week,
according to the weekly release
| of the u. S. Department of Ag-
Ticulture in cooperation with the
agricultural extension service at
Montana State College.
Crop harvest and fall plant
ingS are now well advanced and
many farmers have completed
their main operations for the
season. More soil moisture is
needed over much of the state
for fall seedlings. A good supply
of range feed will be carried
over and livestock are going to
market in very good condition.
Virtually all small grains
grown on dry land are now
harvested and only a small
acreage of irrigated grains in
central and western portions re-
mains to be threShed, Approx
mately so percent of the corn is
harvested and around 10 per-
cent of the sugar beets have
been removed from fields. Po-
tato digging is about 80 percent
finished in the eastern half Of
the state and about 40 percent
is finished in central and west
ern portions. Many dry land
potato fields are yielding well
above average this year. Flax
seed harvest is being cleaned up
and alfalfa seed harvest is well
underway. Threshing of dry
beans in south central counties
is nearing completion.
Sugar beet harvest started in
most districts last week with the
wide spread use of mechanical
h~arvesterS. In some localities
three-fourths or more of the
sugar beets are expected to be
harvested mechanically, depend
ing on weather conditions. The
supply of labor for harvesting
sugar beetS and potatoes is ade-
quate throughout most of the
state. However, additional hands
are needed in Blaine, Richland,
Yellowstone. Custer and Broad
water Counties.
Winter wheat seedlings are
now approximately 80 to IS per-
cent completed. Many of the
early seeded fields have GERM
mated with favorable stands
and the supply of soil moisture,
in several central counties, is
sufficient to terminate later
seedlings. l. :
