Today your electric bill is just about

Mitchell, an early day Montana
newspaper man, had circulated a
letter refuting charges made by
McKenna against the liquor
board weeks in advance of the
committees official report.
Brought before the house, Nit
chell agreed to appear as a wit
S and did so. The next morn
ing he was freed of the contempt
charge by the house.
Asked regarding his question
ing before the committee, Nit
chell said all they asked him
was: what else do you know
about the liquor board business? ?"
He said he was asked no specific
question nor was any part of
his reply to McKenna disputed
by McKenna or any member of
the committee.
Many members of the house

the committee insisted on Nit
appearance for question
ing if it had nothing specific
to inquire about.

In the past four years the
liquor board has done a $780,

sales, license department and
beer department have turned in
a net profit to the state of $14,-
616,322.71 which added to the
eight per cent excise tax col
lected has meant a net to the
state of more than $4,000, 900.
Since 1888 when the liquor

HOWDY FOLKS:

49,
Well, we finally done it,-misset
the last issue. Been trying al
week to figure out where to put
the blame, but somehow it seems
to fall right back in our own lap
Perhaps worrying about the
weather on top of trying to
make sense about what goes
on in IL legislative centers
could be blamed.
Anyhow, the weather looks bet
ter this week and they are killing
bills by the dozens in Helena SO
things r looking up.
Found there are two million
laws in force in the United
States and if a man could
familiarize himself with them
at the rate of ten each day,
he could qualify to act as a
law-abiding citizen in the
short space of six thousand
years.
There's one law that every one
observes, by the way, and that's
the law of gravitation.
We heard someone say that
in this country, the majesty
of the law is going the same
way as all ~majesties.
We also know a gal Sc dumb
she thinks a lawsuit is a police
mans uniform.
Also have a late bulletin
from down south, they are
improving some of their pure
fued laws.
We too are doing a little i'm
proving here in the plant, hav-
ing recently lifted face somewhat

Train Cucumbers

Cucumber vines usually spread
over q wide area, although they
may be trained on the fence to
conserve space. But, they are
a well-liked crop and most
gardeners squeeze in q hill or
two. Unfortunately they are sub
ject to wilt which is spread
by insects and is hard to control.
There are few wilt-resistant
varieties but only the Burpee
Hybrid is easily obtained.
Plant cucumber seed In well
enriched hills spaced about 6 feet
apart. Place 5 to 10 seeds In Q
hill and thin to 2 or 3 Of the
strongest plants. Some plants are
usually lost to the Tea beetle
although that pest may be con-
trolled either by keeping the plants
under q screen until well started
or by busting with copper lime
dust, rotenone, hydrated lime or
q bordeaux spray mixture.
The hybrid mentioned above
requires about so days to reach
maturity, other varieties such as
Early Fortune, A g. c. National
Picking, ETC.. mature 2 or 3 days
earlier.

Farm Cost Rates
5 Per Cent Lower

Farm cost rates for the country
as q whole will be about 8 per cent
lower this year than last, accord
ing TO the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics.
Livestock feeders In general will
have lower costs because Of the
lower feed cost rates, while opera
tors of other types of farms prob
ably will be faced with higher
costs.
The bureau noted that farm
costs lag behind farm prices and
incomes when prices rise and also
remain relatively higher than
farm prices when prices decline.
Despite the current prospects
for continued high cost rates and
lower farm prices. the bureau said.
net farm incomes will be suffi-
GENTLY high this year to allow
many farmers to improve their
financial positions.

Can Be Divided.
The Penstemons may be grown
from seed, cuttings or divisions.
Seed may be sown out-of- doors In
early March in a fiat or bed. Mid
summer seedlings are likely to be
a bit small by transplanting time
In September. The seed should
be sown in a sandy soil mixture
with good drainage or In vermt-
cutie (plant add. Some gar
deners have had very good sue
cess by sowing the seed In q cold
frame and allowing the young
plants to remain until the follow
ing spring.
In transplanting the seedlings
to the perennial border 1t Is
desirable to give them adequate
spacing 50 as to permit the
plants to branch freely. II given
room the plants will be clothed
with well-developed foliage which
Is one Of their good features. The
taller growing species and varie-
ties will need Is to 10 inches.
Other than crown rot. the Pen
stemons are relatively free from
insects and diseases. The crown
rot Is best prevented by planting
In a well-drained soil. Should 1t
appear in q Penstemon planting
1t is well to lift and divide the
plants. treating those infected
portions with sulphur dust or q
bichloride of mercury solution.
Drenching the soil with this solu-
ton Il tablet to a pint Of water)
will usually sdisinfect the soil. Cul-
tivating In napthalene flakes
g ounces per square yar6 is also
relatively effective but may have
to be repeated for a complete
cleanup. The best approach Is
the addition Of sand and gravel
where necessary to insure adquate
drainage.

'Renovats instead Of sxcavate'
In q slogan receiving wide &c
ceptance by pasture management
experts at Beltsyille.
Actually what this slogan means
In that old permanent pastures
may be renovated by using disc.
thus leaving o nucleus Of estab-
lished grasses. to better advantage
than II they were plowed and
|reseeded.
Several ysars ago two pasture
plots were renovated. One plot
contained Q stand Of bluegrass
and the other was In orchard
grass. The results Of the reno
walton were quite remarkable.
For example. J. B. Shepherd Of
the nutrition and physiology divi-
sion Of the Bureau Of Dairy In
dustry found that . renovated
pasture Of legumes and good
grasses fertilized and grazed In
rotation yielded the equal Of the
same acreage planted to corn.
Mr.. Shepherd said that In re-
ducing both corn and pasture
yields to hay equivalents" 1t was
found that the pasture yielded
about 5000 pounds per acre. This
is just about what the average
corn land will yield. he said.
Old permanent pastures OF
bluegrass or orchard grass and
white clover are usually unpro-
ductive, especially In late summer.
Mr.. Shepherd said. But when
these pastures are cut UP with o
disc and seeded to good legumes.
such as Ladino clover. their pro-
duction may be increased IS much
as % per cent.
Mr.. Shepherd said pastures
renovated ct Beltsville were first
heavily manured In the fall and
then were torn with q weighted
disc.
The cut sod was left on the sur
face to prevent erosion. and early
the following spring 500 pounds
of Olaf fertilizer was broadcast.
The pasture was narrowed again
and then seeded to q mixture con-
tanning bronze grass, alfalfa. red
clover and Ladino clover. The
bronze grass didn't amount to
much,
Mr.. Shepherd said the first
