Grass Seeds

WYOMING FARMERS are urged
to plan on good deal' by har-
vesting some alfalfa, clovers and
grasses for seed this coming sum-
mer.
The price outlook for 1850 sup

points out that meadow and pasture
seed will be in demand again next
year.
Locally, the situation will be fav-
orable, too, he adds. Legume and

Farm Institute
Draws Crowd

MORE THAN 500 FARMERS and
ranchers and their wives turned out
to attend the first annual "Agri-
matics," farm institute at Billings,
Feb. 1917.
Two economists, Franklin L. Par
son of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Minneapolis and H r. STICKY, Mon
tana Extension service, Bozeman,
led off the institute program. Both
drew word pictures of the factors
which would influence farm income
during the remainder of 1850. Both
felt that income would remain good
during the first half of the year at
least, might taper off somewhat dur
ing the last half of the year.
Farm prices would drop. little,
they felt, but would not decline as
greatly as they did in 1949. Sticky
felt that part of the answer to the
problem of maintaining good farm
and ranch income in 1850 lay in
more grass and livestock, including
dairying, beef cattle, sheep and hogs.
Sees Good In Surplus
J. W.. Haw, agricultural develop
ment agent for the Northern Pacific
railway, drew raised eyebrows in
some parts of the audience with his
statement that surplus eggs, wheat,
| corn and cotton were an excellent
thing for the country. He supported
| his statement by showing the in
creased population, p opu1 o n
trends, figures showing acres OF
land going out of production each
ard of living. He stressed that &
| planned economy should store sur
plus in good years against bad years
which might come, or in case of war
The remainder of the program
was devoted to talks and panel dis.
cussions relative to present day
problems of the audience. For farm
wives there were sessions dealing
with fabrics" 1.-THE Kitchen Tha
Works for You," and demonstration
of the best methods of using farm
freezers.
The men heard a discussion O
fertilizers, both commercial an
barnyard,- the use of diverted acre:
livestock diseases and pests, way
and means of improving the dair
industry and other subjects.

sponsorship of the Billings Com
mercial club and the. Montana Ez

make available to the insecticide
dealers the latest information and
recommendations about the use of
agricultural chemicals in Montana.
Those insecticide dealers who are
taking a real interest in the prob
lens of their agricultural community
and the modern, revolutionary use
of agricultural chemicals are usual
1y source of good information and
sound advice.
Do the Job Right
When obtaining the insecticide,
read the label Be sure you have the
proper insecticide. Be certain you
are using the right mixture. Take
care to apply the correct rate per
acre and observe the precautions as
to toxicity to plants, livestock and
human beings.
If you do these things-find out
what the insect is, get all the in
formation on the insect and its con
troll and use the insecticide proper
ly-you can be reasonably assured
of good results and greater returns
for your investment.
