Christmas Time Is Sea! Time

During the month of December it has
become customary for us to double seal our
letters and all our mailing parcels And now,
1t is important that we continue the custom,
II not increase our effort to-get more seals.
When we place seal on the outside of
letter or parcel we are not merely decorat-
ing parcels with Christmas decorations, but
we are aiding in a cause to stamp out a
disease that has snuffed out more lives of
individuals than the automobiles have done
on our national highways.

We are aiding the country to rid itself
Of TB. TB has not only taken great toll of
lives, but it has caused endurabe suffering.
However the death toll has been lessened
some over former years, and il was due most

If we will increase our purchase from time to
time II viii 60 long ways in Kidding the

So it is imperative that we be more IL

than at any other time.

Intermediate Wheatgrdss
Shoaos Promise for Summer Pasture, Hay

is comparatively new in Montana.
This obtained through the Cascade

wheatgrass seed.
I planted this grass seed on sum-
merfallowed land, using a semi
furrow grain drill with 9-inch spac-
ing and plugging the openings SO
that the grass seed was sown in rows
80 inches apart.
Ample rain that spring produced
an almost perfect stand With so
much moisture the cheat grass and
weeds grew so abundantly that 1

the fall it started to grow and made
very good pasture.
The following spring of 1949 the

The yield on this 4-acre plot was
200 pounds of cleaned seed to the
acre. Considering the low amount of
rainfall during the past summer, I
think this very good yield.
I believe it out-yields Crested
wheatgrass for hay as the Inter-
mediate grows taller and has more
foliage. 1t will choke out any an
nual weed, stools rapidly and makes
good grazing for cattle. A successful
stand can be obtained the first sea-
son planted. This is very important
factor, as with some of our dryland
grasses it takes sometimes two or
three years to get a good stand.
The seed is large and has a good
sized kernel, which gives the sprout
plenty of strength to shove up
through the soil. To prove this, I
