bulletins. It's not effective. In tests
with 2,4-D more of the plants died that

Sodium chlorate)? Possibly. But if the
cattle break into the area, that's the
first thing they'll eat. They like plants
sprayed with salt solution.
Grub it out? If you care to. worked
a patch (an acre. with bull dozer. The
dozer cut the ground down foot and
laid the ground over an adjoining strip.
1t was effective, but expensive.
Ask your neighbor how he deals with
it? You'll get different answer from
every one you ask. Some of the ideas
may have value. One fellow places his
salt right in the worst patch. Another
fellow doesn't have a bit of trouble,
and his range is literally covered with
larkspur. He runs sheep.
Use PIOw
Well, you may be interested in how
1 get around it. 1 use the pillow. It's cost
ly, l know, to drag the pillow over so
much of the range ground, but l like
the grass that grows in place of the
larkspur, brush and native plants. 1t
may not be your solution.
I've been lucky, not having lost any
cattle the past years, but am glad
I turned the pillow into some areas in
stead of the cattle for the larkspur has
increased tremendously, and my cattle
haven't built up any immunity.

grow; we've come around to ter
racing, to cover crops and chisel-
ling; and we've decided it is wise to
grow more grass and fertilize. Those
things, l think, are all quite fine, but
where the experts really shine is in
their call on us to dig some pasture
ponds both small and big to store
up all the water we might need for
thirsty stock, by gee.
I'm mighty happy I've been taught
to furnish water like l ought to keep
my stock from going dry when
creeks stop running in July. But 1
am tickled even more as think
back to days of yore when soon as
days got dry and hot we'd find our
favorite swimming spot was gone
because the stream had quit just
when we really needed it, and soon
as we had time to spare there were
no fish left anywhere. Today, by
golly, we can fish or swim all sum-
mer if we wish; and so for all those
pasture tanks, the experts get my
heartfelt thanks.

Association Aids Marketing
For Farm Flock Owners
By ROBERT M. MUSGROVE, Blaine County

them know that pool shipment was
coming their way, and then again with
the help of De Vries we made up a
letter giving the names of each shipper,
the number of sheep they shipped and
their mark. Now all there was left to
do was wait and see what happens.
We shipped on Saturday and the
returns were back the coming Thurs
day. Each man received his separate
check from the firm and the returns
were very good.
The lambs were graded and sold
according to the grade at the yards and
each shipper was paid according to
what class his lambs were in.
Gratifying Results
must say the results were crafty
ing and Immediately the other growers
wanted to ship their lambs.
l shipped four more car loads that
fall ranging from old ewes to prime
lambs. All with good results.
In FEBRUARY 1858 we held another
meeting in Chinook. 1t was school
pertaining to sheep production. Mr.. N.
A. Jacobsen and Ralph STICKY from
Montana State College and Everett
Shuey from the Montana Wool Grow
erS Assn. attended.
We went over the results of the ship
ments the year before and decided to
organize and incorporate a shipping
association. In May we had a meeting
at the Zurich recreation hall and again
MIR. Jacobsen and Mr. Shuey attended.
Mr.. Shuey helped us with our consti-
tuition and shipping agreement which
were adopted and it was there the Milk
River Sheep Assn. was born.
Last fall we shipped around 100
head of lambs and ewes through the
association.
Shipments are handled by any di-
rector of the association. The directors
and officers are: president, Robert M.
MuSgrove, Chinook; vice president,
Harry Ramberg, Chinook; secretary
and treasurer, John B. Arnold, Harlem;
directors, Harvey Naslund, Chinook,
and Adolph Green, Harlem.

IN THE LATE summer of 1852 a
group of farm flock owners met in
Chinook to discuss the problezo of
marketing our lambs. The sale of lambs
was very slow and the small growers
seemed to be left out entirely.
About all that was accomplished at
that meeting was a discussion and five
people were appointed to committee
to try to solve the problem. OF that
committee l was appointed chairman
and tried to get all the ideas I could
from the producers and buyers, but
didn't seem to get much response as
to what 1 should do.
AS fall approached it became nee
eSsary to sell the lambs, as many were
fat and some growers were getting
short of feed.
Another meeting was called at which
there was good attendance. After
lengthy discussion it was decided to
order cars and ship the lambs to
market.
Shipping Day Selected
A shipping day was selected and the
cars were ordered. In the meantime
Herb De Vries, the Blaine County Ex-
tension agent, and l decided to con-
tact buyer from packing company.
We persuaded him to come down to
the Chinook Stockyards on our shipping
day and see if he could handle the
lambs at satisfactory price.
The bid day arrived and when 1 got
down to the stockyards I found around
22O lambs, or about carload. There
was every kind, size and description of
lambs you could think of.
The buyer was not interested in any,
thing except fat lambs, but if we cut
out everything but the fat lambs there
would not be enough left of a car.
The sale of the lambs had been left
up to me so 1 shipped them all.
We loaded them on the cars and
then wondered 'where were they 60
ing?" Several of us had shipped cattle
to South st. Paul, so that is where l
sent them with myself as the shipper.
Nothing to Do But Wait

Larksbur
The Killer
By ARTHUR D. MILES, Park County

HALF WAY UP the mountain, around
5000 feet in our area, turks the silent
killer-larkSpur-growing quietly among
the brush.
Picture the anguish of the poisoned
COW heading for water, falling, beller-
ing, paving the ground. Inspecting the
cattle, you see COW, bloated, feet up
in the air. You look again There is an
other. You ride into the area. You
find several more. feet up in the air,
bloated
You think of the notes at the bank,
the mortgage. You wonder where the
calves are that were nursing these dead
cows. You're afraid to look farther
around the next bluff.
What to do about it? Immediately
bury or burn the carcasses or simply
let the bones and skulls add to the re-
mains that now litter the larkspur
patches. But in the future, what?
You can sell Quit the business. Don't
laugh. That's what one of my neighbcrs
did. Counting that eight head of dead
cattle the morning after he turned out
was too much for him. But consider the
fellow that comes afterward. What's his
solution?
5 Per Cent a Year?
You can consider a percentage. Fig
ure, say, 5 per cent of your herd dying
every year from larkspur if you're
lucky. Fun isn't it . On top of already
high operating costs and capital invest
ments. This method may have merit,
though, for it seems that eventually
your losses will taper off. Either the
remaining cows become immune to
the poisoning or the ones that had an
appetite for the plant are nothing but
bleached bones. Not for me though,
dead cows upset my stomach.
Most stockmen get around losses by
delaying grazing. Few losses are en-
countered when the larkspur plant is
is inches or so in height Our time Of
greatest poisoning at $500 feet ranges
from mid May on the south slopes tC
mid June on the north slopes. But ir
the higher elevations, the time car
catch up with the cow Snow drifts may
delay growth causing losses some years
into August. You can't turn in accord
ing to the date on the calendar. If al
of your pastures contain larkspur, a.
mine do, delaying is only a partia
solution.
Spray? Yes. Some are doing it. Wha

To Safer Driving

signated by President Eisenhower
as Safe Driving Day, the propo-
sails being considered for presenta-
ton to the 1866 Legislature fit
into the efforts of the president
and all Safety groups to reduce
traffic accidents.
The proposals, announced by
Jesse T. Smith, chairman of the
Mayors and Governors Traffic
Safety Committee at a recent meet
ing of industrial safety group are:
12-Point System-Each traffic
offense would be recorded by points
on a drivers license; when IL
points were accumulated, the IL
cense would be revoked.
Increase License Fee-Raise fee
for drivers's license from 81 to
So and use the money to increase
number of high school students
taking drivers education. So far,
only 25%6 of students take the
course.
Show Certificate-Make each ap-
plicant for a drivers license pro-
duce a certificate showing COM
pletion of an accredited driver
course.
Compulsory Inspection-The Le-
gislature will probably consider a.
law to make yearly inspection of
automobiles compulsory, he said.

He clicked with his passes in

several touchdowns with his scor-

The State University frosh
scored big wins over Princeton

Scarlet cubs outscored the opposi-

Frank Burns cubs compiled the
first unbeaten frosh record since

Head Coach Harvey Harman
says of Whitacre:
"He is one Of the finest T-quar-
terback prospects we have had in
long time. We expect him to
make a strong bid next fall to re-
place this years varsity quarter
back, Johnny Fennell, who will be
graduated in June"
Taking over for Fennell, who
wound up the current season as
the nations 10th-ranked passer,
will be no small task but Whitacre

Harman. Whitacre is studying in
