all of us and more than likely there
will be number of bright spots.
Water, both stored and live, will
be one of the major items again in
the crops and livestock enterprises,
and at the present there are both
good and bad areas in the state.
Getting the most benefit out of the
moisture we have is always chal-
lenge and calls for timely perform
ance of all practices. 1t is sur
prising the increased benefits re-
ceived from just small amount of
additional water on most crops.
Surplus Seed
Mention has been made in this
column and elsewhere concerning
the scarcity of certain classes of
farm seed, especially barley, oats
and flax, for the 1854 planting
season. The heavy demand has
come about because of the acreage
that will be taken out of wheat to
meet the acreage allotments.
1t would be helpful if all pro-
| ducers who have surplus of any
of these classes of farm seed would
list them with the county extension
agent in his county and at the same
time, send a quart sample, repre-
sentative of the entire lot, to the
Montana Seed Testing Laboratory,
Montana State College, Bozeman,
Montana, for purity and germina-
ton test.
Such a test is necessary under the
Montana Seed Law before any farm
crop can be sold as seed. 1t would
also be helpful if all growers whose
fields were passed for certification
would get the seed cleaned and a
peck sample sent to the Montana
Seed Growers Association, Montana
State College, Bozeman for a grade
determination.

root rot and smut; such insects as
wireworms, cutworm and aphid;
such conditions as frost damage and
drouth all have made their appear
ance singly and in combination in
past years and are even more likely
to be production factors in the
future. AS a production area be-
comes older, more of the factors
that tend to reduce yield seem to be
present.
When disease strikes it is too late
in many cases to do very much
about it. There is a little more
leeway with insects, but with some
conditions there is nothing to be
done 1t would seem that anything
that would help the plant get off
to healthy early start would be
worth the time and labor necessary.
A good healthy plant has better
chance of doing good job of pro-
ducing.
Treat Seed
There are several things that can
be done: l. All seed should be
treated with fungicide before it is
planted. A good job is required to
give the young plant the proper
protection. The better the equip
ment used, the better the job that
will be done. A poor job frequently
gives little protection. Seed treat
ment not only protects from spores
on the seed but from many soil
borne fungi. Where insects work
underground an insecticide should
be added to the fungicide.
Plant Early
2. Early planting is recommended
for the best protection. All plant
ings, insofar as weather conditions
will permit, should be seasonal.
This is very important in the areas
of the state that are likely to be
affected in case of blackstem rust
epidemic. Most of the rust loss and
minor infestations that occurred in
1858 were found on the last plant
ings, while frost damage may occur
any year and at any period of early
growth, the healthier the plant, the
less likelihood of damage.
Fertilize
3. While the results from the
application of commercial fertilizer
have been spasmodic in some of
the spring wheat areas, Joe Asleson,
Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station, says that even small kick
off to the plants in the early stage
of growth can more than pay for
the cost of the fertilizer Here again,
is another possibility of making that
young plant healthy enough to ward
off enemies.
Joe recommends 80 to so pounds
treble superphosphate per acre ap-
! piled through the grain spout with
i the seed. This means the use of a
fertilizer applicator and adjusted ia
run the fertilizer in the spout with
e the grain. At the present price Of

/, on 200 acres would more than pay

@. What can 1 do about puffs
under my eyes?
A. Make an eye compress of a
strip of absorbent cotton, dipped
in cold water, pressed almost dry,
iced, and then sprinkled with eye
lotion or very mild skin freshener
Press this gently over the closed
eyes and puffs, lie down, and re-
lax.
Q. What is good, inexpensive
shampoo can mix myself?
A. Heat together an egg and a
teaspoonful of mild skin soap. APP
ply this with the fingertips, rub
bing we'll into the scalp. Rinse with
hot, then lukewarm, then cold
water.
Q. How should one give oneself
an oil treatment for dry hair?
A. Before each shampoo, heat
six tablespoons olive oil and rub it
all over the scalp, separating the
hair in many parts so you don't
miss an inch. Wrap your head in a
towel like an Arab, and leave it
that way several hours or over
night. When washing the oil out,
it's better to dip hair into cold
water before applying shampoo, as
warm water diffuses the oil and
makes it harder to remove.

O. How can / add a delicate
fragrance to my handkerchiefS?

A. When laundering, put a small
