ence the style of planting to be
followed. These will include the
architecture of the house, topog-
raphy of the land and existing
natural paintings. In a rural setting
the plan should show spacious
ness with the farm home as the
focal point in the landscape set
ting. The objective is to give an
overall picture that shows unity,
restfulness and beauty.
Best results are obtained when
living plant material is the domi-
nant element in the landscape pic
ture and non-living ornaments and
accessories are used with restraint.
In this way trees, shrubs, vines
and flower paintings soften harsh
architectural features, while trees
and shrubs planted in pleasing
groups and masses help to add
pleasing skyline effects to the en-
tire landscape picture.
Many suggestions on landscap-
ing will be found in the Montana
Extension service bulletin "Plan-
Beautify Your Home Grounds,
and copies may be obtained at the

Practices Applied
In 1854 Soil
Conservation

Farmers in Richland County
Soil Conservation District applied
conservation practices on their
lands late into the fall season in
1854. This was due to the very
favorable weather conditions
which prevailed. Technical assis-
lance, including engineering, soil
surveys, and planning was provid-
ed by the local Soil Conservation
Service technicians.
The District includes all of
Richland county with a total of
1921, 800 acres. There are 1857
operating units in the District.
The District is governed by a
board of supervisors of which Carl
Hunter is chairman, c.. R. Theis-
sen, vice chairman, Sterling Swig-
art, Dwight Howard and Leo
Hackley, regular members.
The land leveling in the valley
was done by the district equip
ment and a number of other con-
tractors who worked in the coun-
ty. Generally there was sufficient
equipment to take care of ali re-
quests for leveling land. A total of
394 acres of land was leveled,
ranging from small acreages of 2
acres to larger fields of 80 to
35 acres.
Drainage was another important
practice carried out by farmers
in the valley. A total of SGT acres
OF land was affected by new
drainage. Many of the drainage
projects that r under construc-
ton were not completed. Several
new areas are under investigation.
Shortage of funds and equipment
needed for digging drains has
caused drain construction to prog
ress at a slower rate than is de-
sirable.
In the dryland section. of the
district wind strip cropping and
stock water developments (dams,
springs, and wells) were the out
standing practices in 1854. Strip
cropping is a very important con-
servation practice and it is pleas
ing to see that more farmers every
year r getting strip farming es-
tablished. There is a definite need
for more stubble mulch tillage and
contour farming in the district if
the sleeper crop land in the coun-
ty is to be adequately protected
from wind and water erosion.
erased waterways is another con-
%servation practice which should be
increased in the coming years.
While stock water dam con-
%struction was lower in 1854, stock

Rabbit Hunting
At Night Is
Dangerous Sport

Rabbit hunting at night, which
is gaining in popularity with east
ern Montana hunters, is causing
widespread alarm among livestock
producers and land owners in GER
tain areas.
The sport of hunting rabbits at
night by carlights with % or
larger caliber rifles can have SER
ious results to the lives of people
because of the extended range Of
the bullet.
The Montana Fish and Game
Department urges rabbit hunters
to exercise extreme caution to
prevent vehicle damage in seeded
grain fields, when pursuing rab-
bits, and to avoid wounding live
stock that are beyond the visi-
bility Of the artificial lights.
The use of 20, Is and 410 guage
shotguns can retain the sportiness
of hunting the prolific rodent and
should minimize the danger to
livestock because of the decreased
range Of the s%cattergun.

AN ARTIFICIAL
DISSEMINATION NOTE

In trials conducted at Cornell
University in New York state it
was found that a higher percen-
tage of COWS settled on first SER
vice when breeding was delayed
until at least so days after fresh
ening. For example, of the cows
bred so to so days after freshen-
ing, Sc percent settled on first SER
vice. Those bred go to 80 days af-
ter freshening settled 70 percent
on first service, and those bred
later than go days settled 76 per-
cent on first service. These trials
bear out what artificial breeding
associations have also learned,
namely that COWS bred too soon
after freshening do not settle well.

EAT MORE EGGS

The nationwide campaign to en-
courage consumers to use more
eggs during January is designed
to help reduce the record supply
that is forecast for this month.
Egg supplies are now increas-
ing s~easonally - a trend that
started in September and will con-
tinue until March or April. Mar
keting specialists of the USDA es-
innate that in January the num-
Der of layers in farm flocks is
likely to be about 3 percent larger
than a year earlier. Also, the rate
~ production per layer will prob
ably be higher than it was a year
ago. AS a result, January's egg
production will be at a record high
for the month - probably 5 per-
cent larger than in January 1854.
Pricewise eggs proved unusual
value to consumers. In 1854 -
for the first time on record -
average egg prices failed to fol-
low the seasonal pattern of in
creasing from spring to fall. In
stead, prices to farmers have grad
ually declined. In mid-O October,
they we're the years lowest to
date - and also the lowest for
that date since 1941.
Since prices r expected to
continue at low levels for several
months, consumers can benefit
from the excellent nutritive value
Of eggs at low cost.
PLAN LANDSCAPING NOW
Winter evenings are a good

ing work that will be done this

flying results. Since the present To-
cation of buildings, walks, drives
and other permanent features must
be considered for good results. a

the best way to start on the land

Viewpoint Distorted

The phonics controversy has
more lives than a cat. It Is
unforunate that DR.. Flesch has
given such an extreme and dis
torted viewpoint with regard to
the whole subject. I am sure he
wrote the book with his tongue
in his cheek.
Phonics is only one aspect of
word perception and we must re-
turn neither to the old, dull,
mechanical phonic drills and
meaningless context nor to the
total guessing from the con-
text.
The profession must work Wig
orously to answer honest criti-
cisms of our schools. We must
not leave unanswered unfair and
unjust criticisms.
This is not a new problem.
Horace Mann, in his reports,
expressed utter concern over the
lack of good reading ability Of
the children of that day.

teacher from one of the Scan
