Why Stubble Mulch Tillage
Every year in Richland and
surrounding counties, wind and
water move a lot of precious top
soil from our fallowed fields. Ex-
! perience and experiments by our
state agricultural colleges have
proven that much of this erosion
could be prevented by leaving as
much crop residues on the sur
face as possible.
Crop residues on the surface
furnish protective cover, and or
ganic matter, and improve soil
filth. Stubble mulch tillage
should be used on summer fall
low as a supplement to strip CROP
ping and contour strip cropping,
not as a substitute for it. The
object of tillage should be to
maintain as much residue on the
surface as can be seeded with the
equipment available.
The Montana Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has carried on
research work for several years
to determine the value Of stub
BILE mulch tillage. Most of this
work has been located at the
Northern Montana Branch Ex-
pertinent Station at Havre, and
the Moen farm near Froid in
Roosevelt county. The Expert
ment Station results show that
yield-wise the black fallow slight
ly exceeded the stubble mulch
during the first years of the
trials, but during later years the
stubble mulch exceeded black
fallow. 1t is also interesting to
note the stubble mulch generally
shows the greater advantage dur
ing the dryer years. In all of the
trials, fallow protected by crop
residues on the surface has shown
much more resistance to wind
and water erosion as compared
to the black fallow.
There are many types of tool
bars and blade implements now
on the market that do a good
job of leaving the crop residue on
the surface. Most of these i'm
plements are so constructed that
they do an economical, efficient
job under a variety of condi-
tiOnS.

utes turn pieces and haste with
the drippings in the pan. The
chicken should be done in an
hour or less, depending upon the
thickness of the pieces. The home
economists caution against over
cooking which dries out young,
lean chicken.
You can vary the seasoning ac-
cording to your taste. Some
homemakers add chopped fresh
herbs IT powdered dry herbs -
a very little to the fat before
brushing it on the chicken pieces,
Some add a little powdered mus
tard, a few drops of onion Juice
or lemon juice. Some like pap

Mems Fashions
The fashion world usually re-
wolves in a feminine atmosphere.
But men, too, make their apparel
preferences felt by the clothing
industry. Recent production fig
ures of mems garment manufac-
turers show some gradual but
important shifts in these prefer
enceS.
Men evidently are coming to
appreciate the mix-match idea
that is basic in the wardrobes OF
many women. One-third more
separate sports jackets and trous-
ers were produced per man (18
years and over) in 1856 than in
1851.
Gentlemen prefer wool, accord
ing to the production figures.
More than 80 percent of the
regular weight suits manufactur-
ed between 1851 and 1856 were
cut from all wool or mostly wool
fabrics. These fabrics were also
used in summer suits. Cotton,
long the most important fiber
for work pants, has risen in
popularity for separate dress and
sport trousers. Considered cool,
comfortable, and easy to clean,
fabrics that are Affection and
chiefly-cotton blends were used
in about a fourth of these trous-
ers produced in 1856.
Another interesting fact is that
the typical mans suit requires
less fabric than it used to. A
few years ago manufacturers
used about 3h yards of material
in an average suit. Now, due to
the shift away from matching
vests and double breasted suits,
the average is closer to 8 yards.

Oyen-C Cooked Fryers

EIyCIS
Birds for the family platter
now are the young, tender broil-
er-fryer chickens on markets the
country over. Most of these birds
sell cut-up in serving pieces and
packaged. OF course, the tradi-
tional and most common meth
cd of, cooking is frying.
Even if fried chicken is your
favorite dish, most families APP
preciate variety when chicken
comes to the table often. So il
pays to know successful ways to
cook these young, lean birds.
Many homemakers today are in
terested in cooking with less fat
than is required by frying. They
also want cooking that saves time
and labor for the cook.
A simple h~ot-oven bake meets
these specifications and proved
most successful in tests at the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
lures Institute of Home Econom-
les.
In an oven at 400 degrees F
the tender chicken pieces take
only SO to so minutes to cook.
They should come out delicate

Only a little fat is needed and
no Touring or dipping in batter
as for fried chicken. Oven-cook-
ing calls for the minimum OF
attention by the cook - another
advantage. Here's how to do it:
Rub or lightly brush chicken
pieces with soft fat. Season with
salt and pepper as desired. Place
pieces skin down on a rack in a

Stubble Mulch and
Weed Control

What about stubble mulch til
lage for controlling weeds? This
question always comes up when
the subject of stubble mulch
tillage is being discussed.
The experiments on the Stub
BILE mulch tillage by the Montana
Experiment Stations both at
Froid and Havre have shown that
weeds can be very satisfactorily
controlled by subsurface tillage.
DR.. James Power of the Eastern
Montana Branch Station, who has
supervised the tests at Froid dur
ing the past few years, said
that he could find little difference
in weed control between the var
ious systems Of fallow. Some OF
our dryland operators in Rich
land county who have practiced
stubble mulch tillage for a num-
Der of years have some OF the
cleanest fields in the county.
The best example that we have
showing the effectiveness Of weed
control by subsurface tillage is
by one of our longtime certi-
fled seed producers in Richland
county. This seed producer has
used nothing but stubble mulch
tillage for a number of years and
all of the fields on his farm are
clean enough to produce certl-
fled seed which means mighty
weed free fields. OF course, this
operator has used nothing but
the cleanest Of seed for plant
ing, has sprayed diligently for
broad leaved weed control, and
timed his tillage operations ef-
fectively.
We will admit that during pro-
longed wet spells weeds have a
tendency to regrow when blade
type implements are used. Pro-
longed wet spells in this part OF
the country, however, are rather
the exception than the rule, and
il such good fortune should pre-
vail, it may be necessary to use
a variety of implements for on
trolling weeds. Ordinarily, though
weeds can be controlled in fall
low with ordinary subsurface till
age implements.

Spraying for
Buck Wheat

State scientists recommend the
use of 2,4-D for controlling this
weed in wheat fields. Eugene
Heikes, State Weed Control Spe-
cialist, states that farmers should
not use less than II a pound
and applications of up to three
fours of a pound actual material
have been effective. He also
states that IL gallons of water
per acre are needed at 80 to 40
pounds operating pressure. Mr.
Heikes says that early spraying
is most effective on this plant.
Spray as soon as the grain reach
es a safe stage of growth (when
it has five or six leaves per
plant). The smaller the leaves
are the easier they are to kill
