Helena - The mystery of the
growth of sagebrush over 70 mil
lion acres of range and a proposed
method of control with legume
grasses is explored in the current
Montana Stockgrower.
Arthur D. Miles of Livingston,
writing in the Stockgrowers Assoc
iation monthly publication, reports
certain success in controlling sage
brush in an experimental home
control alfalfa plot.
Half the sage was killed by
heavily discing a number of years
ago. At first a fair stand of alfalfa
grew from broadcasting. Now the
alfalfa has developed enough roots
and accumulated enough fertility
to produce as well as it does on
hay meadows.
Miles continued, a few of the
old sagebrush died last summer;
no sage seeding have become
| established the past several years
and grass production has increased
tremendously on the home test
plot.
''There is reason to believe that
other legumes would have the
same productive and sage control
ling effect-birdsfoot trefoil, al
sike clover" Miles reported,
'Thickening up the grass cover by
supplying legume-fixed fertility
seems to be the answer to the pro-
blem of keeping the sage from re-
seeding. We found that our sage
areas are capable of tremendous
grass production if fertility is
provided"

we write words or sentences?
How could we follow printed
directions in any subject of the
third grade If we couldn't read?
How in the world could we
learn to spell, even first or
second-grade words?
Too Tempting
It's fine you are trying to
help your son learn his letters.
But flash-cards are pretty dead
ening for him. Besides, they
suggest speed and tempt you
to expose him to too many at
a sitting. IF you do use these
cards, pick out just two or three
letters for him to practice on
an evening, letters very unlike
and not easily confused.
Be calm as you help him.
After he has looked at and
named a certain letter, have
him find it as often as he can
from the page of an easy book.
After he masters the rs letters
in print he also will need, for
his grade, to learn them in
script and use them in writing.
Please don't make him feel
ashamed he doesn't know them.
Celebrate his successes.

Six men in the camp owned
only the cotton trousers and
shirts they were wearing. They
had fled from Thysville when
