PASTURE PLANNING
If this is the year that you are
planning a new pasture on irriga-
ton or dryland, it will pay you to
get copy of the Montana Agri-
cultural Experiment Station circu-
lar on forage crop varieties for
Montana. This circular number
is 227.
This circular includes num-
Der of pasture mixtures that are
recommended for various condi-
tions. For example, there are COM
plex and simple permanent pas
ture mixtures for Well-drained ir-
rigated land, for short time rota-
ion pastures on wel-drained and
poorly drained land, and for land
where the supply of irrigation
water is limited. Also included are
recommendations for dryland pas
lures and hay production.
All of these recommendations
are based on the adaptation of the
forage species as we'll as on the
experimental results and grazing
trials. Other information is in
cluded on irrigated hay mixtures,
seeding dates and rate of seed
ing for forage crops.
Circular 227 on Forage Crop
Varieties is very useful source
of information and you can get
copies at the County Extension
Office.
SPRING CLEANUP
IMPORTANT
Cleanup makes good sense for
a lot of reasons. Most important OF
all is that it helps make the lives
of you and your family safer
from fire and other accidents.
According to the National Fire
/ Protection Association, which has
been gathering and analyzing fire
records since 1896, more than hall
a million homes in this country
were hit by fire last year. Over
! $500 people died in these fires
OF the total, there were about
700 fires in farm buildings
alone.
Rubbish is one of the top foul
causes of building fires the Ma
tional Fire Protection Association
records show. Cleanup our home e:
and farm buildings and we viii
cut the number of dangerous
killing fires as well as a multitude
of other accidents caused by ac.
cuanulated debris. A goal o
Spring Cleanup" is to make ev
cry farm and house in this are;
safer from fire and other ac
cidents.

Be sure you have the right kir

i No matter. what type of bre
