LIVESTOCK: - HALF A CROP FOR CAREFUL -GRAIN' STEPHENSON PLANS ABOUT FARM LOAN SHERIDAN COUNTY HANDLING PAYS AID FOR FARMERS FROM.GOVERNMENT BETTER THAN EXPECTATIONS OF A FEW WEEKS AGO; NO RAIN SINCE JULY 4. Country Around Scobey Seems to Have Suffered Most on Account of Short Time Land Has Been Tilled; Thermometer Reached I I 0 De- ' grees on July W. so_ By Patrick Burke. Sheridan county will harvest pos- sibly a little more than a normal half crop this year. This is a great deal better than general expectations, and will surprise a great many people, even the farmers themselves, who had given up hopes of reaping any- thing. due the extreme hot weather and hot winds and drought. The last rain that fell in Sheridan coun- ty came July 4th, not a drop of rain has fell since. In the mutt end of the county and south along the Scobey branch from Plentywood to the main line of the Great Northern the crop has with- stood the hot winds and drought amazingly well, and this section of the country vvill reap almost a nor- mal crop. The west end of the county around Scobey seems to have suffered a great deal more, and a good many fields there have been burned up entirely, and not even any green feed has been saved from these New Land Suffered. It appears that the newer land has suffered the worst, and as Scobey is located in a newly settled portion of the county it is hit harder titan those towns in the older sections. How- ever, recent investigations have dis- closed that notwithstanding the hot blasts that have been blowing across the fields titere, the moisture of the early part of the season has been re- tained within a distance of six . inches of the top of the ground, and there are some crops that will yield fairly well. There will probably be an av- erage wheat yield in the Scobey coun- try of nine bushels per acre, and pos- sibly seven or qight bushels of flax where it was sown early. The late flax appears to be lost entirely. The highest temperature reached at Scobey was on July 26, when the local thermometers registered 110 degrees. The early oats and barley will yield - a good half crop, but the late grains of all kinds will not amount to anything appreciable, and most of them have already been cut for what fodder there is in them.

If Your Grain Contains a Large Per- centage of Foreign Material, Clean It; Feed Low Grades and Screen- ings; Low Percentage of :Moisture Will Affect Grain. -Careful handling often will get a high grade and a relatively high price for grain and hay which otherwise would grade lOw and sell low. Bay specialists of the United Slates de- partment of agriculture. It is worth while for producers to keep this fact in mind, now that the harvest season for grain and hay is approaching in many sections. The supply of the best grades of grain and hay on the market it always light. This frequently may be attri- buted directly to poor handling and care., Quality always demands the best price, hence the greatest• care should be exercised in harvesting and storing. Practical Grain Hints. Do not store damp grain or hay unless you have adequate facilities for frequent \turning.\ otherwise they are likely to go out of condition. Few farmers realize how small a per cent of moisture will cause otherwise grain or hay, to heat and deteriorate. Never bale damp hay. If your grain contains a large per cent of foreign material, clean it. It keeps better. Feed low grades and screenings on the farm. Do not mix varieties. In most cases it can be avoided. It nearly always causes the commodity you are selling to grade low. Remember at all times that there, is nearly always a better market for I clean, dry and unmixed varieties of ' grain or hay titan for that which is damp, dirty, musty, moldy and off , color.
