In road bond elections held this tnonth. 29 Montan,a counties have au- thorized the expenditure of $5.380,- 000 for the construction of highways in the state, according to figures com- piled by R. S. Zahniser of the engin- eering staff of the state highway commission. Five other counties previously had voted $875,000, ma- king a total of $8,255,000 available for good roads. Almost all of this money is to be spent under the fed- eral aid plan, which provides that the state and the government shall each pay half the cost of the project. The government ha3 appropriate(' $5,- 500.000 for this work in Montana. Four counties which voted on road bonds this month defeated the pro- posed issues. These counties ana the amounts of the suggested expendi- tures are as follows: Custer. $350.- 000; McCone, $754)00; Powder River /15 0 . 1)0 0: Richland. $175.000, Two counties which had called eleetions later called them off.

The decision is much affected by soil and climatic - conditions. It is true that under some conditions a good crop can be grown from shallow plowing, espe- cially whe-e land is broken for the first time. This is true of the flax erop on new ground. There are con- ditions under which good crops of flax can be grown on plowing that is not more than three inches deep, pro- vided the season is favorable. The trouble comes when the land is to be plowed a second time, for in the dry autumn it is not possible to ploW deeper without a great expenditure of power. Shallow plowing may be ad- visable when the soil is sandy—es- pecially where it is so sandy that it blows. It may . not be advantageous to plow shallow as cotnpared with deep plowing, btit, on the other hand, it may not be any advantage to plow deep compared with plowing shallow. On some soils it wottld sometimes be preferable not to plow at all. rather to use the disc. because of the pro- tection which the diming will bring to the soils in the stubble that is left on the surface and which contributes to the stopping of soil blowing. In most instances it is better to plow the land deeply when plowing it. and the depth should be at least six inches. In all areas deep plowlag will usually give better results than shallow plowing, because it opens up the Iliad to a greater depth for the storage of moisture. It is to be pre- ferred because it makes it possible to store a larger amount of moisture for the growth of the next crop than would be possible where the plowing had been shallow. Some claim that the ground should be plowed •cer .1copl st.\ by the use Of :4 machine Others claim that such deep rloa 114 on tbe start is a mistake: that it brings up too muck of the soil from below that is raw ana unreduced. There is some truth. in oar opinion. In that objection. It le muelt better. as a rule. to have the deepening pro- cess come graduall). because when a large astount of so'.I is brought up from below at one time it may lint be reduced readily and the crops may not yield so well. fte idea being to have the soil brought np from belOW Weil time to lie weathered and not cause a reduction in production. On the other hand. there are soils in which the subsoil is very similar to the surface soil. Where this condi- tion exists deep plowing' may take place at once. 'rlien the season of the year has an influence on the eepth to altich land may be plowed. It r. b. , plow- ed deeply in the mow.. • !Ilan in the spring with .11 , • and then there is time for •• -- ing in- fluences to operate bet •i•. 71 1 1 .10 time of the plowing and the time of the sowing of the seed. There are two time. ellen the land may be plowed deeper. Ore is when the land is sumnier-falloeed. When the plow brings up the soil from be- low at such a time it is exposed to weathering influences throughout the summer, and the unlocked fertility that it may contain. or much of it. is liberated so that it may be taken up by the plant that grows upon it subsequently. The other time is when a cultivated crop is grown upon it. The cultivation riven to the land , .vhen growing this crop is much the same as the cultivation given to the summer fallow and results in the un- locking of fertility.

Undoubtedly at the time it was done it seemed economical to a.Icept the lowest prices quoted-- but now you know that it was not. If you would enjoy good health and comfort you must in these days of increased prices in all things pay more for dentistry. EDMONSON DENTISTRY IS TRULY ECONOMICAL It will cost you more than some dentistry—yet it is one-third to one-half cheaper than you will be asked to pay for a like quality of workmanship, of material, of satisfaction at other offices. Thc Edmonson Dental Service was founded 17 years ago on quality. Rather than sacrifice this principle I have increased my prices sufficiently to meet the increased cost of conducting my business.
