Many farming systems ow in er instances more permanent in of - vogue are depleting soil n of roots feet.

Probably 75 tug troubles per cent of farmers try to control . soil drifting at first by modified - systems of cultivation. Sooner or later more direct corrective methods must be brought into play. Cutliva- Hon practices merely treat the symp- toms but do not strike at the real root of the trouble. The farmer. however, is hazulicaoried_ because the more permanent cures require fun- damental rearrangements within the farming scheme which are impossible of immediate realization.\ Among the means advised for pre- venting soil blowing and correcting conditions which cause soil to drift, are mentioned the use of the furrow dril in planting winter wheat, \shar- ing,\ summer fallow without plow- ing, strip farming, intertilled crops. cover crops, green manuring, appli- cation of manure, emergency cultiva- tion and the growing of various crops to restore the fibre to the soil. \Soil blowing is really a sign of soil deterioration,\ says the author. It is one of the surest indcators of the fact that continuous grain crop- ping gradually causes certain chang- es . and brings about definite losses In the. soil. Soil which, when first broken up. has been mellow and friable and has shown no indication of drifting, begins to wash and seems to have lost some of its original mel- lowness: when a dry or windy sea- son comes along and Mr. Farmer be- gins to see his real estate rising in altitude, this proposition becomes a problem. This past winter the writ- er has noticed areas in various parts of the state where soil blowing is al- ready a problem demanding imme- diate attention. To permit a layer of valuable top soil to be drifted away on a Montana breeze is a sure and gradual methoi of agricultural sui- cide. Under semi -arid conditions the Co-operation is necessary for suc- vegetable decay and organic matter cessfully solving the soil blowing of centuries has accumulated and re- problem ,says Mr. Ogaard since all mained on the top soil.

Careful surveys of various drift soils have brought out the belief that the coarse fibres such as roots, straw and the like, are more concerned than that portion of the organic matter which is in a more advanced stage of decay. There is no doubt that conernuous grain cropping with or without summer fallow is mighty bard on the organ- ic matter.

Cures may be farmers living in a district where soil blows must work together to bring about lasting benefits. On this subject he says: \One individual workin,g_ alone in a soil blowing dis- trict is apt to become ZiO - uraged as in many instances it is a community Problem. The best combination of methods for any particular situation can only be determined by the man on the job who is properly informed as to possible remedies and who ap- plies good common horse sense in diagnosing his case and in applying effective and economical practices in attempting to \Keep the Real Es- tate on the Farm.\ Even clay soils will blow under favorable conditions, says Mr. Ogaard, but advises that \the cut- ting effect and resultant damage in the case of clay soil is markedly less, but any kind of soil may blow.

The tests now arranged will include listing, plowing folowed by duckfooting, and stubbling followed by duckfooting.

' her record for the. year was 706erpounds of butter fat and 13475 pounds of milk. For the entire test period her milk av- eraged 0.24 per cent fat and she car- ried calf during 230 of the 365 days. A report of the test received at Montana State college from the Am- erican Cattle club is as follows: \A five -year -old Jersey cow, Echo's Fairy Lass 453128, has completed an official test which makes her the Jersey champion of Montana as well as the champion over all breeds in her age class. In addition to these honors this producer has also quali- fied for the American Jersey Cattle Club gold medal. In the show ring ' the local cow -testing asso- ciation she has also made a splendid showing. \Lass started on this test at the age of five years and four months and in the ensuing 365 days the pro- duced 706.02 pounds of fat and 13475 pounds of milk.

' \As an economical preducer Lass ranks high for she made her splen- did record on a grain ration which consisted of 10 pounds per day of a mixture of oats, bran and oilmeal. About 50 pounds of silage and al- falfa was also fed each day. Lass' normal weight is 850 poiinds so it will be noted that she produced al- most her own weight in 85 per cent butter.

M ONTANA'S DISTINCTIVE HOSTELRY (From Montana State College) T LEAST a 30 per cent in- crease in pedigreed seed grow- ers is expected in Montana this year, says 0. J. Ogaard, secre- tary of the Montana Seed Growers' association. Last year there were 200 farmers co-operating with the Seed Growers' association and the Montana Extension service in the production of such seed. Mr. Ogaard advises that Mon- tana's system of pedigreeing seed, the inspection and packing regula- tion which has been developed, is the model for other states, and many others are adopting the Mon- tana plan. During the coming summer representatives of the Fed- erated Seed Service, an organiza- tion of co-operative seed marketing agencies of the east and middle west will visit one of Montana's principal alfalfa growing districts If present plans are carried out. Farmers who ar egrowing pedi- greed seed for the first time this year are urged to secure their ap- plications from the Montana Seed Growers' association at once. Ap- plications and information may be obtained trom county agents or by writing t. the secretary of the as- sociation at Bozeman. Early at- tention to the matter is necessary to alow time to arrange for the ne- cessary field inspections. Pure seed growers of other years need not write for application blanks as their names are on file and the ne- \DIAMOND DYES\ Beautiful home dyeing and tinting is guaranteed with Diamond Dyes.
