SEED PEAS.

Seed peas are attracting much in
terest in the Gr .Hatin valley and other
parts of Montana. Beginning in 1911
with 2,500 acres, thers are this year
between 9,000 and 10^000 acres under
cultivation in Gallatin county alone.
The varieties comprise all of the
common garden sorts, particularly
the early kinds. They are grown on
both dry and irrigated lands, and are
now being sown in rows as a culti
vated crop. A four-row cultivator,
similar to that used in sugar beet cul
ture, is the implement for cultivating
peas.
In harvesting peas an attachment
which lifts the vines is used on the
cutter bar of an ordinary mower.
Sometimes rods of graduated lengths
are attached in the rear of the cutter
bar to throw the pea vines to the
left and clear the track for the next
round, though commonly men are em
ployed to do this work with forks.
Bean and pea hullers are being pro
cured to thresh the dried crop, as the
ordinary separator destroys a large
amount of seed by splitting. It is
possible, by taking out the concaves
and running at low speed, to reduce
the damage. Special cylinders for
■peas are also made for some sep
arators.
The seed yields from fifteen to thir
ty bushels per acre and brings from
PEA HARVESTER ATTACHMENT.
$1.25 to $2 per bushel, according to
variety. A few of the best crops have
yielded fifty bushels per acre.
Peas put the ground in splendid
condition for subsequent crops, both
as regards fertility and tilth. As a
tillage crop they help to clean the
ground.
The higher valleys of ^lontana.
with moist soil and cool climate,
should prove peculiarly adapted to
pea culture and the raising of seed
peas may be regarded an important
industry.

PRACTICAL LESSONS.
Facts Picked Up at Montana Demon
stration Farms.
Interesting lessons are learned from
the different crops and methods of
management on the various demon
stration farms maintained by the Mon
tana Experimental Station. Among
them we may note the following:
1. Fall wheat (Turkey Red or
Kharkov) is almost everywhere suc
cessful in Montana without irrigation.
It appears to be the safest and most
profitable crop.
2. Alfalfa sown in rows and culti
vated grows more vigorously and
yields heavier crops of forage than
when sown broadcast or in drills six
inches apart. For seed the former
method of sowing is also far more
promising.
3. Flax that is sown early (before
the 5th of May) is the best. Land
well worked down and firm is best for
flax.
4. Harrowing grain in the spring is
not showing the advantage that many
farmers claim when compared witli
grain not harrowed.
6. The corn crop recovers very
Quickly from damage by hail.
6. Spring grains should be sown
early, of early varieties, and even
then are uncertain.— F. S. Cooley.
Well Balanced Diet.
▲ woman in charge of the foods at
a popular girls' school, who maintains
an economical as well as a pleasing
diet, attributes part of her success to
the fact that she serves an almost
endless variety of good breads, not
only good white, graham and whole
wheat breads, but raisin breads, nut
breads, rolls, rusks, zwieback, coffee
cake, corn breads and fruit muffins.
None of these breads are expensive
as compared with meats, and when
taken with a small amount of meat
end a plentiful supply of vegetables
and fruit they make a well balanced
diet

Blanche Stuart Scott, since Harriet

tention of not merely duplicating but
of doubling Miss Quimby's successful

she witnessed from her aeroplane, to
entertain any fears of ber own ability
to escape a like fate.
"A death is only an Incident in the
development of the science." she says,
"and pioneers have died in the early
struggles of all causes. It remains for
those who are left to keep on striving
for the ultimate triumph for which
those who died gave up their lives."
MAURICE E. M'LOUGHLIN.
Young Californian Who Holds Highest
American Tennis Honors.
Maurice E. McLoughlin of California,
this year's national lawn tennis cham
pion, is only twenty-two years old. He
was born in Carson City, Nev., on Jan.
7, 1890, and has been playing tennis
since he was thirteen years old.
In taking both the national singles
and doubles in the same year, a feat
which he accomplished at the recent
Newport tournament, McLoughlin won
the highest American honors and du
plicated the performance of Beals C.
Wright in 1905.
McLoughlin began to win champion
ships early in his career, commencing
with the junior titles in San Francis
co. In 1905 he entered the California
Btate championship, but he did not
win an important title until 1907, when
he took the San Francisco city cham
pionship.
Each season since he has been prom

The peerless Californian wins chiefly
by his sweeping attack at the net. his
hard hitting and splendid control. This
season he stands as undefeated, the
Pacific coast, the Longwood cup, the
western states, New York state and
other premier championships falling to
his portion.
When on the courts McLoughlin
stands five feet ten and a half inches
