«800SXXXXX$S0eXX»SXX30 B K0fe»BCX^^ Montana Farming Topics L COW FEED FROM SAWDUST. Hydrolized sawdust as a part of a ration for cows is apparently giving satisfactory results in Wisconsin. The forest service of the United States department of agriculture reports that cows at the agricultural college «f that state are doing well on a ra tion consisting of one-third sawdust they did when their feed was only one-fourth wood meal. That is to say, they are keeping up their weight and their milk production and show no ill effects from the diet. The Bureau of Animal Industry is considering. the proposal of the for est service laboratory to start feed ing trials with dairy animals in which tiie wood product will form a part of the ration and the tests will extend for an entire year at least. The hy drolized wood feed for these cows will be made at the laboratory. So far all the stock feed has been made from white pine sawdust. Other soft woods particularly the western ape ries, will be tried in the future REGISTER YOUR BRANDS.

There is no better way of getting ahead of insects that start to devour the vegetable garden at this time of the year than to spray the plans with lead arsenate and bordeaux mixtures. Leaf hoppers and potato bugs were all snugly tucked away during the winter and have come out more num erous this season than ever before. The gardener who does not have in sects to deal with this summer is hard to find. Potato growers have been unable to find any spray material that is more effective in controlling potato bugs or the Colorado beetle than lead arsenate. This material, if prop erly mixed, will not injure the leaves. Paris green has been commonly used instead of lead arsenate, but tests in Iowa potato patches last year prov ed lead arsenate to be the best- Bor deaux mixture still holds an impor tant place in the list of spray ma terials. It is especially valuable in combatting flea beetles and leaf hop found on plants. A simple spray used pers. Mixtures can be rtiade that are fairly effective in controlling most of the vegetable pests that are now by small gardeners is made by using bordeaux mixture at the rate of two 1 pounds «f lime, two pounds of btee, vitnol and twenty-five gallons of water. Stir this mixture thorough-1 ly and add one pound of dry lead ar senate. Half of this amount, made in the same proportion, will probably be enough for the average gardener. For yearn potato grower, have supposed that the curling up of J potato leaves and the yellow foliage j was due to blight, but tests have shown that this is due to attacks of the leaf hoppers. They work on the. under side of the leaves. Spraying must be started immediately for the first of the two broods appear dur ing the next few weeks. There will be another brood to fight in August. Always spray the under side of the leaves to kill the leaf hopper. Selling the milk habit to folks is the way some people refer to the ed ucational campaigns which are being held under the supervision of dairy CONDUCT MILK CAMPAIGNS IN MANY COMMUNITIES specialists of the United States de partaient of agriculture. These cam paigns are co-operative enterprises, the department specialists joining with the local state extension forces and local officials and leaders in showing the value of milk as a health food- Thus far 17 states have co operated in conducting campaigns in 40 cities and more than 100 rural dis tricts. Before a milk consumption cam paign is held in a community a pre iiminary survey is conducted to make sure that the milk supply is clean and wholesome, that there is a suffi dent amount to take care of any in creased consumption resulting the campaign, and that the local au- 1 thorities are willing to co-operate in the movement. It is also made tain that a condition of undernour ishment exists among growing chil-1 dren or that children are consuming too little milk. By following this plan, the department specialists say, every milk campaign thus far con ducted has been successful and has resulted in a more than temporary cer increase in the consumption of milk, j _ . The Statistical Bulletin for April just issued by the International In stitute of Agriculture announces that] the prospects of the inter sown crops] are favorable in the United States, | where the promise for wheat is nine per cent above the average of the past ten yea«. At the beginning of April the outlook was also good in Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, THE AGRICULTURAL SITUATION Spain, France, Great Birtain, Poland, Roumania and North Africa, and average in Italy and Japan. In parts of British India the want of rain has been detrimental to wheat an crops. The spring sowing has made fa vorable progress in Belgium; Bul garia, France, Great Britain, Italy, Rumania and Japan, but delay has occurred in Spain, Ireland and Cze ch©-Slovakia. Turning to the southern hemis phere, we note that the maize crop in Argentina is 5.9 million metric tons, indicating a decrease of 11 per cent as compared with that of last season, but an increase of 21 per cent over the average of the preceding five yea«. Including the yield of this impor tant country and other maize crops of the southern hemisphere, we find the aggregate world production of maize to be 94,8 million tons, nine per cent above that of last and 15 per cent over the season, average. Statistics of livestock in Germany show an increase during 1920 of 3 per cent in the number of cattle, 15 per cent in sheep, and 34 per cent in pigs, while there also are additions of 16 per cent to the number of cat tle in Belgium, and 27 per cent to that of pigs. ttStUSttttttitttttXtittUU *: n :: STATE NEWS.

ANOTHER JUDGE FOR MONTANA FEDERAL BENCH | statement from the attorney general that the appointment of an addition Montana in the near future will get an additional federal judge, in the opinion of Representative Rid dick. The senate has passed a bill creating an additional judgeship, and Mr. Riddick interviewed members of the house judiciary committee on their attitude. Many of them were favorable and the othera have an open mind, he said. The strongest argument is the al judge will not cause additional ex pense because it will save traveling expenses of the present judge. The present arrangement, Mr. Rid dick said, denies justice to the peo ple who cannot afford to travel the length of the state and take witness with them to appear in court actions. An additional judge will bring the courts within reach of the people.
