P TO KILL CUTWORMS. The time to get the scalp of the ‘cutworm is before the crop shows above ground. This'ever hungry devastator is then keen for food and will make a fatul meal of bran mash (an ounce of paris green mixed with two or three pounds of wheat bran moistened with diluted molasses). Pinches of this mash ‘well placed under shingles or. flat stones will put the cutworms out of business.—. Farm and Fireside. “ ses0 FPPIEFISIPFLENES PEERPPE 0D b PN P X R R AN AGRICULTURAL EMPIRE. Remarkable Results of Dry Farming In Montana. . Not many years ago the press of the Rocky mountain states, especially those having large areas of what is classified 98 .semi-arid land, printed enthusiastic predictions concerning the future of dry farming methods, says the New York Sun. Much that was claimed for the method seemed based on hope rath- er than achievement even in experi- ments. Recent results in dry farming if they have been published have es- caped general attention. Therefore there will be surprise not less than Bemidji The Pencil that satisfies both old and young. Yes, you can buy them at almost every store in town and some stores out of town. They are five cents apiece, and when you buy a NEW BEMIDJI for a nickle, you get your moneys worth. Just say “NEW BEMIDJI”’ to your merchant. He'll know. Where they sell ’em. gratification at the news that agricul: ture is now the chief industry of Mon- Eduard Netzer Pharmacy tana, although that state is second in the Union in copper production, first in wool production, not far from first in cattle production and in Miles City has the largest horse market in the Union. This was the assertion recently made by Senator Myers of Montana, and he fortified his claim with statistics of crop returns. Without details the al- most startling story is told by the to- tals of the farm value of the crops of wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, potatoes, Barker’s Drug and Jewelry Store S. T.

Schmitt’s Eru“, for the former year being $7,905,693 Otto G. Schwandt and for the latter $47,893,000, Mrs. E. L. Woods Montana’s production per acre of ev- ery crop just mentioned is greater than the average for the United States and greater with the single exception of fax in a single state than any of the twelve most productive agricultural states. It is interesting to follow fur- ther these figures of comparison com- plled from the department of agricul- ture statistics, Montana’s nearest competitor in acreage average. for wheat is Iowa, with 17.7 bushels, to Montana's 25.4 bushels. Other comparisons in bushels with the new agricultural state’s near- est competitors are: Oats, Montana 43.2, Ohio 33.7; barley, Montana 3438, Illinois- 28.2; potatoes, Montana 148, ‘Wisconsin 99; ryve. Montana 22.8; Min- nesota 19.2. The strides Montana is making are shown by this cowmparison: In the ten years ended 1913 the total wheat crop of the United States increased 38 per cent; Montana’s increase was 900 per cent, from 2,500,000 bushels in 1904 to 21,000,000 in 1913. .In 1914 she raised of oats 18,550,000 bushels, of potatoes 5,180,000 bushels. Senator Myers referred to the areas where these amazingly fine results are being obtained as “the vast tablelands with dry farming areas in northern and eastern Montana,” but stated that the totals were being added to in the relatively small areas where irrigation is made possible by reclamation pro- Jects. The great importance of the interest- ing story, however, is the revelation it makes as to the possibilities of dry farming methods. The Mountain State is awake to her opportunity; many of her counties employ- experts in dry farming who instruct farmers in im- proved methods, and the state’s agri- cultural ‘college is graduating men equipped still further, no doubt, to ex- tend and perfect this new science. In view of the admirable results al- ready achieved and that there remain many millions of acres of semi-arid lands awaiting to reward the applica- tlon of dry farming, it seems proper that gentlemen who have alarmed us with their warnings that this country is rapidly approaching its maximum of food production should revise their conclusions.
