Last year he sowed twenty acrer, first koing over the ground twice with a tooth harrow. After the eeed had been sown he went over the field again with the harrow. He states that he had an enor- mous crop of the grass. Other ranchers in that part of the range had similar resulte Spelt is another new grass that will be| sowed extensively in the Black Hills this spring. A number of the cattlemen and ranch- ers have sent for sample packages of a new stock food called soy bean. This plant will take the place of clover in states where clover is hard to grow.
