Show Good Dry Country Advice. One who has bad long experience In Montana says: "The potato might possibly give tha, best yield on new spring plowed lands. Some seasons potatoes yield well oBj sod land, llullesa barley I also a good crop to grow, where the tnolstura Is uncertain. Hut our counsel to the beginner Is to sow Scotch Fife wheat Just as early as possible. If he get a crop it will be saleable and If he dot not get a crop of grain he may get a crop of grain hay. If our friend Is going to try to make a home on dry land, we would urge him to get five or ten acre seeded to alfalfa aa soon a possible. Dry farming Is largely a wheat proposition for the man able to operate on a large scale.' But If our friend can get ten acre of alfalfa seeded he nay soon get so he cas keep four good cow, a few chickens and a good brood sow. It will be slow and hard work establishing one' elf on a dry farm without money, and even money may fall. There are a great many factor entering Into dry farming." |
