Farming notes on pastures baits and winter plans in Montana counties
W F Krueger recalls early ice wells and winter feeding. Rosebud county used 3 600 pounds of bait to poison 114 fields in 1931 and 4 500 pounds for 112 fields this year, saving an estimated 6 000 dollars. Richland county now has 287 acres of planted pastures with 25 farmers adopting the Huntley grass system. Weather stripping can cut fuel bills by 15–20 percent. Stacking hay efficiently reduces losses from 25 percent to about one percent in large stacks. Wibaux county expands alfalfa from 400 acres in 1928 to 4 500 acres in 1932. Stillwater county has over 300 acres seeded with the Huntley mixture.
