FARMER CAN'T AFFORD
TO TAKE LONG CHANCES

=" The small margin of profit
that comes to the wheat Producer
under present prices is one of the
strongest factors in changing far
msrs from the stubbling-in method
to the alternate fallow and wheat
system says Wallo Kidder, ex-
tension agronomist at the Montana
state college.
The modern wheat farmer has n
large investment in equipment and
land. The necessity for keeping
the income high enough to pay a
reasonable return on investment
prohibits taking risks. Years of
experimentation have proved con-
clusively that the best way of re-
moving risks is by the alternate
fallow system.
In speaking of the advantages 81
the alternate fallow and wheat
method, as compared to stumbling
in. the agronomist calls attention
to practical tests carried on in the
state which proves that twice as
many bushels per acre will be pro-
duced per acre under normal con-
ditions. Other advantages r
that the land remains comparative
ly free of weeds under the alter
nate fallow system if good seed is
used, operations can be mor time
ly and the crop is of high quality.
The weed hazard is n of the
greatest disadvantages of the stub
bling-in method, in the opinion of
he agronomist. Weed seed may
lie dormant for several years and
the stubbling-in process increases
the supply. The alternate falfow
successfully kills a large share OF
these weeds and makes available
just that much more moisture for
the wheat crop. Continued prac-
tice OF alternate fallow is the best
assurance of weed-free soil.

Iodized Salt For
Goiter Prevention

Goiter, especially in pigs, re-
quires constant vigilance to pre-
vent losses. as it may occur one
spring and not appear again the
next year, says d. E. Edwards, ex-
tension livestock specialist at Mon
tana state college. The only way
to be safe IS to feed iodine in the
form of iodized salt every winter.
Because of the unwillingness Of
some sows to eat salt, the special
ist. suggests that potassium iodide
be mixed with the grain ration be-
fore narrowing time. Sows which
receive such a ration will not give
birth to hairless pigs, a common
indication of goiter.
The dose recommended for sows
during the winter months is two
grains Of potassium iodide once
each week. To make measuring
convenient, Mr.. Richards suggests
that the potassium iodide be bought
in two grain tablets. Dissolve the
tablets in water and mix with the
grain.
Iodized salt for ewes and COWS
can be mixed conveniently on the
ranch with little effort. One ounce
Of potassium iodide mixed with
800 pounds of salt is the proper
proportion. A little charcoal,
mixed with the potassium iodide
to give 1t color, simplifies the
mixing. Two men with shovels
can mix about a ton of iodized
salt in an hour, or enough for
approximately 1000 head of ewes.

other would have provided jury
/ service for women.
Among the major tasks still con
fronting the legislature is that OF
| deyising a feasible ALLEGATION bill
for the $1,000, 900 bond issue vot-
ed for the improvement of state
institutions.
Three tax measures also will be
fought when they appear for de-
bate. TIE first proposes a tax upon
hydro-electric plants; the second
a tax of 81 on telephone instru-
ments and third, the four cent tax
on cigarettes and 10 per cent on
tobacco.
The Communist party would be
removed from the ballot under the
terms of a bill proposed by the
house judiciary committee. The
measure provides that the terms
of a political party OF a political
principle wherever they appear In
the election laws of the state shall
be defined to be one that does not
advocate the overthrow of con-
stituted authority, state or feder-
al, by force or violence.
All Of these measures, togeth-
er with the easy" divorce meas
ure have the nature of dynamite
and may cause considerable troub-
lie in the fairly smooth working
assembly.
There is a recurring rumor that
representatives Of counties having
educational OF custodial institu-
lions may concert 10 obtain larg-
er splits from the $1,000, 900 bond
issue, of which it is proposed to
retain a considerable part as a
e fund. The committee on
ALLEGATIONS recommended that less
than two-thirds of the amount be
spent.
The tax proposed on telephone
instruments will bring a sharp a.
ignnent of members as viii thu
bill to create a commission to in
v~estigate telephone rates, fix new
rates if advisable and empower
the courts to place the proposed
rates in effect.
While this session of the legis-
lature has no member who is not
of the major parties, and while,
it is unlikely that any are inclin-
ed toward Communistic ideas, the
proposal to abolish the party's par
ticipation in political affairs, will
be fought.
Opponents of the plan do not
think it would be constitutional
and believe that to deprive "off
color" politicians from an oppor-
tunity to participate might drive
them to more violent activities
increase their following
among the lower classes. In 9th
er words, they feel the measure
would work inversely; instead of
limiting the spread of Communism
it would provoke its spread.
While a lively week was fore
cast, a heavy week was complet-
ed. A variety of proposals, includ-
ing one toward stricter marriage
laws made their appearance.
Some Approvais
The house after extended debate
approved the proposal TO cut the
pay of the chancellor Of the Great
er University from $4,000 to ST.
500 a year.
The constitutional amendments
to provide an income tax and to
merge the railroad and equaliza-
ton boards was recommended
for passage by the house.
The senate also faced a heavy
week with a score of measures
to be received from the house on

Walker, Shmkey Bout toCast Light
 On Importance of Bulk to Fighters
By EDWARD J. NEIL IA p Shorts Writer


 NEW YORK, July 22.-The old story of the good little man and the good big one, is being dusted off again for argument and pro found consid eratiOn as Mickey Walker, the overstuffed middle weight prepares to joust fifteen rounds with big Jack Sharkey in Fbbets Field tonight.
 It doesn't seem possible that a chunky sawcd-off little man of Walkers style can whip 200 pounder with the ability, the box ing skill and the punch the belli- cose bluejacket possesses but many of the experts are wondering seri- ously.
 Mickey, twice the conqueror of Johnny Risko, the fellow who punched Sharkey out of title shot with Gene Tunney, has been committing mayhem on the burly sparring partners Jack Kearns lin- ed up for him at his Orangeburg training camp. Sharkey hasn't talk en the match any too seriously.
 Walker has a left hook, one of the finest in the business, that will whip the Boston sailor if anything can. He has the courage of the bulldog, whose fighting style he copies. He can take tremendous punishment and keep coming on for more until his rivals arms are weary from punching and if there is any "kiyi' in the fellow who tackles the Rumson Mick it has to come out sooner or later.
 A fine left hook to the body has beaten Sharkey in the past, but it seems impossible that a warrior weighing only ITO pounds can swing leather enough to halt a Sharkey.
 Walker will be hard to stop in close, but at long range the sailor cutting left hand, his jolting rights to the head and body, his great ad- vantage in height, weight and in reach should baffle the former well terweight and middleweight cham pion.
 But the old timers say the same line Of reasoning was dragged out when little Joe Walcott was getting ready to pla aster heavyweights, when Harry Greb was chasing the big fellows out of the ring, when any number of great little fellows of the past were conceding tens of pounds and walloping burly fellows way above their classes.
 As a fighting machine Mickey, for his pounds and inches, is as great as anything warning today But Sharkey is pretty good, too

 Thomas, in his suit, charges that an editorial in the Times, com menting on the closing of the Home Savings and Loan Associa- ion and Puget Sound Savings and Loan Association, tended to expose the plaintiff to hatred, contempt and shame.
 It is also alleged in the suit that the editorial accused Gov. R. H. Hartley and his associates of unlawful and dishonorable tran sections in connection with the failure of the two associations.

 Delay Matanuska School
 Until the population movement in Matanuska Valley has become more stabilized, the Commissioner said, the Territory will not under take any new building project there. It is true that the present building is too small, but with new settlers moving into the valley and taking up lands, it will not be pos sible to select a strategic location until the trend of settlement takes a definite turn. It is hoped this will be within a year or two. The Department plans to erect a re- gicnal school unit in the valley which will be expanded into a plant giving a full four-year high school course and situated so that it can serve the entire settlement.
 The school population of the val ley has trebled in the past three years and the indications are that next years increase will maintain that rate of growth.
