The question of split infinitives still
vexes. 1t has only been of recent years
that the highest grammarians permitted
any laxity in the general rule that you
can never split an infintive. Now Phila-
delphia's board of education is aghast.
The president of the board has found
split infinitive in the minutes of the jan
uary meeting. The president claims that
such an error will reflect on the board.
The board, well the board, says it'll behave
in the future.

some will not secure them because they

Even up in Massachusetts the people
are bothered by excessive taxation, par
ticularly that on property. It's the same
everywhere you go. The man who owns
house today bears the brunt of civic in
come. Tax Commissioner Long of the
Bay State is trying to convince the legis-
lators up there that new form of taxa
ton must be found. That's an old story.
We've been talking it for years down
here. In fact Commissioner Hackett has
been holding a series of tax sessions in
Hartford this winter to thresh out the
matter of smoothing tax differences.
They're still going on and will continue
for some time. Our solution of the prob
lem has always been a reduction in gov
ernmental expenses. Well never get any
where until we can cut them to a mini
mum. That means we've got to get rid
of the enormous interest bill we pay an
nually. TO do that we've got to stop
borrowing at the rate we do. You can
discuss sales taxes, etc, until doomsday,
but the situation remains the same. You
are simply shifting the tax burden from
one thing to another. Lower the taxes
on property and you have to assess some
thing else to make up for the lost revenue.
Taxes should be greater today because
we've legalized liquor. Yet you don't find
the property taxes dropping, do you?

Brusque Dealing

A good deal of sub-surface feeling
against the New Deal at Washington may
come from dealers manners. A southern
democrat in the House is quoted as saying
that ''the only two courteous people in the
administration are Roosevelt and Farley"
This is not literally true, as citizens of
both parties and all sections who have
gone to Washington on local business can
testify. Congressman are very sensitive.
There are courteous people in every de-
partment. But there are also, undoubt-
eddy, many brusque ones.
The kindly reference to the President
and his, Politician-in-C Chief may be dupli-
Gated in many private business. 1t is a
common experience for visitors to find,
when they succeed in reaching the big
boss, that he is more genial and demo-
cratic than his subordinates. 1t is wise,
however, whether in private or public
business, to practice courtesy all up and
down the line.

SHORTAGE NOTED

INDIVIDUAL FARMERS URGED TO
SELECT AND SAVE ALL AVAIL
ABLE SEED FOR 1885
MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)

MONTANA STATE COLLEGE)
The shortage Of adapted varities OF
seed corn for next spring appears to
be the most serious phase Of the seed
problem in Montana, Sam Sloan, ex-
tension agronomist, said. Seed corn
has not been included to date In the
emergency seed purchase program
which has been in operation for the
last three months, under the direction
Of the seed conservation committee.
Indications point to increased corn
acreage in the state If suitable seed
supplies are obtainable, according to
the agronomist. There will be a tend
ency toward increased acreage OF all
feed crops, particularly in the drought
area, in an effort to build up feed re-
serves and as a result Of more liberal
ruling relative to the planting OF feed
crops by the adjustment administration
Corn heads the List Of feed crops from
the standpoint Of yield and moisture
requirements over most Of the primary
drought area Of the state.
Limited quantities Of corn suitable
for seed were produced In the irrigated
sections Of the state, Sloan said. Some

in acquiring this seed and will be IN a
position to partially provide for the
need of local growers.
Individual farmers are urged by the
agronomist to select and a v all avail
able seed corn of adapted varities. The
varieties most in demand are Falconer,
Northwestern and Minnesota 2 in the
semi-dent class; Gehu and Dakota
White, in the flint class; and early
strains of Minnesota 10, Brown Coun-
ty. Pioneer and Rustlers, in the dent
class.
Although feed supplies are short on
farms that produced some corn this
season, 1t is the opinion Of the agron:
omist that the price Of adapted seed
next spring will undoubtedly warrant
saving seed and purchasing extra feed
at current prices.

PARASITES
CAUSE Big LOSSES
BOTTLES AND MAGGOTs HAVE
INJURIOUS EFFECT UPON AMI
MAILS; CHEAP REMEDY

Nearly all farmers and horse own
ers know that BOTTLES laying eggs
cause annoyance to horses, keeping
them from fedeing in pasture for.
hours at a time. Horses in harness,
unless protected from flies, often can
not be controlled, men are often in
jured from the striking of the ami
mails, and runaways are not uncOm-
mon. However, few farmers and
horse owners fully realize the injur-
ious effects of the bot Or maggot
stage while attached to the stomach
or intestines. For several months,
during which the bots develop from
an almost microscopic size to about
two-thirds of an inch in length, these
parasites may be doing great harm.
Numerous cases have been observed
in which bots were attached in the
duodenum leading from the stomach, in
such a way as to hinder seriously the
passage OF food, even causing complete
stoppage resulting in death. Very COM
monty several hundred bots may be
found in a single animal.
The attachment of even a few of
these spiny bots to the lining of the
stomach and intestines furnishes points
where inflammatory processes are set
up causing more or less interference
with digestion, and this effect is null
tiplied when the bots are very numer-
GUS. Parasites cause diseases, collie, i'm
FACTION, indigestion and sap strength.
Experiments in the bureau of animal
industry indicate that liquid carbon
disulphide is the most effective agent
available for the destruction OF bots
in the stomach of the horse. Tests with
the so-called mass carbon disulphide
capsule, in which the drug IS absorbed
in a powdered base, indicate that these
capsules are not so effective as are the
capsules containing the liquid drug.
Furthermore, the mass capsule becomes
brittle with age and there is consider
able loss of carbon disulphide.
In certain sections where control
work against bots and worms in horses
has been in progress, many farmers de-
clare that the number of cases of collie
and other digestive disturbances has
been greatly reduced, and that horses
are kept in better flesh on the same
feed than was possible before the con-
troll work was begun. From an eco
nomical point of view, there Is every
reason for giving the treatment proper
ly and thoroughly.
Some other parasites which seriously
damage the vitality of the horse are
palisade worms, stomach worms, large
round worms, cyclicostomes and several
other species. Animals mildly affected
may not show any noticeable symptoms.
Weakness, emaciation, anemia and gen.
eral unthriftincss mark advanced cases.
In heavy infestations animals may suf-
fer intermittent or persistent diarrhea
constipation. Strongyles produce
taxins or poisons which may seriously
injure the horse and sometimes cause
death.
Parasite free horses mean more horse
power, better growth on colts, better
use OF feed, fewer cast of collie, i'm
FACTION and indigestion, and greater
safety to horses. This is a big return
for the small investment.

with its broad leaves, smothers weed
growth.
Under dryland conditions safflower
will yield from 10 to IL bushels an acre,
according to rainfall, and under ir-
rigation it will yield from 80 to 60 BUSH
els an acre. This crop can be satisfac-
torily harvested with a combine, using
wheat or barley sleeves.
Chemical ingredients are similar to
linseed oil, except for the numbers and,
in this respect, may be classed among
semidrying oils, although superior to
others of that type because its iodine
numbers vary from 125 to $50, depend
ing on climatic factors. Some tests
have shown that this drying oil will
improve some types of paint and var
nish over the use of linseed oil. BY OBJ
| serving the advance of drying, it ap-
peared that the oil in the first "a hours
dries slower than linseed oil but in the
next "a hours it dries faster and is less
sticky.
A further test shows that by adding
safflower to linseed oil a better film is
obtained. Another point is that the oil
shows the same resistance to water and
heat as inseed oil.
In the spring OF 1881 it was determin-
ed by a two and a half crushing test at
Minneapolis that it is not necessary
to hull the seed before crushing. Until
this time it was thought hulling was
necessary to get the oil. The oil runs
about % to % percent, according to the
quality of the seed.
The money value of this seed will
depend on the price of drying oils and
oil cakes. With the high yield of SAT-
flower, it is possible to produce more oil
an acre than from flax so the crop
would be fully as profitable a. flax and
much surer.
Safflower should fill the gap between
the present production and consump-
ton Of linseed oil and the propagation
of safflower would not interfere with
flax production in the United States,
since about half of the linseed oil used
is imported.
As a farm crop, safflower requires
no changes in the farm methods and
requires no different machinery. That
safflower deserves a wider distribution
is evident by the following facts:
It thrives well through hot weather.
is resistent to plant diseases, it stands
frost, the yield is high, it does not shat
ter, it is resistant to lodging, it does not
discolor, it keeps weeds down, it is easy
to harvest and it is a crop that will
supplant a shortage in paint and var
nish drying oils.
-Four carloads of the seed grown by
MI, Rehbein under irrigation have been
shipped to the William o. Goodrich
company of Milwaukee, Wis, a division
of the Archer-D aniels-Midland COM
pany.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1934-11-16

A new crop being grown in the Sid
ney section in dry land and irrigated
sections is safflower, an oil producing
plant.
Alfred Rehbein, who lives in Richland
county near Lambert, is a pioneer in
the furthering of this crop, not only for
Montana but for the nation at large.
Mr.. Rehbein started with small plots
on his dryland farm and later built up
large fields. Last year he and A. H.
Phillips of Fairview grew a field of
safflower under irrigation which pro-
duced satisfactorily.
Frank Rabak Of the bureau of plant
industry, Washington, D. c., has con-
plant as to the qualities Of the oil as a
dryer for paints and also as to the
value of the pulp from the seed. His
findings were satisfactory and the con-
clusion of the department., according to
Mr.. Rabak, is that the oil from the
plant could be used to an advantage
by industries using drying oils, such
as paint, varnish and oilcloth.
Safflower is a subtropical plant. It
is a native to India but its cultivation
has been extended to East Africa,
Egypt, Turkestan and Caucasus. Guilt
walton trials have been conducted in
the temperate climate zone Of the Un-
tied States for some years.
The bureau of plant industry last
year conducted field tests with SAT-
flower as an oil seed crop, for the pro-
duction of drying oils at 16 expert
.@~A4 ck~%s~-a- ~ fH1 r0~fhrvncf mid
die west and south. At present 1t is
grown on a large scale in Russia. It is
well adapted 10 agricultural conditions
of the small grain belt of the northwest
but a cold, damp climate is u~nfavorable
to its growth.
The seed is similar to that of the
sunflower in that it has a thick husk,
which encloses the oil bearing kernel.
The seed is white or pale cream in color
and weighs from AZ to 48 pounds a
bushel. From 40 to As pounds OF seed
are used on each acre for planting.
Planting may be done early in the
spring, since the plant Is hardy and
more resistent to frost than flax. If
soil conditions and temperatures are
right, the plant will appear in about
10 days and in about eight weeks
thereafter the plant will start to branch
out and bloom in colors Of red or golden
yellow. Blooming continues for about
four weeks, when the seed begins to
form so close in the head that they
could stand all winter without discolor-
ing OR Smelling out.
