10000 ANTS

transformers with Governor Landon continue
to complain about personal friction within the top
organization What one eminent Landon authori-
ty said about ii weeks ago, still holds true, namely:
There are 10000 ants on the log and each one
thinks he is guiding the log"
There are lots OF little stories one adviser

advisers and kept them from the candidate the
superior manner Of one foremost adviser has dis
couraged his helpers, etc. etc.
The situations are always prevalent on the in
side of large compaign organizations. They are
present within the Roosevelt inner circle, where
the presidents own secretariat was anything but
one happy family from the beginning.
The effect white house efficiency has not
been noticeable, and the effect the Landon Or
ganization IS probably being over estimated.

FIGURING

The Democrats seem to be better at figures than
the Republicans. Not only have they been able to
calculate the debt increase at So 5000 900 instead
of $4,000 OO0OO0 as carried the treasury state
ment but they can prove from the Digest poll that
Mr.. Roosevelt will win.
Here is the way one of the workers around head
quarters did it rather logically with the Digest re-
suits of a recent week:
LandOn's straw tOtal-438,60 COL.
Total Hoover vote from 80 poed so far-362,
955
LandOn'S straw gain-75, ,646.
RoOSevelt's straw tOtal-282, ,524.
Total Roosevelt 80 straw vote polled far -
290675.
Roosevelt's straw loss-8151.
Now if you take the indicated ratio of LandonS
gain over the Hoover straw vote and apply it to
the 15,816OOO actual votes which Hoover poled in
the 1892 election. you will compute the total indi-
Gated Landon vote at 100000.
Doing the same thing with the Roosevelt loss will
give you an indicated total Of 22,182012 votes for
him this year.
The result is a popular vote lead of 3,165,652
for Roosevelt out of a straw poll which shows him
to be losing 2 to l, and no one can object to the
logic of the deduction.
And so on, far, far into the night

FORD AND
THE FARMER

lllllC llluuSlFlal WOGhcI,
Henry Ford has developed SOFA bean pro-
cessing unit which could be built or pur-
chased by groups of farmers at cost of
$4,000 to $1,000. The farmers he contends,
could process their Beans, extracting the oil
i'm the winter months when there was little
work ON the farm. The oil would be sold for
industrial purposes and they could either
sell their meal or feed it to their livestock.
Something funny about this. 1t doesn't
sound like Mr.. Ford with his mass prOduc-
ton tactics, his straight-lnc assembly units
and the coordination of mining, transport
tatiOn, smelling and manufacturing under
a single management.
Still, lis good thing for the farmers to
have Henry Ford thinking about them, even
if he does insist upon abolishing their dairy
COWS and substituting synthetic milk, but
ter and cheese for dairy products. At heart
Mr. Ford has a deep personal Sclf-intereSt

After doing a good job Of blowing,
which is possible after the fall irriga-
ton, Bingham recommends narrowing
and leveling Immediately In harrow
ing he says it is most effective to use
harrow with teeth long and sharp
enough to cut through from the SUR
face TO the disked top layer that was
turned under by the plow. Follow the
harrow with the box float OF leveler.
then harrow again. If soil blowing is q
problem, the land should be ridged
with spring tooth harrow or similar
implement.
Bingham has several reasons for rec
ommending these five steps BY follow
ing the suggestions In the order named,
all possible benefit from the stubble,
manure and weed growth viii be de-
rived. Thoroughly mixed with the disk,
and resting on the bottom of the fur
row with plenty Of moisture from irri-
cation, decay win be hastened and
more plant food made available. The
benefits of freezing and thawing also
will be obtained.
Other reasons Bingham gives are
that land prepared in this fashion will
hold the moisture put In by the irri-
cation; will readily receive moisture
falling during the winter, and win come
through to spring generally with
enough moisture to dispose Of further
irrigation need.

inaugurated air mail, passenger and ex-
press service between Salt Lake City

Falls, Butte, Helena and Great Falls
Having flown four and one-half mil
lion miles since the commencement of
its service, National Parks Always has
completed SO percent of its scheduled
mileage, an average slightly above that
of the American industry. More than
one-half million pounds of air mail
have been carried on the route during
its operation, according OF company
reports. With the exception of short
period during 1894, during which the
p0Stoffice department Cancelled air mail
contracts, National Parks Always has
maintained continuous air mail service
in its territory. More than % 900 pounds
Of express have been carried by the
company, the largest gains in the ex-
press traffic having been made during
the last three years.
Nearly $4,000 passengers have flown
with National Parks Anyways during
this period, and more than four million
passenger miles have been flown.
The last eight years have seen amaz-
ing developments in the air industry
as a whole and National Parks Always
has stayed abreast with this progress.

FIVE FALL TASKS
FOR IDEALSEEDBED
PLAN APPLIES ONLY TO SUCH
AREAS AS HAVE A SURE
WATER SUPPLY

To have an ideal seeded next
spring with little preparation, more
fertility in the soil and probably
little need for irrigation, five fall
tasks are outlined by g. II. Bing-
ham, extension irrigation special
ist at Montana State college.
Binghams outline is aimed particu-
larly at sugar beet irrigated areas and
Is applicable to medium light to heavy
dependable water supply for fall ir-
rigation. It is not intended for areas
where the soil is gravelly or extremely
light.
The five tasks are 1ertilizing, disking,
irrigation, blowing and narrowing and
leveling.
There are very few areas where the
land doesn't need more fertility, Bing-
ham says, and recommends spreading
manure on the stubble Immediately
after harvest. The manure has the
necessary plant food and is essential
on grain land being prepared for sugar
beets.
Disking is listed next because Bing-
ham believes 1t is the best method Of
thoroughly mixing manure stubble and
weed growth with the top soil. Thor
ough disking will mix up this potential
plant food and when plowed, it win be
turned under and lie Immediately on
top of the furrow bottom.
Good blowing is impossible without
moisture, the specialist says, so he
recommends a good irrigation right
after the ground has been disked.
Flowing at that time viii start the an
nual weeds that may be present, viii
provide the condition that makes de-
cay of the stubble, manure and weed
growth possible and will put the soil
in the proper physical condition for
good and easy seeded preparation.
He recommends blowing eight inches
deep unless the land was plowed deep
er the year before. Ten-inch blowing
appears to be of doubtful value.

AIIGIIST STRESSED
FOR MOVING BEEF
NATIONAL BEEF MONTH. ALL RE.
TAIL OUTLETS JOIN IN PUSH
ING CONSUMPTION

August has been designated as Ma
tiOnal Beef Month, according to r. A.
Phillips, secretary Of the Montana
StOckgrowers association.
All retail meat outlets In the United
States, including chain store systems
and independent dealers, are joining IN
g special concerted effort TO assist the
beef cattle producers on five and one
half million farms in moving the album
dant supply of good quality beef into
channels Of consumption as rapidly as
possible.
Livestock associations, marketin 6
agencies, and the packing industry are
giving their full support to the move
ment, it is said Actively functioning in
the plans are the National Livestock
and Meat board, the Institute Of Amer
tcan Meat Packers, Food and Grocery
Chain Stores of America, Inc. The Ma
tional Association of Retail Meat Deal
ers, and other national, sectional and
state organizations within the livestock
and meat industry.
Proof Of the magnitude OF the beef
supplies which have been coming to
market are statistics for the month OF
June which indicate that the tonnage
Of beef produced during the month was
the largest for any June in history.
Housewives are advised that there is
an abundance of good quality beef
available. Attention is also called to
the fact that, as a result Of modern
cutting methods, never in history has
there been such a wide variety Of beef
cuts available from which the house
wife may make her selection. This in
turn, makes possible a greater variety
Of meat dishes in the daily menu.
Beef has always been in high favor
with the consuming public. Since 1900
the people of the United States have
eaten an average Of 139 pounds OF meat
per person annually, and Of this
amount approximately half was beef,
including veal.
The production Of beef Is one Of the
major Industries of the state. OF Mon
tana. It is one of 20 states which pro-
duce q surplus Of beef. Approximately
81 percent of the beef produced in
Montana must find a market else
where. For this reason National Beer
Month is Of concern to every resident
of the state and should have their
undivided interest and cooperation.

BEET ACREAGE ON
STEADY INCREASE !
DOUBLES IN PAST TEN YEARS;
WHEAT, BARLEY ALSO UP, FED
ERAL FIGURES SHOW

The bureau Of agricultural eco
Monies Of the department of agriculture
in its general revision of crop years
1934-35, gives interesting figures for
Montana.
The sugar beet production increased
during the 1O-year period more than
100000 short tons.
In 1924 the beet acreage was IS, 900
and the production 341 600 short tons,
or an average of 1913 tons per acre
In 1885 the acreage was 1000 and the
production $4,000 short tons, or Ill
tons per acre.
The best beet year for the state was
1888 with an acreage of $1,000 and a
yield Of $4,000 tons, or 1913 tons per
acre.
The yield of all corn in Montana has
varied greatly from year to year. In
1924 the farmers of the state planted
and harvested 401 900 acres, the produc-
ton being 4,53l 600 bushels or Ills
bushels per acre, and in 1885 but $780,
900 acres, with q yield Of 1874, 900
bushels or 1913 per acre.
Corn for grain fell off heavily from
1924 to 1885, the acreage for the two
years being 81 900 and $4,000 respective
", with yields Of l,l34,0Oo and $4,000
bushels.
In 1924 the acreage in all wheat was
3,130,O00 and the yield 90, 900 BUSH
els or 16.1 bushels per acre, and In
1885, 3,434 900 acres with yield of &c.
365, 600 or IO.6 per acre. Winter wheat
increased from an acreage of $50, 900 to
828. 900 and a production Of IL ,230, TOO
to 1884 600 bushels, the yields per acre
being 1863 and 1873. Yields Of durum
and other spring wheats fell off con-
siderably. The production of oats
dropped from 1890 600 bushels in 1924
TO $3.50 600 In 1896; barley increased
from 207O 600 bushels to 1889 900 and
rye from $4,000 bushels to 525,0O0.

Through = fellowship Just made
available by the Montana Wool
growers association, the study of
DOwny Bronze grass smut viii be
continued at Montana State college
/ during the coming year IN an effort
20 determine whether this parasite
can be used effectively to check
the inroads which this grass, com
monty termed military grass or
cheat grass, Is making In the aban-
d0ned farm and range lands Of the
state, n. z. Morris, plant path0-
a0gist &c the Montana agricultural
experiment station, announces
Morris points out that the spread Of
military grass and the damage IL is
doing to the range lands Of the state
is one OF the most serious problems fac
ing Montana's livestock industry The
gravity Of the situation was called to
the attention Of the public in q series
OF meetings held by gtockmen and
woolgrowers in the summer of 1885.
Recently 1t has been suggested that
this pest might be partly controlled
biologically BY the distribution OF bronze
grass smut. This smut Is common on
military grass and is found throughout
the western part Of the United States.
Tt was first collected In Montana in
Gallatin county in 1893 by j. w. BIan-
kenship. Since then specimens have
been collected in various parts Of the
state.
While very little experimental work
has been done with bronze smut, scien-
lists have observed that in certain years
it is very abundant widely distributed
and very destructive to military grass
The year Of 1885 was bad smut year
as we're the years 1923, 1927, 1926, 1920
and 1919. During the intervening years
the smut was not SO abundant, Morris
said. This smut is not the same smut
that affects cereal crops.
The fellowship carries grant of $500
and will make possible further studies
of the suggestion of controlling mill
tary grass through the distribution of
bronze smut. A study Of the problem
was made by Fred F. Parke, graduate
of the state college, and his findings
reported in the thesis he prepared for
his degree in 1885, Morris said. The
fellowship will provide for continuance
of the investigation by graduate stu
dent.
Providing this fellowship has added
one more to the list that have resulted
in marked contributions of a practical
nature to the agricultural industry OF
the state.
While military grass, or Bromus tee
forum as 1t is known scientifically, will
probably never be completely eradi-
Gated, scientists hope that the smut
theory may be one factor in its con-
troll.

not looking their best.
Wilted ruffleS and slightly soiled
blouSeS as well as dull, dingy
shoes will spoil any beauty en-
semble. These are some of the
minor things to correct, and in
most cases the little mistakes are
minor things, but why not avoid
them altogether?
First, the hair must have a cor
rect, nicely-fitted shaping so it
will follow the contour of the head,
and when there is any difficulty
in keeping it in place one must
use brilliantine or even very fine
hair net to train and secure it.
The makeup that has been
worn throughout the day is soiled
and will not be a suitable base for
a new application, so remove it
completely. 1t takes only a few
moments to cleanse the face with
your cream and skin freshener,
and you will be sure the new ap-
plication will add to your charm
and poise.
