coming-out party at the Zoo yes
terday.

bear, took her two cubs on tour
Of their new home at the rear Of
the lion house and then proceeded
to give them ducking in the small
pool in front of the exclusive cage

gaudy as the public bow of Ra-
mona's two hybrid cubs last week.

tors were on hand to see Molly put
her little ones through the PAGES.
The little fellows bounced about
on their hind feet, their noses
pointed skyward, when the thunder
doomed overhead and rain began
to fall. 1t was all new to them.

been unethical in the proceedings.

the reply of hospital officials to
testimony given last week that a
patient had waited six days for an
operation at Gallinger and had then
been transferred to Emergency Hos
pital for the operation. In their
answer the hospital authorities said
it was not an urgent or emergency
case, that the lapse of time vas
due to a difference of opinion oe-
TWEEN two groups of doctors, and
that it was decided the patient
could get better treatment from q
specialist at Emergency Hospital.
The subcommittee also was told the
patient has not yet undergone the

SAYS WHEAT GRASS
SHOULD BE al

Because fall is the best time
to seed crested WheatgraSs in
Montana, farmers and ranchers
should be making arrangements
now for a seed supply, accord
ing to Ralph D. Mercer, extern
sion agronomiSt at Montana
State college.
Early fan seeding--from now
until September 15-on well
prepared, firm seedbeds free
IRON weeds is recommended for
western Montana where fall
, moisture conditions r more
certain. The seed should be
drilled in and covered in the
usual manner and there should
be sufficient moisture to permit
rapid termination.
Mercer recommends late fall
September Is to Dec. 10
for seeding on abandoned crop
or stubblc land in all parts OF
the state. Such seeding requires
no seeded preparation and the
seeding may be done with 4
single disc or furrOW drill in the
thiStles or stubble. Drag chains
or a plank should not be pulled
behind the drill, Mercer SAID,
because the seed should be lett
uncovered. Wind and water ero-
zion will furnish enough cover
to start termination.
Shallow planting is essential
when crested Wheatgrass IS
planted early in the fall on a
veil prepared seeded, Mercer
added. Onc-half inch IS the
maximum depth for best re-
suits.
