a WINTER WHEAT
TYPES ARE BEST
EXTENSION AGRONOMIST URGES
FARMERS TO PLANT ONLY
THESE VARIETIES =,

With winter wheat seeding time
right around the corner, Ralph D.
Mercer, extension agronomist at
Montana State college, urges far
mers to use seed of recommended
varieties that are adapted to Mon
tana conditions. Regarding the
best time to plant, Mercer points
out that experiments conducted at
the North Montana branch of the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
station near Havre indicate that
the period from Sept 20 to Oct. 5 is
the best time to seed winter wheat
in the north central part of the state.
These experiments covering q nine
year period show the average acre
yields for various dates of seeding were
Aug. IS. "a bushels; Sept. /, 1875
bushels; Sept. Is. 1873 bushels: oct. /,
2l.l bushels: Oct is. 1914 bushels; Nov.
/, 1874 bushels
Farmers have their choice OF four
standard varieties Of winter wheat rec
commended for use IN Montana, Mercer
said, and each through careful selec-
ton Is adapted to Montana soil and
climatic conditions These varieties are:
Montana 36--A fully bearded. Turkey
type wheat. It Is best adapted to pro-
duction In the winter wheat sections
Of southern Montana. In that area It
has proved moderately high Yielding
and fairly winter hardy It Is suscep-
tible 70 sinking smut.
Karmot-This variety Is Identical In
appearance to Montana SO. 1t Is adapt
ed to and grown most widely In the
winter wheat sections of central and
north central Montana. In this area it
consistently outyields Montana SO.
Newturk-This Is a beardless variety,
generally adapted 10 all winter wheat
sections of the state It Is Of impor-
lance In commercial production only
when beardless variety Is desired
Yogo-This is a beardleSs variety
similar In appearance to Montana SO
or Karmot but has a more slender and
nodding spike. 1t is superior to other
standard varieties Of winter wheat IN
yielding capacity, winter hardness and
resistance to sinking smut. Yogo Is
adapted to all winter wheat sections
Of the state.

Miners of Pioneer Camps
Had Own Commandment"

The Ten Commandments of the
early day miners in the west were
recently unearthed from the files
of the old Butte Miner. These
commandments, originally printed
IN the Territorial Enterprise at
Virginia City, New, were brought
to Montana by a lawyer named
Baker who settled at Butte in the
'9O'S. They follow:
First commandment: Thou shalt
have no other claim than one.
Second commandment: Thou shalt
not make to thyself any false claim
nor any likeness to a mean man. by

Economic HighHghts

Some of the most potentially
important news often fails to
make the front page. This was
demonstrated short time ago
when the President appointed a
commission to study the subject
of federal career service. In
the words of a team of Washing
ton columnists, Alsop and Kint-
ner, this should <'shine like the
traditional good deed in a naugh-
ty world. Yet, instead of shin
ing, it has passed strangely I'M
noticed.
Bureaucracy, in the view of
most political economists, is the
imposing barrier that stands
square and unnoving in the way
of any movement to reform and
improve the administrative side
of government. And bureaucracy
is the direct result of our long
>entrenched patronage system,
whereby politicians in power pay
off their obligations and indi-
rectly or directly feather their
own nests by appointing their
friends and hackers, and their
sisters and their cousins and their
aunts, to federal jobs. 1t has
been. believed in Washington for
some time that the President has
been thinking about ;Yays and
means of doing something about
tearing down this Barrier, and es-
tablishing an Americanro career
service patterned more or less
after the justly famed British
civil service The appointment of
the commission seems to be
tangible start toward this end.
The job this commission has
been given requires first calibre
minds. And it has them. 1t con-
sists of two members of the SUI
preme Court, Justices Reed and
Frankfurter; the Attorney-Gen-
eraL Frank Murphy; well-known
industrialist, General Wood of
Sears-Roebuck; a distinguished
engineer, Gano Dunn; a former
civil service commissioner, Leo
nard White, and a Treasury ad-
ministrative expert, w. H. Nc

Key West, this charming trop-
zeal town set in the JeWeIled
Florida Keys, continues, to- attract
interesting people who are happy
to pass by the glamorous 1splen3l
doris of Miami Beach and yet who
are looking for a respite from the
cold and damp of February III the
north. IS nC
Among arrivals at the Casa Ma
rina is the poet, Katherine Gar
rison Chaplin, author of several
books, whose recent symphonic
poem, Lament For The Stolen,
with music by Harl Mcdonald,
was performed by the Philadel-
phia Orchestra and a chorus of
$50 women's voices under the di-
rection of Eugene Ormandy, and
has stirred wide interest all over
the country.
Lament For The Stolen, just
published in pamphlet form by
The Centsur Press, Philadelphia,
raises and answers the interest
ing question of how far 9. poet is
justified in writingdJ about the
events of contemporary life. 1t
. is a dramatic poem . Of ,lamenta-
ton and protest, NOT about some
far removed or historical tragedy
but about the ever present posi-
bility of tragedy that hangs over
every American home, the trag-
edy of kidnapping. AS subject
matter, it belongs in the folk his
tory of America; as emotion, it
has overtones that reach beyond
sorrow. 1t opens with the impas-
stoned voice of all women crying:

done in our time

real work of the government is
done by men who hold their jobs
all their working lives, and are
then retired on adequate pen
sionS.. They cannot be- discharg-
ed, save for reasons of dishonesty
or Incompetence, A change in
the party-in-power does not af-
feet them at all, and so they can
afford to be politically non
partisan. Usually they enter the
service as soon as they leave
school or university, and they are
subjected to the most rigorous
training in their respective fields.
Promotions are based so far as it
is humanity possible on ability and
efficiency. They don't get the
publicity-they do get the re-
suits. And some of them, such
as Sir Robert Vansittart of the
Foreign Office, become even
more powerful and more sought
after than cabinet members.
In the United States, we have
used the career system in but one
branch of government-State De-
partment. A young man wishing
to enter the foreign service must
have a better-than-average edu-
cation and background, and must
go through a stiff training in the
generalitieS of diplomacy, After
that he is given a still sitter
training in the particular diplo-
matte field he wishes to enter
Far East, South America, Central
Europe, etc. These are the men
who have kept this government
functioning abroad-and by and
large, say those who know, they
have done splendid job. It's
an open secret that many an
Ambassador has been kept from
making ruinous mistakes by the
advice of some secretary or coun-
llor-of-embaSsy who knew the
ropes and the pitfalls.
In the other departments, as
everyone knows, politics reigns
supreme AZ change in Admins
tration results in an immediate
hegira of the supplanted, and an
advance on Washington by the
victors desiring the spoils. The
inevitable result is waste, ineffi-
cheney, and duplication of effort.
The most brilliant department
head, if his department is filled
with Incompetent or lazy polit-
ical favorites, is obviously sty-
mied.
