WHEAT STORAGE
BECOMES PROBLEM

With a serious wheat storage
problem looming up and with
prospects bright for a larger
crop than was harvested last
year in Montana, farmers are
urged by Montana Extension
service officials to make ar
rangements now for the hand
ling of their 1941 crop.
"A number of factors enter in
to this years harvest picture,
they say. One is the nations
huge supply of wheat on hand.
This will complicate terminal
storage. Another factor is trans
portation. While there will be
enough railroad cars to handle
the movement of grain, these
cars will have to be loaded and
unloaded promptly because de-
Tense needs are making heavy
demands on railroad facilities.
Then there is a third factor
the demand of the defense in
dustries for materials of all
kinds. This means that material
needed by farmers for the con-
struction of farm storage facil-
tiles should be ordered early.
Waiting until harvest time to
put up granaries may prove
costly because by then it might
not be possible to get needed
materials promptly.
In view of this situation, far
mers who will need additional
storage on their farms will be
wise in making arrangements
now to insure having the stor-
age when it is needed, extension
officials say. Others who do not
need storage at home would be
foresighted in contracting their
local elevators early in regard
to handling their wheat.

Winter Founders Are
Tagged in Long Island


New York - Additional tag
ging of winter founders and
preparation for continued OBJ
servations on the lobster and
the fluke fisheries have consti-
tuted the principal recent &C
tlvities in the cooperative study
of the marine fishery problems
with Suffolk and Nassau coun-
ties of Long Island and the Fish
and Wild1ife service, United
States Department of the In
terror.
About 300 winter founders,
obtained from the catches of
fyke nets which operate in
Shinnecock Bay during the late
winter and early spring season,
were recently tagged and re-
leased in the bay. It is expected
that recaptures of these tagged
fish will disclose information
on the migration of winter
founders to and from SHINE
cock Bay and also help to de-
termine whether the size limit
on winter founders in the area
should be increased from 6 to
10 inches.
During April, about 100 winter
founders were tagged in West
ern Long Island Sound. Sea
scouts from ship II of the Min
cola unit furnished a boat and
assisted with the details of tag
ging.
The Shinnecock and Western
Long Island sound regions are
important in the winter floun-
der problem because it was rec
commended in November 1910
that the size limit on winter
founders should be increased
from 6 to 10 inches in all Long
Island waters, with the eXcep-
ton of Shinnecock bay and
Western Long Island sound. The
present New York state legal
limit of six inches will be re-
tanned in these two areas until
additional information is Sc
cured to determine whether or
not it will be profitable to in
crease the size limit.
