For the War Finance Committee
for Montana and on behalf of the
United States Treasury and of our
Government, we want to thank the
people of Montana for their response
in the Third War Loan drive. The
chairpaen and committees of every
county in Montana have worked in
tensively. Thousands of patriotic
men and women have spent long
hours and days in an unselfish con-
tribution to this vitality important
war activity in the solicitation and
sale of war bonds. Monana has met
and exceeded its quota of IS mil
lion dollars. Remittances in today
are still being tabulated but the
total which will be in today and
credited to the account of the treas
urer of the United States is over 36
million dollars. Many sales have
been made for which remittances
will not be in for days. We are
confident every county in Montana
will meet its quota We pay tribute
to the people of Montana who have
met this call Of their country to
nrovide funds to carry us to victory.

Science of Hydroponics
Speeds Victory Gardens

Old Mother Nature has been stream
lined this spring to help win the food
war on the home front.
With recent discovery in the sci
ence of growing vegetables in a prep
aration containing all the necessary
nutrient elements, Victory gardeners
may now shorten natures growing
season by as much as 80 days.
Known as hydroponics, this science
has been perfected to point whereby
gardeners can now get head start in
growing their cabbage, lettuce, green
peppers and other vegetables merely
by adding water to a specially-pre-
pared soilless plant ball containing
seeds, spagnum moss, vitamins and
imum of care, as many as so vegetable
slips can be grown from one ball with
out the necessity of using flats"
This new development is the result
of years of experiment on the part of
a Barryton, Mich, organization which
has in the past devised similar meth
DDS of raising flowers
Plant balls are approximately three
inches in diameter, which swell to
nearly six inches when moistened.
They should be placed in warm spot,
preferably window sill, watered once
day to keep moist not saturated.
The seeds contained in each transplant
ball begin to grow within seven to ten
days, reaching sufficient maturity to
be transplanted to the garden within
80 days.
When ready for the outdoor garden,
each slip should be carefully sepa-
rated from the moss and transplanted
to the garden, where it will grow and
produce vegetables through the season.

Most Envied Man
Butter Detective
Expert Grader Can Judge
Feed Cows Have Eaten.

It may be news to even the farm
folks that the conditions under which
they milk their cows and the care they
give the resulting product can be told
Immediately by an individual when he
samples a portion of butter churned
from the cream produced.
Where the milk or cream has been
stored and what the cows have been
eating are but few of the odd bits of
information that R. E. Eldred, rated
as one of the country's best butter
graders, can usually detect by putting
a pat of butter into his mouth.
Mr.. Eldred is chief butter inspector
for the Atlantic and Pacific Tea COM
pany's Chicago warehouse. Actually,
he doesn't sample each pound-nor
does he swallow any of the butter he
is inspecting. A three-ounce sample,
taken by metal trier from a fiber
box or wooden tub with weights rang
ing from 54 to GA pounds, is sufficient.
An inspector can, in most instances,
tell by tasting and smelling a sample
of butter under what conditions the
cream was produced and handled.
Quality of the finished product is
largely determined by the perfection
of the raw material and care given
the processing operations.
So acute is graders sense of taste
and aroma that he can, with fairly
consistent degree of accuracy, deter
mine by the feed flavors the territory
or origin of the butter Skunkweed in
Oklahoma, sageweed in the Dakotas,
peppergrass in Nebraska, onion or gar
lie in Missouri, and the heavy feeding
of alfalfa to cattle on the west coast,
each imparts its own distinctive char
acteristics, although they are usually
too faint to anyone but an expert

Canada Patterns
Taxon RumIPIan

OTTAWA, March 8 (INS).-A
{ n a d / al pay-as-you-earn tax
law, containing most of the fea-
lures of the Ruml plan, was in
|cluded today in the budget SUBJ
United to the House of Commons
by Finance Minister j. L. Illsley.
The Canadian "Ruml plan"
places personal income tax pay
|ments on a pay-as-you-go basis
as from Jan. /, 1943. 1t forgives
so per cent of the 1912 tax
liability of individuals on earned
Income and on $1,000 of invest
Iment income. Fifty per cent OF
1912 tax liability on investment
incomes above $1,000 is deferred
until death.
No major changes were made
lin the personal income tax rates
for Canadians. Under the new
law, however, naval, army and
lair officers of the Canadian
forces, formerly exempt from In
come taxes if serving outside
Canada, must pay one-half Of what
they would pay if serving in
Canada, when assigned TO posts
Ioutside Canada, but in the Vest
Iern Hemisphere.
An exception is made for of
Ulcers whose duties are "afloat"
