The majority looks upon the minority quite as
they something different from the herd-and they
don't like that Minorie for their part often have
chip their shoulder When banded together for self
protection they become powerful pressure force which
is often irritating to the majority And much frequently

Gives Hints on
Good Gorden
Practices

BOHEMIAN. - Because proper
seeded preparation is one of the
keys to successful gardening, E. E,
Isaac, extension horticulturist at
Montana State college, offers 1943
Victory Gardeners few suggestions
on how to do this important job.
Before the garden is ploWed in
the spring a liberal amount of we'll
rotted barnyard manure should be
applied and plowed into the soil.
Pillow to a depth of 8 to 10 inches,
being careful not to turn up too
much subsoil. If the garden is on
dry land it is best to apply manure
just before blowing time of the sea-
son the land is to be in fallow.
Manure keeps the soil mellow and
adds such food elements as nitrogen,
phosphate and potash. If the soil
is deficient in phosphate an applica-
ton Of treble superphosphate is
desirable.
Immediately after spring plow-
ing pulverize and firm the seeded
before the surface has had time to
become dry and cloddy A good firm
seeded is required because plants
do not root and grow well in loose
soil. The disk harrow is a good
tool for pulverizing and firming
the seeded beneath the surface,
while the spiketooth harrow will aid
in leveling and pulverizing the sur
face. For smoothing the surface it
is hard to ffnd-~s better implement
than the homemade plank drag.
While spring blowing of the gar
den will be practiced more generally
this year because many people are
putting in gardens for the first time,
IN general fall blowing is more de-
sirable because land turned over
at that time and left rough will be
in better physical condition the fol-
lowing spring. This is especially
true on the heavier soils where wa
ter is not available for irrigation In
planning the garden site in dryland
areas it is good practice to allow for
twice as much land as will be need
ed so that one-half can be fallowed
each year.

Says More
Beans Will
Be Needed

BOHEMIAN Never before have
beans been so urgently needed and
never before have they been of such
Importance as a wartime crop, all
of which means that every farm
or who can possibly do so must
devote some acreage to this crop if
the state is to achieve its 1913 goal
of $4,000 acres, says Ralph D. Mer-
Ger, extension agronomist at Mon
tana State college
The fact that the 1913 bean acre
age goal is $4,000 acres more than
the peak production year of 1929
and 10000 acres larger than the
1912 acreage indicates the import
ance of this crop in the wartime
food production program.
Mercer points out that beans are
in such big demand because OF, a
number of reasons. In the first
place tremendous quantities are
needed for shipment overseas to our
armed forces and to our allies. Rus
STA alone can use all the beans We
can send because beans are depend

reason beans are urgently desired is
the fact that they store and ship
easily and with little loss.

bean production on irrigated and

More Meat
From Re-seeded
Montana Ranges

MISSOULA, March 15.-The DOS
slbility of greater meat production
from depleted Montana ranges
through reseeding is pointed out in
a new publication, "Reseeding to
Increase the Yield of Montana
Range Lands just issued by the u.
S. Department of Agriculture's For
est Service as Farmers Bulletin
No. 1924. The pamphlet was pre-
pared by L. R. Short, and sum-
marzies information collected by
him while working for the North
ern Rocky Mountain Forest and
Range Experiment Station out Of
Missoula.
This publication helps to take
the mystery out Of grass culture, :
says Leon HURT, in charge of range
research in the Experiment Station
1T is intended purely as a reseed-
ing guide for depleted Montana
ranges, or those of similar climatic
and growing conditions, and tells
when and how reseeding may be
successfully done with machinery
and equipment available on most
ranches.
Many acres of depleted range
land have already been reseeded as
a result of recent experiments
which developed practical but cheap
methods. In these experiments the
Montana Agricultural Experiment
Station and the U. S. Range Live
stock Experiment Station of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry at Miles
City cooperated with the Forest
Service.
Grazing trials at Miles City and
other stations have shown greater
grazing capacity and total livestock
gains two or three times more per
acre on range reseeded to crest I'd
wheat grass than nearby native
range Such increased production
and its high value for early lamb
ing and calving pastures have led
range men to reseed more than
half million acres in Montana
during the last four years. But
several times this area remains in
need of reseeding and could be put
to work producing meat hides and
wool for the war effort.
Reseeding can be done in the
spring before other field work be-
comes urgent. Then labor is easier
to get than later in the year. Even
with the present manpower short
age substantial amount Of reseed-
ing could be accomplished by using
the cheap but efficient methods
outlined in this bulletin. Soil mois-
ture is favorable over most of the
state for early seeding this year,
and the seed is available"
The bulletin may be obtained free
from the nearest county extension
agent, forest supervisor, or the re-
gional forester at Missoula.

precious tires. They also play
havoc with wheel alignment, and
if that is not corrected it will mean
excess wear on your tires long after

Another Soldier
Beaten In Dixie
By Two Officers

JACKSON. Miss. (ANP)-The

ouent arrest OF an unidentified Ne
gro soldier at the Tri-Stste Bus sta
ton here early Tuesday created a
brief reign OF terror among Negro
passengers in the waiting room.
many Of whom made their way out
while the incident was taking place
According 10 witnesses the soldier
was at the ticket window when
someone in the ticket office threw
a rubber stamp which hit a woman
passenger in the waiting room. Per-
sons in the room reported that they
had heard no argument al the
window and that their attention
was not attracted until the rubber
stamp had been thrown. Immed.
lately following the throwing. two
o ficcrS came in and approached
the soldier. beating him about the
head with their clubs. Bleeding
freely. tho soldier was taken out OF
the waiting room in custody OF the
officers.
Shortly after the incident mill
tary policemen from the Jackson
Air base arrived and began an in
vestigation Of the incident. The
bleeding soldier was turned over
10 them.
