Kill Weeds Just
At Time They Are
Breaking Ground

BOZFMAN-Since the best time
TO DESTROY weeds is when they are
Just breaking through the soil, Vic
tory gardeners are reminded by E.
E. Isaac, extension horticulturistS at
Montana State college, to keep a
close eye on their gardens so that
this important job can be done al
the right time.
If weeds are neglected and al
lowed to become large. deep Guilt
vation becomes necessary, Isaac
said. Also weeds rob the growing
garden crop of moisture and plant
food. Both of these losses can be
reduced by early cultivation to con-
troll weeds.
However, Isaac adds. there is no
Justification in working the ground
when there r no weeds and when
a good soil mulch has been estab-
lished. Dryland gardens in partlc-
uIar may be harmed by unnecessary
cultivation which cuts roots and
brings moist soil to the surface. Un-
der irrigation, and especially with
heavy soils, it is necessary to Guilt
vate frequently to maintain a soil
mulch.
Shallow cultivation is preferable
for all vegetables. Isaac said, be-
cause deep cultivation may destroy
many Of lne roots of the crop plants,
especially after the plants have
reached considerable size. A deep,
mellow soil is best for vegetables
but the time to work the soil deeply
is when the seeded is prepared.

Railroads are anticipating fur
Their increases in traffic before the
peak of wartime requirements fol
transportation is reached, F. j. Ga
vim. president of the Great Nor
thern. advised stockholders in the
company's annual report, which has
Just been released.
The railroads immediate prob
lem, he said, is that of replacing
equipment that is wearing out, and
of obtaining necessary materials,
supplies and manpower. This prob
lem, he warned, is continually be-
coming more critical.
During the past year." Mr.. Ga
vim said. the railroad industry has
COMPOUNDED its critics and demon
strated an ability to handle an alb
normally large volume of war traf-
fic with the same dependability as
in times of peace.
Discharged Obligations
1T is noteworthy that the rail-
road industry, depending wholly up
on its own resources, rigidly reg
ulated and heavily taxed, has dis
charged its Obligations so success
fully TO a nation at war"
The railroads, he said, had been
able TO handle the increased traffic
incident to the war while meeting
civilian requirements for freight and
passenger transportation, and in adj
dit.on had taken over the traffic
which formerly moved by inter-
coast steamships.
The Great Northern's freight traf-
fic in 1912 was 65 percent more
than in 1929, and was handled with
300 fewer locomotives and 5000 few
er freight cars. Mr.. Gavin attribut-
ed a large measure of the credit
for this achievement to the CO.
operation of shippers, the armed
forces and the office of defense
transportation.
The railroads capacity has been
increased by expediting repairs,
undermining equipment, adopting
numerous conservation measures, by
the fine cooperation of employees
generally, and the extraordinary ef-
of many of them"
Net Income Highest
Despite advancing costs of ma
,erials and supplies, higher wages
md taxes, the railroads net income.

that this has helped the Great

reduced its net funded indebtedness
almost $4,000, 900, and spent s14.-
275,0 for additions and improve
ments. Mr.. Gavin, however, stressed
the fact that it had not been pos
sible to u all of the equipment
and materials needed.
Power requirements, he said. were
especially needed to continue to
meet the unprecedented demand for
wartime transportation. The rail-
road has had thirteen ,4OO-horse-
power road freight diesel locomo-
tives on order, some for two years.
Rate reductions granted the gov
eminent for transportation of troops
and freight, which were made for
the most part to equalize land grant
rates of competitive railroads.

tailed $50, 1877 $40, which was equiv
alent to about 1872 cents out of each
dollar of revenue earned.

THE FEEDER ROADS
Great Falls Tribune)

Let all rural areas remember that the highway debenture bill. which
will be voted on in June, is designed to tie in with the federal postwar
highway program now being considered in congress. That national meas
ue will give liberal subsidies to both the main highway systems and the
rural feeder roads.
Fifty percent of the program, if it is adopted. will go into the
building of rural and urban feeder roads that give access to the main
highway network. The rural population of Montana have an immense
interest in the expanded feeder road program that is proposed.
And it is well to remember also that under the plan proposed in
congress for the three-year construction job after the war, the federal
portion of the cost will be rs percent plus an allowance for public land
mileage. Montanas share, if we vote the debentures to create a fund
for matching federal money, will be about 2l57 percent of the cost of
projects in this state.
we will get a much bigger amount of mileage for our S8OO0O 900 then
than we have in the past for a like amount. We just can't afford to
ignore the federal postwar road program.

I'VE feel deeply hurt to think you
would let us boys overseas down
lust what do you think would hap
pen to this country if the boys over
seas would sit down and quit fight
ing. because they just make $50 a
month? We need more fighting
equipment. What do Americans
want. more money now and slavery
later, or less money and freedom?
Just think how some Of your sons
