ON TIE FARM FRONT
" AEbeEy from the
yAdkuewhj 6ttaaaas JeNste

As spring weather breaks ov-
er the state and farmers get in
to the fields, G. H. Bingham, ex-
tension irrigation specialist at
Montana State college, points
out the value of giving come at
tention to irrigated pastures.
Going over the pasture in the
spring with a harrow, he said,
is a good practice because it
will break up and spread the
manure left from the past sea-
sons grazing. If more fertilizer
is needed the pasture should be
top dressed with manure at the
rate of 10 to IS loads per acre
and followed by narrowing. Us
ually irrigated pastures need
nitrogen and manure is the
cheapest source, he said.
In areas known to be defic-
lent In phosphate, this lack may
be offset by applying ammonium
phosphate at the rate of 200 to
300 pounds per acre. If so de-
sired, the commercial fertilizer
may be mixed with manure and
both applied at the same time.
With maximum milk produc-

production record.
BY using a good bull, saving

We cannot escape even if we

not only the people of our own
country, but of all the United
Nations, to say nothing IF the
struggling, suffering peoples of
the occupied countries. We need,
therefore, reliable information

this book supplies a collection of
the actual texts of speeches ard
agreements made by and be-

timated at ITS pounds whereas
a good herd should average 500
pounds. Figuring butterfat at
60 cents per pound, the average
Montana cow will have a yearly
income of sos while the good
cows will show a return Of $3.50
or more. The good COWS will eat
probably $40 to SIS more feed
while their overhead expense Is
about the same as for poor COWS.
After the difference in feed
costs Is deducted the good cows
will still show a return of $50

Behind The Scenes
American Business
By John Cruddock

Cost of the war is now a
quarter of a billion dollars a day
according to figures announced
by the Treasury Department in
setting June IL for the $4,000
100000 Fifth War Loan drive.
astronomical sums gener-
ate in the minds of some folks
fear of a devastating price in
flation. Yet this fear is largely
unwarranted, in the opinion Of
many leading observers of the
economic scene, since it's based
on but one factor, the monetary.
Actually, available records indi-
cate that the great mutations
of history have had their origin
in a shortage of goods. And once
the war Is over we shouldn't
have to worry about that in
America because of the tremen-
dous productive capacity.
On the other hand, to BE re-
alistic and to face facts, some
postwar continuation of the
upward price trend seems to be
in the cards. A 10 to 20 per cent
rise over current levels is the
estimate made in one recent
study by an economic research
committee of Westinghouse. This
is in accord with repeated pre-
dictions that durable consumer
goods automobiles, refrigera-
tors, etc., whose production has
been curbed since the start 81
the war will have to sell higher
in order to cover increased labor
and material costs. Those hold
ing this view point cut that
prices after World War I rose
from IS to 80 per cent from
1919 to 1920, and averaged ov-
er the 1929 period more thar
40 per cent above the pre-wal
level
JOB CLUE-Among the bis
questions confronting postwar
planners is the number Of work
ers for whom jobs must be pro-
vided. One clue is seen in a sur
vey conducted among $4,000 en-
ployeeS of Bendix Aviation cor.
poration. It disclosed that the
great majority of war worker.
like their jobs and want to KEEP
them after the war. In announc.
ing results of the survey, E. r
Breech, president, emphasized
that pre-war employment al
Bendix totaled less than 10,O0(
workers, so that the replies may
be taken as rejecting the typi'
cal attitude of the new worker
in plants devoted to war pro
duction.
Interest of workers in thei
new jobs was brought out in tn
fact that Alb per cent of tn
employees replying do not wan

High School Problem
Cases Cut by War,
Advisory Unit Told

That the war has had the effect
of reducing rather than increasing
problem cases" among Washing
tons senior high school students
was indicated last night by reports
from local principals before the
Board OF Education's Advisory Com
mittee on Wartime and Postwar
Problems of the Child.
John F. Brougher, principal Of
Coolidge High School, told the COM
mittee that attendance in his school,
as well as In other schools, is better
this year than at previous sessions.
Adding there seemed to be fewer
problem cases" at Coolidge, he at
tributed it in part to the fact that
many overage students have either
gone into the armed services or OBJ
tanned jobs.

"The war has provided a safety
valve through which those who were
unadjusted might escape" he ex-
planned. This is in marked con-
trast with conditions in depression
years" he added, when those who
became unhappy in school were
compelled to remain"
OF an enrolment of over 1,10O at
his school, he said, over 400 students
are working.
DR.. John w. Rustin, pastor of
Mount Vernon Place Methodist
Church said reports seemed to bear
out his theory that the juvenile de-
linquency problem is in the age
group Of from to IA.
II have always contended," he
added, that If you gave a child con-
structive things to do, you wouldn't
have to worry about the negative
side"
School Services Told.
How the high schools are offering
services in the field OF recreation,
job counseling and preparation of
boys soon to be included under
selective services was brought out
in other reports to the committee.
Pointing out that high school
boys seem to have found a new
meaning and purpose" in school
as a result Of the war, Capt. Rhoda
Milliken, chief of the Police Wom-
ems Bureau, asked II 1t would be
possible to extend the same benefit
to girls.
In response, Miss May P. Brad
shaw, Roosevelt High School prin-
cipal, said that her school has an
organization of about 80 girls serv-
ing regularly in hospitals and that
she believed many later would 60
into nursing. She also attributed
formation of a girls cadet corps at
Roosevelt to the influence of the
WACS and WAVES.
Norman J. Nelson, Wilson High
School principal, commented, how
ever, that some parents objected to
the inclusion of any war projects
in the school program.
Absences and Truancy.
An attempt to clarity problems re-
lating to absences and truancy was
presented to the committee in the
form Of a report by Miss Margaret
Pepper, principal of Lafayette School
and president of the Education AS
sociation of the District.
Miss Pepper explained that con-
ferences between principals and Of
f1cers of the Juvenile Court and
school attendance Office had brought
out the necessity of closer co-opera-
ton between the three groups.
Reporting confusion on the mean
ing Of the terms, "truancy" and "il-
legal absences" as used by the three
groups, she recommended that the
