Valley Soil Moisture Content
Is Slightly Below Average

Depth of moisture on farm lands
in Valley county, one factor that
helps insure a successful crop, APP
pears to be a little below average
County Agent James K. McGibney
reported this week.
While adequate soil moisture in
the spring is no guarantee of a good
crop on dry land, nevertheless it is
al ace in the hole" that appears
to have an effect on yields, whether
the growing season is dry or wet.
This is indicated in carefully kept
records at the Northern Montana
agricultural experiment station neal
Havre, the county agent said. They
further indicate the value of sum-
mel fallow which catches and saves
more moisture and invariably pro-
vides a higher yield the following
year than any other tillage practice
does.
A greater depth of soil moisture
at seeding time, the records kept on
many types of crops show, has
brought a higher average yield.
When moisture was 3 feet at seed
ing time, there has been a record of
only n complete crop failure, in
1886.
Measurements and tests made by
MI. McGibney this spring at wide
spread points show the following
inches of moisture in stubble and
in summer falloW:

Corn Called
substitute
for EalloW

BOZEMAN-With corn planting
season being May l to Is in Mon
tana, Ralph d. Mercer, extension
agronomist at Montana State college,
points out that corn not only makes
one of the best feed crops but as a
substitute for summer fallow in the
eastern part of the state it is one of
the best practices that can be re-
commended.
In planting corn, two methods
may be used, Mercer said. One is
surface planting by checking or
drilling, and the other is by listing.
Both methods have their place and
both have given very good results.
Check row corn a be kept much
cleaner because it can be cultivated
both ways, and drilled corn pro-
duces well where the stand is not
too thick. Listed corn ordinarily
gets off to a slower start than sur
face planted corn, but there is little
difference in maturing date.
Spring plowed land is preferred
for surface planted corn, Mercer
said. Many growers duckfoot the
land prior to blowing to start weed
growth and to lessen evaporation.
The land should be plowed and
planted as oon as possible after
duckfooting. 1t is best to have a
firm seeded with a cloddy surface
mulch.

Brake Testing
Campaign
Under Way
Bv ES l..

BY CHARLES l.. SHERIDAN
Supervisor. Montana Highway Patrol
For several months there has peen
real concern on the part OF all tnoSe
familiar with the situation regarding
the nations transportation. There
have been no new cars or rucKS
produced for civilian use since PEAR
Harbor, and even the best OF the
nations motor transportation Is
becoming aged.
We are down very near TO the
danger point now, yet, despite tMS
fact, our cars and trucks are StlIl
going into the junk heap at the rate
of IT'S, 900 a month.
So serious is the situation that the
president and the office of defense
transportation have called upon all
police and traffic organizations IN
the country to redouble their effortS
toward conservation of our remain
ing motor equipment. Even II the
European war should end in the next
few days, it would be over W years
before there would be new cars LOT
all the people who need them.
In compliance with the request
of the President, the International
Association of Chiefs OF Police mas
decided upon a NATIONWIDE brake
emphasis campaign between April
is and June /. The sheriffs' police
and other peace officers of the
whole country have been requested
to participate in this campaign OF
public education. in which the main
emphasis will be placed upon a
check of the brakes of all cars that
are stopped for any other purpose.
The emphasis is being placed upon
brakes because they are the greatest
safety factor on any car. A simple
check that only takes a few seconds
has been devised and. with each
check, the driver of the car viii be
given a pamphlet describing the
test and explaining other methods OF
preserving the usefulness of the car.
All Montana peace officers are CO.
operating in this campaign and the
driving public is sincerely urged to
lend its cooperation.

Shortage Of Pulp
Brings Further
Paper Quota Cuts

Allegations of wood pulp to paper
and paperboard mills for the second
quarter Of 1945 will result in reduc-

able in certain civilian items such
as printing papers, wrapping paper,
paper bags. household towels and
napkins and facial tissues, an

These reductions we're found
necessary in order to overcome the
existing pulp shortage and meet eS-

United States newspaper publishers
are required Immediately to reduce
by six percent their April orders on
all paper mills in Canada, the United
States and Newfoundland in order
to balance newsprint demands with
available supplies.

Catfish can't use that fertile mud to raise corn,
and that's too bad. Because right now, America
needs all the corn it can produce. There's no need
to let catfish have any part of your farm. Your top
soil can be saved. Soil conservation practices hold
the raindrops where they fall, control water erosion,
stop Outlying, stabilize the soil. The Agricultural
Extension Service of your State University will be
glad to help you work out a special program to fit
your farm.
Through soil conservation practices fertility is
maintained, crops make better yields, carrying capac-
ity of pastures is increased, more and cheaper feeds
are provided for livestock. All this means more
money in the farmers pocket. Swift & Company
