SUGGESTS EARLY CUTTING

With haying time not far off,
]. o. Tretsven, extension dairy
specialist at Montana State
college, again calls the atten-
ton of dairymen to the advan-
tages of cutting alfalfa early
for hay.
Early cut alfalfa starting
when the blossoms first ap-
pear-not only produces a big
ger tonnage of hay but also
hay that is high in protein and
other valuable nutrients, he
said. Delaying alfalfa cutting
until it is well into the bloom
period means a marked decrease
in protein content.
Tretsven also stressed the
Importance of handling the
hay in such a manner as to
save as many leaves as possible.
Tests have proved, he said, that
alfalfa leaves contain nearly
three times as much protein
as the stems. The leaves are al
SO richer in carbohydrates, fats
and minerals and contain four
fifths of the vitamin A factor
of the plant.
While early cutting of alfal-
ia is necessary for high quality
hay, it is also important to cut
clovers and timothy early if
the most nutrients are to be
saved, he said. Tretsven sug-
gests the following times to cut
hay: Alfalfa, when blossoms
first appear; red clover, when
in one-half bloom; white sweet
clover. shortly before blossoms
appear; yellow sweet clover,
when first blossoms appear;
timothy, in early bloom stage.

LEGUME SEED CROPS

Pointing to the urgent need
for legume seed production this
year, Ralph D. Mercer, extern
sion agronomiSt at Montana
State college, reminds producers
of alfalfa seed that special
acreage payments will be made
under the AAA program.
In addition, he said, payments
of Oh cents per pound will be
made for alfalfa seed harvested
and sold into commercial chan
nelS before December 81, 1945.
A payment of 31e cents per
pound will also be paid for red
clover seed harvested and sold
into commercial channels be-
fore December 81 this year.
Producers desiring detailed
information on the payments
are advised to get them from
their county AAA committee.
With the demand for legume
seed at an all time high, Mer-
Ger urges alfalfa growers to
make special efforts this year
to harvest a seed crop. Last
year, he said, Montana produc-
ed 100000 pounds of alfalfa
seed of which 700, 900 was reg
istered seed. This year, he said,
it is hoped that production will
be increased considerably over
that of 1914.

I have been sweating out ship

in December and I still am. I wish
to h. they would do something
instead of keeping us waiting all
this time. It really gets me. We,
the whole outfit, were all ready to
60 across two times now, but some
thing always holds us back.
I guess you met my brother when
he was home last month. I really
tried to get furlough to go home
and see him, but no dice. I didn't t
have any time coming. Now I'm
sweating it out, hoping that he gets
a furlough when I do, which will
be about the last day of May, I
hope.
Well, sir, I guess this will be all
this time, so I'll close now hoping
to see you all very soon. So until
then, remain, as always t'a pal"

Dear Sir:
Just a few lines to pass on to you
another of my experiences in the
Far East-and 1 do mean FAR.
AS you already know, I'm in the
ATC, and as that good old Ameri-
can sense of humor will have it, the
ATC is an abbreviation for Army of
Terrified Civilians And being a
member of such is good enough
reason for my getting around so. AS
luck would have it, I had the op
portunity to visit a city in this neck
of the woods And as luck has it,
I'm not able to tell you which.
At any rate, roamed about buy
ing few souvenirs and what-not,
at the most outrageous prices, when
I came to place where ceremonies
were being held for some celestial
that kicked the bucket. The place
was on the main drag, and it was a
20 by 20 room with big door to the
street.
T never did get glimpse of the
deceased, as they had the body in
an inner room. I did, however,
stick around to see what would hap

De Mile, Firm on Union
Levy, May Lose Broadcast
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26.-Cecil B
De Mile has announced that he will
not pay 81 assessment levied by
the American Federation of Radio
Artists although it probably will
mean that he will not be able to
appear with his weekly Monday
night radio show.
Mr.. De Miles attorney said an
appeal would be made from Su-
perior Court ruling which held that
the union was within its rights in
Suspending the producer. Mr.. De
Mile opposed the assessment, which
had been levied during the Novem-
Der political campaign to fight q
legislative amendment.

PEELED to say au revoire and ask the
kind thoughts of many of my mil
lions Of listeners into whose homes
I have been received every Monday
night for so many years." said q
statement issued by the producer.
Mr.. De Mile sued the union over
the assessment, declaring that his
civil rights were impaired and seek
ing to prevent Its enforcement.

Deal on Closed Shop
Barred as House Sets
Stage for Work Debate
KiIdoy Reveals Trade to
Kill Fair Employment
Practices Amendment
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

The House Rules Committee
today sent the compulsory work
bill to the floor for debate next
week amid indications it faces a
fight over its effect on strikes as
we'll as the closed-shop principle
Representative Kilday, Democrat,
of Texas revealed to the Rules Com
mittee that the Military Affairs
Committee eliminated the amend
ment giving workers the right to
stay out of labor union only after
the committee had adopted an
amendment giving statutory back
/ ing to the Fair Employment Prac-
tices Committee program.
The revelation came when Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia said he would like to hear
some member of the Military Com
mittee justify drafting man for
work and then compelling him tc
join union.
Mr.. Kilday replied that when the
anticlosed-shop amendment was
eliminated two days ago, another
amendment had been adopted pro-
yiding that no employer should re-
ject a worker on grounds of race
creed or national origin. Both issues
were then eliminated and Mr.. Kill
day asked if members of the Rules
Committee wanted both restored.
Bill Compromise Measure.
"You are not here telling us this
was a horse trader" Representative
Smith inquired.
Members of the Military Commit
tee replied that the bill as reported
was the result of compromise, as is
most legislation.
Acting Chairman Cox of the Rules
Committee told Chairman May of
the Military Committee, "You don't
even attempt to outlaw strikes to
protect the boys in the trenches
Representative Halleck, Republic
an, of Indiana broke in to say he
thought that IF a man went on
strike under this bill you could throw
him in jail. This is the first real
antistrike bill We have had"
Mr.. May replied that his commit
tee tried to conflne the bill to OBJ
tanning the manpower needed to win
the war. without injecting contro-
versial labor issues. He interpreted
the bill as meaning that if a man
between Is and As refused to go to
a job at the direction of his draft
board, or remained out on strike, his
local draft board would determine
in each individual case whether he
was away from the job justifiably.
There was no intention, he added, Of
dealing with strikes as a principle.
Two Rules Of Action.
so, the local draft boards would
say in each case whether strike
was alright or not?" asked Repre-
sentative Brown, Republican, Of
Ohio.
Mr.. Halleck observed that, If 100
men strike, that is a mass quitting
of work.
Representative Michener, Repub-
Ican, Of Michigan said that if local
draft boards pass on the action of
a striker who is between 18 and As,
there would be two rules of action
for the men in a plant, depending
upon whether they were within or
outside the age limits covered.
