Mustard and Fanweed
Seed Good In Ground
Feed Of Mich Cows

Bozeman, Aug. Elbow wilc
yellow mustard seed and fanweeC
seed may be used as concentrate
feeds for milking cows without
harming the quality of the milk is
described in a new bulletin just re-
leased by the Montana agricultural
experiment station. The bulletin,
"Wild Yellow Mustard Seed and
Fanwed Seed as Concentrate Feeds
of Milking Cows" was written
by j. o. Tretsven and j. A. Nelson
of the dairy industry department
of Montana State college.
The bulletin may be obtained
from county agents or by writing
the experiment station.
In reaching their conclusions
Tretsven and Nelson conducted
feeding trials during the winters of
1942-43, 1943-44 and 1944-45. For
the first two tests the ground seeds
of the two weeds found annually in
Montana wheat and other crops
were fed to Jersey and Holstein
as supplements to the grain
ration. Results were then checked
against those obtained from feed
ing soybean oil meal as a supple
mentary feed.
In the third test a ration of 10
per cent ground wild yellow mus
tard seed as a supplement was used
and checked against a ration in
which 10 per cent extra barley
replaced the mustard seed.
Among the conclusions reached
that cows will eat a concen-
readily when it contains from
eight to 16 per cent of ground yell
,ow mustard seed; that COWS will
produce 100 pounds of milk on less
concentrate and gain slightly more
n weight when 10 per cent of
wild yellow mustard seed is
Used in the ration; that the two
will cause no bad effects on
lavor of milk, cream or butter, and
hat the seeds have a high percent
Ige of other extract.
Tretsven emphasized that the
mustard seed can be fed in relative
y large amounts before and after
without giving any bad
lavor to the milk, cream or but
er, but that fanweed seed can be
ed only after milking.

R0TAR|ANS HE AR TALKS
ON GIL. TRAINING, NEED
FOR NEW COURTHOUSE

]. d. Fellows of Billings, veter-
ans service officer for this district,
spoke Tuesday at a meeting of the
Rotary club and described training
available to and being carried on
for veterans who avail themselves
of the opportunities provided by the
G. l. bill. He differentiated the
earlier disabled veterans measure,
which still operates, and the later
G. I. bill.
Both provide training, the first
and the second leaving the job
finding to the veteran. The G. l..
bill also provides for schooling, but
as academic training and appren-
ticeships in trades are both forms
of education the veteran must
choose which he will take.
In the case of an apprenticeship
the employer pays part of the
wages and increases the wages ac-
cording to a scale adopted at the
time the training begins. The gov
eminent makes up the difference
to the point where the employer
payments reach a designated Level.
Before a contract becomes operative
such instances the plant must
first be certified as acceptable to
the veterans administration. The
training period varies, depending on
the nature of the trade and the
of time the veteran was in
the service.
In academic training a veteran
is given a year, plus as many
months as he was in the service.
For many this amounts to a four
year course in college or u%niver-
The governments intent is
20 give its youthful ex-soldiers
school or job training they select.
Part of Fellows work is advis-
ng G. is and their dependents. He
mentioned the many calls his office
handles.

johnston of the August program

GROWTH OF PHONE USE
IS NOTED BY MANAGER

The growth of Laurel and the in
creased tempo of business activity
in this area is forcefully shown by
some telephone information released
today by R. B. Packard, Laurel
manager of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph company.
Company-wide information prove
similarly that business activity is at
an all-time high in the entire Noun
tain States territory.
Although many people believed
that the end of the war would see
a definite leveling off, if not a de-
cline, in demand for telephone SER
vice, the eleven months since VI
day have witnessed unprecedented
new demands for service, as well as
record-breaking usage of telephones
by subscribers.
In Laurel, there were CAT tele-
phones in service June 80, 1941. AL
though wartime demand for new
telephone service was very great.
material shortages held down the
gain in telephones, and in June, 1916,
this number had increased only to
a total of $40. At the present time,
with almost all orders filled, there
are OIL telephones in Laurel. Thus,
in n year, this exchange has gain
ed (almost as many telephones as)
in the four preceding years.
The same general trend is true

CIRCULATE
FOR BOND ISSUE FOR
COUNTY COURTHOUSE

Petitions asking for an election
on a bond issue for construction of
a new county courthouse to replace
the structure that has been in use
the past 43 years are being circulat-
ed here this week for the signatures
of Laurel taxpaying residents who
are qualified to vote.
The proposal is the %outgrowth of
a survey of opinion that was con-
Quoted in the year when officials
told of the increasing crowded con-
dition existing in the courthouse and
the need for more room in which
to carry on the functions of county
government. Opinion seemed to ia
vor a new building, with the result
that the bond issue proposal will
be submitted to a vote when the
necessary number of signatures are
on the petitions.
Danger of loss of records by
fire is one of the arguments adj
vanced in favor of a new court
house, and another of almost equal
Importance is the need for office
space.
The present building was adequate
n 1903 when it was constructed,
put since then the population of
he county has continuously increas-
I'd and the demands for service
lave grown in proportion. All
AVAILABLE space is now in use, i'm
basement rooms that were
originally intended for storage and
leating.
The vault in the office of the
clerk and recorder is the
My n resting on a foundation in
he earth. The others, including
he county treasurer's office, are
uspended and are without direct
arth support. In cast of a fire
hey and their contents would fall
nd be destroyed. Many of the
ecords are not r%eplaceable. Num-
rous old papers and books are now
tOred on shelves constructed in the
tito under the clock.
AS county-operated departments
ere added from time to time dur
lg the years it became necessary
take over other buildings, includ-
lg school structures in Billings, for
ffices and unprotected storage. ;
The board of county commissioners
larged with protecting the inter
;ts of the county as well as with {
ADMINISTRATION, has expressed the I
its members would be |
eglectful were they to fail to in s
'rm the citizens of the county of
