In the study of the first let
ter of Paul to the Thessalo-
mans we read over and over
again the reference which was
made to the coming of the
Lord. Having turned from the
worship of idols, which they
could see and feel and cling
to, to the unseen God there
had been a miraculous change
come into their lives. In the
midst of persecution and trial
these young" Christians were
standing firm in their testi-
mony before the world and
were continuing in their labor
of love. Faith is a venture
which trusts in the first COM
ing, and waits for the second"
May we be true to the giving
forth of the message of His
second coming as we'll as His
first.
We rejoice in the work as
we are encouraged by increas-
ed attendance at the services
in the Zion Mountain View
Chapel. Our best Bible school
attendance was experienced
last Lords Day with 118 pres
ent. Some of our nine Bible
school classes are overcrowd-
ed and we will have to add
two or three new classes as
soon as possible. Our need now
is for more teachers and add
ed transportation as we have
a number Of children who are
unable to come because of the
distance from their homes to
the chapel. We had 80 chill
dren in the station wagon, last
Lords Day, in one load.
What a need there is, as
Overseer Lee pointed out in
his missionary address, for ad-
ditional sacrifice. The neglect
to do a thing we ought to do
is just as much a sin as the do
ing of something we ought not
to do. What about you and
me? Are we actually giving,
beyond a point of convenience,
the means God has entrusted
to us in order that His Word
may go forth? I believe we
can do more, especially in the
light of His soon coming.
Pray for us and the work
here.

Soil Fumigants Control
Beet NematOdes

AN EFFECTIVE CONTROL for
the root knot nematode in sugar
beets was described by w. L.
Quayle, director of agricultural sub
stations for the University of Wyo-
ming.
New soil fumigants containing
bromine and chlorine have given al
most complete control of the sugar
beet nematode on lighter soils at
Torrington, Wyo., he reported. The
nematode is credited with making
large acreages of land worthless for
sugar beet production.
Increase Yields
Yield increases traceab1e to the
chemicals, Quayle indicated, range
from 3.3 tons to a. tons more beets
per acre. Best yields with several
types of chemicals ranged from 1873
tons per acre to 1877 tons per acre
or treated ground, while untreated
ground produced an average of only
9.5 tons to the acre.
Final sugar yields from the fumi-
gated soils correspondent with the
beet yields, the treated fields pro-
ducing from 81 to 46 percent more
sugar, the substation director re-
ported. Sugar yields on treated soil
ranged from 4,421 pounds to 5000
pounds per acre, while those on I'M
treated soil averaged only 3,486
pounds per acre.
Increases Match Cost
Fumigation is sometimes objected
to because it destroys useful living
organisms in the soil, according to
Quayle, but he expressed a belief
that the treatment leaves enough
useful and desirable organisms be-
hind SO that their numbers are built
up rapidly afterward. No informal
ton is available regarding the
length of time for which the treat
ment is effective in controlling the
root knot nematode. Cost of the
treatment is just about offset by in
creases in beet yields.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-04-15
Phosphorus, Nitrogen
Boost Beet Yield

A NEED FOR PHOSPHORUS and
nitrogen fertilizers on many Wyo-
ming sugar beet fields is reported
by the state experiment station.
w. L. Quayle, director of agricu1-
tural substations for the University
of Wyoming, described experiments
conducted in 1947 at Powell, Wor-
land and Torrington, in cooperation
with the Beet Sugar Development
Foundation, Fl. Collins, Colo, and
said that in all the experiments
sugar beets responded to the two
fertilizers.
Beets at Torrington and Worland
gave their best response to a COM
bination of phosphate and nitrogen,
but also responded to several types
of phosphate o. nitrogen used alone.
At Powell, the beets gave their best
response to phosphate fertilizers, al
though nitrate fertilizers and COM
binations of nitrogen and phosphate
also increased the yields.
Manure also increased the best
yields at all three locations, whether
used alone, or in combination with
phosphate, the substation director
reported. Ammonium sulphate in
creased yields at Torrington, but
had no effect at Worland or Powell.
Neither potash, in the form of po-
tassium chloride, nor gypsum ap-
peared to benefit the beets at Wor-
land and Powell, and neither COM
pound was used at Torrington,
Quayle said. Lime refuse helped
yields at Powell, but not at Wor-
land, and was not used at Tor
rington.

Lamarre Tangled Up
In Story at Probe,
Transcript Reveals
By Robert K. Walsh

The previously unpublished
testimony of Bleriot H. Lamarre
before a Senate War Investigat-
ing Committee last October was
read by Government attorneys
at the District Court trial of Maj
Gen. Bennett E. Meyers today to
show that Lamarre became bad
ly tangled in his story and was
threatened with perjury charges.
At one point in the subcommittee
closed hearing, at which he asserted
Meyers had no financial interest in
the Aviation Electric Co. of Dayton,
Ohio, Lamarre was quoted as say
ing his own living expenses as COM
pany president were $500 a month.
Subcommittee Chairman Ferguson
then observed: you couldn't do
any work II you spent that much"
Detailed Record Revealed.
AS the Government neared the
close of its case against Meyers, a re-
tired Army Air Forces purchasing
officer, the prosecutors read to JUS
tice Alexander Holtzoff and a jury
the detailed record of the subcom-
mittee session at which they said
Lamarre told a false story in deny
ing that Meyers was the real owner
of the Dayton company.
Meyers is charged with persuading
Lamarre to commit perjury. Lamarre
testified later that he lied to the sub
COMMITTEES at the direction of
Meyers.
Before the Government rests it's
case, probably late today. it planned
to ask Leo Riley, a Boston private
detective, if Meyers hired him to
question prospective witnesses before
the current trial started.
Garageman Testifies.
Melvin ]. Taylor, a garageman at
the Hotel 2400, where Meyers lived
in Washington, disclosed yesterday
that "a private detective named
Riley" asked him last January to
make statement that an automo-
bile kept at the hotel after 1941 by
Meyers was seldom used. Mr.. Taylor
said the car was used several times
by Meyers and his wife. Charles L.
Hutchinson, hotel manager, testified
Meyers paid $50 for garage space
for two Cadillacs, one blue and one
brown.
The blue car, according to Vernon
M. Knox, salesman for the Capital
Cadillac Co., was ordered by Meyers
in December, 1s41, and paid for by
check from the Aviation Electric Co.
Ralph w. Lee, jr., an insurance
man here, testified today that his
company insured Meyers automo-
bile and that the premiums were
paid by the Aviation Electric Co.
He also testified that the COM
pany,s address was given as 24O0

Representative Mitchell. Republi-

conducting "a studied game of con-
fusion" In questioning witnesses at
the margarine tax repeal hearings.
One Of four Republican House
members called to testify today for
repeal of the taxes, Mr.. Mitchell
shouted that he was Shocked at
the way in which "the vital issues

brought loud applause from specta-
tors who crowded the committee
room.

name any names, 1t was apparent he
was referring to Representatives

Republican, who has taken no part
in the contest for delegates to the
Republican National Convention,
said:
The definite announcement by
Gen. Macarthur will be good news
for the people of Wisconsin"
While committing himself to no
candidate. Senator Wiley COM
mented that Gen. Macarthur was
"the greatest administrator and the
greatest military genius Of this age"
In the 1914 Republican primary
in Wisconsin, in which delegate
candidates for Gov. Dewey, Gen.
Macarthur, Mr.. Stassen and the
late Wendell L. Willkie were en-
tered. II were elected for Gov.
Dewey, for Gen. Macarthur and
8 for Mr.. Stassen. At that time
Gen. Macarthur had said he could
not be a candidate because OF his
military duties. Gov. Dewey had
said he was not candidate and
had urged the delegate candidates
committed to him to withdraw from
the race.
Reluctant to Predict Outcome.
Seven did, but the other II re-
manned on the ballot and all were
elected. This means that Gov.
Dewey did not lose a delegate either
to Mr.. Stassen or to Gen. MacAr-
thur. Mr.. Willkie did not win q
delegate.
It was freely predicted that Gen.
MacArthurs announcement would
stir up his supporters in Wisconsin
which claims him as distin-
guished son-and add to his voting
strength there. Members of the
Wisconsin delegation, however, were
reluctant to predict what would be
the outcome of the primary. AS one
Of them put 1t:

State treasurer and at present ma
tional co-ordinator of Macarthur

now Gen. Macarthur would go into

ready to vote for him.
He said that this number would
have to be revised upward mate
rally before the June convention.
Mr.. Wright announced that a
meeting of Macarthur leaders would
be held next week in Milwaukee,
when plans would be made for Or
ganizing throughout the country.
Mr.. Wright said he Is considering
the possibility of a radio address by
Gen. Macarthur from Tokyo.

His attention was called to the
fact that this might violate Army
regulations.

that soldiers in Japan are wearing

to enter Gen. MacArthur's name In

braska.
TT Is too late to 60 into other
States primaries" he said.
