on n7ooh;-o ~-od hoete t-~a It did
on hand topped beets.
In 1947 l had 49 acres of beets,
which were all harvested mechani-
cally. In 25 full days operating the
harvester 8 hours a day, we har-
vested 752 tons of beets. This time
includes all time lost due to break
downs and repairs. l believe that
the machine should be stronger in
some parts. However, we never had
a breakdown that could not be fixed
in our farm shop.
The ground that the beets were
grown on ranges from very heavy
to light sandy soil. l found that the
harvester will do good work in
heavy ground if it is not too dry. If
the ground is very dry, some clods
will go in with the beets, and if
not picked out, will go in the truck
with the beets and, of course, will
result in heavy tare.
The fact that this machine takes
only one man to operate and never
depends on a truck or trailer makes
it completely independent of loading
and hauling.
At 22-inch row space, six rows of
beets go into one windrow. The
tops are windrowed three to a row.
I found that beets should be planted
accurately, since the tractor wheels
will run on top of the rows if they
are not evenly spaced and result in
poor topping.
Last year I had eight end-rows.
This year I will have IL, since 8 are
not quite enough for turning the
machine.
1t is easy for anyone to see that a
mechanical harvester will pay for
itself in a short while.

ATTITUDES, but they thrive and pro
duce abundantly when cultural di-
rections are followed.
The growing of fruit, if not on a
commercial basis but merely for
home use, can be assured in this
county and a fair variety of it adds
so much to the 'hveability" of the
homestead whether it be in the
country or in a town, where a city
lot may not permit space for more
than a few trees.
A fruit tree bearing a crop of
ripening fruit is a thing of beauty
and so symbolic of the good things
of this earth, that there are those
of us who wonder why in a land so
favored in climate and soil as this,
that more consideration is not given
to growing the rather wide variety
of fruit that the county appears
fully capable Of producing. Thus far,

DOT Applied by Plane
Saves Clover Crop

BY ARTHUR AYLESwORTH. Loke County
THE bugs would have harvested
my 26 acre field of registered
Cumberland red clover if we hadn't
busted it with DOT. The resulting
yield was $50 pounds to the acre
and l certainly feel the expense of
the job was worth while. The cost
of the DOT and the job of airplane
application came to $108, combined.
Shortly after 1 had clipped and
removed the first cutting of hay
from this rs acre clover field, I
noticed small areas in the field
where the second growth apparently
was eaten to the ground. All the
leaves we're gone from the stems
and some of the stems were badly
chewed. Mr.. Sprague of the West
ern Montana Cooperative Seed
Growers association was called, and
we decided to dust the field.
DOT was applied by plane at the
rate of 20 pounds per acre, using 10
percent dust. Within a week after
busting was done, green foliage APP
peared in the damaged areas. /
watered the field again and the
yield was nearly $50 pounds to the
acre. How much difference the dust
ing actually made I don't know, as
there was no definite way to check
On the results in the same field.
However, I do know that the dust
ing certainly did stop the damage
that was being done.
Also a great relief, was the fact
that it was the only field on our
ranch where you could care for
water early in the morning or late
in the evening without being both
cred by mosquitoes. 1t seems to COM
pletely extefminate them.
Just how much credit is due the
busting I am not sure, but l believe
the bugs would have harvested most
of the field otherwise, and I do feel
the expense was worth while. l
also recommend busting for anyone
raising seed.

Mechanical Harvester

IN 1916 1 purchased a beet har-

weather was very bad and conditions
for harvesting beets were never very
good. 1 harvested 20 acres that year
mechanically, 8 acres by hand, and
Is acres were left in the ground.
Even under those bad conditions
beets harvested mechanically we're
cleaner than those topped by hand,
and tops and beets were windrowed

culture of fruit is carried on in a
small way as a side line or perhaps
more as a hobby.
A fair variety of fruit was grow
ing on the place at the time it was
acquired and more has been planted
since. Some has not yet developed
into the bearing stage, but there is
every indication of its probable sue
cess.
An abundance of apples of several
varieties are produced each year.
Three varieties of peaches, four
of plums and one of apricots are

preaching the bearing stage but as
yet are too immature for production.
Sweet Cherries
Sweet cherries are in full bearing
stage, and four varieties of these are
enjoyed. The Lamberts hold the
lead in quality and prolificness. The
others, however, deserve full men
ton.
Five varieties of grapes are in
bearing and when fine sweet grapes
can be gathered by the bushel ii
seems conclusive proof that they
well justify a place high on our list.
Berries, of course, are a success
if given any reasonable chance.
Dewberries, blackberries, and straw

sidered a bit touehy to grow in these

area are worthy of mention.
This county, embracing within its
eastern edge a considerable portion
of the lower Flathead valley, ex-
tends northwesterly to the Mon
tana-Idaho line as the guardian of
the valley of the Clark's Fork of the
Columbia river, from its confluence
with the Flathead river.
Compared to the general altitude
of the state the county is in the
lowest bracket and is far enough
west to gain considerable benefit
from the moderate climate of the
Pacific coast region.
Fruit growing here has thus far
not been practiced on any CONNER
eial scale; nor has it appeared to
have been ever given the considera-
ton it would seem to merit, by any
appreciate percentage of home
owners.
Fruits in All Areas
From the eastern to the extreme
western limits of the county, the
writer has observed good quality
fruit sufficiently well distributed TO
disprove any contention that only
in a few favored spots could this be
done. 1t is readily conceded that
some localities are considered eSpe-
eially favorable for some types of
fruit, but taking the county as an
area, it may well be considered as
generally suitable for fruit growing.
No production figures r avail
able, nor is there intent to offer a
compilation of data on what fruit
to raise or how much.
Apples are usually considered the
leader when we think in terms of
fruit. They may be found here in
practically every locality.
Pears do not seem to have been
tried by the earlier settlers TO any
great extent. Yet from time to time
we have found trees growing as high
as a prairie windmill and bearing an
abundant crop of high quality fruit
without a seasons miss.
Peaches Do Well
Peaches show up here and there,
and from the size of the trees, we
judge it has been in more recent
years that some adventurous soul
gave them a trial. Their quality is
high and when on display at the
county fair, their color, quality and
uniformity excite the wonder of
many who consider Montana's prin-
cipal fruit as prickly pear.
Sweet cherries are one of the
TASTY treasures we enjoy here; Lam
berts and Bings being the favorites
All too many home owners have neg
lected to plant them, but their
range seems to be general through
the county.
Pie cherries, of course, are gen
era1. Their hardness and prolific
tendencies would justify much more
extensive planting.
Apricots and plums demonstrate
their right to a place on the list
when they are given a chance.
Grapes Successful

'SOuLlIlueu IIOIl rage Ouc' tighten their grip on Hungary to- day when that country's parlia- ment convenes to name new president to succeed Zoltan Tildy.
 Tidy resigned Friday few hours after the interior ministry announced his son-in-laW, Dr. Victory Csornojy, had been ar rested on unspecified charges of spying and treason. Csornojy re- signed as minister to Egypt Thursday.
 It is expected the presidency now will go to Arpad SzaWasits, who last June led his socialists into a merger with the commun- ists in tn eunified labor party. Tildy was a former leader of the small holder party which was strongly supported by the pea sants.
 The socialist press in Berlin charged Moscow was giving the western allies the run-around. Meanwhile, the Russians made a new attempt to win over the g. 005,000 Germans in the blockaded western sectors of the city by of fering them raw materials and power to run industries.
 The catch was that finished products must be delivered to the communist-controlled Germ a n economic commission for sale in the Russian zone or in the Soviet dominated eastern Europ can countries. If they could work this the communists would achieve what they have long sought-an economic stranglehold over all Berlin.
 Delegates attending the Danube river conference in Belgrade ex- pressed the belief Russia will get the kind of Danube navigation convention she wants. Yugoslavia was following the line laid down by Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei Vishinsky.
 Western powers in Moscow have asked an interview with Prime Minister Stalin and may see him shortly, qualified sources said today.
 Three London newspapers re- ported Stalin had agreed to talk tonight with the American, Brit ish and French envoys over the east-west crisis that included blockaded Berlin.
 There were hints in the German capital the Russians are ready to talk business.

Moscow reported the western diplomats and Russians already have made progress and "defin- itely contributed toward easing the tense international situation" The ambassadors were standing by for a call from the Kremlin and keeing their mouths shut.
 Purposes of the Moscow talks were reported to be the easing of the Russian blockade of Berlin and establishing a basis for fu- ture four-power talks. A good au- thority in Moscow said there ap- pears to be a good chance both obiectives will be worked out.
 The Berlin blockade started in June. The Russians barred access through their surrounding zone by railway, road and canal. The western powers have been flying in enough food for their 2,000,000 or more Berlin Germans, but coal has become increasingly short.
