On three different sectors things are hap
rening that at least some Government econ
omists think should mean less of a strain on
American production and maybe start toward
those long awaited lower prices: l. The first
euarter of this year there were l0,50o more
business failures than In the same period
in 1947. They jumped from 54,400 to 64,s0O
2 Our sales of coal to foreign nations dropped
from an average of 3,500o00 tons month last
year, to only 1000 900 this summer. 3. Exports
generally dropped from $1,000, 100000 the first
half of 1947 to $6,600o0O,000 the first half Of
this year. Experts point out that drop can
be even bigger in volume since prices had
Jumped. Some Government economists say
to watch farm land for the first sign of a
ma jor downturn in real estate prices The
farmers luck on good weather and good prices
is bound to turn, they say, and when cash
returns from his crops turn low in relation
to the price of his land. the land price will
drop too. Then, they add, people in cities will
move out to the lowest-cost farm suburban
areas, and city real estate prices and rents
will in turn reflect the effects of lower demand.
When? These economists shy off a forecast
On that. They say -crop-support prices and
the reduction in farm-mortage debt during
good times have bolstered farm land against
a price crack just now.

government will be set up within few months.
Somewhat bitterly, Yugosav party followers
predict it will be condemned ultimately by the
Cominform-as was their own government
for "nationalistic" policies. Their reasoning is
based on the argument that the Chinese Com

way into power and will therefore demand
independent control over internal affairs.

the plants through the seed forming

Again it's the same old story of
putting a smaller amount of good
seed on the ground at less money
with the possibility of producing a
larger crop.
With all the work that's being
done now on the control of annual
weeds by chemical sprays and dust,

icals unless he not only follows
closely the recommendations of the
manufacturer, the research findings
of the Montana agricultural expert
ment station and the information in
the hands of his county extension
agent but also uses his head in ap-
plying all information.
Rescue Wheat
From reports coming out of the
sawfly area, it appears hat Rescue
wheat has again been the most prac-
teal way of reducing losses from
the sawfly infestation. While Rescue
wheat is not immune to the sawfly,
the in~festation is so much less with
this variety than with other varieties
that it is sometimes hard to under
stand why every acre in wheat is
not seeded to Rescue wheat in those
counties where large populations of
sawfly are known to exist.
There is no apparent reason to
hope that populations will decrease,
and this year reports of 70 to 80 per-
cent ~infestation of other varieties
should cause any producer to stop
and do a little calculating.
Durum Varieties Questionable
The question of using durum va
rieties for the control of sawfly is
always before the producer. Expert
nee here and in Canada indicates
that in some years there is less dam
age to durum varieties than to rec
commended hard red spring varieties
other than Rescue, but in other years
durum varieties seem to carry very
little resistance.
There is always the big danger in
a hard red spring wheat area of get
ting durum mixed with hard red
spring wheat paintings to a point
where the grade of wheat will be
drastically reduced.
There has been plenty of Rescue
wheat produced in Montana this
year to take ARE of any amount
needed for the 1949 season. 1t would
however, be advisable to lay in seed
supplies early from producers whe
have made an effort to keep theil

schooling just the same.
And speaking of kids-every
month when I sit down to chat with
Montana producers for a short time,
there are things I'd like to chat
about, but somehow or other I just
forget about it. You know there are
things that parents sometimes want
to talk over with their kids, but
some of them never quite get around
to it. That's all right, too, cause the
kids find out about those things any
way.
I guess I've got that kind of a
slant on the producers. l just don't
get around to talk about certain
things and hope you'll find out from
your own experience that the diff
ference in revenue will make you
want to do those things.
Two Reasons
Of course this increased revenue
angle is just about the least effec-
tive sales talk I know of today.
They've been crying for alfalfa seed
in the consuming areas the past
month and here are a lot of our
growers sitting on a goodly supply
of seed but not interested in selling.
Of course they have one big reason
for not selling and a second is that
in portions of the alfalfa seed pro-
lx,4.~x $3.50 H. 49, z14ox
feed piles have taken a terrible lick
ing this year through reduced rain
fall and increased grasshopper pop
ulations. If they've got a little re-
serve seed they can convert into re-
serve feed, it may look pretty good
before the snowballs stop flying
next spring.
Light Seeding
There's one thing I always want
to talk about and that's light seeding
of grain and small seeds where the
available moisture is limited to the
annual precipitation handed out by
the weather man.
No matter what the crop may be
or how many times you show a pro-
ducer that the quality, weight and
total production is more where thin
seeding is practiced, he invariably
comes back with the stock answer
as ancient as the hills and says,
"Pve got to put on enough seed to
keep the weeds down"
Of course, if the only reason for
planting a crop is to keep the weeds
down, then his answer is 100 per-
cent perfect, but if we are trying to
produce on a given acreage of land
the best quality produce we can,
then, of course, there must be found
a way to keep the weeds down with
out heavy seedlings.
Many producers have found thai
by planting low rates of wheat, oat:
and barley the crop will tillel
heavier in a good season to make
heavy growth, and in a poor season
the smaller amount of tillering vii
tend to produce a product of bette,
quality.
Fewer Plants Better
The same is true with alfalfa seet
producers. Those that produce see,
year after year are those that know
that one large plant with a larg
water drawing area will produc
more seed than 10 or Is small

SHERIDAN ROAD
BEING BLACKTOPPED

AS you will have noticed dur
ing the last few weeks, the
Skokie Asphalt Company is
widening Sheridan Road from
Waukegan at Glen Flora Ave-
nue. to the Wisconsin State
line by adding two feet of con-
crete on each side of the con-
crete preparatory to blacktop-
ping the entire distance.
Through the wide pavement
section in Zion, the blacktop
will reach from curb to curb.
Work of scraping the concrete
was done last week, prepara-
tory to applying the asphalt
blacktop. The binding tar coat.
ing was applied last Friday
and the pouring of the asphalt
began the first of this week.
The strengthening of the "S''
curve north of Waukegan is
also progressing satisfactorily.
