E|ElDMAN SAYS BETS
IN AREA DOING WELL

Contrary to the usual attitude
taken towards the weather, r.
Roseberry, field manager for the
Great Western Sugar company, said
this week that weather conditions
now are ideal. The combination of
warm days and cool nights are
just what the beets need for good
growth.
Although an unfavorable spring
caused some damage to the crop,
tonnage is expected to be nearly
normal in spite of the reduced
acreage. Hail storms have set the
crop west of Park City back for
about one week, but did not cause
great deal of damage.
Roseberry said that the labor
this spring was sufficient
and that there should be no short
age this fall as much of the harv-
in this area is done by ma
chinery.
1t is too early to estimate the
time of the factory run this fall, or
the sugar content of the beets. The
sugar content does not develop UNI
til later in the season.

hail and wind are expected to be
more than offset by general i'm
provement from the additional
moisture. Binder harvest of grains
is active and combining of winter
wheat is starting on early seedlings.
Haying operations were held up in
some areas because of wet weather.
Extensive hail damage to grains
occurred early last week in Judith
Basin and Choteau counties. There
was also some scattered crop DAM
age in Deed Lodge, Lewis and
Clarke, Meagher, Park, Sweet Grass
and Saltwater counties. In other
central portions of the state driv-
ing rain storms lodged considerable
acreage of winter wheat. Moderate
to heavy rainfall in Flathead and
Lake counties caused damage to
some sweet cherries. The actual
amount of loss caused by the storms
has not been determined at this
time.
Beneficial rains during the past
two weeks have brought about con-
siderable recovery of grain in north
eastern counties which had pre-
viously suffered from heat and dry
ness. Corn growth and development
has been very satisfactory through
out the eastern portion of the state,
with exception of local areas in
Carter and Fallon counties where
temperatures had been too cool.
Grain binders became quite ac-
tive in south-central and north
eastern sections of the state during
the week. Approximately 45 per
cent of the binder harvest of small
is now complete in Prairie
Combining of winter wheat
is moving along in so~uth-central
and eastern counties with Big Horn
and Carbon counties having COM
pleted approximately 5 per cent of
their combining by the end of the
week.
Stocks of wheat in all positions
in Montana amounted to II, $4,000
bushels on July / this year in com-
parison to 7,174,000 bushels in
storage for the same period last
year. Since April l of this year g.
651 1000 bushels have moved into
various channels of use. During

East Coast Strike Called Off Pend ing Court Ruling

NEW YORK (P)-A threatened strike of 60,O0O CIO seamen> was staved off early today by an agreement with AZ Atlantic and Gulf Coast shipping companies for retention of union hiring halls" and for pay increases.
 The hiring halls-in which the union picks men for jobs-had been the main issue in dispute between the operators and the national maritime union (CIO) in lengthy bargaining.
 This settlement, however, does not affect the NMU dispute with the Great Lakes ship owners, or similar tangles on the west coast, where a strike is threatened Sept. 2.
 National labor relations board attorneys are confronted by a puzzler in these other cases.
 The east and Gulf coast agree ment-subject to ratification by the union membership was reached early this morning after an 11-hour session of negotiating committees of the NMU and the ship owners.
 A strike had been threatened for after Sept. 2, when federal court cooling-off injunctions ex- pire.
 The agreement gives boatsWains wage increase of $25 a month and ratings an increase of $12.50 a month.
 It provides that the status quo on the hiring halls shall be pre- served until a court of 'compe- tent jurisdiction" determines Whe- ther the hiring system is legal under the Taft-Hartley act. The operators have contended the act bans the system.

Operators Declare Krug Does
 Endorse Traps

KETCHIKAN, (P A spokes- man for salmon trap operators said yesterday official Congress sional records clearly subStanti- ate" their use of secretary of in terior J. A. Krug'S name in an election controversy over fish traps.
 Fred Gunderson, chairman of the committee of Alaska trap op- orators, replied to criticism by William E. Warne, assistant sec retary of interior, in connection with newspaper advertisements by operators prior to the Oct. l2 elections. Alaskans will vote at that time on whether they want salmon traps abolished or retain ed.
 Gunderson said Krug wrote Senator Vandenberg on June II, 1947, that "the fish and Wildlife service is convinced that the trap is an efficient form of fishing gear and is no threat to the conserva- tion of salmon.
 Saying the operators "did not pretend to have Krug's blanket endorsement of salmon traps, Gunderson's statement added 'In the advertisements pub lished in Alaska newspapers we claim that Krug believes traps dc not threaten future salmon runs Our source material is clearly a matter of public record"
 Warne had contended the ads we're misrepresenting Krug's stand.
