Is4s STATE WHEAT GOAL

THE MONTANA STATE USDA
council has recommended a goal of
4,400, 900 acres of wheat for Montana
for 1949 harvest, R. j. McKenna, sec-
rotary of the council said.
The recommended acreage repre-
sents a reduction of about lis per-
cent from the 4,970,000 acres esti-
mated as the seeded acreage in the
state for 1948, McKenna said. The
USDA policy and program commit
tee recommended an overall de-
crease in national wheat acreage for
the consideration of state USDA
councils, and the Montana council
concurs in this recommendation.
The national wheat goal seeks to
bring about adjustments in areas
where shifts in land use are desirable
for better conservation. Assuming
an average yield of Is bushels per
acre, the 1938-47 average, the pro-
posed goal would make 1949 produc-
ton IL billion bushels, slightly I'M
der the -1.2 billion bushels expected
for this year.
The wheat goal will permit farm
ers to provide for more summer fall
low and in marginal areas, to begin
reseeding to grass land which is not
suited to sustained production of
crops. Other considerations in sug-
costing the wheat goal were this
years increased carryover, prospects
that the 1913 crop will be the second
largest in the nations history, and
the possibility of smaller foreign de-
mands because of improved crops in
many importing countries.

most widespread wheat disease con-
trolled by seed treatment. When the
soil is not infested, dusts such as
copper carbonate or basic copper sui
fate applied at the rate of 2 ounces
per bushel will readily control the
disease. New improved ceresan ap-
piled at the rate of only X ounce
per bushel controls bunt and a num-
Der of other seed-bone diseases such
as black chaff, basal glume rot, and
various seedlings blights.
Somewhat more expensive, sper-
gon and arasan will control bunt
when applied at the rate of 2 ounces
per bushel."
Grain treated with the new i'm
proved res should be allowed to
stand in sacks at least "a hours be-
fore planting. The treated seed can
be held for several months without
injury.
There are a number of good treat
ing mixers on the market, but salts
factory equipment can easily be
made. A steel barrel fixed to rotate
on an axle will do a good job, or 8
cement mixer is very effective.

Protein Content Less
hi Year Than Last

PROTEIN PERCENTAGES below
last years are indicated for
both spring and winter wheat crops
IN Montana, according to reports of
the Pacific Northwest Crop I'M
provement association and George
H. Moran, chief grain inspector of
the Great Falls grain laboratory.
The final protein average for Mon
tana dark hard winter wheat is 1875
percent, based on 315 samples from
AZ stations in the state. This is be-
low last years figures which were
near IA percent. Test weights for
these samples of winter wheat aver
aged just over go pounds per bushel
which was slightly heavier than last
year. A higher moisture content was
reported from both winter wheat and
spring wheat samples.
Spring wheat reports, not yet COM
plete, indicate a protein average of
1920 percent and test weight of So
pounds per bushel. AS always, the
reports show the lowest protein per-
centages from samples in the Judith
Basin area with increases noted
northward from Great Falls and
highest on the high line, for both
winter and spring wheat.
Last years spring wheat averaged
is percent protein and 81 pounds

the 1935-39 figure. This years ere
ceipts may be the highest ever"
At the same time, the states farm
units have been enlarged, the service
said.
Montana's farm mortgage debt is
600 two years ago. Farm mortgages
being recorded now are in many
cases above the full value of the land
in 1940."
In these uncertain times" the
service recommended that farmers
attempt to increase efficiency of their
holdings, but also attempt to estab-
Gsh larger reserves to protect your
self against continued high operating
costs"
These reserves should be "two or
three times what you considered
adequate before $780," the service
said.
Rural fire controlEWith the peak
of the fire season in rural areas due
to arrive any time now, Montana
counties through organization under
the state rural fire control law and
the purchase of modern fire fighting
equipment are well prepared to cope
with farm, range and forest fires, ac-
cording to George w. G~ustafson,
state co-ordinator of the Montana
rural fire fighters service.
In the past month alone, he said,
number of counties have made SUBJ
stantial additions to their fire fight
ing equipment.
Even though counties are better
prepared to fight rural fires and the
wet summe has greatly lessened the
fire hazard SO far, Gustafson warns
that a period of hot dry weather in
late summe or early fall can still
create a dangerous condition. Fol
this reason he urges that precautions
against fire be continued on farms
crop and range lands and in the
forests.

POTATO LOANS

Loan rates for potatoes, as
nounced by the USDA are $1.35 a
hundred pounds for U. S. No. /
quality in Montana and $1.45 a hun
dred pounds in Wyoming.
ALI loans on the 1913 late crop
will be made through county AGA
committees, who must certify that
the producer desiring a loan is elig-
ible to participate in the 1913 price
support program and that his GER
tificate of eligibility is in full force.
Loans are available from Sept. Is
to Dec. Is. They will mature on de-
mand but not later than April 80,
1949, and bear interest at the rate
of 3 percent a year. Full details are
obtainable at local AGA committee

crimson clover was the same as
the other pasture group except
for the addition of $4.20 for GRIM
son clover seed.
The granted steers sold for
an excess of $232.74 each. Steers
finished on the oat pasture
brought $198.54. and those on the
oat-crimson clover pasture $l98.27.
However, profit on the granted
steers was S64.16 per steer as
compared to $e3.72 and $78.65 for
the p~asture-fed groups,
The p~asture-fed steers were
carrying less finish than the grain
fed steers, as is indicated by the
price received and the difference
in dressing percent which favor
ed the granted steers. How
ever, the pasture steers were
carrying sufficient finish to pro-
duce a very desirable commercial
carcass. The difference in the
cost of the grain made during
the fattening period greatly fav-
ored the pasture steers.
There was little difference in
the daily gain or finish of the
two pasture groups. A poor
stand of oats in the oats-crim-
son clover paddock was partially
responsible for the low gains
made by this group.

State College Experiments Show
Value of Winter Pastures for Finishing

STATE COLLEGE, Miss.-The
value of winter pastures for fin
ishing fall-weaned calves was
shown in tests conducted at the
Experiment Station at State Col
lege last winter and spring.
Three groups of four steers each
were used in the tests which be-
gan December 10. Four of the
steers were fed a full grain RAJ
ton averaging lO.43 pounds of
corn, 81 pounds of cottonseed
meal, and AS pounds of low grade
lespedeza hay daily. They were
confined to a lot, without access
to pasture.
One of the other groups grazed
on oat pasture and the third
group grazed on oats and crimson
clover. Size of the pasture plots
was AT acres.
Steers fed in the dry lot gain
ed an average of 2.49 pounds daily
while the two pasture groups
gained 1872 and 1.79 pounds
daily, respectively. However,
feed for the dry lot group cost
$69.58 per steer and labor valued
at 81 was required to feed each
animal. Expenses for finishing
each steer on oat pasture was
$11.75 for fertilizer, $6.l7 for oats

WHITE STATES JUNEAU RUMP GROUP WAS RUDE AND PROSPEROUS AT SITKA
 CONVENTION

Albert White, General Counsel of the Republican Party of Alaska, before leaving for New Orleans and New York City this week, stated that in reply to statements made by a small group from Juneau, headed by Wm L. Paul, Senior. held 205 made-up proxies and attempted in MT. Paul's own words to take over the Sitka Republican Convention by force if necessary. Some of the group that originated out of Juneau, about four in number, was rude to the out of town delegates to the convention and to the first women that ever attended a Republican Convention Among them, two can- didates for the Senate, one for the House and Mrs. Cal Brosius who came over 1000 miles to attend the convention, by staging lot of con- fusion and noise, the small Juneau group, with the help of about the same number from Sitka, made it plain that rule or ruin policy on their part exists with no delegates from any other district voting with them It would be laughable to ad- init POS proxies made up for another convention to be used for the Sitka Convention to take full control over the 65 Living Delegates present. If that were allowed the people that travelled miles to come from all sec- tions of Alaska would just sit and allow William M. Paul, Senior, to cast the 205 votes and they would have no vote at all However, many other Juneau Delegates were present that extended to the Dele gates from Seward, Cordova, Fair banks, A horage, Ketchikan, Wrangel Skagway and other sec tions we hope a desired courtesy that will not make them feel that William L. Paul, Senior, and his group represented the real feeling of the Juneau people towards visit ors and the women of our Territory.

DODGERS DROP TO CELLAR; DIMAGGI0
 HITS } H0MERUNS
By JOE REICHLER

The managerial "hot seat" was sizzling today under Leo Durocher of the Brooklyn Dodgers and Joe Mccarthy of the Boston Red Sox.
 The Dodgers rock struck bottom yesterday with a resounding crash that could be heard all around Brooklyn. They not only lost their eighth straight when they bowed to Cincinnatfs Reds 6-5, but sank into the National Leagues cellar.
 A stunning double defeat dealt the Red Sox by the tail-end Chicago White Sox dropped them into sev- enth place, only four lengths out of the American Leagues basement.
 Pitching has been Durocher's chief headache.
 Joe Hatten couldn't hold onto so lead yesterday as the Reds stormed from behind to kayo the California Southpaw.
 Pitching could also be blamed for the Red Sox' double abusing yes- terday as late rallies gave the White Sox two 4-3 triumphs.
 A recordbreaking Cleveland d crowd of 78,431 saw Joe DiMaggio steal the thunder from it's home town hero, Bob Teller, as the Yam kees and Indians divided a double header. DiMaggio blasted three aomers, his eighth, ninth and tenth of the season, to account for all his teams runs as the Tanks defeated Teller, 6-5.
 Don Black outhurled Ed Lepat, an old Cleveland Jinx, in the finale, 5-1.

 The National League leading St. Lous Cardinals pounded six Phila- delphia pitchers for 31 hits to win doubleheader for the Phillies, 18-3 and Al.
 The New York Giants defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1, and the Braves moved into a third place tie with Pittsburgh by downing the Chicago Cubs twice in Boston, 8-5 and l2-4.

STRANGE LOVE OF
 MARTHA IVER5' I5 AT 10TH CENTURY

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers," co-starring Barbara Stan wyck, Van Hetlin and Lizabeth Scott, is the attraction at the 20th Century for the last two showing s tonight.
 The Strange Love of Martha Ivers' tells a gripping tale about cold and heartless people who are motivated by an avaricious lust for money and power. and by unihhihit- ed passions that lead to murder, blackmail and deceit.
 Martha's childhood murder of her tyrannical aunt sets the pattern for her sordid life, and for the dramati- cally realistic story that unfolds on the screen.
