 The Security Council called meeting for tomorrow to take ut Egypt's complaint that Israel IS continuing fighting in the Negev Desert of Southern Palestine, de- spite acceptance of a U. N. cease fore order U. N. truce observers said the Jews were attacking on the Negev A hours after the peace deadline
 A U. N. spokesman said severe fighting also was on in Northern Palestine and that the Jews had bombed and shelled Lebanese towns. Neither side appeared to have made much gain. The Russians threatened to prosecute six anti-Communist city government leaders in Berlin for war mongering," The German Socialists replied defiantly the So- viet action was intended to terror ize the city the Russians have failed to starve out. The Russians 1 would not comment on reports that German Gen. Walther von Seyd- ' litz, founder of Moscows Free Germany" movement, was fired on in Brandenburg.
 The Dutch Army said the In- donesian Republic has put down a Communits revolution on Java. The revolt broke out Sept. l9. The Korean Army said only mopping up remained. in putting down the revolt in South Korea, for which Communists were blamed. Chinese Communists pressed upon Taiyuan, capital of Shansi. Bad flying weather preventing reinforce ments made the Loyalist condition worse.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-04-15

In making this observation on
volunteer crops we must not re-
call only the experiences of the first
year of dry farming when it was
possible to produce two crops in
succession. We must consider the
present conditions after 20 to 80
years of cropping. We have few ex-
amples of two crops in succession,
for we know it will not be success
full. Even on irrigated land the sec
ond and third crops following a
legume crop show the great lack of
fertility.
Conversion of Plant Material
During the summerfallow process
great things are going on in the ap-
parently restful land. The principal
activity is the conversion of inert
plant material to useful forms.
Nitrogen and the minerals are re-
leased by the decomposing action
of bacteria. The insoluble minerals
also release phosphorus, potassium
and small amounts of other materials
used by the wheat plant.
A small amount of nitrogen is
fixed from the air by bacteria. How
ever, the nitrogen gained by this
process is said to be very small, and
some authorities question if there
is any nitrogen gained in this way.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-04-15

Another small amount of nitrogen
is carried down as ammonia by rain
fall. Decomposing animal and vege-
table material give off ammonia into
the air, and lightning oxidizes a
small amount of elemental nitrogen
to nitrate, which is carried down in
rain water with the ammonia. Even
though these sources of new material
are hardly measurable they help to
maintain the fertility.
Green Manure
Another important source of nitro
gen for crops is through the legumes.
The use of the legumes as green
MANURE crops on dry land has not
been fully appreciated. Eventually
green manures will be widely used
to keep the dry lands in production.
There have been a few disappoint-
ing experiences with this practice,
but nevertheless it must be adopted
sooner or later.
Extreme drouth at seeding time,
causing loss of the stand, or at the
time the crop is to be summerfal-
lowed under a dry spell makes it
difficult to carry out the plan. Also
drouth during the growth of the
crop following green manure may
cut the yield below normal, but even
with these handicaps, green manure

By JESSE GREEN

TN THE PAST there has been a great disregard for the fertility of
4 our dry lands. There was plenty of land. ALI anybody cared about
wa rain. Actually. w are now faced with a major problem of MAIN
tanning fertility o dry lands. On irrigated lands there LII several
ways of maintaining fertility. but o n dry lands there is n o present
plan TO add TO the soil the materials we III taking away from year TO
yea. No n materials III brought to the land.
As seen by the writer the future of dry lands depends upon a plan
10 use the legumes IS green manure in connection with mineral ferhE-
GERS applied with the seed at planting time. The minerals will be nj
trates and phosphate especially. The need for potash has not yet been
fully proven but eventually this mineral will also have to be added.
When drouth and low prices come again. the poorer dry lands will
have TO be retired for short periods. On the whole. green manures
along with the use of commercial fertilizers will make il possible for
the dry farmer TO hold his own.
