low the cultivated depth. With sub
surface tillage this hard soil will be
closer to the surface than where the
ground is moldboard plowed. The
important thing as I see it is to have
the ground in such condition that
there is enough mulch on top for 4
seeded.
2. Compare trashy fallow with
turning under the stubble?
Tillage implements are now avail
able which leave nearly all crop resi-
dues on top of the ground. Naturally
after the ground has been worked
a few times the stubble breaks up
some, but there is still more wind
protection than where the stubble
is plowed under.
At Froid we have had some wind
erosion on all plots except those
which have been sub-surface titled.
There has been no evidence of wind
erosion on any sub-surface titled
plots. The sub-surface titled plots
have often looked quite black be-
cause the stubble turns dark toward
the end of the fallow season. For
this reason we often have more pro-
lection from wind erosion than we
think.
AS far as the fertility problem is
concerned, nc doubt the return of
all straw to the ground by use of
combines is helping to maintain fer
tility.
3. What percent of the stubble
cover goes off into the air and
what percent goes into the
ground?
Wheat straw is very low in nitro
gen., but most of what is there is
returned to the soil along with all
mineral constituents. During the
process of decomposition losses that
pass into the air are mostly carbon
dioXide.
a. What should be used TO sup
plement crested wheatgrass pas
ture during the summer period?
Crested wheatgrass has been used
primarily for early spring and late
fall pasture to supplement the ma
tive range. If range is not available,
sweet clover or alfalfa will usually
extend the grazing season.
S. What about flax-oats combina-
lion on old ground?
Under irrigation the flax-wheat
mixture has given a very satisfactory
yield and held down the weed
growth. A combination of crops I'M
der dryland conditions depends on
the available moisture. Under aver
age conditions this system doesn't
produce satisfactory yields of either.
If such a combination is used the
usual rates of seeding of each sep
arately should be reduced by half.
s. How about doubling the
width of strips and seeding mil
let in rows like corn in the EN-
ter of each fallow plot?
The practice of seeding rows Of
corn or millet through the center Of
fallow strips with the idea of in
creasing the width of strip has its
limitations. There is nearly the same
inconvenience in cultivating such g
set-up during the fallow season and
you don't have the protection in the
spring of the year when it is Otter
most badly needed. At harvest time
there would be a slight advantage

ISAAC BEEN WRITES or PROGRESS IN BIBLE INST.

Isaac Eben writes from the Covenant Bible Institute at Una lakleet that the second half of the course of study is over and has meant a great deal to all the students enrolled. He states that nine communities are represent ed among the sixteen students and a faculty of four gives them a full program of study, including bible study, church history, speech, English, music, and health study. Although he has been ill part of the time, Isaac feels he has de- rived great deal of good from the course and wishes more of the young people could avail themselves of the opportunity.

IL Of IA Executed.
OF these IA, IL have been SEN
fenced to death and executed.
Since the Cominform's quarrel
with Tito began IN March, and
trials were instituted in April, it is
fair to assume that these men were
executed because they were involved
in conspiracy against Tito's
regime. They were all old Moscow
agents. Janko Pufler, for instance,
had been chief of the Communist
execution squads in the Spanish civil
war, and later had performed the
same services for the cause else
where in Europe and the Far East.
The others, too, had long records

Of similar activity for Moscow.
But conspiracy against the state
is not what was charged against
them. Tito had something else he
could bring up whenever he wanted
to rid himself of these men whom
he had elevated to high position.
All IA of them had been SIS agents
in Dachau.
When the Germans began to be
pressed for concentration camp Off
GERS, they selected inmates, to serve
under a German camp commandant.
The work attracted low brutal types
Communists accepted the positions.
AS new prisoners arrived they could
discriminate in favor of authentic
Communists, loyal to Moscow, and
other poor wretches. They thus
aided the Germans to kill of per-
sons who. since they were not Com
munists, were as dispensable in their
eyes as In Himmler's.
Gangster History.
In the trials, Juranicz, the foreign
office official, confessed to having
belonged to the scientific section of
the staff at Dachau and to have
killed thousands of prisoners with
his own hands. Dill and Barlc were
in the same service, under the no.
torious German war criminal, Pro-
fessor Schnelling. condemned to
death by the Americans. Presterl
confessed that, in the service of
Himmler, he had put to death sew
eral thousand European intellec-
tuals.
1t may be argued that the trials
were a fake. as Communist trials
are invariably held "for political
considerations" as Mr.. Vishinsky so
candidly admitted at the Danube
Conference. The same Communists
who upheld the trial of Mikhailovich
as perfect justice will accuse Tito
of falsifying the facts. But intro
