with a high nitrate content, within a
day or so after it has been wet by
rain or snow. But not all oat-hay, by
any means, run high IN potassium
nitrate, and oat-hay with a normal
nitrate content may be safely fed,
wet or dry. Tests conducted at vari-
GUS experiment stations indicate that
from NJ to NV potassium nitrate
in oat-hay may be considered in the
tanning 30 or 80 nitrate may pro-
duce poisoning whether wet or dry.
In the course of these various
analyses of oat-hay it was noted
that the nitrate content varied wide
ly from one field to another, or from
n part of a field to another part
of the same field. Not enough SAM
ping and testing has yet been done
to straighten out this puzzle, but it
is well established that we must take
hay samples from many places in
an oat-hay stack, and make a COM
posite sample, in sending in oat-hay
for nitrate analysis.
1t was also found that a stack Of
hay that had killed cattle was often
fed out later, without loss of stock;
that the nitrite was not stable, but
was further converted into ammonia
compounds and then lost. So the
dangerous period might be said to
exist for three or four days after the
hay was wet, and then disappear.
But this is mostly theory. No one
in his right mind would feed hay
that had just killed At COWS, and
caused abortions in a dozen others,
to other cows a week later. Or at
the best, only after feeding it first
to Gull a worthless cow or heifer to
see what would happen.
Difficult Problem
From our viewpoint, it is not &
satisfactory problem to investigate
Not much oat-hay is put up, mos
of that which is cut, is harmless
and of the losses that do occur, only
a small number are reported, or arr
reported too late for us to make de
pendable analyses. Thus it may b.
some years before a definite state
ment can be made on all the angle
of oat-hay poisoning.
Yet we believe that if any sizab1
tonnage of oat-hay is put up, and
to be fed to breeding cattle, it woul
be smart to make up a 10 pound ha
sample, composed of handfuls of ha
from all parts of the stack or stack
and send it to the Department
Chemistry, Montana State Colleg
for nitrate analyses. If the repo
indicates 1h% or over, of ~potassiu
nitrate, then it would DE definite
unsafe to feed. Oat-hay is not Il
only forage that has a high sal
peter content, but it is one that
most often stored for winter feed.
Now we are wondering how mu
of our supposed prussic acid poiso
ing might really have been nitri
poisoning. In a lot of these sorghu
and sugar cane, Kaffir corn, AFRO
grass, chokecherry, ETC., losses,
found enough cyanide to kill e
plants. In some cases we had WI

wedding anniversary this Wednes-
day. They were married December
Is, 1895 in the Methodist church
here. Mrs. Bogart is the former
Lulu Augsburger, daughter of Mr..

Bogart's parents were Mr.. and Mrs.

That handsome holly wreath at
the Ralph Badertschers on South
Jackson street was sent by his
cousin, Mrs. Fern McCollogh of
Arlington, state of Washington, and
fashioned from native grown holly.
Besides the usual dark holly is an
other variety of holly with the usual
red berries but with edges of the
leaves tinged delicate brown. This,
together with pine cones, makes an
altogether most attractive ensemble.
Bear meat-and plenty of it will
be the main item of a potluck sup

soloist here Sunday afternoon, was
also soloist in the evening for the

the daughter of the former Martha

Of the true mark, one way or the

Bureau counted illiterates merely
by asking people if they could read

couldn't they were CLASSIFIED as il

fed people by their degree of edu-

the estimate that there are 10000
600 people without the equivalent

During the war the Army used
the fourth grade as the dividing
line between literary and illiteracy.
This was based on the wartime ex-

$5OO,OOO Paid
For Dead Cats

SAN FRANCISCO (P) -
California has paid out half a mil
lion dollars for 10000 dead noun
tain lions since the bounty system
was set up in 1907. The 1O,OOOth
bounty has been paid to a Mendoc-

Division of Fish and Game, which
estimates that one of the big cats
has been killed every 80 hours, on
the average, during the past two
generations.
The cost is regarded as cheap.
Lion killing, combined with better
enforcement of game laws, has

BY FRANK NJ. LEONARD

WA SHINGTON, D. c. In a
speech in Nebraska on April S.
l948, Governor Thomas E. Dewey
said:
"One great job cut out for the
next national administration is to
reverse the curve of declining soil
fertility and see to it that we real
ly get 100 cents worth of conserva-
ton for every dollar spent ="
Sound, constructive foresightcd-
ness.
Gov. Dewey, as next President of
the United States, will find that the
6Oth Congress has properly pre-
pared for the carrying out of such
a program.
1t appropriated total of 1882
2lO,877 for reclamation. The total
represents more than three times
the greatest amount ever apprOp-
rated by New Deal Congress for
this important work.
The same Republican Congress
voted a total of S41 million dollars
for the development of power in the
reclamation and soil conservation
programs. This is nearly four times
the amount the New Dealers an
propriated for such development of
I resources.
The SOth Congress completed the
for protection and de-
Velopment of the nations most vi
tai resources by apprOpriating 1911
million dollars for irrigation. This
was nearly six times as much as
the New Dealers felt inclined to
spend on irrigation in any one year.
In those years when New Deal
Congresses trivial amounts for the
tremendous job of providing for
Americas future, the same Con-
crosses were apprOpriating money
by blank check to the cause of rak-
ing leaves and creating the greatest
national debt in the history of the
world.
How different from the 8Oth Con-
gress, which by application of
sound business principles, was able
to make satisfactory strides to-
ward reversing the curve of de-
clining soil fertility" make a siz-
able payment on the debt, give the
nation. its proper military strength
and CUT TAXES.
This record of the 8Oth Congress
Will go far toward revealing the
failure Of the CONGRESSES for the IA
years preceding the 8Oth Congress-
10 meet their OBLIGATIONS to the fu-
ture of the nation despite unpre-
;edented expenditures.
Such contrasts in Congressional
records as revealed bv the reclama-
ion programs of the Goth Congress
rs against New Deal Congresses
Will also go a long wav toward do
ermining in the peOnle's minds
which was the worst Congress"

COMPARING THE '4O'S WITH THE POS
There is considerable difference between the
boom period of the past ten years and the So
called Coolidge boom of the twenties. The
prosperity period of the twenties was a post
war boom eliminating in a period of drastic
uncontrolled stock market imitation and fren-
zled speculation. The business of the last ten
years consisted of a war and postwar boom
eliminating in a period of uncontrolled wage
imitation which may result in a similar col
lapse.
During both the early 2O's and 4O's peace
time goods were reduced to a minimum Great
ing pent-up demand for consumers goods
which to this day is not completely satisfied
Thls is further being aggravated somewhat
now by stOckpiling of war material again and
the shipping of billions Of supplies to EurODe
So far there is as yet no OverproductiOn of

the supply is beginning to catch up with the
