Torrington and Worland and about
rs tons per acre at Powell.
Applying the ammonium nitrate
in two separate doses, half at plant
ing time and half at thinning time,
did not seem to make much differ
ence at Torrington and Worland. At
Torrington, the increase was slightly
greater for plots which received the
nitrate half at seeding time and half
at thinning time. At Worland the
everse vas true. At Powell, some
what larger yields came from plots
receiving the fertilizer at two separ-
ate intervals.
Potash Gypsum Poor
Three other fertilizers were also
tested at Worland and at Powell.
The three were potash, gypsum, and
lime refuse. Results from all three
were generally poor, except for lime
refuse at Powell. The plot getting
300 pounds of lime refuse at Powell
produced ID tons more beets per
acre than the untreated check plot.
These tests are by no means final.
The series is being repeated again
this summer. While the general
need for phosphorus and nitrogen is
expected to appear again this sea-
son, it is possible that some of the
fertilizers may show to better adj
vantage and some to a poorer adj
vantage than a year ago. The thing
to remember is that every soil has
some peculiarities of its own and
that it may respond better to one
type Dr. combination of fertilizer,
while land just over the hill may
respond better to another type.

EAIRLY warm, dry and a trend to windy weather is the outlook for
We are approaching the equinox with autumn beginning Sept %, and
this year the tendency will be to a considerable amount of windy, I'm
settled weather around the equinox period. High and low barometrlc
disturbances will be Of the increase and air circulation will be more
rapid, resulting in farreachng effects on the prevailing air move
ments.
strongest equinocial winds are expected from the west and north
westerly directions. This situation will increase the probability of
early frosts in connection with cool air masses from the northwest
The most likely frost periods in the Montana-Wyomingr region are the
18th to 18th, 2st to 25th and again at the close of the month.
Despite the stronger barometric changes, which in turn means more
storm activity during this period, the general indications are for con-
tnued dry weather through September. 1t should be favorable for
harvesting but adverse for fall blowing and starting fall sown crops.
Weather Changes
The weather pattern will be one of many fluctuations in tempera-
lures, some very hot days, fairly cool nights, and a moisture picture
that is hardly worth describing. The period is expected to begin warm
but turn cooler in northwestern Montana about the 10th, reaching
northern Wyoming within a day.
Warmer, unsettled weather is due about the 10Th throughout Mon
tana Farmer-Stockman territory, followed by a storm disturbance
about a day later and light O scattered precipitation. Much lower
temperatures are indicated by the 21t, continuing to the 25th. Warm
unsettled weather is due back again about the 10th in connection with
a disturbance and possibly some moisture to cross the area about a
day later. Somewhat cooler weather should reach western Montana
about the 18th, promptly covering Montana and Wyoming with fair
weather, cold nights and moderately warm days to the 1st of October.
Temperatures: Above normal Precipitation: Below normal

fairly well supplied with organic
matter. At Powell, where there Is
no record of any fertilizer ever hav-
ing been applied, Il tons of manure
produced 17.011 tons of beets per
acr compared with 14.795 tons of
beets on land getting six tons of
manur per acre.
Fortifying manure with super
phosphate is considered good prae-
tice. At Worland and Powell, where
the soil was in need of fertilizer,
adding 140 lbs. of treble superphos-
phate to six tons of manure increased
beet yields 1.176 and 1854 tons of
beets per acre, respectively. At Tor
rington, on the more fertile soil
there, the added phosphate had lit
tie or no effect on beets getting
manure.
Phosphate Used Alone
Phosphorus by itself gave a small
increase in yields at Torrington and
at Worland. At Powell, it gave a
rather remarkable increase alone.
This increase was a little more than
can be expected under most condi-
tons, and may have been due to
some factors which it was not pos
sible to control in the experiment.
Combinations of nitrogen and
phosphorus fertilizers appeared to
give the best results at Worland and
Torrington, but for some reason fell
somewhat short of a straight phos-
phorus OF straight nitrogen treat
ment at Powell. At Torrington, the
highest yield obtained from any of
the nine treatments came from the
combination of 200 lbs. of am
monium nitrate and 800 lbs. of am
monium phosphate per acre. The
combination increased beet yield.

Fumigate Stored Wheat
for Insect Control

WITH A RECORD grain crop on
hand and much of it stored on the
farm, producers are keeping an eye
on their bins for possible insect i'm
festation.
According to o. B. Hitchcock, as
sistant state entomologist, growers
should examine their bins at least
once a month and check for signs of
excess moisture, heating and pres
ence of insects themselves.
Ordinarily, in the cool, dry
weather that prevails m Montana,
insects are not a serious threat to
grain that has been properly stored.
However, laboratory tests have
shown that moisture content was
higher than usual in most grain this
year and the possibility of infesta-
ton exists.
If signs of infestation are dis
covered, control measures should be
started at once. Hitchcock reports
that a fumigant consisting of three
parts by volume of ethylene di-
chloride and one part of carbon
tetrachloride gives good results. This
mixture is on the market under
trade names and there are other
commercial fumigants that are eff
fective.
The fumigant should be applied
at the rate Of six gallons per 1000
bushels Of grain. For best results
the bins should be as near air tight
as possible. The grain surface
should be level and at least 6 inches
below the top of the bin. The fumi-
CANT may be sprayed or sprinkled
over the surface of the grain. Tenn
peratures should be between SIS and
rs degrees.
Since the fumigant is poisonous
to man as well as insects, care should
be taken that the fumes are not in
hailed. Best precaution is to wear
a gas mask when applying the fumi-
CANT.

increase in beet yields of any Of the
treatments used, 4.378 tons per acre.
Although falling short of either a
nitrogen or a phosphate treatment,
the combination of the nitrate and
phosphate increased beet yields at
Powell about four tons per acre.
Ammonium phosphate also repre-
sents a nitrogen and phosphorus
combination. Bearing out the re-
suits secured with nitrate and phos-
phate, it gave good results at all
three points, increasing beet yields
about 3.3 tons per acre at Torring-
ton, 80 tons at Worland, and 7.8 tons
at Powell. The Powell increase is
unusually large, and it is not likely
that so spectacular an increase can
be looked for under most farm con-
ditions.
Nitrogen Helps All Beet Yields
Nitrogen fertilizers, with one ex-
ception, showed up favorably at all
three locations in the experiments.
This suggests a rather general need
for nitrogen fertilizers on most
Wyoming sugar beet soils, whether
the nitrogen is applied as barnyard
manure or as purchased commercial
fertilizers. The one exception to the
rule was ammonium sulphate. This
fertilizer increased beet yields bet
ter than rs tons per acre at Tor
rington, but showed no effect at
Powell and Worland. In fact, the
ammonium sulphate application ac-
tually resulted in lighter yields than
when no treatment was used at the
latter two points.
Ammonium nitrate fertilizer ap.
piled at a rate of 1875 lbs. to tht
acre gave good results at all three
points. 1t increased beet yields
little less than two tons per acre a

SUGAR BEET GROWING in
Wyoming Is being done on a wide
variety of soils. Because of the vary
ing soil types, the fertilizer require
ments are not always the same for
every sugar beet field. One field
may respond to nitrogen, to
phosphorus, and one to
Just how varied these require
ments may be is revealed in a re-
port issued by the Wyoming expert
ment station this spring. The report
covers a series of fertilizer trials
which the station conducted at Wor-
land, Powell, and Torrington in 1947.
The trials were carried on in CO.
operation with the beet sugar de-
velopment foundation at Fort Cob
Inns, Colorado.
Use Nine Treatments
Nine fertilizer treatments were
used in the tests, in comparison with
plots which received no fertilizer.
The nine different treatments and
the rate of application per acre fol-
low: (1) treble superphosphate, 140
lbs; (2) II tons of manure; (3) six
tons of manure; (4) six tons of ma
nure and 140 lbs. of superphosphate;
(5) 1876 lbs. ammonium nitrate,
one-half at planting time and
one-half at thinning time; (6) 375
lbs. ammonium phosphate; CD 800
lbs. ammonium sulphate; (8) 200 lbs.
ammonium nitrate and 300 lbs. am
monium phosphate; and (9) 1876 lbs.
OF ammonium nitrate at planting
time. The best response to the use
of fertilizers was obtained at Powell.
Here, on a medium clay loan,
underlain by medium gravel, the
nine different treatments resulted in
an average production of 1904 tons
of beets per acre. Land receiving no
fertilizer at Powell produced only
1850 tons per acre. This land has
been part of the public domain.
There is nc record of any previous
fertilizer treatment, and the soil
undoubtedly is badly lacking in the
necessary plant food minerals.
The test plots at Worland were ir
a fair state of fertility, with some
history of fertilizer application. The
average sugar beet production on the
fortified plots was 1888 tons PEI
