Good To Hear Both Sides
Vol. 104

GOOD 10 Hear Both Sides
H RECENT discussions which the Council has been
conducting should prove very satisfactory. While these dis
cussions are closed, with the Council in Committee Of the
Whole, yet they provide an opportunity for officials Of the
government and employees to give the Council frst-hand in
formation. 1t is often the case that an employee affected will
take the matter to his friends and acquaintance and discuss
it from his point of view. This, naturally, spreads, and before
long there are as many versions of the story as there are peo-
pie telling the story. It would be most dangerous if members
of the legislature would at this point hasten to the public
rostrum and there blut out what they know only in part.
GRAVE INJUSTICE can be done, and an entire com
munity misled if politicians and those in public lmeight
should fail to fully arm themselves with all the essential facts
before attempting to discuss matters pertaining to Municipal
employees. Recently DR.. Shorney, Chief Municipal Physician
for St, Croix, made many visits to the Council Hall, and there
discussed details Of matters which had come to the attention
of the Council. Discussions were also held with one of the
employees, Mr. Harry Edwards, pharmacist at the Hospital,
and the door is left open for employee, to state their griev-
7nces to the Council, without the presence of the Department
lead to embarras or brighten them in any way. Such a meth
4 gives legislators both sides of the picture, and a fair and
Unbiased opportunity to Judge as they see fit. From what
might have been heard, the Council may be satisfied that it
did not take hasty action.
IN N campaign year it is necessary tina. leaders calm
themselves, and attempt to do Justice to all situations. It is
the time when any and everything takes on added signifi-
canoe, and what would normally 90 by unnoticed in other
years become mountains indeed, even though mere molehiHS.
The tendency to snatch at what sounds sentimental and
emotional is too great to overcome, and politicians run races
to the marketplace, trying to be the first to attack what they
think will attract attention. This is most dangerous, to say
the Least, for one or two instances can take on such signfi-

mellow and free from skinnes and
broken kernels.
Atmospheric conditions and grow
ing habits of barley in Montana are
not conducive to meeting these re-
quirements. It seems sensible for
barley producers in Montana, par
ticularly under dryland conditions,
to produce Compana, which will
outyield any of the mailing types
of barley that have been tested and,
where grown pure, may have some
use for mailing purposes In those
years when the supply of mailing
varieties in the mailing barley area
is short. Then it may be possible
for some of our producers to pick
up a premium for pure, heavy, Com
pana barley.
There are some producers In the
state who have been growing some
of the mailing types which may oc-
casionally be sold as mailing barley,
but the premium they are paid will
not make up for the reduction in
yield. Until varieties other than
those available now are developed,
we will have to consider Montana
as a feed barley producing state.

Nine years work went info She'll ToIono Oil

A hundred or more formulas were de-

One oil, now marketed as Shell

Reduce Seeding Rates
for Grains, Legumes

HOW MUCH GRAIN shall I plant
per acre?
That controversial question is one
that is debated every year by pro-
ducers - and one that revolves
around many factors, discloses F. A.
Chisholm, agricultural extension
service agronomist at the University
of Wyoming.
During the states frontier years,
farmers had an advantage of nat
urally fertile soil, although they had
to plant uncleaned seed. Now, grain
seed is cleaner generally, but some
of the soils natural fertility is gone.
To compensate for this loss of fer
tility, producers are sowing their
grains according to the thumb rules
of a bushel and a peck of wheat,
three to four bushels of oats and
two bushels of barley to the acre.
Lower Rates in Fertile Soil
These seeding rates, however, may
be too heavy, Chisholm states, be-
cause sufficient evidence has been
gathered to indicate that smaller
amounts can be planted in fertile
soil if the seed is clean and high
In termination.
To further determine proper
amounts, Chisholm revealed that
many county agricultural agents
have set up demonstrations in Wyo-
ming using 80 to so pounds of seed
per acre for wheat, oats and barley.
Growers throughout the state are
watching these test plots with inter
est.
Chisholm continued by stressing
that when grain is being seeded as
q nurse crop for alfalfa and meadow
mixtures, only a small part of the
regular amount is needed. In fact,
most Wyoming soils do not require
a nurse crop with legume and grass
seedlings, although this practice
may be adopted if grain is needed
for livestock feeding or if the soil
blows readily.
Alfalfa Rates Change
The rates of sowing for alfalfa
seed have changed greatly through
the years, too, he explained. Twenty
pounds per acre was standard, bu
now most growers plant IL to 1!
pounds; those who plant certified
blue and red tag seed are usinl
8 to IL pounds. For a seed crop, a
little as l to 2 pounds sown in row
is becoming a common practice.

Midnight Snack
Makes Fatter Pigs

CHICAGO (U.P.)-Robert Tur-
ner has set up a midnight snack
bar for his pigs.
1t consists of self-feeders set
up in field under a battery of
lights.
Turner's pigs enjoy their night
life and make pigs of themselves.
They get fat more quickly, too.
which is the main idea.
Turner conceived the snack
bar during a heat wave. His
hogs were dining in daylight but
were gaining little weight.
Since he established nighttime
lceding, Turner said the pigs
sleep under shade trees during
he day.
The pokers are awakened
every night at 10 o'clock when
he lights go on in the snack
bar. They roll over, blink, grunt
and waddle to the self-feeders.
At 2 a. m. they are reused
again for another snack bar sess-
ION.
Turner said that between July

eained an average of a pound
and half per day, 10 to 20 per
cent above the usual gain.

But with lessened work has

Farm modernization also has
come long way. Electricity is

pendent newspaper, recently de-
clared for Dewey on the basis
that Mr.. Truman had shown his
incapacity as President.
In Mr.. Truman favor is the
presence OF Forrest Smith on the
state slate as a candidate for
governor. He has been State Au-
ditor for fourteen years, and is
a super votegetter, even running
ahead of F. D. R. He is an old
age pension advocate, and has
signed many benefit checks for
years.
Nevertheless, as the fairly
l>avy betting indicates, Miss 4
ri stands on the political border
line.
INTERIOR The Principal
Cabinet squabble in the event of
Dewey-Warren triumph will
undoubtedly involve the choice
of a satisfactory man for Score
tary of the Interior. With CAY
fornia's Governor expected to
enable the G. o. P. to sweep the
Western Empire, and also GER
tain to become an important fug-
ure in the presidential family,
that section will demand this
job,
Governor Dewey has said that
he wants regional expert on
western problems for this post.
This statement seems to dispose
of the principal claimants, who
are now Representative Ben
Jonson of Iowa and former Ohio
representative, Robert E. Jones
now on the Federal Comm lea
tons Commission. This area al
ways complained because Roose-
Welt uman men were Harold
L. Ickes of Illinois and j. A.
Krug of Wisconsin. To the Rocky
Mountain and coastal int ests
they were Fasteners.
CANDIDATE The Dewey
difficulty selecting a westerner
lies in the fact that almost every
state will present its own candi-
date. They have done so already
and the prospect of an intra-
party row of major proportions
threatens.
Likely bet now would be Sen
ator William F. Knowland of Cal
ifornia, provided he could quit
the upper chamber. But should
jealousies and rivalries become
too bitter in the section most in
terested in conservation and eX-
pansion problems, Mr.. Dewey
might find it advisable to keep
out of trouble by looking else
where. Under these circum-
stances, strange as 1t may seem,
there is talk Of Robert Moses of
New York, a Smith-Roosevelt-
LaGuardia-Ickes man, for the
post.

Court 10 Issue Injunction
In Curtiss- Wright Row

WILMINGTON, Del, May L.
Chancellor w. w. Harrington said
he would sign q temporary injunc-
ton today to restrain a Curtiss-
Wright Corp. common stockholders
group from holding a recessed ses-

The group, headed by T. Roland

the meeting for today. MIR. Berner
contends that directors were not
properly named at the manage
ment's meeting April 81.
The chancellor's announcement
was mace yesterday after counsel
for the committee and attorneys for
five corporation stockholders who
seek the injunction failed to agree
on the form it should take.
Earlier the court of chancery
barred the common stockholders
committee from entering about 40,-
600 proxies as evidence in the pro-
ceedings. The committe claims the
proxies represent more than A.

The chancellor told the commit

those proxies which were received
and present at the April 81 meeting.

Trip 10 West Coast
Is Not POLITICAL

President Truman's forthcoming
speaking tour through the West is
mot a political trip" Press Secre-
tary Charles G. Ross said today.
He told reporters the President "is
appearing nowhere under political
auspices"
Mr.. Ross comment was prompted
by criticism from Democratic quar-
ters in Los Angeles. Rollin L..
McNitt, chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Central Committee,
said the President had been in
vited to be the guest Of the or
ganization, but that the invitation
seemingly had been ignored.
Mr.. Ross was asked whether he
knew anything about that situation,
bat said he knew no more than
President Truman had said yester-
day when he told a news conference
questioner that a luncheon invita-
ton from the Greater Los Angeles
Press Club was the only one he had
received from that city.
Mr.. Truman will address the
club June IA.
Mr.. Ross asked how he would
describe the trip As not political
replied that 1t is rather hard to
oraW the line but that it is not a
campaign trip in the sense that
the President is going out and make
speeches under political auspices
Mr.. Ross said Mr.. Truman would
make at least one major speech

others. There would be a number
