Soils and Crops

EROM a SWELL OREAM OF last
month 1 walked out into some real
Montana winter weather. Before that
happened, however, 1 attended the
Montana Certified Potato and Reg
istered Seed show at Kalispell. 1t
was fine weather over there and
over 1900 people attended the show.
This show was sponsored by the
K~alispell Chamber of Commerce,
and during the three days every
member visited the show.
It's always difficult to get a show
of this nature under way, but the
certified potato growers gave it a
kickoff that assured its success from
the start and gave it momentum
which will carry it into a bigger
show next year. AS an example of
what I mean-when the certified
Bliss Triumph class was judged,
every grower who was exhibiting a
sample was there watching the pro-
cedure. No it wasn't just a case of
local growers. They were scattered
all the way from Blaine county on
the north to Dawson county in the
southeastern part of Montana.
And talk about the educational
value of such a show. Every grower
followed the judge through every
sample and by the time the ribbons
were tossed on the winning samples,
most of the growers had placed them
close to the official p~lacings. Frank
Harrington, head of the horticulture
department of the Montana agricul-
tural experiment station judged the
show and after placing the ribbons
or the class of Melted Gems, he
stated that it was one of the best
classes he had judged in Montana.
One of the features of the three
day program was the fund raising
program of the people of Flathead
county to provide their quota for
financing the establishment of a
branch of the Montana agricultural
experiment station in western Mon
tana. The potato exhibits were auc-
toned to the highest bidder, and the
proceeds went into the experimental
station fund. Well sir, those folks
bid themselves proud. The lots of
Is spuds sold for from SIS to $3.50,
and when all lots had been sold the
fund had been increased by 5000.
This show is a wonderful place for
growers to show what they have to
sow. It's a clearing house for a large
portion of the registered and ap-
proved seed available in the state.
Know what you sow!

ers association gets a sample.
3. To be given a trial for a year,
the directors authorized the grading
of lots of seed containing fanweed
above the grade limit to be sold only
in states where fanweed is considered
noxious. This provision was made
because fanweed is listed as noxious
in the Montana seed law, and in only
three states is it considered such.
4. Wisconsin Hybrid No. 279 corn
was placed on the standard list for
certification in Montana.
The directors at the close of the
meeting discussed the "Plant Breed
ers' Building Fund" which is being
sponsored by the Montana Seed
Growers association. This project is
still very much alive and has a long
way to go, but they are confident
that the producers, commercial con-
Germs dealing in agricultural prod
ucts and friends of agriculture will
see the building completed. 1t has
been suggested that those who feel
that from use of foundation seed,
Rescue wheat, Compana barley,
crested wheatgrass or any of the
other numerous commodities there
has been a resulting increase in
value to them that they contribute
a truck load of the additional yield
to this fund. This method has been
suggested by several producers who
have done this very thing. In this
way it's easy to transfer your gains
into terms of a contribution.
TILLAGE
During the past month several
questions have been asked on tillage.
We have asked Torlief AaSheim, as
sistant agronomist, Montana agricul-
tural experiment station, to give the
research angle of most of these.
l. Will shallow tillage leave a
hardpan?
At Froid we have some expert
mental plots which have not been
plowed since 1910. These plots have
been cultivated exclusively with SUBJ
surface tillers during the fallow sea-
son and have been in an alternate
wheat-fallow rotation. There was no
evidence of a hardpan in any of
these plots this fall. These plots
yielded just as high as moldboard
plowed fallow in 1947, indicating
that blowing has not been necessary
for eight years under conditions
which we have had.
During dry periods, however, the

A few weeks ago Max Lowe was a
man with problem. AS the man
in charge of the Shoreham Hotels
entertainment, it was his task to
find some one to follow the De Mar
cos in the Blue Room. This is no
easy problem, to be solved by a
simple phone call to a booking
agency in New York. Steady pa
irons of room are often given to
sitting around comparing this weeks S
show with last weeks, this weeks
usually coming off second best if
last weeks was the De Marcos
They're hard to follow.
Mr.. Lowe tried another dance
team first, then attacked his prob
lem cannily enough with a diver
Sionary maneuver. He went out and
hired the Inka Taxi Trio, so differ
ent from the run-of -night-club en-
tertainment that they couldn't be
compared with anybody you ever
saw before. At the worst, the color
full trio Is decidedly novel entertain
ment for even so well-mannered a
dine-and-dance rendezvous as the
Blue Room. At best, it is a delight
! for all admirers of exotic music in
general and admirers of Peruvian
Indian music in particular. Along
with the Inka Taxi Trio, Mr.. Lowe
brought in standard dance team,
! Gomez and Beatrice, who are all
right, but certainly not above aver
age.
Now, however, the Shoreham's en-
tertainment boss has come up. even
/ if several weeks late, with the dance
team that could follow the De Mar
cos without looking like people
equipped with all left feet. Mario
and Floria will arrive Monday night
at the Blue Room. AS any one who
has seen them on the sEarle Thea
ter's stage or the Statler Embassy
Rooms floor knows, it is pleasure
to watch Mario and Floria dance
They are attractive people and
graceful dancers and they have that
happy knack for appearing to be a
couple of young people having fun
rather than a pair of dancers work
ing for living. 1t will be good to
have them back in Washington for
awhile.

Gen. Parker Inspects
Guard MP Battalion,
Finds Good Soldiers

The young men who joined the
District National Guard before the
new draft law went into effect are
turning out to be good soldiers,
according to high officers.
Maj Gen. Edwin P. Parker, jr..
provost marshal general of the
Army. and Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox,
commanding the District National
Guard. stressed this yesterday, after
making an informal inspection visit
to the 163d Military Police Battalion,
currently in two-week's training en-
campment at Fort Meade, Md.
When questioned by the two gen.
erals, the new soldiers spoke highly
of their courses of instruction, which
include craftsmanship and traffic
control. Various subjects were dis
cussed by the general officers and
the enlisted men when they lunched
together.
The intricacies Of traffic control
and how to keep mobile cannon from
getting lost in the woods were a
special topic Of interest between
Gen. Parker and Corpl. Gordon L..
Carkin, 1404 Tuckernan street NV,
who just enlisted. The corporal
demonstrated a couple of special
control exercises to the chief mill
tary policeman of the Army.
