Berlin Zoo Faces Trouble

BERLIN II Up - Berlin's deci-
mated but still extremely popular
zoo is planning to cover it's surviv-
ing monkeys with wOolen blankets
If the Soviet blockade holds and the
winter is severe. This was disclosed
by Director Katharine Heimrotb as
she drafted emergency measures to
bring the zoo through its fourth
and perhaps most severe-postwar
winter.
The zoo is in the British sector of
the city and thus with the remain
der of the three western OccuDied
sectors, depends upon tn Anglo
American airlift for supplies. Coal
Will certainly be in shorter sunplv
than ever. Since many of the build
lngs are bOmb-damaged, chill winds
whistle through them and only small
coal stoves are available to warm
the cages. That's where blanket COW
erlngs would come in handy for the
smaller animals, especially the
monkeys.
Winter casualties in the past have
neen heavy. "Siam," the zoos last
elephant, died last winter. He had
sickened from the combined effects
OF age, short diet and cold. Other
casualties in the past postwar win
ters nave been from theft. Hungry
people stole some animals and
Dlrds for food. Berlin's children now
are helping to relieve the zoos food
problems by contributing gatherings
OF acOrns, grass and straw.

Hunters, Beware OF
Tularernia Fever
CONTINUED from nrsr pager

Tularemia is easily passed or
from a rabbit to a person if the
blood or other body fluids from the
internal organs of the sick animal
are smeared on the hands or other
parts of the skin where there is
even minor skin injury such as a
scratch, cut or thorn puncture. One
indication of this disease is whitish
spots on the internal organs of the
rabbit. Such meat should be de-
strOyed.
Rabbit fever iE man is more cas-
lily preYened than cured, says the
State Board of Health, in cautiOning
hunters to be wary of slow moving
and sluggish rabbits. One too tired
to run is probably a sick rabbit that
can spread his disease to human be-
ings.
In addition, the State Board Of
Health discOurages the practice of
removing the entrails from rabbits
when one is in the field. Take the
animals home, advise health ofic-
ials, and put on gloves, preferrab1v
rubber ones, before cleaning the
catch. Afterwards, clean the gloves
with soap and water and wash the
hands thoroughly, too.
When handling rabbits alive or
dead, always keep the hands awav
from the face and eyes, warn health
authorities, since the germs of this
disease can easily penetrate the
delicate membrane which covers the
eyeball and ines the eyelids Of peo-
pie.
AS a final reminder, be careful
not to cut yourself with a knife. !
your skin on broken rib.
Or In some way cause a break in the
skin when cleaning rabbits, SAYS the
state Boardof Health, who adds, the
pest way to avoid tularemia is to
avoid handling wild rabbits with
)are hands and to be sure that rab-
ut meat is thoroughly cooked before
9aten.

Insecticide Plant
Gets More LethaI

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-(Pl-Paint
treated to kill insects becomes more
rather than less poisonous as time
goes on, studies by the University of
Florida indicate. The UniVersity's
engineering and Industrial expert
ment station made tests with insec-
tlcidal paints, lacquers and varnish-
es over a two year period.
1t was observed that the coating
surfaces did not become less toxic
but rather, became more toxic with
age, 5. s. Block Of the experiment
station reported. He said the insec-
tic1de appeared to force itself grad
ually to the surface of the paint to
form tiny crystals. The crystals
were produced because the paint
was so full Of the poison that it
threw some Of it off from time to
time.
Because Of this characteristic, poi
son which was lost through wiDing
or washing the painted surface was
replaced shortly after being re-
moved. One test, made with asphalt
yaFnish mixed with DDT, showed
lhe poison crystals appearing as a
white dust on the surface Of the
painted article.
When the surface was wiped
with a cloth, the crystals were re-
moved and the surface was as black |
os when the coating had been apDIi- I
ed. Within three to four DAYS after
removal of the dust, it had again re-
appeared" Block said. "This prO-
cess was repeated several times
with similar results. Even after
several months, when the same sur
race was again wiped clean, the
crystals of DOT reappeared at the
surface within few days"
Though most of the stations ex-
periments were with DDT. several
other insecticides were tested and
similar results were obtained.
BLOCK said there is no risk of moi
soning people in the use of this
paint. It acts the same as SPRAYS
now used on walls for killing in
sects and is no more dangerous #
the paint should peel and fall off
It Should be kept out of food.

turn annually on the basis of pres
ent wool values.
100000 Acres Salvaged
It has been estimated that fully
100000 acres of abandoned crop
land in Montana have been seeded
to crested wheatgrass. In pasture
experiments at the central Montana
branch station over a period of 10
years, crested wheatgrass produced
1876 pounds of beef per acre as COM
pared to 34.6 pounds of beef from
native grass. This advantage of A
pounds of beef in favor of crested
wheatgrass was worth $11 per acre
IN 1947 on the basis of Is cents per
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-10-01

pound for grass-fat cattle. With
thousands of acres of crested wheat
grass now being %pastured, Montana
stockmen are "cashing in" on the
results of research to regrass aban-
doned crop lands.
Agronomists employed by the
agricultural experiment station have
made it possible to obtain larger
yields of winter wheat by investiga-
tons which resulted in () the de-
velopment of the deep furrow drill,
(2) new and improved varieties, 80
better dates of planting and az inn
proved methods of seed-bed prepa-
ration. If cash benefits of all of this
research were to be determined on
the basis of 10 percent increase in
yield, the increased return would be
around So per acre. This would
amount to approximately $4,000, 900
in extra income annually to only
one-half of Montana's winter wheat
acreage.
H13 of ! Percent Cost
State appropriations to the Mon
tana agricultural experiment station
and its branches for 1947-48 was
$305,300, which was only 113 of l
percent of the gross revenue derived
from the sale of agricultural prod
ucts from Montana's farms and
ranches.
Montanans will have the oppor-
tunity to say whether this agricul-
tural research program has been
worthwhile or not at the November
election when they vote on referen-
dums 81 and So. Referendum 81
seeks an increase of the university
millage tax, which provides salaries,
new equipment, etc., from the pres
ent 3k mills to a maximum of s
mills. Referendum So calls for a
$4,000, 900 bond issue for new build
ings and improvements for the uni
versity system.
The Montana State college and
its agricultural experiment station
share in these measures. 1t may be
~imprudent at this time not to pro-
vide these funds when careful CON
sideration is given to the competitive
position of Montana agriculture il
the not too distant future.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-10-01

duced annually m Montana. Cash
receipts from the sale of the prin-
cipal products of Montana's farms
and ranches IN 1947 was almost
$500, 00O, 900.
Even though agriculture occupies
a position of commanding impor-
lance in the economy of Montana,
the farmers and ranchers of this
state encounter a wide variety Of
problems which necessitate con-
slant study and research. Therefore,
it is entirely appropriate that the
agricultural experiment station of
Montana State college place major
emphasis on agricultural research.
The research program of the ex-
pertinent station is designed pri-
marily to improve the competitive
position of Montana farmers and
ranchers in the markets where their
products must be sold.
Includes Is Units
The experiment station is now
composed of Is research and service
departments and laboratories located
on the campus at Bohemian, and
seven field or branch stations dis
tributed to serve important agricul-
tural or type-of-farming areas of the
state. The work of these research
and service departments and 1abora-
tories and branch stations is care
fully co-ordinated to place emphasis
on the more important agricultural
problems of Montana farmers and
ranchers, and to prevent unneces-
sary duplication.
During its SIS years of service to
Montana agriculture, the agricul-
tural experiment station has made
some notable contributions to the
advancement of agriculture in the
Treasure state. If it were possible to
evaluate each contribution in terms
of financial gain, the total gross
profit returned on the investments
made by Montana legislatures in
the form of biennial appropriations
10 the station and it's branches
would exceed many, many times
their total cost to the state of Mon
tana to date.
100000 Extra Income
Space will permit mentioning
only a few of the accomplishments
of agricultural research from which
residents of Montana have bene-
fitted, either directly OF indirectly
For example, the two new barley
varieties Compana and Glacier, re
leased in 1871 and 1943, respective
ly, have largely replaced varieties
of barley formerly grown in Mon
tana because they yield at least q
percent more than varieties n,
longer recommended.
These two new varieties 1arge1,
account for the tremendous in
creas in Montana's barley acreag
from 1877, 1000 in 1910 to 1877, 900 acre
| in 1913. Estimates place the 1914
Montana barley crop at more tina
100000 bushels, worth aroun
$27,000,000 on the basis of the Jul
Is price of SLIT per bushel. This
conservative to say that these ne'
varieties are responsible for $4,000
600 of increased income to barle
producers in 1948 alone.

REFERENDUM 81 is not q new tax measure. 1t seeks reenoct-
ment and increase of the University miIIoee tox last approved
by the voters in 1910. It seeks to rose the ceiling Of the
University tax TO 6 mills, which would include the present 3N

WHY does the University system need q mitloge increase at
this time? For three reasons: !. EnroIments have nearly
doubled since pre-wor days 1857 in 1910 to IL ,537 in lo47-

 This is very sensible observation reflecting the truth. The Ambassador said thdt Canada wos op- posed to the veto when it began. but accepted it us the necesserY price for agreement. Now. he says, his country hopes for change and. in the medn- time would welcome "some agreement between the powers having the veto. which would limit the occdsioss which the ununmitY of great powers must be secured before decision can be reached "
