leaders of Thailand (Siam) have
been told by Defense Minister 1t
Gen. Luang Chart Nakrob they
must not NEEDLE in internal poll
tics because il is their duty to
prepare themselves for "the cold
war that lies ahead"
AT present, the struggle is
now merely verbal one between
those supporting opposing politi-

% lieutenant colonies just grad

lege.
Each day this verbal struggle
can be seen developing into
what in the near future will be a
real struggle of force. Once the
struggle has begun, there can be
little question that Siam will be
involved. Therefore, we must pre-
pare. We must be on the alert.
In preparing for this Struggle,
we must be careful not to med
die in internal politics or allow
ourselves to be instruments of
politicians.
Our ideal must be that as
soldiers we are not to NEEDLE in
politics and to see that politics
does not NEEDLE with the armed
forces"

Fertility and Feed Values
BY RALPH MERCER

tural experiment station says: at
is difficult to answer your question,
How late can fall wheat sprout in
the spring and still produce a crop?'
Low temperatures are recognized as
being essential for breaking the dor
nancy period of winter wheat. Tenn
perature requirements may vary
with each variety in intensity and
length.
"When fall wheat is seeded in the
spring it does not head because the
temperature requirements are not
met. However, if wheat terminates
in the fall and energies the next
spring it will probably head and pro-
duce a crop.
eff your wheat terminated last fall
you are probably assured of a crop.
If it terminated early this spring
and benefited from the cool tenn
peratures, it may also head. How
ever, if termination occurred within
the last two or three weeks, it is
doubtful if the crop will produce
any heads.
Il hope this will give you some help
in deciding what you should do. If
the stand is satisfactory I would be
inclined to advise that you leave it
in, since winter wheat usually pro-
duces a better crop than spring
wheat"

Soils and Crops

forage values around TGcenCly J.
talked to Joe Asleson, assistant
%agronomist of the soils department,
Montana State college. He indicated
that within certain limits the feed
ing value of feed and forage crops
is determined by the supply of fer
tilizer elements in the soil. When a
soil is deficient in one or more es-
sential elements the supply is not
balanced for the needs of the par
ticular crop being grown.
Commercial fertilizers, m a n
and green manure crops (plowed
under at the proper stages of growth)
al go a long way in producing crops
of increased food value. Nitrogen
fertilizers have increased the pro-
tein content of hay and pasture
grasses substantially, and in areas
where phosphorus is deficient,
phosphate fertilizers have as much
as doubled the phosphorus content
of legumes such as alfalfa.
Such a response to fertilizers is
not always evident in increased
yields but it often results in in
creased palatability of the feed. Cat
tie will almost always Craze off the
fortified portion of a pasture in pref
rem to the unfertilized portion.
Small areas of Montana are so
deficient in phosphorus that cattle
in those areas suffer from phos-
phorus deficiency. This deficiency
is so severe that cattle chew bones
as a source of phosphorus.
On an extremely deficient soil,
fertilizer application may result in
a definite yield increase but not in
a pronounced change in percentage
composition.
The information which Asleson
was talking about applies to land
under irrigation as well as where
there is enough annual rainfall to
get maximum response from fer
~tilizers. Present information indi-
Gates that the use of fertilizers on
land where the annual rainfall is
less than 20 inches produces vary
ing results and only in years of high
rainfall during the growing season
r there responses that will pay for
the fertilizers.

Mccormick Beet Harvester
Reduces Harvesting Costs u to "

According to growers reporting to the United States Department Of
Agriculture, the use of the Mccormick Sugar Beet Harvester makes
possible labor savings of % over hand labor methods of harvesting.
This tme-saving, labor-saving machine tops, lifts, cleans, and car
rs the beas until they can be loaded into a truck at the end of the
field. This "once-over' operation reduces harvesting costs up to 500.
In favorable operating conditions you can harvest up to 81 acres a
day. In adverse conditions, two men remove the beGs from the sort
ing belt and permit clods, mud and trash to go overheard"
See your International Harvester deoIer. He will be glad to give
you full information about the Mccormick Sugar Beet Harvester.
