Coalition in France
Gets New Test TODAY
In Election Windup
BY the Associofsd Press

PARIS. Mar. 26.-One of West.
ern Europe's great political com.
promises gets a fresh test to.
morrow in the second serving OF
a French election.
The voting is for 785 local po-
litical posts.
The compromise is the middle
of-the-road French government
which is a coalition of four par
ties.
The test comes from the as
sault on this government by the
Communists, on the left, and the
followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, on the right. Both want
to upset the government, but for
different reasons.
1923 Seats Filled.
I The election began last Sun
day, but only 1913 of 1903 seats
in the general councils were filled
because an absolute majority was
required for election. The coun-
Gil posts are on the county gov
ernmental level and do not carry
much power. However, the cleo
ton is regarded as political
WeatherWane.
Tomorrow. the candidates get
ting the most votes in the run-of
win.
Last week, the government bloc
of parties got SLIP per cent OF
the vote. Gen. De Gaulle's French
Peoples Party got 1884 per cent
and the Communists, 1884 per
cent.
The coalition government of
Premier Henri Queuille is made
up of Radical Socialists (mod-
euates); the Catholic, Popular
Republican Movement; the So
cialists, and the rightist Repub-
lican Liberty Party.
Differ In Many Ways.
These parties differ on many
questions-religion, how much
state planning is good for France
what to do with Germany. how to
handle the war in Indo-China.
But for seven months they have
compromised their differences
and have kept in Office a cabinet
headed by Premier Queuille which
has brought France a long way
toward recovery and stability.
Tomorrow will be a test of
whether this coalition is more
than a superficial structure.

tinued payments at the old rates

local Office followed national policy
in making the overpayments that

have resulted from changes in the
status of a veteran, not reported

FARMERS FORM
GLOVER CLUB"
New Castle County Farmers
Form Club to Get Bet
ter Pastures
PLANT LADINO CLOVER


A 'Ladino Clover Club" is being
formed for farmers in New Castle
County, to help them get good pas
lures at less expense, announced
Edward H. Schabinger, New Castle
County Agricultural Agent. Ex-
perimental work and good dairy
men have shown that good Ladino
pasture may save as much as a
dollars worth of feed for each cow
every day during the pasture sea-
son, according to Schabinger. La
dino makes greener pastures and
more abundant grazing, and re-
quires no machinery and hand lab
or to harvest pasture. The New
Castle County grain and forage
council of the Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, made up of County
farmers, has suggested that La
dino Glover Club could do much to
improve pasture quality in this
County. This type of educational
program in the Northeastern
states has resulted in many i'm
proved pastures in that area. 1t is
a real challenge to the dairyman
of New Castle County, Schabinger
says, to show they can produce
milk without depending SO much
ON grain. BY growing an adequate
supply of high quality roughage,
especially pasture, dairy farmer
has the cheapest feed for his herd,
and is also building soil fertility in
the pasture. An opportunity. is now
being given all farmers to enroll
In the New Castle County Ladino
Clover Club. The only qualifica-
tions necessary for membership
are to have some livestock that
need feeding and to have a desire
to feed the best and cheapest feed
available. Club members will be
given special help with their pas
tlre programs through timely in
formation material and visits to
their farms by the county agricul-
tural agent and pasture specialist.

roIlment blanks, contact Edward

al Agent, Newark, Del.

Effective Grub Control
Depends on PROPER Timing and Application
By o SCHARFF, Montana State College
Agricultural Experiment Station

THERE ARE CERTAIN questions
regarding cattle grub life history
and control on which there has been
a sad lack of information. During
the last year the Montana agricul-
tural experiment station has been
engaged in research in an effort to
answer some of these questions and
improve our control program. We
have made considerable progress in
this years work.
A few of our questions have been
answered, but a great deal more still
needs to be done before all the final
nswer are found. We plan to CON
tinue research on this problem
for at least another two years. In
the meantime, we are making the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-01

new information available as it is
being developed.
Two Sprays Effective
Cattle grubs are present in the
backs of Montana animals for about
six months each year. The individual
grubs remain in the backs an aver
age of two months. These facts and
the use of a little arithmetic indi-
Gated to us that two grub sprays
per season if TIMED PROPERLY
and APPLIED CORRECTLY, should
control 70 percent to 90 percent of
the grubs in the average herd of
Montana cattle. Observations on
three herds in 1913 bore this out.
This percentage should significant
ly reduce the local grub problem
the following year, providing that
all cattle in a solid area of 1000 acres
or more have been treated and pro-
viding that no grub infested animals
are brought into the area. Where
holdings are small, community n
troll over a solid area is the only
effective method for reducing the
grub problem. The small individual
operator should expect only poor
results from his control efforts if
his neighbors don't control their
grubs too. Since grubs change into
heel flies, which can travel a on
siderable distance to infest other
cattle, control is not lasting in small
areas surrounded by untreated cat
tie.
Timing
In order to get maximum results
from a spray program and in order
to time it properly, the individual
rancher must first know what the
grub situation is in his w herd
The period of maximum effective
ness for a spray will be only a week
or 10 days in length, and the time
may vary from herd to another
Four or five times in January anc
February and March, if necessary
the stockman should examine tn.

the largest grubs.
When the oldest grubs have
reached a length of about one inch,
and are a dark, grayish brown color,
they are almost ready to drop from
the animals. The first spray should
then be applied within a week. The
application of the second spray
should be made so days after the
first one if the herd is also infested
with late grubs.
During the 1948 season there was
an area of approximately n town
ship in the immediate vicinity of
Bozeman in which the early grubs
were not present in large enough
numbers to be important. A similar
situation apparently was present in
the Big Hole, and probably there
were other like areas in the state.
In these cases, just one spray last
season, properly timed, should have
been enough to control the late grubs
that developed in these areas.
Fifteen miles northeast of Boze-
man in 1948, grubs were observed
to be two weeks later than they
were at Logan, 80 miles away. In
the Bitter Root valley they appeared
in the backs a month before they
showed up at Bozeman. These ex-
amples illustrate again the absolute
necessity for the rancher to know
what is going on in his own herd
if he is to get the greatest benefit
from a grub control program.
Spray Application. Ingredients
1t is very important that the in
secticide be applied in the proper
manne for maximum effectiveness.
If as a spray, S 400 pounds pres
sure or more. At all times keep the
nozzle NO farther than IS inches
from the animals back. Use a hard
driving spray pattern 3 to 5 inches
in diameter at 10 inches. If a wash
or dust is used, be sure to work the
material into the hair very thorough
ly with the fingers or a stiff brush.
Recent Investigations have shown
that the addition of a "wetting
agent" to the sprays and washes
will increase the effectiveness of the
rotenone in killing the grubs. There
fore, we have changed our recon-
mendations on the ingredients as
follows:
Spray
S Percent rotenone ........ 7k lbs.
Detergent l pkg.
Or wettable sulfur ......... 10 lbs.
Water 100 gals.
Wash
5 Percent ~rotenone .......... l 1b
detergent z oZS
Or wettable sulfur .......... l Id
wafer D OTIS
We expect to improve still more
on the spray ingredients and meth
DDS of application during the coming
grub season.
The services of county agents ant
of the state entomologist at Bozemal
are available at all times to anyonj
with problems or questions on cattl
grub life history or control.

simply evaporate in summer, but
this one began rounding up all
the college and boarding school
teens home for vacation and
after each weeks practice a SWIM

misnomer. for the hat dance
couldn't possibly be danced to
raspah music. Please go to a

recordings of each. Note the vast
difference in rhythm. Then may

propaganda about our car-crash
record, but I think they make a
mistake in pointing out as gen.
eral teen behavior the isolated
groups of practically insane teens
who do deliberately wild things
with cars in an attempt to kill
themselves and others. This sort
of thing can never be stopped by
teens, but by wise adults who
catch these insecure. unhappy
children while they're very young,
