u. S. GENERAL SAYS :.
ANOTHER WAR TO
LAST Forever

Omaha, Nebr.-The idea that our
possession of the atom bomb would
guarantee a quick victory for us in
any future war has been effectively
nailed as wishful self-delusion by no
less an authority than Maj. Gen.
Everett S. Hughes, US. army chief
of ordnance.
eff we have another war, it's going
to last forever" General Hughes
said here April 10. He also made it
clear that he does not think "the
atomic bomb will do anything but
disturb and kill lot of people"
The army ordnance chief said that
neither side in war can win until
they land with armed forces and
seize control of the country. They
can't do that from the air." he said.
General Hughes emphasized that
the US. army ordnance planning has
not been changed Gin the slightest"
by the atomic bomb. "The atomic
bomb didn't cause Japan to sur
render" he declared. "They were
all ready to surrender before the
first bomb was dropped"
Indicating that another war would
still be won or lost by the ordinary
doughfoot, General Hughes said that
army ordnance still is developing its
planning with the foot soldier.

A|eutian Mail Goes By Boat From Seward

The Berger Transportation Com pany has been awarded a contract for mailboat service from Seward to the Aleutian Islands and the Alaska Peninsula, according to news received in Seward Monday.
 This will mean a great deal of additional work for the Seward post office, Postmaster Charles A. Sheldon said Tuesday morning. The post office is equipped to handle such traffic, however. he said
 Formerly all mail to the West ward went through Seward, and the balcony in the post office was used for the Aleutian mail at that time
 The formal notice has not been received in Seward as yet, MT Sheldon said, but he believes the new service may not include as many stops for the mailboat as formerly.
 The renewed mailbOat service will be boon to people living at the points serviced, since it will be possible for the boat to, carry freight along with the mail. Post master Sheldon said that in the past mail boats carried many tons of freight on every trip.

Bic Cheese Is On Display at
 Werner's Murkef

The biggest cheese ever seen in Seward arrived this week. It is a domestic Swiss cheese that is so big it took four longshoremen to handle it when it came off the ship.
 The big hunk of cheese, weigh ing POO pounds, will be on display at Werner's Market Thursday, Fri day and Saturday of this week, and will be sampled for taste.
 When Jack Werner was asked about the cheese, he said that it was just part of large shipment, since he has installed Hill Re- frigerated Dairy Case in his store in which he will have the largest assortment of cheese to be found in the Territory.
 The new case stands six feet tall and is over six feet long. Each glass-enclosed shelf is refrigerated and equipped with fluorescent lights. It stands next to the refrig- erated vegetable case at the front of the store. The case will also con- tain such items as milk, butter and eggs.

Lufhercn Church Doubles Membership

The Seward Lutheran Church achieved record, according to Rev. A. O. Odegaard, pastor, by exactly doubling it's membership at the first anniversary service held last Sunday, March 27, in the church building which was recent ly acquired from Mrs: Ray James of this city.
 At the Holy Communion service conducted by Rev. Odegaard, a record congregation of 105 wit messed the baptism of 20 children and one adult, the confirmation of four adults, and received into their membership 42 new members.
 This Lutheran congregation was organized on April 27, l94S, at which time they had no church building The Ladies Aid had been organized among Lutheran ladies living in Seward and had worked throughout the previous year to- ward their goal of an established congregation by meeting at their various homes. Their ambition was accomplished in 1949 when Rev A. O. Odegaard of Anchorage came to their assistance by holding meet ings at stated intervals. In one year this energetic and determined group organized themselves, ac- quired the church building previ- ously owned by the Methodist Church before the building of the Seward Memorial Church.
 Rev Odegaard says that the growth of this congregation is phe- nominal, and that no other church in the Territory can report the ab- solute doubling of a membership in one service.
 In addition to the activities of the morning service, the Lutherans enjoyed social evening in cele- bration of their anniversary be- ginning with a dinner served by the Ladies Aid.

Drive Begins Here April 3 For Red Cross

Seward Chapter American Red Cross opens the 1949 campaign on April 3. Plans are under way by organizations in town to formulate one big party at the end of the first week of the campaign.
 Every organization is requested to send two representative to a meeting to be held in the office of the Seaport Record Wednesday evening at o'clock to perfect this plan, so that the whole town can participate. Those organizations that have not been contacted per sonally by this time are requested to work upon announcement. Car nival, bingo party and barn dance are under consideration and sug- gestions are being awaited. "A PROcLAMATION:
 '"The American Red Cross has re- peatedly proved it's worth here in Alaska and throughout the United States.
 Besides giving aid to more than three hundred thousand disaster victims during the past year, the Red Cross continued to carry a heavy burden of war-born respon- abilities, providing essential serv- ices to veterans and their families and to our armed forces. Health and safety programs contributed materially toward the betterment of community standards, and the National Blood Program was ex- tended into additional areas in re- sponse to requests of medical au- thorities.
 ITO carry on it's humanitarian work, the Red Cross is seeking a minimum of s6O,OOO,OOO in the 1949 Fund Campaign beginning March "I urge every resident of Alaska to give generously during the fund appeal, so that the splendid objec- lives of the Red Cross may be full filled.

kenoi-kusiIof Lund Opened To
 Homes+eading

Secretary Krug has issued pub lie land order opening 1,36857 acres in the Kenai-Kasilof area to set clement under the homestead and small tract laws, effective April 13
 Ninety-day preference from April 13 to July 13 will be accorded vet erans of World War II. Applica- tions for the land, which are thus restored from a public land order withdrawal, are to be filed in the District Land Office at Anchorage and inquiries should be addressed to that office.
 Sale of Public Lond in Alosku
 Final approval by the Public Lands Committee of Delegate Bartlett's bill to provide for the sale of public land in Alaska has been temporarily withheld at the request of Congressman William Lemke of North Dakota.
 The bill provides that the Secre- tary of the Interior may sell at pri- vate sale or public auction any tract of public land, up to 160 acres, which the secretary may classify for such disposal. Shore space regulations would not apply to lands sold under the bill. Pro- vision is made that under special circumstances, larger tracts than 160 acres could be disposed of un- der the terms of the bill
 The stated reason of the North Dakota member for his objection was his belief that this measure might be an instrument to bury his bill which would see settlement of Alaska by war veterans on homesteads no less than 320 acres | in size and up to and including 2560 acres, classified as farming, grazing, t imber or fur-raising claims.
 Delegate Bartlett explained that | the purpose of his bill was only to facilitate the disposal of public land for business and industrial | development purposes. He said there is now no means whereby | public domain land may be ac. quired for such purposes and added that this is proving to be serious impeachment.
 The bill is expected to be con- Sidered at a later date

Ross B. Mann Lone Delegate To Washington

Ross B. Mann left Seward Sun- day by air for the national capital to represent the City of Seward in support ot the memorial to Con- gress for rehabilitation of the SeWard-Portage section of The Alaska Railroad.
 Ray James, who was also ap- pointed a delegate by the Seward City Council, remained in Seward due to illness. Mir. James is recov- ering from severevcase of influ- enza, but he is expected to follow at later date.
 It was learned that MT. Mann was proceeding directly to Wash ington by way of Minneapolis in- stead of stopping at Juneau. The reason given for this is that Gov ernor Gruening had left for Wash ington with a party of ,Alaskans working in support of his reap pointment as governor.
 Representative Clarence P. Keat- ing was also reported to have left for Washington on the same mis- sion. It was Heating who intro- duced the rehabilitation memorial in the Legislature, and it is his de- sire to follow the memorial through Congress.
 Ask Lower Rail Rotes
 Before it's passage z, paragraph was added to the memorial asking for the application of stateside freight rates to The Alaska Rail- road.
 "The economic development of the Territory will be tremendously aided by the application of state side freight rates to The Alaska Railroad as the increasing air transportation and highway trans portation will graduallyemake it impossible for The Alaska Rail road to operate from it's revenue"
 If this new paragraph were 1 adopted by Congress it would re- suit in very marked reduction in rail freight rates to the interior. This in turn would serve to lower commodity prices at the point of final sale. It would be entirely in line with the purpose of the Con- gressional act which originally au- thorized construction of the rail- road, which was undertaken pri- marily to aid in the economic de- velopment of the Territory.

often the case when feeding whole
hay.
Some $50 heifers were fattened
for market last winter and the same
number will be fed again this year.
Last years fattening operation was
helped by the use of green grass
silage which Wood found to be an
excellent conditioner. The grass was
put into open-topped silage sheds of
a very economical design.
3oo-Ton Silo
Here again the striking point was
adaptability. Wood has a 3,000-ton
capacity shed built of poles and
rough boards obtained locally and
lined with special silo paper. One
8y-12 inch rough lumber was used
for the sides supported by dry lodge
pole pine poles of 6 to 10 inch dia-
meter. The upright poles were set
in 8 feet of concrete and spaced 3K
feet apart. Dimensions of the shed
are $50 feet long, 80 feet wide and 80
feet high. The total cost was $500.
Fermentation is accomplished in
the grass silage by spraying 80
pounds of molasses to a ton of grass.
Two feet of straw is put on top of
the silage and the same protection
is given stacks of dry chopped hay.
When some of the alfalfa killed
out last winter Wood decided to try
another adaptation and make some

ADAPTABILITY is the key 70
better management in these days of
a changing farm market. And prob
ably no better proof of the adapta-
bilty of Montana and Wyoming
farmers in meeting current prob
lens exists than the quickness with
which they have adopted such prac-
tees as weed control with chemicals,
sprinkler irrigation, stubble mulch
tillage and many others.

Of the ordinary, let's look at M
Montana farmers haying operation.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-01

Same Tools for All Operations
Whether dry hay, green grass si&-
age or corn silage, the same harvest
ing equipment is used. All hay and
corn is chopped with the same field
chopper and blown into large o v
cred trailers. Wood says this is the
most efficient way to put up feed
on the place because it can be taken
directly from the fields to stacks or
silage sheds next TO the feed yards
Another good feature about the
use of this system is that it can be
adapted 70 any crew that happens
to be on hand. Ordinarily a five
man does the haying job. One
man does the moving, another on
a tractor also handles the field chop
per, two men haul the wagons from
field TO stack and another man OPP
crates the elevator that puts die
chopped hay into the stack.

Treated Grain
Safe for Seed
BY ROBERT WARDEN
Extension Weed Specialist

CAN THE SEED produced by a
2,4-D treated crop be used for seed?
Yes.
The rumor that a crop treated with
2,4-D would produce sterile seed is
very wide spread, and has resulted
in a serious question in the minds of
some people as to whether or not
they should get new seed for the
next years crop. Experimental ger
mination studies have been con-
Quoted on seed from treated and un-
treated cereal crop plots grown at
Bozeman, Havre and Moccasin with
no significant reductions in ger
mination occurring in any test. This
agrees with work done at expert
ment stations in other states.
Normal Dormancy Period
There are several reasons why this
rumor has become so widespread.
The first is that most cereal crop
seed has a dormancy period imme-
diately after harvest when only B
very low percent of the seed viii
terminate unless the dormancy is
broken by chilling. Winter wheat
dormancy will be broken by natural
field conditions after planting. When
the grower attempts to terminate
newly harvested seed at room tenn
peratures very little termination Oc-
ours, and it is blamed on 2,4-D!
The second reason is that 2,4-D
when applied directly to seed viii
certainly reduce termination. How
ever when 2,4-D is applied to a
growing crop it will not come in o.
tact with the seed and hence, there
is no adverse effect on termination.
2,4-D particularly the esters) should
not be stored with seed since it can
vaporize in large enough amounts 70
reduce termination of stored seed.
No Check on Wild Oats
There has also been a prevalent
belief that seed produced by 2,4-D
treated wild oat plants would not
terminate. Since the termination of
cereal crop seed is not affected, there
is no reason to believe that the seed
of the closely related wild oat would
be affected in any way.

year, 900 tons of hay were put up
in u days with a five-man crew.

100-acre field was a Wisconsin by
brid, 80-day variety, and will pro-
duce high yields. Harvesting will be
done with the same field chopper
and put into the silage sheds with
out molasses or any other ferment-
ing agent.
