In addition the county extension agent IN
each county in the state having an extension
service represents the association in the
county. In this way the crop Standardization
program in the state is correlated from the
research findings of the Montana Agricul-
tural experiment station to the production
of commercial grain by all growers in the
state.
Grain. Grass Seed
The certification program in Montana,
which embraces the production of founda-
ton registered and certified seed, consists
of two types of production: (D The produc-
ton of cereal grains, flax, corn and beans
and (2) the production of legume and grass
seed. AS the system used in each is some
what different, they must be treated sep
arately.
The Montana Seed Growers Assn. places
a variety on the standard list for certifica-
ton when it (please turn to page s.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-10-15

aKNOW WHAT YOU SOW" has been the
slogan of the Montana Seed Growers Assn.
for the past quarter of a century. 1t has
stood for the best varieties as well as a
product of high purity and known germina-
ton.
The Montana Seed Growers Assn. came
into being in 1921 when a small group of
growers decided to band together to protect
the quality of the seed they were producing.
From this humble beginning this association
of seed producers has continued to grow
year by year and exert an ever present in
fluence in maintaining quality in cereal,
legume and grass seed produced in Montana.
Demand Exceeds Production
During these years the demand for Mon
tana seed has continued to be in excess of
the annual production. While the cereal
grain certification program is designed
primarily to take care of the needs within
the state, there are many tons of seed
shipped to neighboring states each year,

with an occasional lot of several thousand
pounds going to foreign countries.
About 80 percent of the legumes and grass
seed production goes to consuming areas
where this type of seed is not readily pro-
duced. The alfalfa seed program is for the
most part rather tightly bound with the
livestock industry. Each supplements the
other and tends to make for a better bal
anced agriculture.
Research. Extension Cooperation
From the very beginning the Montana
Seed Growers Assn, which is the certifying
agency for small seeds and cereals in Mon
tana, has been very closely correlated with
the research program of Montana State col
lege and with the Montana extension serv-
ice. The agronomist of the agronomy depart
ment of the Montana agricultural expert

member of the board of directors and the

Planned In Arlington
Elementary Schools

Kitchen facilities for at least

ing five new elementary schools
and at three others where addi-
tions are proposed, are included
in plans announced by the Arling-
ton County School Board.

explained it's plans for new 10
room school at Abingdon and
Thirtieth streets. south, Arlington,
which will serve a part of Fair
lington. The meeting was held in
the existing darlington School
Tuesday night.
Board members said that all of
the elementary school plans pre-
pared include some type of kitch-
en- facilities for the hot dish
lunches. Lack of funds prevent
inclusion of facilities for full
scale cafeterias which never have
been provided in elementary
schools. A new building at Hoff-
man-Boston School for Negroes
will contain g cafeteria which is
to serve students in all Grades
there, including those in high
school.
Other new schools with kitchen
facilities will be at Dominion
Hills, Hume. Glen Carlyn. and one
on North Greenbrier street. Addi-
tions will contain kitchens at Kate
Waller Barrett. Peyton Randolph
and Walter Reed.
Board members explained to
darlington residents that tenta-
tive plans, which must be ap-
proved py the State Department
of Education. are drawn so that
an auditorium and community IL
brary may be added on the 9-acre
tract if future population trends
demand them. The structure to
be erected initially is designed
only for the first four grades. it
was explained, because experience
has shown that parents with chill
dren usually move out of apart
mcnts, which comprise that area,

Annapolis Paper Is Freed

Judge Michaelson said there is
no local or State law applicable

the policy of the State not to pro-

ST. Marys To Start
S630,000 Program
Of School BUILDING

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Feb.
1O.-St. Marys County prepared
today to start it's public school
building program after the coun-
ty commissioners and the board
of education ironed out their diff
ferences in a meeting here.
The county board of education,
responding to the commissioners
request for a specific" plan, pre-
sented a program Tuesday which
would involve expenditure of
S63O,OOO and major reorganiza-
ton of the countys public school
system.
John H. T. Briscoe, attorney to
the commissioners. told j. Claude
johnson, president of the board
of education. that the commits
sioners would give the plan i'm
mediate consideration nov that
we have something substantial to
work on
Explains Bond Authority
Mr.. Briscoe explained that the
commissioners have for some
time had authority to sell a total
of $3.50. 600 in school bonds. He
said they have not acted because
they felt that such q program
should originate with the board
of education.
The commissioners did not say
directly whether they would ap-
prove the sale of bonds. but
sources close to the board said it
was a virtual certainty" that
they would advertise a $350,000
issue, since this amount was au-
thorized by the voters in a ref
erendum last November" Au-
thority to sell a 100000 issue
was given the commissioners by
the legislature at it's 1947 session.
Will Break Precedent
If bonds are sold, a precedent
of more than three centuries will
be broken. st. Marys has never
sold bonds for school purposes.
1t is the only Maryland county
which has not done so.
Mr.. Johnson, in presenting the
program for his board. said his
group was convinced that "our
needs are very urgent and that
the general building situation in
st. Marys is probably the worst
in the state"
Referring to 16 of the county's
standard schools. the board S
report revealed that 13 are frame
structures. IL have no central
heating system. 10 have no in
dor toilets. S have no drinking
water on grounds, 4 have no
artificial lighting and IL have
grounds of only one acre or less.
