Well-Tve had a swell visit with
you, so let's get down to a little
meat.
Speaking of meat reminds me that
there are too many acres of crested
w~heatgrass being plowed up and put
into cereal crops. You'd better be
making plans for getting some of
these marginal acres back into grass.
And what about replacing some OF
the broken sod with grass on those
blow areas.
Rescue Wheat
There were $4,000 bushels of
Rescue wheat produced on 340, 1000
acres in Montana this year. That's
the production increase from l
bushel just Is months ago. Needless
to say, that's enough to take care
of all of our needs and then some.
There were 1000, 900 bushels of
wheat lost in 1948 through sawfly
damage. This is much below the loss
in 1947, due mostly to the rather
late planting season in the spring
wheat area of the eastern and north
eastern part of the state. There is
no reason to believe that the sawfly
will be on the scarce side in 1949.
Durum
In several small sections of the
state producers are planning on
planting a stable acreage of durum
wheat in 1949 to control sawfly. It
should be pointed out that durum
wheat is erratic in its resistance to
sawfly and that durum in a hard red
spring wheat area generally leads to
mixtures which for a long period
can influence the grade of hard red
spring wheat marketed from these
areas.
Approved Seed
The requests for registered cereal
grains started early again this last
fall. The acreage which passed in
spection this year was considerably
smaller than in 1947. This means
of course that most counties will be
short of this class of grain to fill its
w needs.
If supplies run short, good use can
be made of approved seed supplies,

Primitive Hunters
Roumed the West
Before Christ's Birth

NEW YORK.-Evidence that a
primitive group of hunters roamed
the American west thousands OF
years before the birth Of Christ has
been offered by a group of scien-
fists.
DR.. Loren Eiseley Of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania said the site
of the ancient camp was near Cody,
Wyo., and that it probably dates
back to between 5000 and IL, 900
years before Christ.
Reporting thu discovery, he
termed it one of the most impor-
tant ever made in connection with
the culture of the Yuma, a nomadic
group that disappeared nearly two
centuries ago as a cultural unit.
They we're among the earliest
known inhabitants Of the new
world.
DR.. Eiseley estimated that the
ancient camp site covered about
600 square feet of a terrace over
hanging Sage creek, five miles
northeast of Cody. The valuable
deposit of tools, weapons, and
food remains were preserved
through the centuries by dusty
desert sands 10 covering the
camp site to a depth Of about 10
inches.
The Yuma were foot hunters who
roved the high plains of the Amer
lean West in search Of bison. Evil
dences of their existence have been
found before, DR.. Eiseley said, but
never so extensively or in a deposit
that may enable scientists to fix
more accurately the period in
which they lived.
For example, he said, from the
bison bones on the site it may be
possible to determine whether the
Yuma lived before certain types Of
bison became extinct late in the Ice
Age. No human bones were found,
DR.. Eiseley said.
There were numerous Yuma
points," ~delicately fashioned flints
apparently tipped Yuma
lances. It is believed the Yuma
did not use bow and arrow.

Put Skunks to Sleep

Mrs. Coleman Allen, a widow
who lives on the outskirts Of Troy,
had that problem.
Her first idea vas to have the
skunks shot. But she quickly
dropped that one when a neighbor
explained that the animals could
retaliate with an odor that would
drive her from the house.
Five boys, who heard radio sta
ton WPTW's account Of Mrs.
Aliens problem, provided q sim
pie solution.
They put the skunks to sleep with
ether and carried them away.

Kansas Farm Rock
Will Tell EorthIs
Size to Surveyors

LUCAS, KANS. - The United
States coast and geodetic survey j!
using a rock in Frank Robinson:
pasture near here to measure the
size and shape of the earth.
The rock carries a small bronze
plaque with a tiny triangle. Inside
the triangle there is a dot. The tiny
dot will tell the surveyors the size
and shape of the entire world.
The current project is the second
phase of the job. Last year, astro-
nomical calculations were made by
geodetic survey officials. This year
they are making gravity checks,
c%entering around the rock on Rob-
inson's farm. The scientists will tie
the two studies together and get a
new determination of the earth's
exact size.
Robinson's rock has been used be-
fore. For about so years, it has been
the basis of ever triangle drawn
by surveyors over the whole United
States. All buildings surveyed, from
the White House to the barn on Old
MacDonald's farm, are down on
charts as being a certain distance
from the rock.
When the marker was first put in
place, in 1891, it was just one Of
many points Of reference estab-
lished across the nation. But it soon
became the principal one, when
geodetic survey officials decided
it was the most nearly accurate Of
them all.
A plumb line at this point, they
found, more than any of the others,
would show the earth's natural
gravity. It's accuracy was attributed
to its location-on a barren hilltop,
without great mountain ranges or
bodies of water or land masses nea
by to defect the plumb line.
It became virtually the geodetic
center Of the nation. And, in 1913,
the rock extended its Importance
beyond the borders Of the United
States. Canada and Mexico &C.
corded it recognition as the basis
Of their surveys, too. So, for all in
tents and purposes, it became the
geodetic center Of the whole North
American continent.
Gradually, it extended its sphere
Of geodetic influence around the
world. More and more nations
adopted it as the point of reference
for surveys, until now a maze Of tri-
angles, linking most Of the earth's
surface, are based on the dot in the
triangle on the plaque on the rock
on the farm in Kansas.

Italian Colony Unhappy
On TERRA del Fuego

BUENAS AIRES.-AI is not go
ing well with one of the world.
most unusual immigrant resettle'
ment schemes-the colony of 1,00C
Italian immigrants on the island
of TERRA del Fuego, which forms
the southern side of the strait Of
Magellan.
Last year the Peron government
closed down the country's motor
ious prison colony there, shifted
its inmates to the mainland,
erected additional housing and
made way for the bodily transfer
of an entire factory from Italy to
that antarctic outpost.
Since the first enthusiastic well
come given the hardy pioneers by
the press here, news from the
colony has been slim. In recent
weeks, however, several news
papers, including a local Italian
periodical, have reported that the
rigors of readjustment have re-
suited in considerable disillusion-
ment.
The peasant element among the
settlers has taken well to the
islands sheep-raising, its chief
industry, according to these re-
ports. But the workers, many Of
them in skilled categories, are
said to be ill-prepared for the
rigorous climate. The temperature
occasionally drops to IS below
zero.
Major discomfort has arisen over
the wage-and-employment policies
adopted by the Bolsani corporation,
which was transplanted from Italy.
Promised a wage of three pesos
hourly go %cents), the workers
complain that while this might be
adequate in a more temperate
climate, it is inadequate on the
island.

Mexico City Discards
Afternoon Siesta Hours

MEXICO CITY. - Because it
was found that the closing of
grocery stores and small var
iety stores from 2 to 4 o'clock
each afternoon was inconven-
fencing the poorer classes, Mex
leo City has abolished the
afternoon siesta closing hours.
The stores also were given
permission to remain open
later at night than heretofore.
Another disadvantage of the
2 to 4 closing hours, according
to the shopkeepers, was hat a
few store owners were able, by
bribing policemen on the beat,
to stay open during the official
closing period, thus taking bust
ness away from the more honest
competitors.

Goren on Bridoe

North's manner during the auc-,
ton in today's hand could hardly
be described as reticent, but the final
contract was not too bad, depending
,Guon not much more than picking
up the queen Of trumps. For his
opening lead West selected the four
of hearts, and dummy's jack held the
trick. A low spade was then led to
the ace and low club toward dunn
my, in the vague hope that West
might be caught mapping with the
ace. East took the trick and returned
4 heart, which was won with the king.
Declarer was now called upon to
make decision as to the manage
ment Of the trump suit. With five
outstanding trumps, the best per-
centage play is to finesse on the
second round. This play is definitely
superior to trying to drop the queen,
but South decided against the
dnesse, and I shall give her the
floor to tell you why.
II had been playing against the
gentleman occupying the West seat
for many years and had observed
that against slam contract he al
most invariably led a trump. He
had disinclination to lead from an
honor that amounted almost to
phobia. On this hand I was fortu-
nately able to learn at trick one that
he had led away from the queen of
hearts. What could have prompted
him to make a play which to him
would normally appear so daring2
Why had he failed to make his usual
trump lead? I reached the conclu-
sion that the trump lead to him must
have appeared too dangerous. And
nothing could have made him feel
that way except possession of the
queen. When I played the king of
spades I was not too confident that
the queen would fall, but I was en-
tirely convinced that East did not
have It,"
