Stubble Mulch Saves Moisture
Prevents Erosion

WHEN THE DRY spells come,
it's the reserve of moisture in the
soil that counts, and that's where
stubble mulch tillage comes in, ac-
cording to State Commissioner of
Agriculture Alfred R. Anderson.
Anderson speaks from his own
experience in following the tillage
practice on his Blue Hill stock ranch
in Richland county. He reports that
tests performed by weather bureau
technicians showed four feet or
more of soil moisture in his stubble
mulched fields under conditions
which gave only IL inches in a regu-
lar stubble field.
Basically, the stubble mulch pro-
cess, which is becoming more and

Clean Seed

Spraying with 2,4-D will never
be a substitute for clean seed, ac-
cording to l.. L. Schrader, South
Dakota weed specialist. Schrader
found samples of seed flax offered
for sale with a SO percent purity
which contained as many as 1900
yellow foxtail and so wild sunflow-
er seeds per pound.
If a bushel of such seed is sown
per acre, $1,000 foxtail and 1890
sunflower seeds are reseeded on
each acre of land. He also called
attention to the fact that a single
mature plant of lambs quarters may
produce more than 500, 900 seeds in
a season.

Grain Resealing Program
You Can ReneU Your 1913 Loan

barley will be made during the ex-
tended period.
If the grain is delivered prior to
April 80, 1850, upon request by the
producer and with the approval of
CCC, the amount of the storage
payment will be prorated depend
ing upon the length of time the grain
was in storage.
AGREEMENT CONVERSION
What can I do with farm-stored
grain on which ! have a purchase
agreement?
A. You have the option of selling
this grain to the CCC, of keeping it
or of putting it under loan at the
1913 loan rates.
What is the final date for obtain
ing loans on grain under purchase
agreement?
A. Application for placing pur-
chase agreement grain under loan
must be made not later than June
80, 1949.
What purchase agreement grain
is eligible for loans?
A. The quantity of purchase
agreement grain placed under loan
shall not exceed the number of
bushels specified in the agreement,
minus any quantity on which the
option to deliver to CCC has been
exercised. The grain must be of an
eligible grade and sealed in eligible
storage.
What are the Terms of the loans?
A. Purchase agreement wheat,
oats and barley placed under loan
will be subject to the same terms
and conditions as grain which is
resealed by the extension of loans
which were in effect under the 194e
program.
Will there be an additional serv.
ice fee for establishing loans?
A. Yes. At the time the loans are
made on purchase agreement wheat
oats and barley the producer viii
pay an additional service fee of II
cent a bushel on the number o
bushels placed under loan, or $1.50
whichever is the greater.
What storage payments will I re
Ceive on my purchase agreemen
grain placed under loan?
A. Storage payments are the sam
as for grain which was under LOAF
and is placed under new loan

Let's Get That Hay Up
In Best Condition
By RALPH

1T WON'T BE LONG now until
it's time to make hay. Of cours we
all make hay in a number of diff
ferent ways, but in Montana in 1949
making hay for livestock feed is
going to be all important. In most
areas of the state volume is going
to be an important factor, but it
would be well to pay attention as
well to the quality of the hay.
ran across a little squib the other
day that stated that success in the
livestock business depended 10 per-
cent on the livestock and 80 percent
on the feed supply and that the
average producer spent 90 percent
of his effort on the livestock and 10
percent on the feed supply.
There have been times in the last
80 years when the livestock industry
depended nearly 100 percent on the
feed supply. The point, of course,
which was implied was that in re-
lation to its Importance to the live
stock industry the producing and
storing of feed commanded a rel
atively small amount of endeavor.
The more you kick this problem
around and the more you see feed
being lost through waste, the more
you are convinced that a producer
could substantially increase the total
value of his feed supply by reduc-
ing by half the acres devoted to hay
production and strive to produce
two to three times as much tonnage
from the same acreage.
Then if he'd cut this hay when it
has the most feeding value and get
it in a stack either long, chopped or
in bales so he'd preserve its good
ness instead of taking from 80 to rs
percent loss, there would be a whale
of a difference in the response his
animals would make on the hay as it
was fed.
There's a lot of difference in the
protein content of alfalfa hay when
it's cut at 1/10 to 70 bloom r
whether it's cut when past full
bloom. The longer you wait to har-
vest alfalfa hay after it is in the bud
stage the less protein it contains.
The weather in most, cases is the
reason given for delayed alfalfa har-
vest, but if you start early ever
though you harvest over a longer
period, you'll have some good quail.
ity in what hay you do get put III
during the rainy season.
With the average yield of alfalf;
hay in Montana only about SO per
cent of what you'd expect from eacl
acre-there's DON for improvement
all the way down the line. Stand

their age.

Involves the use of special imple-

fare 70 kill weeds and till the soil
bUt leave stubble and trash on top
instead Of turning it under, as in
more conventional procedures.
Does Three Jobs
Stubble mulch tillage accom-
plishes three vital things, Anderson
explained:
/. 1t breaks up the force of rain
drops in heavy transforms so the
rain-instead of pudding up, clos
ing pores in the soil and causing
runoff-is broken into fine particles
that readily penetrate the soil.
2. It shades the soil and prevents
evaporation.
3. 1t forms a protective cover
which protects the soil from wind
which causes drifting of the soil.
One of the major problems in the
successful use of stubble mulch till
age has been the development of eff
fective tools.
Effective Tools
Anderson reports that, after ex-
tensive experimentation. he has
found a 10-foot tiller with five
heavy sweeps, each 80 inches wide
and giving plenty of lap so that nc
weeds slip by, is the most effective

cut this satisfactorily but buried to-
much of the trash, while a light one
way did not cope with the clover. I
single blade subtiller soon becam
clogged with clover and was rem
dered ineffective.
Best results are obtained on ho-
dry days when the weeds wi,

For seeding, Anderson has foun
that a common single or doubl

No Smiths
Listed IN: City
Phone Book

1t is situation more uncommon
than apple blossoms in January,
but it is fact, nevertheless, that
there are no Smiths listed in the
Seward telephone directory.
There are two Browns listed and
two Jones, but not single Smith;
not even of the variety commonly
called Schmidt. The nearest rela-
tive to a Smith to be found in the
directory is lone "Smid, 1t"
Perhaps there is a telephone di-
rectory somewhere else in the
United States that lists no Smiths,
but it is very doubtful. Except for
kllroy, there probably is no other
name in the world as we'll known
as that of Smith.
Several theories have been ad-
vanced to account for this unusual
situation in Seward The most
credible explanation is that there
are SO many Smiths they have
their own telephone exchange
Even so, it is scarcely likely the
Smiths would be SO strong in q
town of merely three thousand
people.
Another theory, advanced by a
| foreign power, is that the Smiths
are merely a downtrodden minority
in Seward. 1t is a known fact that
there are number of Smiths re-
siding in Seward and it is runored
that the new telephone directory
will be normal"

Alaska Dental Clinic
Proposed by DR.. Pope

dren, since this is the age at which
the most effective program of
treatment and dental health edu-
cation can be efficiently worked
out
"By and large the small group
of private practitioners in the Ter
ritory of Alaska are kept much too
busy with services rendered to
adults. Too small a percentage Of
these practitioners want to be trou-
bled with children's dentistry.
Thus we are confronted with a
situation which has no hope of So
luton unless a more effective pro-
gram of dental health is effected
in our schools"
The article, from which the in
PRODUCTION is quoted above, then
describes in detail the measures
which must be taken by the
Health Department and all health
organizations if dental health is to
be promoted in the Territory.
The author, DR.. Pope, is well
known in Seward and has spent
the past several months here doing
dental work for the patients at the
Seward Sanatorium.

took the oath of office for the COM
ing four years.
A little longer time elapsed be-
tween the time President Roose-
welt passed away and the moment
Truman was sworn in as President
in April of 1945.
The most dramatic occasion of a
vice presidents taking the oath of
office following the death of a
president was that of Calvin
Coolidge
When President Harding died,
Coolidge was on a New England
farm with his father. When the
news of Harding's death was made
known, Coolidge took the oath be-
fore his father, notary public, by
the light of a kerosene lamp.
The ceremony took place this
year with the greatest pomp and
display of might in history. The
over-crowded national capital was
swamped with an influx of 100000
visitors from all parts Of the United
States and most countries of the
world.
Taking upon his shoulders the
new mantle of president elected
in his own right, the President
spoke very sharply and strongly
on the subject of communism and
the great display of military
strength in the inaugural parade
added to his speech strong flavor
of sincerity.

HEART FAILURE FOUND CAUSE
OF OLAF JOHNSON DEATH

The finding of the coroner's jury
inquest into the death of Olaf
Johnson last Sunday evening was
that the death was due to heart
failure resulting from shock.
1t was known that johnson had
been in i'll health for some time.
and his death was no surprise to
his many acquaintance in Seward
The reason for the inquest was
that his death followed Slight
accident earlier in the evening, in
which he was found to have suf-
fered no bodily injury.
Olaf Johnson had been known in
Seward for approximately IS years.
He is known to have come to this
country from Norway. It is said
that he has relatives there now.
Another report to the effect that
a sister of his is in Seattle has not
yet been verified. It is believed
that he served in the United States
armed forces during World War I.
At the time 70 his death he was Sc
years old.

What is probably the most pro
gressive and enlightened program
for dental health in Alaska has
been initiated by DR.. Horace Pope
Public Health dentist for the Ter
ritory.
The seven point program of OBJ
jectives for dental health and an
II point program for the role OF
professional personnel in dental
work would correlate the efforts
of all groups interested in the pro-
motion of health, and would de-
pend a great deal on school teach
ers and Public Health nurses as
we'll as dentists.
An article in Alaska's Health, a
publication of the Department of
Health, describes DR.. Pope's pro-
gram in detail.

dental diseases in Alaska towns
and villages" the article says,

for more thorough and encom-
passing dental program.

Great Advance
For Seward Seen
By u. S.Offlcidl

The prediction that the coming
year will be a period of great adj
vancement for Seward and the
Kenai area was made today in
Seward by Joseph T. Flakne, Chief
of the Alaska Branch of the Divi-
sion of Territories of the Depart
ment of the Interior.
II believe the coming year will
be one of great development for
Alaska" he said, "inasmuch as
Alaska is entering upon its first
real postwar year, and is doing
away with wartime cost-plus
methods of production, and assur-
ing fair, competitive bidding on
contracts for labor and materials"
Contractors will be interested in
making each dollar reach as far
as possible when contracts are let
on a competitive basis instead of
cost-plus.
If contracts are to be let on
competitive basis, as Mr.. Flakne
says, this will greatly reduce the
costs of development, since on a
cost-plus basis, a contractor who is
not conscientious can boost the
cost to boost his plus profit.
Flakne said that this would also
mean that contractors would hire
more local labor since they would
be looking for men who We're
known to be dependable, and
whose housing would not be a
problem.
He suggested that the people Of
| Seward take an inventory of past

Carlton Skinner, Special Assist
ant to the Secretary of the Interior,
was in Seward today on an in
formal study of water transporta
ton facilities and warehouses. He
also asked for copies of agree
ments with the unions.
A party of six Seward business
men, including the mayor and the
president of the Chamber of Com

tour of the waterfront. Tom Jones
of The Alaska Railroad was one of
the group.
SINNERS visit was hurried. He
came in at 1870 The luncheon
took place at l2:45, with the in

following. He departed by plane
from Seward at 800 pm.
Immediately on his arrival at the
airport Mr.. Skinner made known
that the purpose of his visit was to
examine all water transportation
facilities on the Seward water
front.
He said that he had already
heard a great deal of the present
situation in Seward. In the first
minute or two of conversation he
stated emphatically that Seward
had been part of his itinerary from
the very beginning, and remarked
that it would be impossible TO lass
it up on his survey trip since it is
one Of our very finest harbors.
