Perhaps it would be a good idea
to look quickly for fear Of miss
ing it. But, if my mathematics is
correct, the Giants are in third
place in the MI pennant race.
Actually and. factually they are
tied with last years champions,
the Braves. But "figuratively'
speaking they have the honor at
the moment by one percentage
point.
More important is that the fire
that Manager Leo Durocher has
been striving to build under the
Giants since he took over a year
ago, looks as though it might be
kindled at last.

useless"
Mr.. Washington, also condemn
ed the lighting at the intersection
as a waste of money aided by the
tax payers and told the commits

the failure to do anything about
it had caused one tragedy after

two 7-year-old children. Other
members of the delegation re-
minded the city officials of the
recent deaths of these two chill

Mayor Louis Lohrey was quoted
as saying, he had travelled the
area mentioned by the committee

remedy the situation by ordering a

matter need no further debate. A
motion by Commissioner Fred

The militant action of the dele

TRASH COVER" they call it in
Canada-stubble mulch tillage, here
in Montana, but it all adds up to a
farming practice that has kept the
topsoil on many thousands of acres
of prairie wheat lands both here and
in Canada.
And it's a far cry from the neat
and clean black fallow days of not
long ago. In fact the Canadian
name thrash cover" describes the
method perfectly.

Both of these. practices can really
be seen at their best in the prairie
provinces of Canada-where they
both began ove 80 years ago. So
it was off to Canada for a 50-car
aravan of some 140 of Montana's
conservation-minded farmers, tech
nicians and county agents.
The two-day tour of southern AL
berta was conducted just a month
ago. Stops were made at the farm
of T. S. Lanier, at the Dominion ex-
perimental station, both near Leth-
bridge, and at the c. S. Noble and

Piles of trash cover farming as well
as the latest in Canada-developed
implements for this type of tillage.
Cultivation Necessary Evil
"Cultivation is a necessary evil to
be used only to keep weeds down
and prepare the seed bed. Any other
cultivation is considered useless if
not injurious" explained A. E. Pal
mer, superintendent of the Dominion
experimental station. Palmer has
worked constantly with the trash
cover system since the method be-
gan over 80 years ago and is often
called the father of stubble mulch
farming.
The Canadian method, Palmer ex-
planned, is to use tillage implements
such as the subsurface blades and
rod weeders that will keep most of
the stubble on the surface.
eve use subsurface blades" he
said, "and only these blades for
weed cultivation where stubble
stands are not too heavy. The usual
practice is to use the straight or wee
type blade the first time over the
field. For later civilizations, as need.
ed, rod weeders are used.
Straight blades are generally USED
on medium textured soils, but wee
shaped blades are best on light OF
heavy soils. Some of the experiment
station land has been handled thi:
way-without plowing-for over 81
years.

more certain. The only thing need
ed to control the depth of stroke is
plenty of weight"
If a second or third stroke with
the blade is needed because of heavy
weed growth after rains, farmers
using this method don't hesitate to
follow through, according to Palmer.
However, most farmers are willing
to sacrifice a little moisture to the
weeds rather than risk soil blowing
if the trash cover is too thin to stand
another blading.
Just what this subsurface blading
does to the stubble cover is also
shown in Dominion experimental
station findings. The effect on the
stubble on the surface after three
tilling strokes with blade cultivators
set at 8 to 4 inches deep, was a re-
duction of 40 percent. In other
words, after three times over the
field and each time doing a good job
of weed cultivation, go percent of
the stubble still remained on the
surface to protect the soil from
blowing.

dian experiments also show that

seems to be in getting drills TO
do a good job of seeding through
a heavy stubble mulch how
ever.
The usual practice where the
stubble cover is heavy is TO use
the one-waY pillow followed by
blade wedding as necessary. or
to burn the stubble before seed
ing. But a new seeding blade
invented by an Alberta farmer
D. ]. McClains shows promise of
solving the problem of seeding

bishop said the arrests "gravely
affected both the Protestant and the
Roman Catholic churches on the

The arrests, he added, 'grievously
increase our sense of the dangers
to which the Western churches are
exposed in a large part of Eastern
Europe"
Cardinal Mindszenty was arrested
in December on charges of high
treason and alleged breaches of
the currency laws. Bishop Ordas
was sentenced in October to two
years imprisonment for alleged
offenses against the currency laws.

governments offer to make him
generalissimo Of the Greek armed
forces.
No agreement could be reached
apparently. on how much authority
he would have.
The government has been trying
for some time to get Gen. Papagos
to direct its prolonged fight against
Communicated guerrillas. Gen
Papagos is credited with defeating
the Italians when they invaded
Greece in 1940-1.
Gen. Papagos insisted that If he
take the job he be given complete
authority and responsibility.
This meant, he said, abolishing
the 36-man Supreme Defense Coun-
Gil, which includes American Am
bassador Henry F. Grady and the
heads of American and British mill
tary missions. He said this council
slowed up military decisions.
Government officials baked at
this demand. Premier Themistokles

European Aides Fear
Political and Economic
Crisis When ERP Ends
by the Associated Press

European Marshall Plan officials
have expressed fear that a political
and economic" crisis looms for Eu-
rope when American recovery help
ends
Robert Marjolin, secretary general
of the Organization for European
Economic Cooperation In Paris,
said the 19 Marshall Plan nations
expect no further United States aid
after the program ends in mid
1852. But, he added, an expected
$4,000, 100000 annual trade deficit
will force Europe's governments to
make unpleasant decisions"
He told a news conference late
yesterday that unless these govern
ments agree on five major policy
courses, their total imports in
1923 must be cut Is per cent
under the level now scheduled and
imports from North America must
drop 40 per cent to save scarce
dollars.
Plan to Avert Crisis Outlined.
ut would mean a complete dis
ruption of economic systems in
Europe-a political and economic
crisis" he said.
Mr.. Marjolin, a Frenchman, said
the Marshall Plan governments
might avoid that by:
/. Stabilizing currencies - which,
in most cases, means taking anti
inf1ationary steps.
2. Lowering prices, so Europe can
sell more abroad.
3. Creating new sources of supply
in the colonies, so they can earn
more dollars for themselves and the
mother countries.
4. expanding trade among them
selves to make Europe less depend
ent on overseas sources.
Would Cut Imports Further.
S. Cutting imports even below the
"auSterity'' levels which now pre-
vail in many countries.
Mr.. Marjolin is one Of a group
of OEEC officials now in Washing
ton on the invitation of the Eco
nornic Cooperation Administration
to assist in preparing the second
year Marshall Plan program for
representation to Congress.
Another member, Sir Edmund
Hall-Patoh, chairman of the OEEC
Executive Committee, said even an
increase in American financial aid
in the three remaining years of the
Marshall Plan would not enable
Europe to wipe out the entire ex-
pected trade deficit.
The speed of recovery is limited in
several fields, he explained, by
worldwide supply shortages.
