food but would permit it to be grown on
excess acreage for livestock feed, it ap-
peared that farmers in northwestern Kan
sas who were equipped to handle livestock
could probably make profit from feeding
wheat under anything like average market
conditions.
Under some circumstances, hogs would
prove slightly more profitable than. other
kinds of livestock, but where enough pas
ture is available for summer grazing
cattle operation was found to be more
practical in most cases.
While these Kansas investigations are
by no means conclusive, they do suggest
the possibility that the wheat surplus situ-
alton may develop in such way as to
make feeding of wheat profitable to some
farmers in the western wheat region.
Since barley outyields wheat this crop
might prove more profitable for feeding
purposes even though not the equal of
wheat pound for pound.
Water supplies and some pasture, or
grazing land, would of course be prime
requisites to such program.

Gasoline Tax Refunds

TN the continued search for some solution
n to Montanas difficult road and highway
construction problems, the suggestion that
gasoline tax refunds to nonhighway users
be eliminated comes up with monotonous
regularity.
Proposals of this nature have recently
been made to the governors interim COM
mittee on highway finances and legislation.
Those who recommend that refunds be dis
continued point to the 50, ,755, 1865 refunded
in 1949 and contend that this money could
have been used to advantage in the build
ing and maintenance of secondary roads.
There is no doubt this money or any
other money would be useful for road pur-
poses. Montana has a tremendous road
problem, as evidenced by the estimate of
the federal bureau of public roads that
$498, 705,00O would be required to bring the
federal aid system in this state up to proper
condition. Compared with this figure, the
tax refund money is but a drop in the
bucket.
But the need for road money, however
great, does not justify the elimination of
gas tax refunds to nonhighway users. A use
tax on lawnmowers, or on hospital X-ray
machines, or on household vacuum cleaners

Using Wheat for Feed

MYTH bread grain in good supply and
w meat scarce during the war years, the
government encouraged the use of wheat
as stock feed Quantities fed during that
period ranged from 200, ,OOO, 900 to SOC, 900 900
bushels. This compares with an estimated
150000,000 bushels so used in 1949.
In research studies that are being car
ried on by federal and state agencies to
determine ways and means of increasing
the consumption of wheat in order to re-
ieve the surplus problem, some attention
is again being given to increased feeding
of this grain. Using funds made available
under the research and marketing act,
Kansas agricultural experiment station and
the bureau of agricultural economics have

been investigating the possibilities of using
hard red winter wheat as a livestock feed.
It has been known for many years that
wheat is good feed when used in suitable
quantities. Pound for pound, it is as good
or better than corn for fattening cattle,
hogs and poultry but not quite as good for
fattening lambs. Compared with barley,
oats and the sorghum grains, wheat is SUI
perior. Wheat works best when ground and
mixed with other feeds.
The Kansas studies show that under
conditions prevailing in that state wheat
produced more feed value per acre than
any other feed grain. Assuming that fed
eral marketing program were in effect that
would limit the amounts of wheat sold for

Spring wheat farmers have about fo

Spring wheat farmers have about four
choices in determining the use of land re-
tired from wheat under the acreage allot-
ment program. They can (D seed to barley,
oats, flax or some other unrestricted crop,
(2) seed to pasture or hay, (3) summer fallow
or az stay out of the program, seed to wheat
and take chances on the open market. Some
who would otherwise be inclined to follow
the last mentioned procedure will stay with
the allotment program because they appre-
ciate the Importance of cooperating with
other farmers to control the wheat surplus.
Experiments conducted in northern
states show that on the average the loss of
an inch of topsoil from an acre of cropland
reduces oats yields by 112 to 515 bushels,
wheat z to 3 bushels, potatoes 5 to 10 BUSH
els, and hay by 200 to 400 pounds. On thin
soils the drop in production would be much
greater.
Irrigation farmers are looking at sugar
beets with renewed interest now that mech
anized operations are eliminating many of
the headaches that used to 60 with beet
production Profits made from beets in 1949
are encouraging farmers to plan for in
creased acreage this year.
There is a trend toward greater use of
irrigated pastures in Montana Farmers
have found that net income from such
pastures compares favorably with that from
similar land In crops when lower produc-
ton costs are considered.

partment are best prepared for that, and undoubtedly they
can find sonnet hing that can be done, perhaps grading and
leveing, or what have you. At least a temporary asphalt coat
ing would help keep down the dust, permit run-off during
rainfall, and generally improve conditions.
OFTEN CRITICISM is shot at the Public Works De-
partment, and while portions Of it may be justified, yet a con-
siderable portion is entirely without foundation and done
merely to harrass those in charge, and to have something to
complain about. Under the conditions the Department is do

are low, and the budget being what it is, the hands Of the Of
fcals of that department are virtually tied.
SINCE ST. CROIX has great possibilities for good motor
ing, it is important that our roads be kept in good condition
constantly With hundreds of cars, and the development Of the
tourist trade our roads can be a great asset to US, and nothing
should be spared to keep these in the best Of condition. II can,
be seen that with all these roads to look after, plus the streets

It must be a matter of deciding which Of the jobs needs first
