 FEATURE TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

With Burgess Meredith and Eng lands newest screen sensation, Kieron Moore, in leading roles, Mine Own Executioner," an Alex ander Korda production released by Twentieth Century-Fox, opens to- night at the. goth Century Theatre. The excitement-packed story of a modern romance, unfolded with penetrating frankness against an unusual background of mounting suspense. Mine Own Executioneer' is said to provide some of the most absorbing and dramatic moments of the screen year.
 In what is said to be his most interesting role to date, Burgess Meredith is seen as Felix Milne. 6 lay-psychiatrist who. though happily married, is irresistibly drawn to an- other woman with results that lead to tragic consequences in the lives of still another couple. as well as altering the entire course of his own life and career.
 The tempo of the suspenseful drama is set when Adam Lucian (Kieron Moore). an ex-pilot who is stricken with spells during which he is filled with a strange urge to murder his young wife, is brought to Milne for treatment, and the lat ter throws himself into the problem with his usual intensity and devo- ton to the curing of warped minds.

MARCH OF DIMES NETS $S,2SS WITH
 FAIRBANKS NOT IN

A total of $8,28842 has been col lected throughout Alaska for the March of Dimes campaign, it was announced today by Secretary of Alaska, Lew M. Williams.
 This total. by far the highest ever collected in the Territory since the inauguration of the campaign during the mid -1930's, does not in- clude Fairbanks, which has not yet reported in.
 Of the grand total, half the scn -$4,14421-goes to the Nationa Foundation for Infantile Paralysis with headquarters in Warm Springs Ga, where the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt fought his way back to health after being stricken with polio.
 The remaining money remains in Alaska, and may be donated oi used in any way that is seen fiji by the community making the col lection. Some of the funds hhvt already been given to the Alaska Crippled Children's Association
 In former years the money re- maining here has been given tc the health department, and othel institutions having to do with ill- nesses of children.
 Juneaus share in the total wa: $960.22, of which half remains II the city for use here.
 :. Although he hasn't had time vel to figure details on the big dona- tions, Williams said that last veal Alaska's per capita donation was more than 35 cents, greater thar any other portion of the United States. Total amount collected then was $7,894.10.
 With Fairbanks yet to report Williams believed the figure woule this year go well over $l,000 mort than contributed last year.

SPOKANE, Wash, June 6|Rf-A weeding of the bad news from the good was labeled "Pollyanish" Sat- urday by Frank J. Starzel. General Manager of the Associated Press.
 Addressing Utah-Idaho AP meeting, Starzel said critics had elected to confuse the trees with the forests"
 These critics. he said. suggested that the press and radio sift out the bad news. This, he said, would make propagandists of reporters.
 Americans have always prided themselves on being tough and re- silent" said Starzel. We can take shocks and blows, dig in and move forward. We might prefer good news, but we want to know when ever the news is bad"

BeIches New-Lava Flow
By the Associated Press

CATANIA. Sicily, Dec. 49,
Mount Etna, Europe's tallest VOL
cano, again burst into violent
eruption today, sending new
lava stream pouring down its
eastern slope.
The stream, 100 yards wide and
Is feet high, started moving
toward the sea just as previous
flows were cooling after 10 days
of heavy volcanic activity.
The new flow is advancing at
the rate of 1875 feet an hour. The
previous streams came to a halt
earlier this week within a few
hundred yards of the evacuated
villages of Milo and Renazzo.
There was no immediate peril to
the villages.

Insect Control

There is undoubtedly some control
of insects from fall working stubble.
However, experimental evidence in
dicates that subsurface tillage does
not reduce the population enough to
justify the practice. While turning
the stubble under completely might
be effective in insect control, few
farmers these days are rash enough
to sacrifice stubble mulch and ex-
pose land to the ever present threat
of soil blowing.
The old idea of working the soil
because it is good for it, cannot
be justified. On the contrary, ex-
cessive tillage of land in summer
fallow is bad" for the soil. Too fire.
quent cultivation breaks down soil
structure, pulverizes clods, breaks
up stubble and generally promotes
soil blowing. In addition, soils dry
out to the depth they are cultivat-
ed, and there is some moisture lost
after each cultivation. Finally, UNI
necessary civilizations are needless
expense.

Mr.. DryIand Farmer:
Why Fall Plow?

ONE PRACTICE WHICH is rap
idly disappearing in northern Mon
tana is that of mold board blowing
stubble in the fall. However. fall
blading stubble as an initial opera
ton in the preparation of summer
fallow is sometimes practiced.
Among the reasons commonly adj
vanced for fall tillage are control
ling weeds to save moisture, open
ing the soil for better moisture pene-
tration during the winter, insect
control and working the soil because
it is good for it." Also, the oper-
ator might wish to crop annually
for one or more years in order to
change his strip width or to bal
ance his summer fallow and crop
acreage.
Flowing Releases Moisture
1t is a generally recognized fact,
today, that small grain crop will
remove the disable soil moisture
from dryland soils to depth of four
or more feet by harvest time. An
nual weeds growing in stubble after
harvest are dependent upon the
small amount of rainfall received
during the dry fall months.
Working the soil to kill weeds and
prevent the use of this moisture may
be of some benefit during wet falls,
when heavy weed growth is pres
ent. However, this will also cause
a certain amount of drying. and
usually but little of the moisture is
conserved by the practice.
An examination of the expert
mental data collected at the north
Montana branch station, for a 30
year period, brings to light some in
teresting facts about tilling stubble
in the fall.
Opening the soil for better pene-
tration of winter moisture also can
not be justified by present expert
mental evidence. Late fall rains
are generally moderate in intensity
and amount, the weather is cool,
and run-off is almost unknown
Winter precipitation in the form OF
snow falls on frozen ground and un-
less. held in place will blow off ano

Little difference is observable be-
tween fall and spring blowing for
spring wheat, but definite yield adj
vantages are indicated for oats and
barley in favor of spring blowing.
However, there are other factors
which should be considered Plow-
ing in the dry fall months is costly.
The land is usually left in an ex-
tremely rough and cloddy condition.
Even when the large clods are left
exposed to the weathering condi-
tons of winter they frequently do
not work down well in the spring,
require extra tillage operations, and
too often result in poor seed bed.
Weed growth is almost invariably
more troublesome on fall blowing
than on spring blowing.
When all factors are considered,
fall blowing has little if any place
in the dryland areas of Montana. 1t
is costly practice and if blowing is
necessary at all, it is preferable to
delay the operation until spring.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-09-01

of summerfallow. These benefits
have not been demonstrated exper-
mentally in terms of crop yields,
but the physical condition of dry
land soils seems to be improved by
this practice This is especially true
in the heavier dryland soils of Mon
tana.
However, if the mold board pillow
is used as the first tool in prepar-
ing summerfallow, and blowing is
performed in the fall, then the land
is exposed to two winters, the soil
loses its desirable cloddy structure
and smooths over, which promotes
soil blowing. In addition, extra Gull
tivation is necessary to control
weed on summerfallow prepared in
this manner.
Initial Preparation
In establishing strip cropping, in
changing strip widths, or in balanc-
ing SummertalloW and crop acreageS,
it may be necessary at times to
crop dryland for two or more con-
secutive years. In these instances
the mold board pillow might be used
to advantage in the initial prepare
ton for seeded. Under these con-
ditions the relative merits of fall
versus spring blowing can be most
logically discussed. In the tabula-
ton below long time average yields
of spring wheat, oats and barley are
compared in three tillage methods.
Summerfallow is included only to
call attention to its merits over any
annual cropping practice.
