long axis of branches usually never
heal over. Such areas make ex-
cellent openings for the entry of
wood decaying fungi. If this type
of dehorning pruning must be
done, the cut should be made just
above a strong bud or shoot and
should be run back at about a
45-degree angle from it. The choice
of bud or shoot will depend on
which direction the pruner wishes
the limb to develop to maintain
the desired shape.
The more severe the pruning, the
greater the production of water
sprouts. These are numerous fast
growing shoots that arise most at
the area of injury and in places
along the limbs. These water
sprouts seldom produce branches in
desirable locations. A series of
weak crotches develop at the origin
Of dehorning which eventually be-
come very susceptible to splitting
as a result of rot and decay.

Butchery or Surgery?
The natural shape and appear
ance OF countless shade trees is de-
stroyed each year at the hands of
inexperienced tree pruners. The
skilled pruner does not destroy the
natural form or outline of the tree
when he prunes. Only under excep-
tlonal conditions is heavy pruning
recommended. One of these comes
as the result of storm damage
or If trees interfere with power
lines. But even under such condi-
tions there is right and a wrong
way of doing it.
Dehorning, topping" and chair
cutting" are pruning examples per-
formed by person unacquainted
with proper methods of pruning.
These latter methods open up large
wounds throughout which seldom
can heal during the lifetime of the
tree. These wounds leave openings
for the entry of various wood de-
caying fungi which eventually kill
the tree. Severely prunde trees
are opened up So that the hot sun
will cause scalding of the branches
particularly on the south and west
sides of the trunks and limbs. The
life expectancy of trees treated in
such a manner is reduced very con-
slderably. Drastic pruning can
affect the food supply of the trees
and thus weaken them.
In removing branches the final
cuts should always be made as
close as possible to the remaining
part in order to ensure as quick a
healing as possible. Protruding lips
or stubs should never be left on
a tree as it is impossible for these
to heal over. Damaged or decayed
branches should be removed in
similar manner beyond the point
where there is no decay evident.
The leaving of stubs and ragged
pruning wounds is the mark of
poor pruner.
Cuts made at right angles to the

RECENT MOISTURE
BENEFIT TO RANGE
Hay Supply On Farms About
Depleted-Rising Tenn
perature Needed

Montana's ranges and pastures
are in excellent condition for a
heavy crop of new grass as the
whole state has been favored with
a good supply of recent moisture.
The grass has made a good start
in the southern part of Montana
but is greatly retarded in the
northern half. Below normal tenn
peratures throughout most of
April, coupled with heavy snow at
the months end have reduced graz
ing of livestock to minimum.
Ranchers are going through a try
ing period because of the shortage
of old feed and the Lack of hay in
many instances. Hay stocks on
farms and ranches are at a dan
gerously low level. Fast rising
temperatures are needed for grass
growth which will alleviate the
situation. Optimum conditions for
grazing are about three weeks or
more later than normal. The re-
ported range condition has i'm
proved slightly during the month
In all areas except in parts of
south central and southwest Mon
tana where the moisture supply
through much of April was short
Stock water supplies are excellent.
Cattle and new born calves suf-
fered further hardships during the
recent storms and heavy snowfalls. |
Ranchers depending on green feed |
were forced to feed up their dwin-
ding supplies of old feed, which
were exhausted in many instances.
By the feeding of old hay and
roughages, ranches were able to
maintain the condition of cattle
and thus no improvement was re-
tarded during the month. A few
calves were lost in the snow storms
and a number of additional losses
are reported from vitamin A de-
ficiency. This deficiency is trace
able to the prolonged feeding of
poor quality dry hay and roughage.
Some cow losses have also been
reported from the vitamin defi-
cheney and the weakened condi-
ton of cows resulting from the
hard winter. On the whole, a near
normal calf crop is in prospect.
Many cattle are thinner than nor
NAL but are sufficiently thrifty :
to make good gains when grass
become available in quantity. The !,
contracting of calves appears to be
slower than normal, with prices c
ranging from 21 to 26 cents per v
pound. Cows for replacement pur- G
poses are in strong demand and {
moving at $175 to 5000 per head. q
Lambing is drawing to a close S
n the western part of the state q
md is well started in other sec O
ions. Some losses have occurred "
lmong those dropped during the t
ecent snow storms. However, the Il
ambs are thrifty and a heavy
ver-all crop is expected. The May q
condition of sheep and lambs at s.
3 is unchanged from a month g
arlier, which also reflects poor Il
Teather conditions during April. A a
ew lambs have been contracted for s,
all delivery at prices ranging from d.
to "a cents a pound. w

also unwanted. Low hanging
branches that come below 10 or IL
feet should be eliminated as they
interfere with traffic. These are
some of the important items of
consideration in pruning of shade
trees.
Pruning of most shade trees is
best done in early spring while
the buds are still dormant. Certain
trees, such as NAPLES and birch,
should be pruned during the sum-
mer as they bleed profusely if
pruned in the spring.

Simple Method
Of Preventing
Fires Revealed

A simple method Of reducing
the Christmas tree fire hazard
to a minimum was offered Sat
urday by Walter /. Meyers. SUI
perintendent of the Parks and
Recreation departments forestry
and landscape division.
Soak the butt end Of the
tree for "a TO 30 hours in . So
luton of five pounds Of cal
cium chloride in . gallon Of
water" Meyers advises.
The solution is absorbed
throughout the tree, making il
flame proof and very nearly fire
proof For best results cut the
butt at an agile to achieve maxi
mum absorption of the chemical.
"A tree treated by this method
will not flare into flame sudden
ly. In fact, it would be hard to
make it catch on fire"
Meyers pointed out that cal
cium chloride is inexpensive and
is available at hardware stores.

ter's survey had found as the basic reasons
why Americans don't vote.
A lady from New York wrote me that she
thought people did not vote because I'VE grow
up taking for granted that all the big shots in
Washington are too 'big-shottish' for us COM
mon folk" Another New Yorker wrote that
the "mumbo-jumbo and fence-straddling of
candidates for offices leaves the voters con-
fused"
Some, of course, mentioned rather more
prosaic reasons. One lady wrote me that she
didn't vote because she was kept sitting
around for Is or 20 minutes in dirty hole"
of voting place while the registration Off
GERS ate ice-cream cones. DR.. Dichter found,
too, in his survey that physical considera-
tions such as the time required to register
and to vote, the convenience of access to the
voting place and the physical arrangements
there as we'll as the conduct of the election
officials were factors.
Of course, my resolution in the House of
Representatives, DR.. Dichter's survey, my
own survey of the state governors and other
inquiries on this subject have all been direct
ed to learning what ought to be done about it.
The easy answer is to call for compulsory vot-

Voting Apathy in Portland, Me.
IHERE have also been some interesting efforts
to determine scientifically why so many Amer
leans don't vote One of special significance
was begun early in l949 by DR.. Ernest Dich-
ter, psychological consultant of New York
City, who has since published the results of
his study made in the city of Portland. Me.
He tried to determine why only Is to 20 per
cent of the eligible citizens of Portland voted
in the city elections. DR.. Dichter found that
non-voting was attributable not as much to
political apathy as to political Illustration.
Many who did not vote felt sense of not be-
longing as full citizens, others lacked the cour-
age and emotional maturity which it takes
to vote and still others were overcrltlCal and
hence did not vote on the plague on both
your houses theory.
The ordinary citizens political Illustration
was found to be the dominant note through
out in DR.. Dichter's survey. He felt that
there was feeling almost as if only rebellion
would bring about changes and as the people
of Portland were basically lawful they just
shut this feeling up within themselves and
did nothing.
few months ago l introduced bill
blouse Resolution 64D to investigate through
a special committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives why Americans don't vote and
what ought to be done about it. This brought
out great deal of editorial comment, as well
as many letters from individuals. These let
tiers on the whole confirmed what DR.. Dich

countries around the world has indeed result
ed in bringing out the vote up to 80 per
cent of those eligible in most countries where
tried. Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia
and New Zealand have compulsory voting
now as do in one form or another IL of our 20
Central and South American neighbor coun-
tries, among them Brazil, Peru, Uruguay,
Panama and Guatemala.
Interestingly enough, there is tradition of
compulsory voting in our own country it
existed in most of the l3 colonies before the
Revolution But the sentiment of our
people is opposed to it, as my survey of
the state governors conclusively confirms.
There are, however, other remedies which
we have not yet begun to try on large scale
DR.. Dichters survey showed that among
these are better personal acquaintance with
public servants, the creation of easy channels
of communication to them and the introduc-
ton of many physical Improvements.
These were tried in Portland by having
more frequent meetings between the citizens
and their officials in each community, by CIV
to speak personally with their public officials
and by broadcasting in popular form great
deal of information about the city govern
ment Physical conditions with respect to
voting were made more convenient.
In the election following DR.. Dichter's sur
vey, voting increased by one third in Port
land as result of these Improvements.
Election Day a National Holiday?
some of my colleagues in Congress have
turned up interesting ideas on how to increase
voting Senator Magnuson Dem = Wash.)
has introduced bill to declare the November
election day a national holiday. Senator
LANCER Rep. = N. d. has introduced bill
to provide a $25 credit on the income tax of
every person voting. Representative Klein
Dem. - N. W has raised the ante; his bill
offers $50 credit if the taxpayer voted during
the taxable year.
Voters themselves also have ideas on the
subject. A college professor wrote me that
our ballots were too long and had too many
candidates and that more people would vote
if they had to choose only one representative
as in the British parliamentary system, letting
the representatives so chosen do all the rest
AS for compulsory voting, there are several
serious objections. Congress could only
approach the matter by way of either Con-
stitutional amendment - cumbersome pro-
cedure - or uniform state statute" This
is simply law which Congress recommends
aud which tho ctateS adoDt Voluntarily

forms we ought to try before we think seriously

0vER 95 900 900 Americans could go to the
~ polls for the critically important 1850
elections. Probably scarcely more than 35,-
100000 will do so. Why?
In 1948, face to face with the enormous
issues of the cold war and reconstruction
throughout the world, only 81 6 per cent of the
adult population voted - $4,000 900 out of
the "a 100000 who were eligible. The record
is much worse in congressional than in presi-
dental elections - in 1916, for instance, 37.5
per cent voted, "a 100000 out of the 81. l.OOO,-
600 eligible In 1912, it was only 32.4 per cent.
Why our people don't vote is problem
that has troubled Congress for long time.
The Importance of voting today far exceeds
its Importance in other, less critical days For
today the United States is locked in
life-and- death effort to preserve the very
institutions free elections - which are
so strikingly under -patronized.
To try to find out more about the question
| recently made survey among the COVER
nors of all the 48 states asking them two ques-
tions: first, why they thought enough people
didn't vote in their own states; and, second,
what they thought ought to be done about it.
Most of the governors favor an investigation
to find out why enough people don't vote on
national scale. though all have reasons of
their own to assign. Yet Interestingly enough
they are almost unanimous in being against
compulsory voting.
~People Are Lethargic"
HE governor of a southern state said the
only way to get increased voting participation
outside of the Democratic primary in the

nee" The governor of mid-western indus
