Chart Converts
Gu. Fl. to Bushels
By w. F. SCHAPHORST

SINCE IT IS FREQUENTLY de-
sirable to convert a given number of
cubic feet into bushels, which is vir-
tually what is done when one COM
putes the capacity of any bin, a
conversion scale of this kind will be
found handy by many readers.
All that is necessary in the appli-
cation of this scale is to glance from
the number of cubic feet in column
A directly across to column B, and
Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-09-01
cUBH FEET
BU5HlLa

there's the answer-in bushels. For
example: How many bushels will
bin hold whose dimensions are 10
feet wide by 10 feet long by 20 feet
deep.
Answer: The volume in cubic feet
of this bin is of course 10x10x20
equals 1000 cubic feet.
Find the 1000 in column A and
right across is the answer-approxi-
mately 1000 bushels.
This chart has the advantage that
it is applicable to bin of any form
rectangular, square, round ellipti-
cal, ETC., or it may be applied to ir-
regular or conical piles.

Fast Action Can
Save Wet Wheat

SOME FARMERS who stored
grain when wet or green are fearful
it may spoil.
1t may, if it has a moisture com
tent of IA percent or more, says
D. J. Davis, superintendent, Mon
tain Grain Inspection laboratory at
Montana State college. Fortunately
grain stored when wet can be saved
by immediate action.
Where farmer has two granaries,
he can move the grain from one to
the other. The moving from one
granary to another and then back
into the original granary generally
will dry out the grain. If the NOV
ing can be done with a portable ele-
vator, the air will have a greater
opportunity to use its drying out
powers.
Where there is only one granary,
about the only suggestion Davis has
is that the grain be taken out of the
granary and piled on the ground.
Moving it back into the granary
should complete the drying out proc
ess. Here again an elevator would
make the drying out process more
certain.
Grain stored in small bins could
be elevated into trucks and then be
put back into the granary.
Commercial elevators can do the
drying by moving the wheat from
one bin to another. However, they
are not too happy to accept grain
with too high a moisture content.
Davis says he believes that very
little grain is stored when too green.
The main reason for high moisture
content is that farmers get impatient
when the grain is ready to harvest.
Too often their impatience prompts
them to start harvesting too early
in the morning before the dew has
had chance to dry off. Waiting an
extra hour would probably elimi-
nate the moisture hazard that can
be SO costly.

East Germans Grained
Little Choice in Voting
BY the Assoelaisd Press

BERLIN, July 1.-The voter in
the Russian zone of Germany was
given the choice tonight of sup
porting the Communist-controlled
government at the October Is
elections or branding himself an
enemy Of peace.
The regime made this clear In
an announcement by It's Peace
Committee"
The government calls itself pro-
visional. The October voting is
to establish it permanently.
The Peace Committees state
ment claimed 100000 of the
10000 900 East Germans have
signed a petition to outlaw the
atom bomb. The drive for sigma
lures ends September 20 with a
huge rally in East Berlin.
The committee made it clear
the peace promotion will be tied
in with the fall elections. Hand
picked candidates on a single list
to be presented to the voters, per-
mitting no opposition, will be
known as "the peace ticket"

His first move for morale this
time was his dramatic flight to

ulcers to his security officers. En-
|emy air forces were active. For. a
70-year-old veteran-and for
much younger men-it also was
an arduous trip.
In day Of ceaseless activity
Gen. Macarthur had one meal.
Because he wanted to drive to the
front his lunch was a candy bar.
There's one major difference
between the battle today and the
one nine years ago. Gen. Mac
Arthur now has a powerful air
force. a well-trained army, strong
naval units, and international
support.
He has begun to use these with
the skill and speed that makes all
his strategy.
He is racing against time.
He has just begun to fight.

was no doubt of the military

To End Rail Strike in
View Of Korea Crisis
BY the Associated Pres.


The Government urgently called
upon the AFL Switchmen's Union

current critical developments" in
Korea.
The union put off a reply until

John Thad Scott, jr.. new chair
man of the National Mediation
Board, sent a telegram to the
union saying that current criti-
cal developments unmistakably
reveal the urgent necessity for
prompt restoration of full serv-
Ice.
The telegram also said: "It is
unnecessary to impress upon you
the seriousness of the national
situation at this time. We are
confident of the patriotism of the
good American citizens in your
ranks and anxiously await your
prompt and favorable response"
Explains His Reference.
Chairman Scott, when asked if
the current critical develop
ments" phrase was reference to
the fighting in Korea, replied that
both the Korean situation and
the national situation were in
volved.
The Switchmen's Union has
been on strike since last Sunday
against the Chicago Rock Island
g. Pacific. the Chicago Great
Western, the Western Pacific, the
Denver 81 Rio Grande Western,
and the Great Northern. The
issue is the 40-hour week. All but
the Great Northern shut down.
and that railroad. which carries
large amounts of iron ore, has
been on reduced schedule.
Chicago Meeting Planned.
c. E. McDaniels, chairman of
the unions 40-hour week COM
mittee. said in Chicago the switch
men will announce their decision
today. He sent a telegram to this
effect to Government officials
here.
Mr.. McDaniels said the deci-
sion would be reached at meet
ing of the committee and union
President Arthur j. Glover in
Chicago Sunday morning.
Mr.. Glover declined any COM
ment Immediately on the Govern
ment sequest.
He was reached by telephone
at his mothers home in Fort At
kinson. Wis. When he was read
the text of the Scott telegram.
Mr.. Glover said: II won't have
any comment today"
Says 2 Are Needed to Agree.
Were trying to get this set
tied and I'm as anxious as the
Government to see it ended" Mr..
Glover said. "But it takes two
parties to make an agreement.
The simplest way to get the strike
out Of the way is to make an
agreement"
Mr.. Glover said he may fly to
Washington today and testify to-
morrow before Senate committee
which is hearing testimony ON a
bill that would outlaw railroad
strikes in favor of compulsory
arbitration. h
an the national interest,"" Mr..
Scott said in his telegram, "this
board urgently requests that the
strike be called of Immediately.
and that full service be promptly |
restored"
He said similar disputes now are
pending disputes with the train
men and conductors. who have
threatened a strike July 15). and
"you can readily understand that
the entire matter cannot be set
