Montana farmer-stockman., 1950-09-01


more serious weed pests in western
Montana. Probably the only reason
why this weed is not more serious
is that it has not yet had time to
move into much of the area.
Goatweed is different from most of
our other weeds in that it is pri-
marily a range land weed and usu-
ally does not infest crop land with
the exception of pastures. On this
basis goatweed is primarily the prob
lem of stockmen as well as private
and public landholding agencies.
Infest Amy Grass
The reason why this weed is an
extremely serious range land weed
is that it appears to be able to infest
almost any stand of grass and re-
duce carrying capacity to almost
zero.
Goatweed is also known as kla-
math weed and St.-John's-wort in
California, Oregon, Washington and
Idaho. In these states infestations
millions of acres From all indica-
tons, Montana will be able to list its
goatweed infestations into the mil
lions of acres before too many years
unless some drastic control measures
are taken in the near future.
Goatweed can be killed by several
of our weed killing chemicals. How
ever, the tough part of controlling
goatweed is to reach the places
where it is growing and to control
seedlings after the plants have been
| killed.
Repeated Applications Needed
Goatweed seed will live in the
soil and produce new crop of young
plants each year for at least 8 or 9
years. This means that eradication
of this weed is a proposition which
will require control measures each
year for as long as new seedlings
continue to show up and as men
toned this will probably require a
good long time.
Goatweed is killed by applying
light rates of the soil sterilants such
as sodium chlorate and borax. Rates
required for borax are to pounds
per square rod. Sodium chlorate is
very effective at pounds per square
rod. Such low rates reduce the cost
of this type of control considerably
and for small areas offer a good
means of control at comparatively
low cost. Commercial mixtures oil
borax and sodium chlorate are non.
inflammable and should do a gooc
job at or pounds per square rod
Borax Safer
Borax has several advantages Over
the use of sodium chlorate in goat
weed control. Because goatweed il
Montana is usually growing in Of
near timber, the fire resistance O.
borax makes it better than sodium
chlorate. Also, borax with its Longer
residual effect will stop seed ger
mination longer than will sodium
chlorate.
2,4-D will kill goatweed when APP
piled at high rates before the plant
have formed seed. 2,4-D will no
have any residual effect and as a re
suit applications will have to b
made each year until seedlings hav
ceased to appear.
Control by Beetles
In addition to the chemical mean

FARMERS TELL OF CHANCES THEY'D LIKE IN SOILS PROGRAM

Palmer and Wasilla farmers, at the invitation of Lorin T. Oldroyd, director of Extension Service, re- gently appointed committees to recommend changes in the soil conservation practices program. The committees, made up of two members in each of the Palmer and Wasilla soil conservation sub districts, plus one independent farmer from each area, met last week to draft their recommenda- tions.
 Palmer farmers Harold Thuma, Bill Roark and Clair Patten could suggest only minor changes in the present program. They said they'd like some changes in ex- isting seeding rates and would like to see nitrogen added to the fertilizer lists of phosphate and potash, for which farmers can re- ceive payment.
 Wasilla farmers made num- Der of recommendations, most of them dealing with problems of land clearing. They asked for a payment of 25 cents per cubic yard of earth removed for drain age ditches. They also asked pay ment for snow fencing work in winter to prevent drifting.
 Wasilla farmers further recom- mended that the total amount of funds available to this area un- der the soil conservation practices program be increased They asked that the existing land clearing portion of the program be enlarged and that present linn itations on acreage be removed, with the entire provisions of this portion of the program being put on a pro-rata basis.
 The farmers recommendations have been forwarded to MT. Old royd for his consideration.

 If, on Memorial Day, we might spend some time remembering those things the dead ones lived for, while they with us then we think there would be more truly memorial day among us. We believe the best memorial that any man or woman may have, is the memory in someone's heort of the job they wanted to do tried to do, and left unfinished.
 To US, Memorial Day is q day when we renew again the memories of those lost by remembering again the jobs they left for to do. The things they stood for, the things they wanted to accomplish and didn't the things they left to finish for the-hose are the memories that belong in hearts Memorial Day.
 It is day in which we should remember those things they didn't do and day for us to remember all the things have yet to do-our job and theirs together. he time is short and we have double task to finish before we leave uncompeted job as some one eses memorial.

The Week in Religion
New Social Security Coveroge
Rules for Loymen Are Outlined

A different question will be pre-
sented in many instances by de-
Gliding who is the employer Of
religious lay workers. Within the
Protestant faith, many denomina-
tions recognize the local church
as the only body with inherent
powers. In this case. each church
will have to decide the matter for,
itself and will have to make ap-
plication individually. .-
A church can do this even if it
has only one eligible employe, as,
for example, the sexton. If 1t has
two full-time employees, a sexton
and an organist, for example. both
would have to vote for social Sc.
curity coverage, or neither could
obtain it. If the local church has
three employees. two of the three
would have to vot for it-and
so on.
Option for Organized Churches.
In the case of denominations
such as the Methodist Church or
the Episcopal Church, where there
is an ecclesiastical organization,
application could be made for all
of that denominations lay work.
ers within given area, should
church authorities desire. Or it
can be left to the discretion of
the individual churches, hospitals,
schools, orphansges and other
church-related bodies within the
diocese or district.
The Roman Catholic Church
will face a similar problem as to
whether application is to be made
individually by parishes or COL
lectively by dioceses and ARCH
dioceses.
In general" a spokesman for
the Federal Security Administra-
tion explained, whoever makes
out the pay checks will have to
pay the social security taxes and
they will be the appropriate body
to consider as the employer
However. where they are merely
part of a larger ecclesiastical or
ganization. we will accept what
ever application is made"
Explaining further what is
meant by "all eligible employees"
the FSA points out that in hos
pital where nurses might be COW
cred by a retirement system. but
where cooks. orderlies. and Gus
todial help are not. two thirds Of
all employees would have to vote
for coverage in order for any to
be eligible.
The same situation pertains to
schools and colleges where the
faculty may be covered by a PEN
sion system, but custodial en-
ployes are not.

Many Steel Users Face Cuts
with Order Books Closed
BY the Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 9.-Majol
steel producers have all the busi'
ness they can handle for the
rest of this year.
The big companies are closing
their order books-but not with
out making reservations for mill
tary needs.
AS a result, the amount of stee,
available for items like refrigera-
tors and autos probably will fall
below quantities used in the thiro
quarter of 1850.
Some steel products will be
harder hit than others. Some
will not feel any effect. Steel
sheets will be most affected but
tin plate, for example. probably
will be as plentiful as in the past
Fabricating companies, which
buy raw steel from producers anc
convert it into finished products
are beseiging steel statesmen ir
growing numbers. They want as
surance they will continue to re-
ceive steel shipments. They also
hope to open secondary sources
of supply.
Because steel mills have no way
of knowing if reservations fol
defense orders will prove adequate
they are chary about opening
second sources of supply.
War orders are getting a good
going over from steel companies
which want to make sure the re-
quests aren't padded by customers
trying to get extra steel.

Rising Prices, Wages
Indicate Initiation
For Busy Autumn
BY 6. A. Phillips
.sSociated praSs EiuanctaI yuriter

NEW YORK. Sept. 9.-The fall
business season got off to fast
start this week with demand for
civilian goods and services at ex-
ceptionally high levels and war
orders flowing at a faster pace.
Rising prices were as much a
part of the economic scene as
record high national income and
employment. Cotton futures, for
instance, rose to a new 30-year
peak at above Al cents a pound
and "a 2-cent-a-pound copper at
the producers mill was un-
matched since the dark days of
the first World War.
There were other signs to illus
trate the presence of imitation in
the current economic scene. Re-
cent wage hikes and rising raw
material prices suggested to many
economists that motor car makers
will shortly boost new-car prices
unless credit restrictions clamped
on installment purchases late
Friday halts demand sufficiently
to restore normal competitive
conditions in the field.
Suits and Coats Higher.
New suits and coats for fall
made their appearance in store
windows this week bearing price
tags SIS to $40 higher than last
spring. Raw wool prices have ad-
vanced to the highest level in
history in recent months and con-
tinue to rise.
The situation was so uncertain
in textiles that cotton mills with
drew all fabrics from the market
to get a better idea of what high
raw cotton prices will mean in
terms of finished goods.
The future course of prices and
other main elements in the home
front economy were subjects for
deep study on all sides in the light
of President Truman's Saturday
night address on the controls and
other steps made necessary by the
Korean incident.
Business and industry were pre-
pared for a stern warning from
the Chief Executive to keep the
home front supplied with ample
goods at reasonable prices and the
war machine fully equipped to
meet any test our military leaders
impose.
Economists Urge Controls.
All things considered, the Ma
tion's factories and farms are in
excellent condition to meet any
demands made upon them but
economists see little chance of
keeping the price structure stable
unless the Government imposes
stringent controls on everything
that goes into cost sheets, includ-
ing taxes.
Observance of Labor Day as a
holiday was responsible for some
slackening in the business pace
here and there this week but all
in all it was picture of feyerish
activity. Industrial production
rated high even with some clos
ings on Monday.
Retail trade took breather as
stores almost universally closed,
but purchases late in the previous
week in anticipation of the holi-
day and heavy expenditures at
resorts for entertainment helped
to fill the gap.
Although it was Labor Day week,
few workers in the Nations busy
steel mills took time off. AS a
result. operations stepped up to
98 per cent of capacity and ton
mage increased 1,890,100.
Crude Oil output rose to an av-
erage of 5,689,780 barerls a day,
the highest in more than a year.
Electric power production estab-
liShed another record high at
6.459 $4,000 kilowatt hours.
Freight carloadings moved ahead.

Rail Bonds Resume
Rally as investors
Study yIneome Gains
BY The Associated Pres.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9. The
summer rally in railroad bonds
was revived this week.
Investors suddenly remembered
a fact they appeared to have lost
sight of nearly month ago-the
railroads are thriving on the war
preparedness industrial program.
Carrier bonds sagged sharply
for a time after the start of the
Korean war. then struck out on a
sustained rally that lasted from
mid-July to mid-August before it
f1zzled out. due chiefly to profit
taking and inertia.
The market moved aimleSsly
this week until the final hour
Wednesday when a surge of de-
mand for rails swept in without
warning.
Buying was aggressive again
Friday and the Associated Press
average of 20 rails picked up 3
of point on that day. carrying it
to a four-year peak of 97.7.
Freight Volume Climbs.
Prime consideration of investors
and spectators in rails was that
the roads are increasing their
volume of freight almost daily.
The Association of American Rail-
roads reported that more freight
cars were loaded last week than in
any week since November, 1948.
They also are keeping in mind
that when and if an excess profits
tax is levied next year, the rail-
roads probably will be given a
relatively sheltered status in view
OF their heavy capitalization. And,
an added point, the roads interest
payments on bonds come before
taxes.
Industrial and foreign dollar
bonds lost little ground during
the week, while foreign dollar is
sues Just about held the price
line.
Trading volume in the four-day
week increased to $13.415, 300, par
value, from $11.816,000 the week
before, when there were five trad
ing days.
The trend was downward in
over the counter. trading in
United States Treasury bonds.
Numerous issues lost "a of a point
or more during the week.
Big Offerings Scheduled.
The annual autumn trek of the
corporations to market for funds
gets underway next week, when
three major issues totaling more
than $40 million will be sold az
competitive bidding.
Tennessee Gas Transmission
Co. will open bids Monday for $40
million of first mortgage bonds.
The following day, Virginia
Electric & Power CO. will sell $40
million of first refunding mort
gage bonds and PENNSYLVANIA

equipment trust certificates.
Counteracting the upswing in
corporate debt financing will be a
slaekening in activity in financing

cipalities.

Women Voters Renew
Criticism Of Board

The Prince Georges County
League Of Women Voters yester-
day renewed its criticism of the
makeup of the county's new per-
sonnel board and the Sothoror
Act reorganizing the county gov
ernment.
In a letter to the county COM
missioners. the league referred te
its letter of August IA, which rec.
commended that no member of the
personnel board by county off,
cial or employe.
THE personnel board as estab-
lished by your body. consisting Of
the president Of the county com.
missioners, the clerk, and attorney
to the commissioners, and de.
partment heads, can hardly be
considered an impartial board,
the letter said.
In reality" the league con-
tended, "you have established
nothing and have made no change
in the way things are now being
DONE"
The letter added that the Sotho.
ron Act will do nothing toward.
undermining the county govern.
ment if in the guise of carrying
out its provisions, you use the
phrases of principles and gooc
public administration but leave
out the heart of the matter"

momentous isues of our time"
That was the gist of a report
read yesterday to the final session
of the Conference on the Church
and Good Government at the Uni

The report, prepared by the
Findings Committee of the con-
ference, also listed another duty
of the church in perilous times.
The church, it said. must care
fully preserve it's right to criticize
and, if necessary, to denounce the
action of any government which
is contrary to the principles OF

But. it added. "the kingdom o1
God must never be identified with
