WEATHER, DEVICES
SPEED HARVEST Of
AREA SUGAR BETS
More Mechanical Operation
NOted-SOme Dug Potatoes,
Threshed Wheat Freeze

Taking full advantage of favor
able weather prevalent since the
opening of the harvest, sugar beet
growers in the vicinity of Laurel
and elsewhere in the Yellowstone
valley have made swift progress
in digging, transporting and deliv-
ering the beets to receiving sta
tons of the Great Western Sugar
company. The operation this au-
tumn is different from any preced-
ing it in the extent to which it has
become mechanical.
In addition to wringing out
much of the hand labor, growers
have produced beets with good
sugar content and reasonably small
tare. The mechanical process is
not perfect, but satisfactory prog
ress has been made towards con-
version from hand to machine
methods.
Reporting for the state, cooper
ating state and federal agencies
at Helena said Tuesday afternoon
that so per cent of the Montana
beets have been dug, and that har-
vest of potatoes, flax and alfalfa
seed is progressing rapidly. Po-
tato digging is 81 per cent COM
pleted, though damage from freez-
ing has occurred in many areas.
Deer Lodge county reports "a per
cent damaged, Lewis and Clark
county says Is, and Broadwater re-
ports 80. Storage will be uncertain
unless all of the damaged potatoes
are first separated from those thus
far unframed.
Only about 8 per cent of the
flax crop in the state remains to
be cut. The harvest of alfalfa seed
is progressing rapidly; about three
fourths of the acreage is now
threshed. But in the principal
alfalfa seed producing area along
the Yellowstone river only about
Sc per cent of it is now out of the
way.
Substantially all the intended
winter wheat acreage has been
seeded. Stands are good in all
areas and are making good growth.
Soil moisture is adequate to abun-
.ant, except for several sections
in the southeast corner of the
state.
The favorable weather of the
past few weeks has permitted grain
growers to complete the harvest
Of nearly all their late crops.
Threshing of shocked and swathed
grain is still in progress, though
IF diminishing volume. Because of
The shortage of railroad box a r
and the high moisture content of
some grain, large quantities have
oeen piled on the ground. Cooling
weather. slowed the drying out
process and consequent storing. A
result has been that some wheat
has been damaged by freezing,
unfit, for milling, will be

Livestock continues to Craze on

AWARD WHITMAN
ARMY SILVER STAR
Laurel Enlisted Man Given
Citation, Medal For Gal
lantry In Action

With the First Cavalry Division
in North Korea.-The Silver Star
decoration for gallantry in action
against the enemy has been award
ed Cpl. Fred S. Whitman, Jr., son
of Fred S. Whitman of Laurel,
Mont. Corporal Whitman earned
the decoration during fighting at
Waegwan, Korea, Aug. II while
serving with the First cavalry di-
vision.
The citation accompanying the
decoration reads:
Corporal Fred S. Whitman
Junior (then private) Infantry,
United States Army, a member of
Company C, 9Th Cavalry regiment,
LIST Cavalry division, for gallantry
in action against the enemy on II
August 1850 at Waegwan, Korea.
When his unit launched a counter
attack against the enemy, Corporal
Whitman picked up a machine gun
and with the aid of a South Korean
Soldier, charged up a hill under
heavy enemy automatic weapons
fire and captured the top of the
hill. When his unit was forced to
withdraw due to the enemy being
reinforced, Corporal Whitman stay
ed on the hill, and with complete
disregard for his own safety, con-
tinued to fire his machine gun I'M
til the ammunition was exhausted.
He then fired his carbine into the
the face of the charging enemy
until it's ammunition was exhaust
ed. His gallant action greatly as
sisted the withdrawal of his unit
and the evacuation of the wounded
and reflects great credit upon HIM
self and the military service"
Notice of the award was in gen.
eral orders, then restricted, issued
more than a month after the
action. A copy has since been re-
ceived by relatives here.
Under date of Oct. 3, 1t. Homer
S. Long wrote the following from
Korea:
"Dear Mrs. Southworth.-I was
your brothers platoon leader for
some time, and it is with great
pleasure that 1 pencil you this
note.
"Sgt. Fred Whitman is one of
the finest soldiers l have ever
known. You may well be proud of
him as is every man of this COM
pany. The decoration he has re-
ceived speaks for itself and any
further praise by me would be
useless"

V.F.W.'s Petition For
"HOnOrarium" To Be
Placed On Ballot

Necessary signatures on an initia-
tive petition for putting a Montana
World war II veterans 'honorar-
lum" on the general election ballot
in November was filed Thursday
night.
Petitions bearing 1901 sigma
lures, a few more than the re-
quired number, were on file in the
secretary of states office at the
midnight headline.
Signatures filed represented the
required 8 per cent of the total
vote cast at the last general cleo
ton in % counties, 5 more than
was required.
The $22, 000 900 initiative mea-
sure would give Montana veterans
$40 a month for service in the
United States and SIS a month for
overseas duty. 1t would be financed

sized the measure is not a "bonus,'
held unconstitutional by the state
supreme court in 1923. 1t is an
honorarium, which the V. F. w. de-
fines as a reward for service to
the state during the time of actual
conflict"
Approximately $4,000 would be
eligible for the bonus, for service

41ITIIITIIVVIITIII ITIII"II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
REFRIGERATION OF
~FOODSTUFFS

fOODSTUFFS
Proper refrigeration of food
stuffs is particularly important
during the summer months of the
year. Perishable foods should be
kept at proper temperature, if
most food poisoning outbreaks are
to be kept at a minimum.
Different foods should be kept at
different temperatures for proper
storage. No refrigerator should be
allowed to exceed a maximum tenn
perature of So F., and the mini
mum temperature should be about
99' F. The temperature in refrig-
orators vary from the top to the
bottom and those foods recurring
low temperatures should be kept
closes to the freezing unit. These
foods include milk and milk prod
ucts; and meat and meat products.
Foods containing eggs or milk
should not be allowed to stand out
Of refrigeration before use, and
leftover foods should Immediately
be placed in the refrigerator.
This simple rule can be applied
to almost any household or COM
mercial establishment: foods that
cannot be kept hot must be kept
cold.
Locker Storage
Many persons are interested in
proper storage for locker plants.
Contrary to popular opinion,
frozen foods cannot be stored in
definitely. This is particularly true
If they are not stored at safe tenn
peratures.
There are two factors involved
In the keeping of foods. First is
the activity of yeasts and molds.
Proper sanitary precautions must
be taken to keep these foods free
from yeasts and molds. Mold ac-
continues down to a temper
ature of 150 F. Second is the ac-
ton of engines which are found
n all food products. At a temper
sture of zero degrees the action
II the engines is slowed consid-
,rables. 1t cannot, however, be
completely. Because of the
of these engines, fruits be-
ONE discolored; vegetables be-
ONE tough or "haylike", and fats
II meats become rancid
The locker law of the state of
lontana provides that storage
ecker rooms shall be kept at zero
egrees, or less, and except for de-
resting, the temperature should
OF be allowed to rise above this
oint. Even with the best refriger-
ton conditions, storage over too
ing a period of time will definitely
fleet the quality of foods. Persons
sing lockers should keep a rec
I'd of Withdrawals from the locker
nd withdraw the foods that have
zen held the longest.
Refrigeration at the present time
couples a most important position
the food industry. 1t is i'm
ortant to consumers because by
'oper application of refrigeration
better diet can be maintained.
owever, in order to obtain the
.ximum benefits, refrigerations
ust be properly used.

Newsprinf Executive
Declines 10 Testify
Before House Unit
BY the Asseeiefed Press

MONTREAL, June Pr. M.
Fowler, president of the News
print Association of Canada, said
today there would be no useful
purpose to be served" in his testi-
flying before a subcommittee of
the United States House of Repre-
sentatives on conditions in the
newsprint industry.
His position was made known
in a letter to Chairman Celler of
the House Judiciary Committee.
A subcommittee on the study of
monopoly power has been investi-
eating the newsprint situation and
will open hearings on the subject
June 10.
In a lettr dated June 2, Mr..
Celler invited Mr.. Fowler to tes-
tify. A copy of the letter and re-
ply were made public by Mr.. Fow-
Ter today.
Recalls Invitation.
Mr.. Fowler drew attention TO
a letter he wrote Febrary 8 in
viting Mr.. Celler's committee to
come to Canada for a study of
Canadian newsprint production
and obtain all facts.
Mr.. Fowler's letter to Mr.. celler
added:
Il have had no further word
from you as to the committee s
decision, although I noticed a
statement of yours released to the
press in April that you did not
need to come to Canada to be
'wined and dined' and that you
were already getting the informa-
ton you wanted.
There have also been state
ments ascribed to you in the press
charging that Canadian newsprint
firms and Canadian provincial
governments had participated in
price-f1xing arrangements against
United States publishers and that
Canadian manufacturers had Gre
ated artificial scarcities' and were
'curtailing production'-all this
some weeks in advance of your
newSprint hearings"
Answered Questions.
Mr.. Fowler also drew attention
to a reply he made to questions
directed to him by Franklin D.
Schurz, chairman of the news
print committee of the Inland
Daily Press Association. He said
the reply largely covers the
materials I would be able to pre-
sent to your committee if came
to Washington"
Last Thursday. MIR. Fowler re-
leased copies of correspondence
with Mr.. SchurZ and an 18-page
brief of newsprint conditions.
He said mutual effort must be
made by Canadian newsprint
manufactures and American pub
fishers if they are to avoid con-
tinuing feuds and difficult busi-
ness conditions.
He said the Canadian newsprint
price index level Is still sub
stantially below that of general
United States commodities and
has risen less than 21a per cent
since l948.
