AUDIENCE DELIGHTED BY BROOKS CONCERT

An audience of approximately 100 listened enthralled at the concert by Benry L. Brooks in the Methodist Church last Fri day evening.
 MT. Brooks is an accomplished organist, and played the Roberta Smith Memorial organ. His train arrived too late to allow him to test the instrument and the building for acoustics, but he did not appear to be disturbed by the delay.
 His program consisted of two compositions by Bach, including Fugue, Sibelius' Finlandia and the well loved Liebestraume. Several colorful tone poems were very popular with the lis teners who seemed to prefer them to the heavier works of Bach.

School Budget For 1950-51
 To Be $112,014

Superintendent of Schools Carl Carlson presented the budget for 195O-51 to the City Council Monday evening in the amount of S112,014, an increase of ST. 354.
 Upon protest that the budget was pretty stitf,' MT. Carlson stated that the cause of part of the increase is due to the in- creased number of children en- rolled by the end of this year. According to law, the Territorial Board of Education refunds up to 80 per cent of the total cost to schools with an enrolment of 300 or less. This refundable amount decreases to 75 per cent when the enrolment tops 300. This month the school enroll ment is BOT.
 MT. Carlson predicts that the fall enrolment will top 400. He accounts for his figures by stat ing that they are graduating 15 in the senior class but are pick ing up AS in the first grade in September. That although there were only BOT in actual attend ance during the past year, the total enrolment was 362.
 Two principals have been asked for next year. Mrs. Harold Camper will continue as high school principal, and MT. Tramp ton, presently at Moose Pass, will be grade school principal Two extra teachers, and two janitors are budgets, as well as a full time clerk in the superin- tendent's office.
 Cost of instruction, according to the budget, would be S32,280, of which S61,O35 would be Terri torial and S21,245 city provided.
 The total for the year would be S112,014, of which the Terri tory would refund S77,598, and the cost to Seward would be S34,416. At this rate, the cost of education of children of Seward is about S345.00 each per year. The 2 per cent sales tax will barely cover cost of operation and payment on the school bond.

Consolidated Toxicob Companies Ask 2O-Yeur Franchise

A consolidation of taxicab companies in the city to operate under the title Northern Cabs, Incorporated, petitioned the City Council last night for a 2O-year franchise for exclusive rights to operate in Seward.
 R. E. Baumgartner, attorney for the corporation and George Giardina, proposed an ordinance fixing the rates at 50 cents any where within the corporate limits of Seward. The corpora tion to operate not less than four vehicles at any time, each to be equipped with two-way radio, and fully insured for liability to person and property.
 The corporation holds options from the three existing taxi com panies to relinquish their rights in favor of the proposed consoli- dation.
 Under suspension of the rules, the City Council passed the or dinance, subject to referendum vote of the people. A special election was called for June 19 for the purpose of giving or re- fusing the taxicab franchise in Seward.

Suno+oriun School Finishing First Yecr

The first school year at the Seward Sanatorium is drawing to a close It is the first year that any tuberculosis sanatorium in the Territory has had full time teacher. The pupils, the staff and the teacher, Miss Goldie Busko, agree that the project has been success.
 The school course, as set up by the Department of Educa- tion in Juneau, is designed pri- marily for the children in the sanatorium between the ages of 2 and 16, but Miss Busko also has adult students. The work with the adults is on a volun- tary basis for both the students and Miss Busko.
 Since the health program with it's curing of the patients is the primary and most important function of the sanatorium, Miss Busko sandwiches the les sons in between rest periods, meals, and the other routine of the sanatorium.
 She goes from ward to ward and bed to bed giving the lessons at the bedsides of her pupils. The Territory provides all the textb ooks for the student patients and is sending com plete new set of books for the fall classes.

APPLIc ATOMS OF NITROGEN
fertilizer significantly increased
yields of corn in tests conducted by
the Huntley branch of the Montana
experiment station in 1949.
The experiments were conducted
on irrigated land on the Art Sher-
man farm near Ballantine. The Flu
ture Farmers of America chapter of
the Huntley project high school and
particularly Dale Sherman, an FLA
member, co-operated in the expert
ment
Paynes white dent (open polli-
nated) and Wisconsin No. 279 (hy-
brid) varieties of corn were used.
They were planted on land believed
TO be of moderately low fertility
with respect to nitrogen and which
had had three applications of phos-
plate fertilizer in the previous eight
years of cropping.
Applied Before Irrigation
All fertilizer used in the 1949
crop year was applied Immediately
following the first cultivation and
just prior to the first irrigation when
the corn was 10 to IL inches high.
Ammonium sulphate GO percent nj
trogen) and super phosphate (43 per-
cent P2O5) were the forms of ferti-
izer applied.
1t is generally recommended that
phosphate fertilizer be applied early
in the growing season and that nj
trogen be applied as was done IN
this case. However, because of the
previous applications of phosphate
and the economies of application,
both were applied at one time.
The yield results shown in chart
form are but for one year. At best
they should be considered as only

Nitrogen, Phosphate Tested on Corn
BY O. A. TANNERS, Superintendent
HuntIey Branch Station

an indication of performance to be
expected from repetition of sim
liar fertilizer applications, since it
would be expected that similar fer
tilizer applications on high fertil-
ity irrigated soils would give small
er yield increases.
If a farmer wished to determine
whether his land is deficient in nj
trogen, he could apply ammonium
sulphate at the rate of 200 to 300
pounds per acre to a small part of
his corn crop. The greater his soil
deficiency, the greater will be the
difference in color, size of plant and
yield.
Increased Yields
AS the tabulated results indicate,
nitrogen fertilizer significantly in
creased the yield of corn. Higher
rates of application produced high
er rates of yield, but the rate of eff
ficiency decreased after the first 38
pounds of application. At 38 pounds
the rate of production was 1 bushel
of corn for each 201 pounds of nj
trogen. At IS pounds the increase
was at the rate of l bushel for each
343 pounds of nitrogen and at IA
pounds it was l bushel for each 3.73
pounds of nitrogen.
The Wisconsin No. 279 hybrid pro-
duced significantly higher yield
than the open pollinated Paynes
white dent. This was true not only
in this test but in yield tests made
during the past five years at the
Huntley station.
Similar fertilizer tests will be car
ried on on farms in the supper Vel
lewstone valley, on not only corn
but on beets and other field crops
as well.
