A reader. Teton County.
AS far as we know, the only re-
ported case of trichinosis in hogs in
Montana occurred in 1885 in hogs
imported from Minnesota. If the
hogs you refer to are locally raised,
you need have no concern about this
parasite. Hogs become infected only
from eating raw meat that contains
the trichina, and once infected, they
carry these parasites in their
muscles as long as they live. The
kind of ration fed to infected hogs
has no influence upon the parasites
already present.

carcass grades and dressing percent.
Some of their heavier weight when
sold can be attributed to the rapid
gains made prior to weaving.
In the third generation, the 1916
46 crossbred calves were lighter at
birth than the purebred calves prob
ably due to the fact that the dams
were first calf, 3-year-oId heifers.
The 1946-47 crossbred calves were
heavier at birth than the purebred
calves. Weaving weights both years
were in favor of the crossbred calves
and this greater weight was carried
on through the feeding period.
The crossbred steers consumed
more feed and were less efficient but
made greater gains in the feedlot.
The carcass grades of the crossbreds
were superior to the purebreds and
the selling price was slightly higher,
giving a greater net return The third
generation steers showed a super
iority over the purebreds from birth
to slaughter in both weight and con-
formation and were faster gaining
during all periods of growth.
Good Feeding Qualities
In all generations the crossbreds
showed good feeding qualities were
easy to keep on feed and relatively
free of digestive disturbances. Gen
orally the third cross was the best
of the crossbred lots in rate of gain,
weight for age and carcass grade.
Variation was found in both cross
bred groups and purebred groups.
During the time of this experiment
four purebred Hereford sire groups
out-gained the crossbred groups and
four other sire groups did equally
as well.
Some of these purebred groups
weighed more at the end of the feed
ing period, sold for as much per
pound and gave a greater net return
than did the crossbreds. These groups
were from lines which have consis-
tently shown superior gaining abil-
ity and have been selected for that
characteristic.

Good Mothers
The crossbred females were good
mothers, high in fertility and pro-
duced heavy calves at weaving time.
In all cases., they were good milk
producers.
From experimental work done I'm
the south about the same results are
obtained from crossing Brahmas with
our present beef breeds. This applies
to the growth and gaining factors but
does not apply as regards to confor-
nation. There is no evidence, expert
mental or otherwise, to indicate that
Brahna cattle will Withstand the
severe winters we have in Montana.
There are some instances to indicate
they will not stand severe weather
conditions and losses can be expected
unless good shelter can be provided.
AS stated in the beginning, Mon
tana has reputation for producing
high quality beef cattle in all our
domestic breeds. This is a result of
breeding and selection over long
period of time, including the impor-
tation of excellent sires from other
areas. Results of the sire and pro-
geny testing indicate that further
improvement is possible through the
use of tested sires of high gaining
ability and selection of breeding
stock.
1t would seem that with the in
crease in crossbreeding in other
areas, with possible lowering in
quality, it would be advantageous for
Montana stockmen to continue with
breeding program to further inn
prove the quality and productiveness
of their present breeds.

MONTANA HAS GAINED con-
siderable recognition as a producer
of good type, high-quality beef cat
tie in the three predominant breeds
-Herefords, Angus and Shorthorns.
This is an enviable reputation and
one Montana producers of range beef
cattle should maintain.
There have been discussions and
some isolated experiences in cross
ing beef breeds in Montana in at
tempting to produce greater weights
at an earlier age. Between 1888 to
1947 the U. S. Range Experiment sta
ton at Miles City and Montana Ex-
pertinent station carried on a cross
breeding experiment using Here
fords, Angus and Shorthorn beef
cattle. This is summary of the
results.
Shorthorn- Hereford Cross
The original or first cross was
Shorthorn bulls on Hereford cows.
The females from this cross were
mated with Angus bulls. These fe-
males were then mated back to Here
ford bulls. The bulls in all cases
were purebred, good quality animals
and all registered. The original cows
for the first cross were random Sc
1ected from the unregistered pure
bred Herefords from the Miles City
station.
All calves were born on the range
during April and May of each year
and were weaned on the same day,
about Oct. 20 each year. All calves
were fed individually except the last
cross, which was pen fed. Each year
crossbred steer calves were fed and
handled under identical conditions
with purebred Hereford steer calves
for comparison. They were on feed
about 9 months each year and fed a
good fattening ration plus alfalfa hay,
At the end of the feeding period all
steers were shipped to market and
carcass grade data were obtained.
Crossbreds Heavier at Birth
Comparison between purebred
steers and first generation crossbred
steers showed the crossbred steers
slightly heavier at birth, weaving
and final feedlot weights. They made
more rapid gains in the feedlot ano
were slightly more efficient in then
utilization of feed. The selling price
in both lots was about the same bu
the net profit was slightly in favor
of the crossbreds because of theil
heavier weight.
In the second generation the pure
bred calves were somewhat heavie
at birth than the crossbreds, but wer,
lighter at weaving time. The cross
breds maintained this heavier weigh
throughout the feeding period ant
were heavier when sold.
These second generation steer
used more feed than the purebred
and were less efficient in their util
ization of feed but were superior il

areas. Miss Smith whose eyes are
a ferocious blue in Technicolor
is one of the leaders of the cattle
forces. This of course gets the
dramatic conflict set in groove
SO we'll worn that it is virtually
bottomless by now.
AS might be expected when the
disputants are such handsome
representatives of the different
sexes, gunplay is more or less a
last resort in tales like this.
Instead of shooting it out like
standard enemies in Western flc-
ton, Miss Smith and Flynn in

fencing duels which consists of
singing duets in her ranch living

counts too much for the ultimate
good of Montana"
The accent on this running
romance does not keep Montana"
from coming up with its occa-
sionally violent interlude. The
formula for such screenplays calls
for a few carefully spotted sadistic
sequences and Director Ray En-
right follows the recipe.
In the first one of these, Flynn
takes terrific beating from the
hands of a gang of cattle enthusi-
aSts whose hatred for sheepmen is
masterpiece. In couple of busy
minutes a half dozen of these
latter take turns trying to knock
the hero's head loose and that
they fail is minor miracle.
This is naturally humiliating
experience for any movie hero, but
Flynn gets hts proper revenge. A
few sequences later, he runs across
the leader of his attackers and
leaves him lying dead on what had
just previously been a peaceful
stretch of ranchhouse lawn.
X X X X
The climax of Montana" is one
more of those spectacles which
make it seem rather a shame the
West ever became peaceful. In this
one, the rival grazing groups fight
it out with livestock, a dramatic
sort of duel in which a few thou
sand head of steers are turned
loose against an even larger num-
ber of sheep. The idea is that the
cattle will trample the sheep to
death, or frighten them out of
their wool, or something.
Flynn's role is the dominant one
in Montana" and it is tailored to
show his diverse skills in court
ship, horsemanship and fistman-
ship. Oddly the best single
sequence has to do with his ability
to stick horse. Either the actor
or talented double-put your
money on the latter-manages to
do so seconds on the back of an
insane stallion in what probably
is the pictures best minute.
Miss Smith. who is one of the
stateliest girls in the movies, is
not at all convincing in her i'm
personation of a fiery cattle prin-
cess but she is entirely suitable as
an ornament. The others in the
film include S. z. Sakall, Douglas
Kennedy, Paul Burns. ETC., who
are up to their usual tricks.

The byways of Paris are ex-
plored at considerable length by
Franchot Tone, Burgess Meredith,
Charles Laughton and some
others in 1.-THE Man on the Eiffel
Tower" which opened yesterday
at Keith's. The result is a movie
made by Americans which bears
in a notable degree that stamp of
actuality always so welcome in
foreign films.
This looks like Paris because 1t
is Paris. The cameras roam
thoroughfares and alleyways, the
Place de la Concorde and the
Place Pigalle. They wander in
and out of boisterous night clubs
and quiet Gallo cafes and climb
high on the Eiffel Tower for
panoramic sweeps of the city.
Since this all is done on the spot
in the German-developed Ansco
color process, which comes as
close to natural color as you have
yet seen on screen, Paris never
looked more fetching.
This Cooks tour of the city
which probably would win over
any other in a popularity poll is
no mere travelogue, mind you.
Paris is given billing, all right, in
the pictures credits, but it plays
only a supporting role adding
zest to a moderately engrossing
cops s-and-robbers thriller.
Adapted by Harry Brown from
one of Georges Sirnenon's Inspec-
tor Maigret stories, "The Man on
the Eiffel Tower" is one of those
affairs which manages to achieve
a good deal of suspense even
though the identity of the villain
never is in doubt. Mr.. Meredith,
who directed as well as acted in
it. has let its pace lag in spots,
but for the most part he has
maintained a proper mood of i'm
pending excitement. And he has
built nicely to a dizzy climax

The william of the piece is i'm

make him the first Hollywood
producer to admit the identity.

pressive type, who duplicates a

the crime. 1t is only a matter
of time. of course, before this
battle of. nerves ends with victory
for the law. but it is an engrossing
duel while it goes on.
Mr.. Tone, obviously happy to
have escaped the -tie-and-
tails set, plays the murderer with
a healthy relish for villainy. Mr..
Laughton couldn't have been more
happily cast and it is a pleasure
to watch him zestfully shower
acting tricks on Inspector Maigret.
Director Meredith hasn't used the
restraining hand on Actor Mere

but he comes off we'll enough for
the most part.
Patricia Roc, Jean Wallace, Be-

'Super-Secret' Spy Car Also Used
To Cory Super-Loods of U. S. Groceries
By John Borth

MUNICH. Germany. - The
American spy is not doing so
well in Europe. He is the sub
ject of pointed curiosity.
AS an American moves around
Europe, he hears such questions
as: What kind of "cloak and
dagger" men run your espionage
system? How do they compare
with the famed British intelli-
gence?
He hears some unpleasant
stories - probably compounded
of vicious rumor and equally
vicious fact.
Out of these comes Europe's
idea of the American spy-an
embarrassing cross-section be-
tween an all-American Rover
Boy and a more moronic mem
ber of the old GeStapo.
At the urging of some Ameri-
can officials who felt that our
prestige abroad was being hurt,
I have spent six weeks trying to
check for a few of the facts
especially in Germany and
Austria.
Mirth- Provoking
The story should start with
some examples:
/. Our agents Of the Army's
Observation-Disclosures a
supersecret undercover car in
spy-ridden Vienna. It is a
German-made Mercedes Benz
same type the Gestapo used 10
years ago. 1t has Austrian
license plates instead of army.
It is purposely kept dusty and
somewhat dented.
Recently, one Of these under
cover cars drove up to the
American commissary in Vienna
before the eyes of dozens of
black marketeers who infest the
place.
Out steps a young mana
CIC agent-with crew hair cut,
California loafer jacket and
saddle shoes. His wife is even
more American dressed than he.
They return eventually to
their supersecret spy car,
loaded down with American
groceries, and roar off.
Important Guy
The black -marketeers, each
with a thousand tongues that
spread talk through Vienna's
cafes, begin to laugh. During
the laughter they nudge each
other with the comment:
American spy!"
2. The newly arrived Hungar-
ian Minister to Austria held a
large press conference in
Vienna. Halfway through the
conference a man, supposedly
Evening star., 1950-10-22

representing a British news
paper stood up for a question.
After a whisper from the man
on his right, the minister turned
and said slowly: And now,
gentlemen, we shall have a
question from the CIC."
The newsmen laughed and
the so-called newsman sat down
in confusion.
8. The young man next to me
at the bar Of a swanky Munich
night club wanted to talk. I
wasn't in the mood. So during
the next 10 minutes while shak-
ing an American dice game
with the German bar girl and
speaking with a twangy Kansas
accent, I was informed indi-
rectly but not very subtly that
he was an undercover agent
an important guy"
Easy to Spot
The next night I returned
with a man personally &C
quainted with many of the CIC.
The young man was again at
the bar with an equally young
associate. Both youngsters were
confirmed as CIC agents.
My friends comment was:
"Most of the Americans over
here know who the CIC men
are. If they don't, it's no trouble
spotting them. They stick out
like sore thumbs. And in case
of doubt, one can always check
with the frauleins. There are
few secrets that the frauleins
don't know"
4. A Latvian farmer had his
farm taken from him. He was
forced to work on a collectivized
farm. At the risk of his life he
escaped from behind the iron
curtain.
Many Agencies
The CIC agent who investi-
gated him put the word Com
munist" on his record, because
he had worked on a collectivized
farm.
This meant the man could
never migrate to the United
States or to many other
countries.
1t took 10 months of argu-
ment and explanation on the
part Of American agencies to
finally get the young CIC agent
to change his mind and remove
the condemning word. He ad-
mitted having no other reason
for branding the Latvian a
Communist.
Reliable people with whom !
discussed the matter said GER
tain facts about the CIC are so
