U. 5. Bans All Exports
To Russia, Satellites
Unless Licensed

The United States today banned
all exports to Russia and her Eu-
ropean satellites without special
licenses.
The Commerce Departments
Office of International Trade an
nounced the ban as move to
enable the Government to know
in advance what shipments are
proposed to the Soviet bloc land
to deny export licenses where ap-
propriate in the national interest" +"
OFT officials emphasized that
the purpose of the order is not to
put a complete embargo on all
shipments to the Soviet bloc. how
ever.
Export licenses have been re-
quired for some time for shipment
to any place in Europe of goods
in short supply in the United
States or having important stra-
tegic significance. Today'S order
extends the export licensing re-
quirement to all kinds of CONNER
cial exports-not just strategic
items.
Unconnected With Italy.
The new licensing requirement
has no direct connection with in
vestigation of reported production
in Italy of power stations for ship
ment to Russia, although Ameri-
can officials would like to see West
ern European nations adopt ex-
port controls similar to those in
effect here.
Effective tomorrow, the new or
der affects shipments to Russia,
Albania, Bulgaria, CZechoslova-
kia. Estonia. Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Poland, Romania and
the Soviet zone of Germany.
Similar requirements for export
licenses on all shipments have
been applied previously to China,
Manchuria and North Korea.
The Commerce Department said
that American exports to the So
Wet bloc, including shipments
which did not require an export
license before today's order, have
been reduced progressively over
the last three years. The total
dropped from about $125 million
in 1948. to less than one-fourth of
that volume in 1850.
Provides Individual Review.
Although the current volume of
American exports to Eastern Eu-
rope is small, the Commerce De-
partment said the new order
means that "all proposed exports
will be reviewed individually to
assure full information on and
advance review of intended ship
ments."
In this way" it added, 'there
will be opportunity to prevent or
limit any shipment which might
be contrary to the national in
terest."
In addition to exports from the
United States, the new order
applies to shipments passing in
transit through this country to
Eastern Europe.

this imposes severe curb on In
terdefense agency transfers. since
an employe is reluctant to trans
fer without a job Unemployment

The commission. however. plans
to go even a step further and
freeze all transfers in the Defense
Department. In a matter OF
weeks, employees will not be per-
mitted to transfer from one de-
fense agency to another, unless
both defense bureaus involved
agree to the change.
Even before this order is issued,
the commission will ban all trans

This should take place within the
next few weeks. The Army De-
partment, for one. has complained
that more than SO per cent of

feels this must be stopped for the

Soils and Crops
Spring Season Of
Hope, Rush Work
By RALPH MERCER

WITH THE USUAL swing Of
things in operation for spring and the
beginning of another crop year,
everyone seems to be filled with vim,
vigor, vitality and hope. While
everything should be in order, there's
the usual last minute rush to get ger
mination tests on seed and the usual
hurry for seed supplies.
Even with things going straight
down the drill row, it would appear
that there are several things that
may lead to confusion during the
present crop year.
The extensive sale of non-recom-
mended varieties of cereal grain
grains, that has operated too sue
cessfully, will add to the confusion.
Too often the producer who grows

Running a tractor is not always ike
a pleasure car ride on concrete
highway. Every farmer prays for
rain, yet rain turns fertile soil into
mud and muck that must be worked
by the calendar and not by the
weather. Furthermore, it is often
impractical to store farm machinery
under cover. These are the reasons
why thousands of farmers every
where are using LUBRIPLATE Lubri-
cants for their tractors and other
farm machinery.

CERESANo on Seed Grain
Protects Early Paintings

Stem rust usually is more severe on
late maturing grain. That's why it
pays to plant early. When your
seed is treated with ''Ceresan'' seed
disinfectant, you can plant early
and reduce the risk of seed rot,
damping-off and seeding blights on
your oats, wheat, barley, rye and
fax.

ings Of dredges and all construction ma
chinery. 1t prevents rust, arrests pro-
gressive wear of parts and reduces fric-
ton to a minimum. LUBRPLATE goes
farther, hence is more economical to use.
It is, therefore, the perfect lubricantfor
the farmer.

crops from these high priced pur-
chases becomes a second generation
salesman merely to save his face.
Under such conditions the confusion
usually lasts far beyond the decline,
of the acreage seeded to such varie-
ties.
There may be many more reasons
for confusion. It is hoped, however,
that the weather will not be as con-
fused as it was in 1850.
Grass
The national grassland program,
coupled with an extensive research
program by the bureau of plant in
dustry and the agricultural expert
ment stations of most of the land
grant colleges, results in much
progress being made by regions in
settling the problem of what species
of grass will do the best job.
We have been fortunate in Mon
tana over the years to have had a
wide selection of grasses on our
range land that have, when properly
managed, produced good growth and
lot of meat.
We have been fortunate, too, in
having an early drouth resistant
grass in crested wheatgrass to sup
plement our native grasses by fur
nishing early spring and late fall
pasture
It isn't perfect grass, but it does
do swell job in furnishing pasture
at time when a shift from dry feed
is advisable and before it is a good
policy to turn stock onto the range.
Maximum Quality
The ability of crested wheatgrass
to produce a good growth of forage
at time it is needed most depends
on early spring moisture. There are
years when moisture is rather lin.
tied. By keeping the stand thinnec
out through cultivation, the plant i.
