Bond Prices Weaken
On News From Korea;
Losses Range 10 81
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 24-Prices
were pushed downward in the
bond market today. Losses of 81
or more were scattered through
the list.
Bonds followed the trend of the
stock market as Gen. Macarthur
offered a peace bid to the Chinese
Communists.
There was no great activity
accompanying the decline. The
volume was $1.110.000 compared
with Sl.490,0o0 at the previous
short Saturday session.
Averages at New Lows.
The Associated Press bond aver
ages showed three new 1950-51
loWS-utilities, which were down
20 cents at SOL, and industrials
and low yield bonds. which were
down 10 cents each at $1,000 and
$107.50 respectively.
1t was an off-day in Govern
ment bond trading and the foreign
dollar list was quiet.
The governments, which had
displayed relative stability since
the decline to a sub-par Q0O>
level of nine issue on March 10,
slipped fractionally on Wednes-
day and then steadied. One issue,
the gas If December. 1929,
dipped to 90 80 80 bid. It fluc-
tuated between that point and 80
with some sales reported. 1t was
the low mark for Government
securities in the downward move
ment that started when the Fed
eral Reserve Board withdrew
from support buying on March 8.
Dealers said Wednesdays de-
clines apparently represented price
level explorations by dealers rather
than a disturbance of the market.
New Series Due.
The new series of long term
non-marketable 234 per cent Gov
ercmeut bonds will be offered
Monday in exchange for the long
term marketable 212s of June and
December, 1972-67. More than
$19 billion of these exchangeable
long-termers are outstanding and
some SIS billion are held outside
the Treasury. trust funds and the
Federal Reserve banks.
The Treasury has announced
that the new 234s could be turned
in for IL per cent five-year mar
ketable notes. This was inter-
preted as an attempt to overcome
any unwillingness on the part of
the holders of the exchangeable
marketable 212s to switch to some
thing they could not get money
on before maturity if cash were
needed.
just how many of the out
standing 21as will be snapped for
the 234s will not be known for
possibly two weeks.

Good Care Makes
Good Pasture
By K. B. MORTENSEN
Lake County

l HAVE HAD only three years
experience in intensive pasture ro-
tation Nevertheless think we have
the best pasture in this part of Mon
tana. I think anyone following these
procedures can have very good
irrigated pasture.
First, the ground should be lev
eled, if possible The ground should
be fortified with about 20 or 80
tons of barnyard manure, and about
200 pounds of phosphate or any COM
mercial fertilizer as needed in the
locality
This is the seed we used here at
Charlo: 2 pounds Ladino clover, 2
pounds red clover, 4 pounds orchard
grass, 4 pounds meadow fescue (tall
variety. 5 pounds bronze This is
per acre. We have divided our pas
ture into three plots on which we
rotate our stock-10 days on each
plot Each plot is irrigated every 10
days, and then it is important to
clip each plot after grazing, leaving
the clipping on the ground, this
helps maintain moisture and fer
tility.
The two first sections should be
irrigated Just 50 they can dry off
some before stock are turned on.
Pasture should grow fast so that it
is tender and lush. It is a very seri-
GUS mistake of most people to think
because pasture is heavy that it is
good. However, that is not so.
Good pasture can be had almost
anywhere if properly taken care of

SINCE THERE IS more and more
interest in the Huntley mixture pas
ture grass and there are more people
seeding it, maybe the experience of
one who has been growing it for
good number of years might be of
some interest
The land should be leveled wen
SO the water spreads evenly and
will cover every spot where it can
be used. / like the border system,
though borders should be high
enough to hold the water and wide
and heavy so stock won't trample
them down. The borders should be
seeded so they can get soddeds early.
The most. important part is a good
even stand. I prefer fall seeding,
August is the time and the earlier
the better, though have got a stand
as late as the first of September.
If seeded in the spring it should be
seeded without nurse crop.

Grass Surest Crop
GrGsshOPPers Pass Il Up,
Hail Doesn't Bother 1t
By J.. M. MAHAN, YELLOWSTONE County

Get the grain crop and straw off
the ground as quickly as possible,
drill right in the stubble and water
right away. The weather is generally
hot and it seems every seed comes
and all at the same time. If the discs
are sharp they will stir up enough
soil to cover most of the seed and
the water viii do the rest.
After the seed has been watered,
watch close and don't let the soil
get dry. This is critical time and
if not kept moist you may loose
stand. Sometimes a shower of rain
will take care of this. Some years
watering the seed is all one has to
do. Other years it may be necessary
to water a second time or maybe
three times.
If the soil is kept moist till cool
weather there is not much to worry
about, it will go through the winter
in fine shape and start to grow early
in the spring. After it gets started
it is good for 10 to IL years. Then it
win get sod bound and the blue
grass will take over. Blue grass is
a good rich grass but doesn't make
much pasture.

had become badly mixed through

When TO Plant
Many phases are to be considered
in bringing out a better finished
product. It is always a problem to
know when to plant. Seasons vary
from year to year, and before weed
spraying was practiced one felt that
it was necessary to delay seeding in
order to control weeds. Late seeding
often resulted in light weight wheat.
Many farmers judge seed by appear
ance rather than by the facts Of the
quality as listed on tags from labora-
tory tests. Thus its value is often
misjudged.
