Soils and Crops
Use Good, Clean

BIZ RALPH MERCER

HERE WE ARE again at the period
of the year when we need moisture
in some areas of the state, while just
a little more rain in other areas
would help produce whopper of a
crop. Those areas that have been
short during the entire growing sea-
son are really the ones that are suf-
fering. Last reports received were
to the effect that cereals on good
summerfallow were still holding
their own.
Its peculiar how things can switch
around and yet when you stop to
consider the tremendous area and the
varied conditions we have in Mon

tana, guess it's not so STANCE that
some sections are treated more
kindly than others.
Anyway, it all goes back to the
old squib that in this region, it is
best to farm the best way you know
how all the time.
Troubles
Then again, I've never seen so
many things happen to so many
crops all in the same year. Every
department of the Montana Agri-
cultural Experiment station and the
Extension Service of Montana State
college has been flooded since early
spring with plant specimens that
were ailing. These insects have been
on the. job, too, so it has been
merry go-round trying to figure out
the trouble
There's very little doubt but what
the hard freeze of last August, the
low temperatures in early June and
flash rains that produced hard
crust, all had something to do with
the plant ills. However, there were
the usual cases of root rot, loose
smut, bunt, as well as weevil dam
age in alfalfa and other crops.
The older our soil becomes in pro-
duction years and the older our state
becomes as a farming area, the more
disease, bugs and weeds we are GO
ing to have to become familiar with
and wage war against.
It becomes very obvious that ii
isn't good policy to take too much OF
chance when there are things that
may be done to help the plants we
depend on doing the very best joh
possible.
With the winter wheat seeding
period coming up, it would be well
to remember that treating seec
against smut and Seeding disease.
is not costly, and it is pretty gooc
insurance. Proper dates of seedine
are important, so is available mois

an even stand. A little care MAY
mean the difference.

The Marine
BY Lucy Baisden

TlHROUGH $50 years of
Il gradual change, the Ma
rine Barracks, at Eighth and
l streets Sc, has retained
two of its original features
the commandments house and
the central parade ground.
The barracks Is considered
to date from March 3, 1901
ESQ years ago yesterday,
when Congress voted a $40. 900
appropriation for its construc-
ton. Actually, the search for
permanent quarters for the
Marines In the new Federal
City had begun somewhat
earlier and work was not
completed on the installation
until several years land sew
eral appropriations later.
1t. Col. william Ward Bur-
rows, commandant at the
time construction was start
ed, was dissatisfied with
some of the work and con-
WINGED a board convened by
the Secretary of the Navy
that his objections had merit.
President Jefferson ordered
that changes be made In two
of the buildings and that
another be entirely rebuilt
before the barracks would be
accepted from the builders.
The commandments house
is the oldest Government
building in Washington still
used for It's original purpose.
Built of soft salmon bricks it
has walls nearly three feet
thick.
New officers and recruits
we're trained at the barracks
throughout the 10th century.
The parade ground they used
Is the same which members
