Noxious Plant Eradication
Discussed at Range Meet
By a. BRANSON
Animal Industry and Range Management
Department Montana State College
By F. n. BRANSON

THE ERADICATION or control Of
poisonous and other noxious range
plants was major topic discussed
at the spring meeting of the Ameri-
can Society of Range Management
Northern International Mountain
section at Missoula. In addition to
noxious plant control, there were
discussions of big game management
and field trip to view sagebrush
eradication and grass reseeding.
Following the business meeting,
conducted by Tom Lommasson, pa
pers on noxious weed control were
presented. o. j. Murray, rancher
of Thompson Falls, discussed the in
PRODUCTION Of beetles to control goat
weed (also called st. Johnswort and
klamath wee6 in northwestern
Montana. The beetles, brought by air
from California, Craze and destroy
only the goatweed.
Alex johnson of Lethbridge, Can
ada, presented the general weed con-
troll picture for southeastern Alberta
and southwestern Saskatchewan. He
suggested that one of the most prac-
teal control measures is conservative
stocking to prevent introduction or
increase of noxious weeds.
Larkspur. Haloseton
E. E. Redman, supervisor of the
Beaverhead National forest, pre-
sented information on management
to prevent cattle losses on areas in
tested with tall larkspur. In areas
grazed after the larkspur has reached
a certain stage of maturity there are
few or no losses of cattle.
Ray c.. Johnson, Montana extern
sion range specialist, presented ma
terial on the distribution, geology
and control of Halogeton. AT pres
ent this poisonous plant in Montana
is limited to an area in southeastern
Carbon county. johnson pointed out
that measures are now in effect to
prevent the spread of Halogeton in
our state. Larry o. osburnson, soil
conservation service, was chairman
Of this panel and c. r. Hunt, Mon
tana department of entomology
moderator.

al mothering ability and high lamb
production. They produce high
yield of half-blood wool that has a
versatile market demand.
The breed has been under devel-
opment since 1926 and individual
breeders have been getting sheep
from the U. S. station since 1885.
There are now "a breeders in Mon

on livestock management and graz
ing habits of antelope and deer.
Don Hunter, rancher from Green
ough, told of his buying, fattening
and selling operation. He disagrees
with range managers who propose
that salt be placed at points on the
range away from water to obtain
better distribution Of livestock. He
presented evidence indicating that
cattle receiving an abundant supply
of salt would store sufficient water to
allow them to travel greater dis
tances from water to obtain forage.
John Swartz of Moiese, presented
a paper on management and grazing
habits of pronghorn antelope. Lowell
Adams of Missoula outlined results
of research on the Whitehall deer
range in Lincoln county. Results of
the research showed that the large
deer herd of this range destroys seed
lings of the valuable western yellow
pine. Lowell was also postmaster
at the banquet at which H. J. Har-
grave Of the agricultural experiment
station, Lethbridge, Canada, spoke
on Range Resources of the Far
North and the Reindeer Herd at
Aklavik.'
Field Trip
First stop on field trip was at
the u. S. Forest Experiment station
grass nursery on Stanley Antrim's
ranch near Florence. The per-
Torrance of the many grasses was
explained by Rould Peterson.
At the Ed O'Hare ranch the group
looked at the excellent stands Of
beardless wheatgrass, big bluegrass
and rough fescue with some alfalfa:
other portions of O'Hare's range were
seeded to intermediate wheatgrass
and to crested wheatgrass. Two fac
tors that contributed to the good
seeding results were thorough prep
aration of the seeded and the use
Of fertilizer to give the seedlings q
boost.
An added attraction on the O'Hare
ranch was a demonstration Of sage
brush removal by the use of heavy
duty one-way plow. Another method
was demonstrated on Clarence
Hagen's ranch. Here the roto beater
did quite a clean looking job o.
chewing up sagebrush.

JUNIOR pEa MEETING
BY BETTY ROWAN

The Junior Deb meeting this
week was a very interesting one
and was throughiy enjoyed by all
of the girls.
After the roll was taken and the
minutes we're read our guest speak
crs, Mrs. Edna Miller and Mrs. Jo-
an Bernreuter a former Gibson
Girl who plans on opening a Charm
School here, spoke to us on poiSe,

how to sit and stand properly, what
colors are in season, what type
Of clother TO wears what hair style
to wear and many other interesting
things which are of concern TO the
girls.
The Junior Debs are planning to
have a fashion show and Mrs. Mil
Ter owner of the Mar Ed Dress
Shop, offered to lend us clothes to
model. We are also having a trophy
in honor of Mrs. Mae Douglas, one
of our sponsors who recently passed
away, and this trophy is to be in
scribed with the name of The
Girl OF The Year, which we will
choose ourselves. The Meeting was
adjourned and refreshments were
served.

as our name implies boosting"
the team.
The Boosters are girls in the 9Th
to 18th grades. When they first
started in 1916, only 16 girls turn
ed out. Each year, however, our
group has grown and we now have
about fifty girls in the club.
Our organization is run like any
other club. Our officers are. presi-
dent, Judy Pelliciers vice-president,
Evelyn Nettles; and secretary
treasurer, Eleanor Garcia. We
meet every Friday afternoon and
go through the cheers with the
cheerleaders. Last year our uni
forms which we chose for our
selves consisted of red skirt, gray
blouse with red tie, and saddle OK
fords. If possible, we want to get
some new uniforms. Our financial
status, however, is quite poke
no money in the treasury and with
Christmas coming up. Our sponsor
is Miss Eunice Harra, who is
spending quite lot of her time
with us.
The Boosters are hosteSses of the
High School. They work hand in
hand with the cheerleaders. Quite
often the character of our school is
judged by our actions. The way we
act is reported by visiting teams TO
their high schools.
During basketball season we en-
terrain the visiting teams and our
own team at parties, picnics, and
dances. Last year we gave quite a
few successful parties. Since foot
bali has started here we plan to
have even more if possible.
Quite often the Boosters take road
trips with the team and cheerlead-
crS. We are always in need of
transportation. Often parents help
us.
Finally, the Boosters help keep up
school spirit physically and moral
ly. They keep up the spirit of the
team and the student body. We
hope that we can keep up our work
and continue to be a credit to the
school.

UP TO DATE IN BIOLOGY
BY TERRY PARRISH

Mrs Chapman's biology classes
have been studying many different
forms of the plant kingdom these
past few weeks.
First of all, each person was Civ
en- three or four plants or fruits to
report on. Samples of these were
brought in, if possible. to make
the reports more interesting
One Of our recent projects was
that Of studying algae, which be-
long to the lowest division of the
plant kingdom: countless numbers
IF algae are found on the ocean
surface and as far below as the sun
viii reach. "A single quart of water
las been found to contain more
han six million individual algae
Among these algae are the species
Known as plankton. which many
people became familiar in the story

probably remember how they had

0 collect plankton When enough
plankion had been collected, they
you'd take the net in and use the
plankton for food.
BY lining strainers with pieces Of
silk folder over several times, We
were able to get some plankton.
This. however. was long and ted
i0us job Perhaps with the aid OF
some civic organization we can
raise enough money to buy some
much needed plankton nets.
Pressing different types of sea
weed was another interesting pro-
iect. Seaweed, another form Of alga
is used for many things food, fer
tiliZer, and many medicines. We
collected the seaweed from the
beaches and mounted the different
varieties on paper By covering
these with wax paper and pressing
them for several days, we got nu-
merous beautiful outlines
Our latest project to date was
drawing different colonies Of bac-
terra, the smallest known plant We
exposed dishes Of bacteria to var
ious things such as dust. milk, wa
ter, finger prints and air Then Gov
ering the dishes, we placed the bac-
terra in a moist, dark, warm place
to grow. After several days they
were taken out to be studied and
drawn.

has been their study for while
now. II was surprising 10 learn that
Miss Albritton requires only TWEEN
ty-five minutes TO put on her own
makeup for a television show.
Another topic which was taken
up was how she started in her
career. She began by playing in the
junior and senior plays in high
school. She added to her dramatic
experience by studying at the
University Of Oklahoma, although
her family are Texans. She major

that her real ambition was TO be
an actress.
MIR. Ertzman and the class were
next interested in what she thought
Of Hollywood. She told them of
famous stars like Jimmy Stewart,
Montgomery Gift, Marlene Diet

Norviel asked her whether she had
ever seen Dean Martin and Jerry
Lewis. She replied. Eyes, and /
