ency of heavy textured soils to dry
quickly. A field of oats and alfalfa.
on heavy clay soil had sufficient
moisture in the spring to a depth of
"a inches, but dried out quickly in
the hot summer sun. 1t likewise
dried again in less than 10 days
after one irrigation.
What Does Study Mean?
l. The moisture meter is a scien-
tific means of checking moisture
content Of the soil against human
judgment. In general it checks
closely with judgment regarding soil
moisture conditions.
2. The moisture meter provides
a more vivid comparison of soil
types in relation to moisture re-
quirements and holding capacity.
3. It also gives a good picture
of what is happening throughout
the season in the various depths of
the root zone.
4. The study points up the fact
that it is better to irrigate accord
ing to- soil needs than by regular
intervals.
5.SThe study supports the idea
that light and frequent irrigations
are better than less frequent, heavy
irrigations. Most of the plant roots
are in the top foot of soil which is
the one filled by light irrigations.
In the heavy soils of the Milk River
valley, it is common for the top
soil to dry out while there is plenty
of moisture at lower depths. In
most years grain crops should have
two light irrigations rather than one
heavy one.
Practical Aspects
In the first place, the farmers
have a certain number of acres OF
land to cover in various types Of
crop. He also has certain linita-
tons from the standpoint of time
water and facilities to handle the
water. He must take all of these
limitations into consideration II
planning his irrigation for ths
season.
If an abundance of water i.
available and the bitches and struc
lures are adequate, he may be able
to irrigate every field as it SHOULD
be irrigated. This is usually no
the situation however, which means
that he must move his limited water
supply from field to field as fas
as he can. When he does, he triei
to use the water on those crop
which will give the greatest return
and lets the others suffer if need be
The moisture meter may have ;
place, however, in determinin,
which fields to irrigate next if tn,
decision is close one. It coulc
also be factor in determining how
many inches of water to apply. TIL,
use of moisture meter for a yea
or two might help the farmer to i'm
prove his judgment on decidin
when to irrigate.
On highly specialized crops, tn
use of the moisture meter could be
come a standard practice. So ia
it is being used only in an expert
mental way to determine the prac
teal aspects of its use. More worl
will be necessary to arrive at DEF
mite conclusions.

TB in Chickens
Still a Problem
81 DR.. HOWARD WEIGH

FOR ALL PRACTICAL purposes,
tuberculosis in cattle is dead duck.
The national drive against cattle T.
B. started about 1917 and the dis
ease became hard to find about 1885.
Very few of the present generation
of stockmen have ever seen tuber-
culous COW, though their fathers will
remember it.
The constant tuberculin testing
that is still carried on turns up a
pocket of infected cows once in a
while, but those cases are getting
rarer. Many of the younger veteri-
narians have never seen a case of
tuberculosis in cattle. The bureau
of animal industry, and the veteri-
nary organization Of each state is
riding this disease harder than ever
to get rid of every last trace of the
disease.
But tuberculosis in chickens pops
up every day; there is a lot of it in
Montana. The spotted liver of the
7. B. hen is well known to many
poultry men. Here at Montana State
college, there is no trouble in getting
two or three tuherculous hens to
demonstrate to classes.
Backyard Flock" Disease
The commercial poultry growers
with several hundred or several
thousand hens, do not have any
cases of this disease. They know it
will break them; they take no
chances with it. tuberculosis is def
initely a disease of the backyard
flock" the flocks of so to 200, kept
on small farms, or as a side-line on
ranches, flocks that are kept for
home use, for egg and meat produc-
ton with practically no eggs or
poultry sold. The disease is espe-
cially likely to be present when the
flock is not culled for age or pro-
duction and many Of the hens may
be three or four years old.
Tuberculosis is a disease that is
slow to develop, it takes nearly a
year to kill hen. The removal of
hens over 18 months old is one of
the most simple methods of con-
trolling T. B., for it automatically
removes those hens that are far
enough along with the disease to be-
gin spreading it to the younger birds.
Running a straight pullet flock
should practically eradicate tuber-
cu1osis without taking any other
measures.
Of course, it is well known that
the most profitable flock is one that
contains about IS percent pullets
and Is percent year-old hens, though
the writer is not an expert on
poultry management, and the above
statement may be greeted with jeers
from poultrymen that are better in
formed. Certainly it doesn't pay to
keep bunch of old hens around
and it is the old hens that keep
tuberculosis alive and active in 9
flock.
Eradication Urgent
There is little need TO discuss the
disease, it's symptoms, the appear
ance Of the spotted liver, ETC., fol
these details have appeared in thi:
column dozen times. But it i
urgent that this disease be eradi
Gated, along with cattle tuberculosis
because while avian tuberculosis
does not infect cattle, it can and doe
infect hogs.

 Yoshida immediately began form ing coalition government in prep aration for peace treaty conferences.
 The cabinet members handed Yoshida their resignations this morning. The shuffle will affect pri- marily the cabinet posts concerned with the Japanese national economy.
 The changes may be made more quickly than in the case of previous cabinet shakeups. Yoshida is ex- pected to name the new members without consulting the counsel of advisers.

in Washington It. Gen Albert C. Wedemeyer brought up the topic again He has suggested several steps
 in the Far East which, he says, would involve such risks But he feels the steps should be taken none the-less.
 Calculated risks" are part and parcel of the foreign policy of major world powersand minor ones too-p particularly in times when the possibility oi war seems imminent The term refers to any pohcy u nation might pursue which in it's development, could logically lead to an outbreak of hostites, but whlch is calculated to achieve end worth the risks ln- voved-an end vital to the interests of the lnsu- gating power that loss or defeat of the prncipe would be deemed national tragedy worse than armed conflict.

The risks we have taken the Far East have resulted Tn two disasters. The first came when Japan struck III Hawaii The second when the North Korean Com munsts-themselves taking calculated risk-advanced across the 38th Parallel
 General Macarthur and General Wedemeyer, both axperts in the Far East, feel that have not been hold enough in our Asiatic policy. They admit the
 risks involvedbut feel that the ends are vital to the survival of the Western world Both have presented
 strong cases to support their theories Both feel that the chances of success under such plan would have oeen far greater than chances of failure The majority of Americans are soundly behind them in this con- tention.
