NITROGEN

Nitrogen top-dressing may cure
pale, sick-looking mall grain
crops, and boost yields. Top-dress-
ing with nitrogen fertilizers can
ape expected to give an increase of
y to 10 bushels of wheat or barley
per acre, according to Frank
Bentz, University of Maryland Ex-
tension soils specialist.
Not all small grain fields need
the extra nitrogen fertilizer, Bentz
points out, bus it will probably pay
under the following conditions: on
land that normally produces less
than 25 bushels of wheat or 40
bushels of barley, provided there IS
enough PHOSPHORUS and potash in
the soil; on droughty soils; on late
planted grain; on thin S ands;
when winter weather or grazing by
animals has reduced the stand.
Nitrogen top-dressing is not ad-
visable when: small grains yield
better than limits given above: soil
is moist and heavy; new hay or
pasture seedlings are more impor-
tant than additional yields; land
has recently been MANFRED or in
legume crops.
The best time to apply nitrogen
top-dressing is re f ore spring
growth starts, Bentz says.

between strains of one breed Of
chickens as there is between breeds.
This is the conclusion of the re-
searchers who conducted the latest
broiler experiment at the Univcr-
sity of Maryland Broiler Substa-
ton at Salisbury, Md.
The researchers, C. S. Shaffner,
P. F. Twining, G. F. Combs, and
M. A. JUL, of the University of
Maryland Poultry Department last
week published the results of the
experiment.
Rating each of the eight strains
on test on a basis of calculated re-
turn per 1000 birds, the scientists
found the most profitable group,
White Rocks, gave $93 more than
the poorest group, New H m p
shires. Another strain of White
Rocks gave an increased return of
$37, while a better strain of New
Hampshires gave an increased re-
turn of $78.
The scientists point out tn a
these figures represent only one
experiment with 5000 birds, and
that they do not prove the super
iority of any breed or strain. The
experiment did show that the strain
within the breed is more important
than the breed.
The results of the test also show
that there may be strain differences
in feed efficiency that are not en-
tirely explained by growth artes.
A thousand birds of each strain
of breed was on test. All received
the same ration, a practical type
broiler ration compounded by the
University. Birds raised on t h e
Shenandoah side of the broil e r
house weighed more, had better
feed conversion, and feathering,
and had lower mortality than those
grown with radiant heat. These
findings bore out earlier experience
in previous trials.

and 1927 pounds of milk to her

She was MIXED 2 times daily,

Mrs. Irma Bell, Assistant home
demonstration agent, told of the
Electives of All train
ing for citizenship. She stated
that in the development of good
homemakers, we have the respon-
sibility and opportunity to help
young people to establish the quail
ity of homes that are essential for
building good citizenship. She well
coined boys into the groups, saying
that homemaking responsibilities
belong to men as well as women,
that is they can take their role
as fathers, more easily and con-
tribute more to the home if they
have knowledge of food prepara-
lions, standards OF good health and
home management, and family rel
ationships.
The following leaders and All
members received prizes in the
question and answer period: Mrs.
Roy Arnold, Mrs. Isaac Kirk, two
luncheon tickets; Lillian Arnold, a
box of cheese products; Mrs. Allie
Messer, Watsons Standard Book of
Etiquette; Mrs. Harrison King, a

DEBUNKS 10000 INCREASE"
NONSENSE

''These figures prove conclusively,'
said Thurston, "that the charges by
the opposition that the proposed in
itiative would raise premium rates
as much as 500 per cent is the most
assinine statement of 1852"
In reply to question from the au-
dience, the speaker stated that bus
inesses having little or no occupa-
tional disease hazards would have
their rates increased only negligible
amount. That, under the proposed
law amendments, the existing "merit
rating" used in setting premium rates
for individual businesses would con-
tinue unchanged when the initiative
becomes law. Thus, employers with
low accident rates would continue
to have low premium rates.
Regarding the initiatives $4,000
penalty clause which has received so
much publicity, Thurston stated the
purpose behind that is to stop the
'black ball" system on Butte hill =.
to keep the ACM from refusing to
rehire men who might have a trace
of silicosis contracted previously in
the company's mines. Admitting that
any employer who refused to hire a
man because he had non-disabling
disease might be subject to $4,000
penalty, Thurston pointed out other
provisions of the same section which
have not been publicised too widely,
but which put many a "slip between
the cup and the lip" for any worker
who might figure on retiring by col
letting several such $4,000 fines in
matter of few days. The employer
or insurer as under present law, con-
inues to have full recourse to the

Noting the terrific burden that
the 100000 annual subsidy paid the
mining industry by Montana taXpay-
ers for Silicosis benefits, and that
the people of Gallatin county alone
pay a per capita assessment of $15,-
331 annually to the subsidy, Thurs
ton stated that therein lay the real
reason why the ACM was so determ-
med to keep the people of Montana
from having a chance to vote on this
measure next November. "They, the
company could spend half million
