Senator KEN as proposing that
Secretary Brannan resign. Secre.
tary Brannan said this was the
sort of thing that led him to be.
lieve Senator KEN opposed his ap-
pearance.
Senator KEN shot back that he
most certainly had not opposed
the Secretary's testimony, but
most certainly had proposed that
he resign.
Senator KEN for an hour cited
his voting record on farm prob
lens, reading off the list of lead
ing Democratic Senators with
whom he had voted. Then he
asked a standard question after
each case:
do these other Senators op-
pose what farmers need?"
They are fine gentlemen" Sec
retary Brannan replied almost
every time.

Committee Chairman Ellender
Iof Louisiana tried to get the in

suggesting that Secretary Bran

was jabbed so often by certain
Senators.
II think he could come back

commented.

resistant variety which IS clained

resistant variety which IS claimed
to be better than Rescue.
In Montana this selection was
tested in 1851 at the Bozeman, Moe
casin and Havre stations of the Mon
tana Agricultural Experiment sta
ton under selection No. H-4258. Ac-
cording to DR.. F. H. McNeal, USDA,
who is in charge Of wheat investi-
cation research in Montana, this Sc
lection, which has been named Chi
nook, has not in the one year of test
ing shown the same qualities in Mon
tana that it has shown in Canada.
At Havre, it yielded less than
Thatcher and four bushels less than
Rescue. It had about the same test
weight as Rescue. At Bohemian and
Moccasin, it was well below
Thatcher in yield, but did have an
advantage in test weight per bushel.
Apparently, it has no greater re-
sistance to sawfly damage than Res
cue. Quality data from Havre and
Moccasin indicate that Chinook
wheat does not equal the quality of
Rescue.
While one-year test is only in
dicative, it gives some information
under Montana growing conditions.
More testing will be carried on in
1852. So far, Chinook has not shown
any values that would place it equal
to or above the present recommended
varieties Rescue is still recon-
mended for the sawfly area.
Tillage
Timely fallow operations have all
ways been stabilizing factor in
dryIand agriculture in Montana.
Most producers start the job as soon
as sthe spring grains have been
seeded.
More acres are coming under
stubble-mulch tillage every year.
While fields handled in this manner
look rather ragged throughout the
faIIow period, producers have found
that it has great deal of merit in
conservation of the soil in protect
ing it from wind and water erosion
There is little reason to doubt that
much Of the difficulty experienced
the last two years in establishing
stands has been due to the lack OF
organic matter in the soil Fields
have been crusting under conditions
of late years that formerly caused
very little if any, trouble. Putting
back into the soil the remaining
straw after harvest over a period Of
years is bound to improve its phys
zeal properties.

In each test, plants were actually
counted in measured areas of both
treated and untreated seedlings. A
number Of such areas were spotted
through each section Of the field to
avoid selection Of locations where
fertility or drainage was particularly
favorable, or unfavorable. These
plant counts from treated and un-
treated seed were then compared to
determine the value Of the new
treatment.
The chemical coating on the seed
actually serves as chemical 'over-
coat" to protect the tiny plant
embryo from invasion by f1ngous
diseases such as seed rot, Seeding
blight, and damping The chemi-
cal is toxic to these disease organ
isms, yet harmless to the seed itself.

Treating Grass
Seed Pays

MICAL TREATMENT of
grass and legume seed to protect it
against seed-borne and soil-borne
disease organisms will result in
more livestock feed per acre, ac-
cording to plant pathologists of
large chemical company.
Tests were arranged with 70 farm
owners in 10 states who were seed
ing a variety of forage crops as a
regular farm management practice.
IN each case, portion of the field
was planted with seed treated with
an organic sulfur compound as
seed disinfectant. Remainder of the
field was planted in exactly the
same manner with untreated seed
from the same source.
While test conditions reflect varia-
tions in soil moisture, texture,
fertility, and seeding methods on y
fields in widespread sections of the
country, averages show healthy
increase in plant stands in favor of
treated seed. Following are average
results with principal forage crops:
