Antibiotics Aid
Poultry Growth

CHICKS RAISED in new, clean
quarters and fed normal diet grow
more efficiently than chicks fed an
antibiotic in "old" quarters, pre-
viously used for chick raising, ac-
cording to tests recently concluded
by the U. S. department of agricul-
ture.
And both groups grow more eff
GENTLY than chicks kept in an old en-
vironment without the antibiotic.
There were four groups of chicks in
the tests :. two in old quarters Zone
with the antibiotic and one withouD,
and two in new quarters Zone with
the antibiotic and one without).
Results of the tests indicate that
antibiotics stimulate growth by CIV
ing partial protection to the chick
Especially in old quarters), during
the weeks just after Matching while
it is adjusting to the harmful bac-
terra in its environment.
Most poultry producers are unable
every year. The average producer,
therefore, is raising chicks in houses
comparable to the old quarters used
in the experiment.
In the tests, conducted by the de-
partment's Bureau of Animal Indus
try at Beltsville, Md, chicks held in
both old and new quarters were de-
prived of the antibiotic after weeks
of feeding. When chicks were moved
from new to old quarters at weeks
of age and deprived of the antibiotic
growth rate slumped temporarily, in
dicating that chicks not previously
exposed to harmful bacteria must go
through an adjustment with a re-
sulting loss of growth efficiency.
However, there was no such slump
when the antibiotic was withdrawn
from the diet of chicks that had been
kept continuously in old quarters.
Bureau scientists interpret these
facts to show that the antibiotic
gives only partial protection against
harmful bacteria. The chicks are
partially exposed to the bacteria in
their environment and build up re-
sistance to harmful effects. When
the antibiotic is removed from the
diet of chicks after as much as
weeks. there is no interference with
efficient growth of chicks held in old
quarters, as in the case of chicks
moved from new to old quarters.

eludes mercurial seed treatment of
cereal, legume and grass seed prior
to planting. The consistent practice
of treating seed prior to planting
should be must on every Montana
farm. More and more diseased plants
or areas of plants are showing up
every year. Protecting seeding
plants is the least grower can do
to help the plants produce.
Soils
Fertility was the major soils prob
lem discussed by farmers at the
Rural Progress conferences year
ago. Apparently some soils in both
the irrigated and dryland sections of
the state are not responding to con-
ventiona1 farm operations or to i'm
proved crop varieties to the extent
desired. Numerous requests were
put on record concerning specific
recommendation for the use of COM
mercial fertilizers on the various
crops.
Before we go overheard on COM
mercial fertilizer program in Mon
tana, it would appear desirable to
review and re-evaluate farm man
agement practices which influence
the fertility of our soils. The main
tenance of a profitable and continu-
ously productive soil is an intricate
problem, since many variable fac
tors are involved.
A good system of soil management
should first include the maintenance
of good filth or structure in the fur
row slice. Good filth implies good
moisture penetration, soil aeriation,
biological activity and erosion con-
troll Good filth is obtained by the
judicious use of green manure crops,
crop residues or barnyard manure to
maintain the desired humus or or
ganic matter content of soil which
encourages granulation.
A second factor regulating pro-
duction is soil moisture. On irrigated
land the system or method of irriga-
ton can greatly influence produc-
tivity. So, too, can timeliness and
amount of irrigation. The old adage
that eff little is good, lot will be
much BETTER" does not always apply.
Under dryland conditions it is a
question of utilizing and storing the
moisture that is received in the form
of precipitation. The alternate CROP
fallow system is unsurpassed in this
respect. And stripping to prevent
erosion is important.
Weed Control
Weed control may be considered a
third important factor in fertility
management. 1t tends to conserve
moisture in summerfallow, and in
crops it removes the competition for
moisture and plant nutrients.
Disease and insect control may
also be considered a phase of soil
management. Many insects or dis
ease organisms pass part or the
whole of their life cycle in the soil
Therefore, management of the soil
may greatly influence their viru-
1ence. In addition, seed treatment
prevents certain disease or insect
damage as well as crop sprays OF
dusts.
Crop Rotation
A fifth factor which influence:
fertility management is crop rota
ton. An orderly sequence of crops
tends to tie together some of the

Crop Rotation

A fifth factor which influences
fertility management is crop rota-
ton. An orderly sequence of crops
tends to tie together some of the
above factors. Where a legume is in
Guided in the rotation, whether as
green manure, hay or pasture crop,
one can expect buildup in organic
matter or nitrogen content of the
soil.
AS a supplement to these prac-
tees, commercial fertilizers can play
an important part. It is recognized
that much information is yet to be
obtained on the most efficient and
effective use of fertilizer materials.

Because of conflicting testi-

beds or facilities in the District
for treatment of addicts and
suggested new and continued

behalf of the measure to get the
addicts into the Federal hos

The treatment law goes into

Food

put out a bitter statement charg-
ing that the food offer was "a
provocation which serves only
the aims of agitation"
Offer Still Stands.
Within an hour after the
Soviet rejection of that offer or
ton, White House Press Secre-
tary James c. Hagerty said in a
statement:
THE Presidents offer of food
for the people of East Germany
still stands, regardless of any
Soviet note reached Washing
any Soviet allegation that the
people do not need food"
State Department officials were
quick to ridicule the Communist
stand as expressed in the Soviet
note.
"The contention that no food
shortage exists in East Germany
was obviously fallacious since
demonstrations for food in East
Berlin during the last three weeks
were witnessed not only by
United States Government OBJ
servers but by neWsmen of the
free world" one official said.
"The Soviet government re-
ferral to the necessity of first
approaching the government of
the East German regime was
ridiculous since the fact that the
recent demonstrations in East
Berlin and the Soviet Zone were
put down by Russian armed
forces clearly demonstrates the
identity of the real authority
for that area.
"The United States has never
recognized any one but the So
Wet Union as the legal authority
for that area. the so-called gov
ernment of the German demo-
cratic republic having been con-
stituted by decree without an ex-
preston of the popular will"

West Turns Deaf Ear
As Krem|in Presses
For Big 4 Meeting
By the Associoted Press

| LONDON, July 1.-THE Krem-
lin began beating its propaganda
drums today for a speedy Big
Four conference, but Western
Leaders apparently were turning
a deaf ear and waiting to see
how the downfall of L. P. Beris
would affect Soviet strategy.
AS if by concert with the Mos
COW radio, London's Communist
organ the Daily Worker, de-
clared in a front page editorial
that "the British people must
not allow reactionary American
and British forces to use the
unanimous dismissal of Beria as
a new excuse for opposing a
meeting of the four great powers
which is necessary to preserve
peace and bring about sweep
ing reduction in ornaments"
The Daily Worker said the
purging of Beria, the police czar
and No. 2 leader in the Kremlin
hierarchy, was a sign of Russian
determination to remove all
obstacles to the conclusion OF
agreements relieving interna-
tional tension"
Moscow Radio Sounds Call.
Moscow radio sounded the call
for a top level Big Four parley
by broadcasting an article by
Izvestia's foreign analyst, Mix
hail Mikhailov, while stepping up
it's home front propaganda to
win popular backing for the
Beria purge.
Mikhailov said the projected
Bermuda conference of President
Eisenhower, French Premier Jo-
seph Laniel and British Prime
Minister Churchill was a Wash
ington politicians plot to Gin
tensify international tension"
and delay a big four meeting.
President Eisenhower has been
unenthusiastic about a four
power meeting which might give
Soviet Premier Georgi Malenkov
a prestige boost while a struggle
for power is on in the Kremlin.
The American position has been
that Russia should show her good
faith by deeds, such as agree
ment to an Austrian treaty and
settlement of the Korean war,
before her words on peace are
accepted as true coin.
On the other hand, Prime
Minister Churchill has been eager
for such a meeting. One purpose
of an actual bid might be to put
a tough decision up to the Krem-
1in's divided leaders and perhaps
demonstrate who is the real boss
there.
Support for Delay Grows.
But comment by both Western
officials and newspapers since
the Beria affair indicates growing
support for President Eisenhow-
er's policy of delaying Big Four
meeting until the real motives
of the Malenkov government are
more apparent.
In Bonn, the West German
capital, Chancellor Konrad Ade-
nauer issued statement urging
"watchful waiting" He said the
free world must continue arming
because Beria's fall meant that
a long and dangerous struggle
for power is raging in the Krem-
lin.
The chancellor's supporters in
Bonn said the Beria purge was
big break for his reelection
campaign and had cut the ground
from under German Socialists
who have been demanding that
he scrap Bonn's treaties of alli-
ance with the West and plump
for immediate negotiations with
Moscow
Most London newspapers, in
Guiding the pro-Labor Daily Her
aid, also took a wait and see"
