A new years hung upon the
wall and this time I don't mind
at all because, for me, this year
will be triple anniversary. For
one thing, '53 is when I'll reach
the age of three-score ten; though
that is s'posed to be life's span, I
feel so good Pm sure I can go on
from here for quite bit fore my
old ticker has to quit. Then,
secondly, this little song will
very soon have perked along for
forty years, and though some say
it shouldn't last another day, it's
been an awful lot of fun COM
posing ev'ry single one.
Fin'ly. and by far the most. this
is the year when l can boast that
I've lived half a century beneath
one woman's thumb, by gee.
Mirandy claims she doesn't know
how we have ever made it go,
but it is easy to explain: I've
simply stood each ache and pain
without complaint and given
smiles in payment for her wifely
wiles. I've been the worlds most

Gus communities. Another $4,000 are
samples from carloads going from
elevator to miller, and from 5000
to $4,000 are samples taken by the
PIMA of farm-stored grain going I'M
der loan programs.
Quality Protein Wheat
Since Montana is a producer of
protein wheat, most of the samples
received are for protein testing. But
many are sent in for grade deter
mination only, Moran says. Grading
was particularly important in 1850,
when much wheat was frost-dam-
aged, and in 1851, when frost, sprout
and storage damage was frequently
noted.
This year the situation changed
and the state produced one of the
finest quality crops on record, Moran
says. Spring wheat tested at the
laboratory weighed an average 500
pounds per bushe1 and contained 14.9
percent protein, while winter wheat
averaged about so pounds and 1872
percent protein. Unusually little of
either crop weighed less than SO
pounds per bushel.

these the building provides even
though it is not yet completed.
Equipment Needed
"Now," Moran points out, "we
need the equipment that will enable
us to turn out every sample the day
we receive it." And he figures the
laboratory's capacity will have to be
at least $50 or 800 samples day.
Present equipment limits the lab
to a maximum of SIG tests in an g.
hour day. This would be adequate
except that nearly half of the total
samples tested each year are received
in August, September and October.
And during the peak period, samples
come in at rate of 800 and more
each day.
Tests made by the Great Falls lab
oratory-and, similarly, by the Har-
1owton and Bozeman state-owned
labs-include checks on protein con-
tent, weight, dockage, moisture,
grade and other factors which de-
termine the relative value of your
grain. Some $4,000 of the total
samples come from elevators in vari-

many more are hired TO help during

samples are received is part of build

Basement storage area also is not COM

Montana's Department of Agriculture,

ture. and need now is TO finish build

Inspect Bins
For Insects
BY ]. P. CORKINS

MOST OF THE insects commonly
infesting Montana stored grains can
attack only those grains which are
out of condition, that is, grain which
has moisture content of more than
IL to 13 percent. The only insect
which is capable of attacking grain
in good condition is the granary
weevil and this insect is not prev
alent in Montana.
Obviously the more practical ap-
proach to stored insect control is
to maintain the grain in good con-
dition with a moisture content be-
low II to IS percent. The first
source of difficulty is green or
tough grain going into storage.
Grain of this type should, when
ever possible, be turned and dried.
In most cases it is probably a good
idea to add grain protectant dust
to grain of questionable moisture
content when going into storage.
Grain protectants are synerized
pyrethrin dusts and are available
commercially.
In the event that the grain be-
comes out of condition and insect
infestations occur the following pro-
cedure is advised:
l. Check and correct the storage
conditions making sure that the
granary has good ventilation aft the
top and is rain and snow proof.
2. 1t is frequently impractical to
treat infested grain unless the
moisture content is reduced to a
level below IL to IS percent. This
is usually done by turning the grain
in the easiest possible manner. If
the infested grain can be handled
and turned grain protectant dust
should be added to control the in
Sects.
3. In cases where the grain can
not be handled and turned a LIQUID
grain funigant can be used to con-
troll the insects. In this case the out
of condition situation will not be
corrected and insect infestations
will frequently reoccur.
Regardless of the condition of the
granary or stored grain it is a good
idea to carry out frequent, periodical
inspections of the grain with
probe.
