Urge Purchase Of
Fertilizers Eorly

BOZEMAN - Montana farmers
who plan to use commercial fer
tilizer materials next spring are
urged to lay in their supply now,
says Arthur Shaw, extension ag-
economist at Montana State college.
BY purchasing and storing fer
tilizer now, Shaw said, farmers
can help relieve the pressure on
the storage facilities of manufact-
urers and local dealers. In this way
he said, farmers will be more as
sured of getting what they want
plus the advantage of having fer
tilizer materials on hand when
needed next spring.
The agronomist said that Il
farmers will observe few simple
rules when storing fertilizers, the
materials will keep safely until
spring. Keep bags off the ground
and off concrete floors. Place 2x4s
or cribbing on the ground or con-
crete to avoid absorption of mois-
ture by the fertilizer. Bags should
not be stacked more than seven or
eight feet deep, he said, because
excess pressure from above may
cause caking of the fertilizer in
the lower row of bags.

Study Changes For
'55 Fishino Rules

HELENA-Copies Of proposed
changes in the 1954-55 fishing reg
ulations were mailed to Montana
sportsmen's clubs this week for
their consideration and recommen-
dations, according to Superintend-
ent Walter NJ. Allen.
Allen said the sportsmen have
been asked to return the proposed
regulations with their comments
by Jan. 30. The Montana Fish and
Game commission will review the
recommendations at their Febru-
airy meeting.
Allen said that this year the
fisheries division has attempted to
simplify the fishing regulations
and to delete many repetitious
portions. He said that the Commits
sion may consider dividing the
state into management districts
which may be set up by major
drainages instead of the present
system which lists regulations for
each county.
In the tentative fishing regula-
tions for the 1954-55 season, the
daily bag and possession limits
have been proposed as is fish not
to exceed 10 pounds and one fish.
Within this aggregate bag, fisher
men could have a combination of
ten rainbow and cutthroat trout
not to exceed 10 pounds and one
fish; or Is fish not to exceed ten
pounds and one fish Of all other
species of trout and char. The bag
and possession limit on grayling
would be five fish and on all Spe-
cies of salmon, the limit would be
IS fish not to exceed 10 pounds
and one fish. Lake Superior white
fish limits would be set at l5 fish
not to exceed 10 pounds and one
fish and Rocky Mountain whitefish
limits would be 90 fish.
Shooting carp with bow and ar
row has been proposed in the ten
tative regulations, but mechanical
or cross bows would be prohibited,
Allen said.

All conference teams except for
Whitefish are without games be-
tween Christmas and New Years.
Whitefish plays Gonzaga high
school in Washington Dec. 20 and
then Ritzville, Dec. 80.
The Falls Wildcats continue to
be a team that could top the con-
ference if cogs mesh right.
At Anaconda last week (Dec.
22) they outplayed and outscored
Anaconda Central during second,
third and fourth quarters, and then
dumped the ball game by six
points in the overtime period. Two
critical free throws were missed.

the Wildcats hardly showed that
they could play ball, losing 81 to
40.
Anaconda Central Columbia

pared to Dec. II when the Cath
olic high team defeated Columbia
Falls SO to 46 here.
While Columbia Falls continues
to be a potential winner in confer
ence play that is just getting start
ed, st. Ignatius is coming to the
front as the strongest team. St.
Ignatius defeated Poison so to 46
in the Poison invitational last
weekend. Roman won the consola-
ton from Charlo. Libby is still
undefeated in conference play.
They won from Columbia Falls
5O-49 Dec. 18.
Whitefish lost to Lewis and |
Clark of Spokane 59-45, while Kali
ispell defeated the Spokane team
55-52. Whitefish's second game last
week was a win over Eureka 70 |
to So.

team went down to Columbia Falls
70 to 26 the previous week.
The Anaconda Central game
found Hamilton high scorer with
% points followed by Carey with
16. High for Anaconda Central was
Walsh with IT. Hamilton came
through at the free throw line hit
ting 10 out of IL chances.

This Is expert testimony from

There also are declarations
from zealots on both sides, people
who attack or defend smoking
on emotional grounds.
The trial came to full public
attention only within the last
two years. Here are some main
reasons:
Statisticians found an alarm

particularly in men over IS. They
said the increase was worrisome,
even after allowance is made
for the fact more Americans are
reaching the older ages at which
cancer becomes more common
and that cancer nowadays is
diagnosed more accurately than
in the past.
These two things-increasing
average age and better diagnosis
could account for some or
much of the increase from 5000
reported lung cancer deaths in
1899 to about $1,000 in 1858.
A few physicians and statisti-
clans say these two factors could
account for most or all of it.

fluence cancers. BUT there's no
evidence that really answers this
question.
Sex and jobs are elements in
the evidence.
Many women smoke. have
smoked for years. But lung can
Ger is at least four to five times
more common among men than
women. Why?
Several explanations are ad-
vanced. One: Not so many
women smoke. Another: Most
women have not smoked as long
as men have, and it is argued
that it takes 10 to 20 years OF
smoking to induce lung cancer;
that in the future the cancer
rate in women will begin to rise.
Yet another: There Is a sex dif-
ference-men may naturally be
more susceptible to lung cancer
than women.
AS for air pollution as cause
Of lung cancer, it is argued that
women breathe the same air as
men. But it's also argued that
men, committing from suburbs
into cities daily, get more city
air than stay-at-home wives.
Men may be subjected to more
cancer causing chemicals or
agents in, their jobs than women.
There is no doubt that a large
number of chemicals to which
some workers are exposed can
produce cancer ip animals.
Evidence on Fumes.
A leading expert on occupa-
tional hazards in cancer, DR..
w. c. Hueper Of the National
Cancer Institute, Bethesda, Md,
reports substantial direct and in
direct evidence that certain kinds
of industrial fumes and other
agents can cause human cancer.
Men almost exclusively are ex-
posed to these hazards, he says.
But in at least one case when
men and women workers were
exposed equally, they both
tended to become liable to lung
cancer.
DR.. Hueper feels the total evi-
dence indicates that not one but
several atmospheric pollutants
are responsible for the causation
of lung cancer" His studies lead
him to conclude that while it
is possible cigarette smoking has
played a contributory role, the
total evidence available, If criti-
cally evaluated. does not favor
the concept that cigarette smok-
ing represents a major factor.
In scientific and medical cir
cles, there have long been ques-
tionings, evidences and counter
evidences about the role Of cigar
cites in health. To the public
which could not be aware oi
all of the findings being made
some of the reports had to come
with bombshell effects.
