If this wax could be made synthetically
it might prove to be the perfect pro-
tective spray or coating for a variety
of uses. 1t is known that the Navy is
much interested in the possibilities.
In the meantime Mormon cricket
batting operations can and will be car
ried on as needed in Montana. The
average cost of batting in Montana is

government pays the entire expense.
On private lands the owner pays two
thirds of the cost and the government
one-third
Outbreaks of Mormon crickets in
damaging numbers occur at irregular
intervals. The crickets exist in solitary
stage in noninjurious numbers in per-
manent breeding grounds on high
mountain ranges. When weather condi-
tons are favorable for reproduction
they band together and begin a migra-
tory march to adjacent range and farm
land, covering about one-half mile
day or IS miles in single season.
When migrating they number from 200
to 500 per square yard. Experiments
show that only 20 cricketS per square
yard over an acre would eat as much
each day as a COW. And the average
migration, if allowed to go unchecked,
lasts for so days.
Preventive measures such as we're
carried on in the Custer National For
est are the best insurance against
migrating Mormon cricket bands. Motif

cricket, so the word can be passed

Soils and Crops
Fall Tillage Not Advised
For Wild Dat Control
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

supply all through the fall to maintain
the stand.
Dry weather is all too common in the
fall, so don't seed too early. You want
the plants to go into the winter in a
healthy vigorous condition. If the crop
suffers from drouth, it stands to reason
that its condition is weakened and its
susceptibility to winter-killing and di-
seases is increased.
Root Rot
There are other reasons for delayed
seeding. Root rot of winter wheat has
been more prevalent in past years in
early seeded wheat. Root rots are
caused by molds (fungD which APP
parently live in the soil, mainly on
half-decayed straw and plant parts: A
high soil temperature favors develop
ment and infection of winter wheat by
the fungi. Seeding later when soil tenn
peratures are cooler reduces the dam
ger of infection
Wheat Streak Mosaic
Wheat streak mosaic has caused
farmers great concern and consider
able monetary loss this past season. 1t
can happen again. Our plant path
ologists observed the worst infections
in the earlier seeded fields. Seed treat
ment and insect spraying are not
practices recommended for control.
With further acreage restrictions,
marketing quotas, new diseases and
what-have-you to look forward to, it
doesn't pay to gamble. Place your
chips on the later seedlings.

WILD DAT CONTROL

WILD DAT CONTROL
We discussed this subject early last
Spring-now we are back to it. Why?
Because there are apparently few
misconceptions concerning wild oat
control practices. Our good neighbors
to the east of us, research workers In
North Dakota, have had this problem 1
under study for several years. During
this time they have come up with val
liable information relating to char
acteristicS and behavior of the wild oat
seed, which must be taken into con-
Sideration in divising a control pro-
gram.
After-harvest tillage with the thought
of covering the seed and stimulating
termination is not advised. Leave wild
oat infested fields undisturbed throug-
out the fall and winter so that the wild
oat seed will be exposed to extreme
temperature variations and alternate
wetting and drying.
Shallow tillage early in the spring,
with one or possibly two subsequent
tillage operations prior to seeding is
advised. Early spring tillage breaks
the crust, opens up the soil to permit
more rapid warnup and covers the
shattered seed. Such conditions stinu-
| late termination.
Now let's take a look at the be-
havior of the wild oat seed. In the first
| place the seeds do not terminate inn
mediately after ripening. The seed will
remain dormant for a few weeks to
many months before dormancy is
broken. Second, termination is more
rapid following exposure to extreme
temperature variations than under con-
ditions of more constant temperature
which would prevail if the seed were
buried. Third, termination is also i'm.
proved with alternate wetting and dry.
ing of the seed. Fourth, primary ker.
nels terminate more rapidly than sec
ondary kernels.
Tests indicate that approximately 81
per cent of the wild oat seed viii
terminate the following spring if seed.
are exposed to conditions favorable fol
breaking dormancy.
WINTER WHEAT SEEDING
It's temptation to begin seeding
winter wheat after mid-August, but ex
perience has consistently disapprove,
this practice. Yes, there are exceptions
but generally Sept. 10 is as soon a
seeding should begin in the norther
winter wheat area of the state and i
the intermountain valleys. Sept. Is
advised for the central area and Sep
20 for the southern area.

plate or a combination of nitrogen an
