Wilson Denies Plans
To Quit, Hits Those
Who Started Rumor

DETROIT, Nov. 27.-Defense
Secretary Wilson said tonight
that as far as he is concerned
any rumor that he plans to quit
the first Of the year "is just a
gossipy thing"
Mr.. Wilson was asked about
gossip in Washington that he
plans to give up his cabinet post
and that he would be succeeded
by Senator Ferguson, Republican,
Of Michigan, who was defeated
for reelection. Mr.. Wilson said:
There isn't blessed thing to
1t. have no intention Of re-
signing. The story that I will
leave was started and is being
circulated by those desiring to
embarraSS me-"
The secretary is spending the
holidays with his family in sub
urban Bloomfield Hills.
Mr.. Wilson confirmed the au-
thenticity of an article in For
tune Magazine to be published
Tuesday that he lost more than
81 million in the forced sale OF
his General Motors stock in the
spring of 1858. Mr.. Wilson was
required to sell the stock to win
Senate confirmation. He resigned
as president Of General Motors
to become defense secretary.
"A lot of writer's" Mr.. Will
son said, "have made the state
ment that the stock declined in
value after I sold it and that I,
therefore, came out ahead on the
deal. The contrary is true, of
course. I sold my stock at about
$65 a share and it now is selling
for over 500. On the basis Of
10000 shares that comes to
something over $1,000,000, but
nobody writes much about that" )"

LIQUID NITROGEN

AS the science of agriculture pro-
crosses, new methods or materials
are developed for farm application.
Not exactly new, but one of the re-
cent advances, is the use of liquid
nitrogen fertilizers. Anhydrous am
monia is one such material gaining
favor as a source of nitrogen in the
east, midwest and south.
During the last year, farmers
throughout Montana have inquired
about the use of anhydrous ammo
MIA and other liquid nitrogen ferti-
1izers. Other workers in the field of
agriculture are just as concerned.
Although we have no actual ex-
detrimental data available at pres
ent under Montana conditions, a
brief review of factors involved in
its use that should be considered are
presented here.
Anhydrous ammonia is a gas at
ordinary temperatures and pressure,
but for transporting and handling.

Soils and Crops
Prepare Your Entries Now
For Montana's Seed Shows
Soils and Crops
By ARTHUR F. SHAW

A NEW YEAR has dawned and
it's time to take inventory of the
physical setup and lay plans for the
coming seasons operations. It has
been previously suggested in this
column that seed supplies, whether
small grain, flax, grass or legume,
be arranged for early to assure quail
ity seed.
Don't delay. Many farmers have
already placed their orders and Sc
cured supplies, and good alfalfa and
red clover seed has already started
moving to eastern and midwestern
markets. A similar situation exists
with respect to crested wheatgrass.
To wait for cheap seed later on in
the spring may actually be the most
expensive, from the standpoint of
purity and termination.
SEED SHOWS
The 1854 fair season opens with
the sixth annual Milk River Certi-,
fled Potato and Seed Show at Har-
lem Jan. 81, % and %. Don't over
look this event. A premium list may
be obtained by writing Herb De-
Vries, county agent, Chinook.
The seventh annual Montana Po-
tato and Seed Show is scheduled at
Kalispell, Jan. 81, % and 90. Again
your participation is invited. Premi-
UNI lists may be obtained from the
Kalispell Chamber of Commerce.
The Montana Wheat Show will
again be part of the annual Mon
tana Winter Fair scheduled in Boze-
man March 10 through 20. Glasses
are provided for both spring and
winter wheat produced during the
1858 season. This is a statewide
event and participation by wheat
producers is encouraged. With a
record crop in 1853 in Montana, the
'54 Wheat Show should set a record.
All that is required is that 20
pound sample of wheat be submitted
and entered in the Wheat Show
prior to March 1, 1854. The entry
should not be hand picked, but
cleaned sufficiently to remove straw,
chaff, sticks, stones and cracked
grain. Tag attached to the entry
should bear proper Identification in
addition to variety name and labeled
''Wheat Show" Also indicate if you
wish the sample to be returned

200 pounds per square inch. This
means that special pressure tanks
and equipment are necessary for
handling the material. This applies
to transportation facilities, bulk
plant distributors and farm appli-
Gator equipment. Careless handling
of anhydrous may impair ones
health and safety. In other words,
use good equipment and become
fully informed before using it.
81 Per Cent Nitrogen
Anhydrous ammonia contains 81
per cent nitrogen by weight. This is
in contrast to 20 per cent nitrogen
in sulfate of ammonia and 33 per
cent nitrogen in ammonium nitrate.
Since it is highly concentrated
material, the actual cost per pound
of available nitrogen would appear
to be less than for other forms.
However, because of the special
equipment and facilities necessary
in shipment and storage, the mate
rial may actually cost more per
pound of actual nitrogen than con-
ventional nitrogen fertilizers. The
greater the consumption in any one
area, the greater the possibilities
for reduction in per unit cost to
the consumer. Wider use will be
made of the material when its adap-
liability to soils and crops is more
fully determined.
Evidence indicates that all of the
inorganic nitrogen fertilizers, wheth-
er sulfate of ammonia. ammonium
nitrate or anhydrous ammonia, are
equally effective, provided the
amount of total nitrogen applied is
the same. Differences in effective
ness are likely to arise only when
solid form is broadcast and mois-
ture is not available, to dissolve and
leach the nutrient into the soil. This
could result in delayed action of
solid forms, of nitrogen unless they
were placed in the soil.
Applied Directly
Ambiguous ammonia, is applied di-
rectly into the soil with special ap-
plicator equipment or through open
. ditch carrier. systems. Do not use
:. ,anhydrous ammonia with sprinkler
irrigation systems, as ammonia is
highly volatile and approximately
so per cent of the actual nitrogen
!. will be lost. ~.
No fertilizer is a, substitute for
soil moisture. This is especially true
of nitrogen, since it stimulates vege.
table growth and consequently in.
creases the need for moisture.
Anhydrous ammonia may be at
tractive to the user from the cos
standpoint eventually, but is ques
tionable at the present time. 1t i
easier to apply than solid materials
as equipment does all the work.
Things to remember in handling
anhydrous ammonia are: ~ Avoic
liquid contact with the skin. In
= liquid form the material has TEN
perature of q degrees below ger

e cautions are taken.

Outlook for Business
Viewed as Stable

Sherwin c. Badger, financial
vice president of the New Eng
land Mutual Life Insurance Co.,
told a recent Boston meeting of
the firms IS leading agents that
business during the next several
months is more likely to be stable
at a relatively high level. View
ing figures of the life insurance
business, he declared there are
no reasons to look for any
serious declines from present
levels.
"The trends of new sales,
policy loans, surrenders, and real
estate mortgage foreclosures all
indicate that by and large per-
sonal finances are in good shape
and speculation is at a mini
num-" Mr.. Badger asserted.
Meanwhile, the demand for
funds to finance business expan-
sion and improvement continues
high, though not at the abnormal
rate of the 1928 PERIOD"

to follow, you'll find hints that
will save you tax money-no
matter who you are, where you
live, what you earn, how many
dependents you have.
If you're planning to get mar
ried and haven't yet set the
date, for tax saving purposes,
think Of marrying in December.
Here's why: If you do this,
you can split your income and
pay a tax at much lower rates.
For example. If your taxable in
come is $4,000, as a single per-
son you pay $1.960. If you get
married on December 81, and
your joint taxable income is
still $4,000, all you pay is 81, $50.
So you save $3.50 in taxes.
# you're going to have a
baby, ideal "tax-timing" would
be close to the end of the year.
Here's why: Even though your
baby may have been born only
a tiny fraction before the end
of the year, he or she will rep
resent another 5000 exemption
on this years tax return. And
you'll certainly have major med
ical deductions which will slash
your income tax by a really
worthwhile amount.
Keep Records Carefully.
If you travel within the city
for your boss-call on customers
or deliver merchandise - start
Immediately to keep accurate
records of your bus and subway
fares, automobile expenses, taxi
fares, etc.
Here's why: Under the new
tax law. your local transporta-
ton expenses-on your job
are deductible from your income.
You can get a deduction for
these expenses (not, however,
including committing expenses
from your home to your job)
plus your 10 per cent standard
deduction. Up to now, you may
have been ignoring these ex-
penses because together with
your other deductions they added
up to less than 10 per cent of
your income.
Now you can deduct them
regardless of how small your
other deductions are. So keep
your records! Take deductions
for these expenses and take
your 10 per cent standard de-
duction too.
Tomorrow's column will sub
NIT other vital guides.
