severe for them and alternative uses
are limited A shift to livestock is not
feasible in many cases because water
and grazing land are not available.
Double summerfallow is about the
only choice, they said. In this respect,
a note of optimism was sounded by
Joe Frigge of Dutton. He reported that
he got 80 per cent increase in yield
on double summerfallowed ground.
The whole problem of what to do with
diverted acres is complex. Growers
further pointed out these problems:
Breaking up the strip pattern of field
would leave large blocks of uncropped
land exposed to blowing. Left idle, the
land would grow up to weeds and infeSt
adjacent wheat fields. Some growers
expressed the opinion that if diverted
acres were planted to grass the grass
would come up in later years and re-
duce the yield when the land is again
planted to wheat. Others suggested
that land left in grass would be inn
proved, but that grass seeding is too
expensive for possible short-term pro-
gram.
P. H Mcclellan of Dutton stated that
the reduced wheat acreage might solve
the surplus problem and that producers
who could hang on during the difficult
times might be able to start up again
in future years. He said the new regu-
lations would impose more of hard
ship on the tenant farmer who must

Wheat Quotas Abbroved
Diverted Acres

MARKETING QUOTAS will be con-
tinued for the 1855 wheat crop.
This was confirmed by the nationwide
referendum of wheat farmers July %.
Seventy-one per cent of the voters were
in favor of the measure A two-thirds
majority was necessary for passage.
Montana wheat growers registered
their approval of continued marketing
quotas by an 80 per cent margin, top
ping the national percentage by IL
points. But spot survey of opinion

choice between the lesser of two evils.

Jack Gunderson of Power said the
general feeling among farmers in the
Great Falls area was that Montana
producers who must strip crop are be-
ing Disseminated against. A more
equitable solution, he thought, would
be to have cut-backs based on the past
history of the number of bushels pro-
duced rather than the number of acres.

Such an arrangement, he said, would
protect the small operator.
Carl O'Hara of Fort Benton stated
that because farmers were allowed to
plant barley and other cash crops this
year they would be able to pull through
the current year in pretty good shape.
But he expressed doubt over the outlook
for 1855 with the restrictions placed on
the wheat growers and the resulting
loss of income.

towards development of satisfac-
tory plan.
However, states the Carran
letter, there must be no misunder-
standing on our position with
respect to the proposed Nike site
in Forest Hill Park. Our City
Commission, our City Officials and
our entire community are very
much opposed to this site. We feel
there are comparable and perhaps
more advantageous sites available
in the metropolitan area where
such installation would not cause
the extreme dislocations attendant
upon the use Of Forest Hill Park"
Two vital facts are listed. First,
the millions of dollars recreational
facilities of Forest Hill that could
not be replaced; and, that border
ing the proposed site is one of the
most highly restricted residential
areas in the entire metropolitan
district, representing millions of
dollars of home owner investment.
Nike sites are denuded of trees
to provide clear vision for the
proper functioning of the installa-
tion. This would mean destruction
of hundreds of trees throughout
the section in and bordering the
site.
In closing Mr.. Carran says:
owe are informed that consider
able compromise on basic specifica-
tions for Nike sites have been eff
fected in other cities in order to
adapt the installations to available
sites without seriously disrupting
existing development. We are con-
fident that comprehensive studies

will reveal similar alternates and
we again extend to you and your
organization the full service of our
staff in assisting you, in any way
you wish, towards a satisfactory
solution of this essential defense
problem"
No reply has been received by
the city on it's suggested alternate
sites made following the first an
of selections.

Chief of Police Weaver is re-
uuesting motorists to refrain from
double parking on Shaw ave. in
the vicinity of Shaw and Prospect

to end this dangerous habit. AS
usual, East Clevelanders will
gladly comply.
We suggest that all read and
heed the appeal of the Kiwanis
Public Affairs Committee carried
elsewhere in this issue. Let it
never be said that an East Cleve-
lander took undue advantage of a
stranger within it's gates, especi-

forward and use bit of elbow
grease in the doing.

necessary, but the writing should

that letters are flames in the fire

In justice to the merchant who
maintains a business, Leader policy
requires non-acceptance of notices
of toy sales, plastic parties, etc.,

Our local merchants spend their
money to advertise their wares.

view of us giving free space to
