ASC Ballots Mailed,
Voting Ends Dec. Il

BALLOTS TO BE used in the cleo
ton of Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation community committeeman
for 1855 were mailed to Montana farm
ers and ranchers Monday, Nov. %, Leo
S. Kolstad, state ASC administrative
officer, reports.
Voting will continue through Dec. 10.
All ballots must be completed and re-
turned to the county ASC office by that
date. Ballots will list the names of per-
sons nominated by community election
boards and those nominated by petitions
filed by voters prior to Nov %. There
will also be spaces provided for the
names of written candidates.
County ASC officers will send a bal
lot to each eligible voter of record in
the county, Kolstad explained. This will
include all persons who are of legal
voting age and, as owner, tenant or
sharecropper on a farm or ranch, are
participating or eligible to participate
in any of the agricultural programs di-
rected by ASC committees.
These programs include agricultural
conservation; wheat acreage allotments
and marketing quotas; price support,
sugar beet, and storage facility.
While ballots will be mailed to all
eligible voters known to county COM
mittees, there may be some persons
who will be missed. Kolstad said that
these people should visit, call or write
to their county ASC office as soon after
Nov. % as they are reasonably certain
they will not receive a ballot by mail.
The office manager will issue ballots
in such cases as soon as the eligible
voter brings the matter to their atten-
ton

For drinking purposese you can boil
this water and let it settle, and then fill
ter it through a stoneware filter, al
though it seems too bad to have to
drink such water or use it for cooking.
For laundry and bathing purposes, it
would be less trouble to purify it by the

Apples Prevent
Potato Sprouting

AN EASY WAY to keep stored pota-
toes from growing sprouts is to store
a few ripe apples with them, according
to Horticultural Donald Comm of Ohio
State University. Even in high tenn
peratures of a basement apples will in
hibit sprout growth from January to
June.
One apple per bag will do the trick
when potatoes are stored in paper
lined containers, Comm says. And by
lining the container with asphalt paper
and folding the top, necessary water
vapor is held in the bag which elimi-
mates willing. It also causes ethylene
gas from the ripe apples to build up
and stop sprout growth. When apples
are not put in bags, up to 10 pounds of
apples per bushel will stop the potatoes
from sprouting. Comm warns, however,
that the potatoes may eventually ac-
quire a slightly sweet taste. Whether
this is good or bad, is up to the con-
sumner.
