Better Iillage, Better Seed
Might Be Good Resolution
By RALPH MERCER

however, you set out to do good joE
and follow the directions suggested bN
the manufacturer closely, great dea
of good will be done.
Seed treatment will be found in the
area of the state that may be infested
with blackstem rust. Because seed OF
varieties resistant to Race 15B black
stem rust are not readily available as
yet, the most protection that can be
given plants is to get the seed planted
early and then hope that the plants are
in such advanced state when the rust
spores hit. that the infection will be
small.
1t is not always possible in the area
of greatest blackstem rust infestation
to plant as early as is advisable. but
every attempt should be made to plant
as early as conditions will permit.
Seed Shows
1t won't be long now until the annual
seed shows will be under way for 1855.
Listed in order of time they are: Milk
River Seed & Potato Show, Harlem.
Feb. 3-5; Montana State Seed & Potato
Show, Kalispell, Feb. 22-25; Montana
Wheat Show, Bozeman, March 5-12.
These three shows on an area and
state basis give every producer an
opportunity to show his 1854 produce in
comparison with every exhibitor in the
state. 1t takes exhibits to make show
and we urge you to send exhibits to all
of these shows.
Premium lists are available for all of
these shows and are obtainable. The
secretary of the Harlem show is Herb
DeVries, county Extension agent. Chi
nook Secretary of the KalispelI show is
Walter Mauritson, county Extension
agent, KalispelI.
The Montana Wheat Show, held in
connection with the Montana Winter
Fair, is limited to the showing of sam
pies of hard red winter and hard red
spring wheat. Samples consist of Is
pounds of wheat sent to Montana Wheat
Show, care of Montana Seed Testing
laboratory, Montana State College,
3ozeman, Montana All exhibits must
,e received by Feb. 20 in order to be
eligible for the show. These exhibits
viii be judged by regions of production
md prizes awarded for each region.

you all. While this greeting will reach
you a little late, it is nevertheless a
very sincere one. AS we begin another
year of monthly visits we are thankful
for having this medium of visiting with
you and likewise thankful for the many
responses we have had from you, either
through visits or correspondence dur
ing the year.
We are now working on new year.
Maybe it is old fashioned to make reso-
Iutions, but surely there's nothing wrong
with doing the best job we can every
day of the year. OF course, some of
the things we should have done to help
insure a good year in 1855 should have
been started last year. It is too late
to correct those things, but maybe we
will remember to make these correc-
Gons before 1855 is placed in the
archives.
Reports keep coming in of the wind
blowing and dirt flying in the southern
and central portions of the Great Plains.
It could well be that some of that dust
might reach this far north. or it is
barely possible that some powerful
breezes might come along and stir UP
some Montana soil to mix with that
which is flying out of some of these
other dry areas. There's enough possi-
bility OF such thing happening that
some thought could well be given to
being in position to do everything
possible to reduce the blow If and when
it starts.
More Strip Cropping
At the beginning of the year many
decisions are made that can affect the
whole crop year From the drouth con-
ditionS that existed last year i'm late
June and July could come warning
that there is possibility of such a
condition existing earlier. This is not
meant as a scarehead at all, but the
possibility does exist. If we should be
moving into a drier cycle of years, it
might be well to consider return to
more strip-cropping. In several areas
OF the state the strips have disappeared
and block following has become the es-
fablished practice. Sure, strip cropping
has its drawbacks, but when combined
with sub-surface tillage to keen an
abundance of straw on the surface. ii
does furnish more protection from wind
and water erosion than any other COM
bination of tillage practices.
Better Seed
Then. of course, comes the matter of
good seed. Much has been said through
this column recently about good seed.
which not only means seed of recon-
mended varieties, but clean seed of high
termination.
BY cleaning seed the content of weed
seed is not only reduced to a minimum
but the small and cracked kernels are
removed. This will permit more uni
form seeding. Don't forget that in plant
ng seed of light weight it is very easy
20 get a stand much too heavy for
AVAILABLE moisture.
Treating seed before it is planted is
must in the crop production pat
ern. The period of clean soil in Mon |
ana is thing of the past. The soil is
I'LL of insects and fungi, and anything

Marketing Information
Can Help Farmers

The farmer has a lot of valuable
marketing aids available that can
increase the efficiency of his opera
tions, says w. T. McAllister, Ex-
tension marketing specialist at the
University of Delaware.
Farmers are faced with such
problems as what to produce and
how much? When should this item
be sold and where? Market news
can help farmers decide. The Z. S.
Department of Agriculture spends
more than 10 million dollars an
nually to get accurate market news
for general public use.
'Old timers" in livestock produc-
ton vii recall the days when the
only source of market information
was the incomplete and conflicting
reports of trade groups.
Today's market news is accurate,
timely and usable. The University
of Delaware has a free publication
on the subject. 1t is called Know
ing Your Market Reports Can Help
You" Copies are available from
county agents, or by writing to the
Mailing Room, Agricultural Hall,
University of Delaware, Newark.
Here are some interpretations of
market terms:
Market stronger" means prices
are advancing. Market firm" means
prices are holding or are a shade
higher, Market steady means no
immediate change. Market dull"
means an inactive market. Market
weaker" means price declines are
general.
Demand slow" means buyers
are just looking. Demand good
means buyers have confidence in
present prices. Supplies light
means the market could use more.
Supplies heavy" means the market
is over-supplied and prices are
weakening,

Heat Stroke, Heat
Exhaustion

Don't let the summer rush OF
farm work lead you to disregard
the dangers of heatstroke and heat
exhaustion, warns George Vapaa,
County Agent.
Doing hard physical labor in the
hot sun or in a stuffy place will
bring on heat exhaustion quickly.
The sickness occurs when the
body's heat regulating system col
lapses during prolonged heat or
overexpos1re to the sun. In heat
stroke, body temperature rises, skin
becomes hot and dry, face reddens
and headache develops. Heat ex-
haustior. is not stroke, nor does
it require the same treatment. In
stead of burning up, the patients
body is cool, perhaps with clammy
sweat. Both are preventable condi-
tions, and the best line of treat.
ment is preventative.
The National Safety Council re-
commends the following precau-
tions:
/. Increase salt intake to offset
excessive loss of salt in the body
through perspiration. The salt in
take can be increased by increasing
the salt on ones food, by drinking
salted water, or by taking salt tab
lets.
2. Avoid overexertion and overex-
posure 10 direct sun rays or ex-
treme indoor temperatures and
high humidity.
8. Wear a hat while out-of-doors ;
wear light, porous clothing.
4. Eat nutritious food, but avoid
over-eating. Drink water often
throughout the day, one glass at a
time. Avoid ice water and alcohol.
Should either heatstroke or heat
exhaustion occur, get a doctor at
once and apply first aid treatment.
In applying first aid to a person
suffering from heat sickness, keep
in mind this simple rule: If patient
is cold, make him warm; If he is
hot, make him cool.
