Barley is used for recropping stubble
land where moisture, and in some in
stances nitrogen, markedly limit pro-
duction. Barley is resistant to wheat

makes it better suited for these areas
than the other spring sown crops.
In most irrigated areas, and in many
dryland areas, wild oats are serious
production hazard. Particularly under
irrigation, one method of control of
wild oats has been to destroy one or
two crops of wild oats by cultivation
in the spring and then plant barley.
Planting under these conditions is frc-
quently delayed until after the first
Of June and satisfactory crops of bar
ley still harvested.
COmpana Barley
Much of the increase in barley pro-
duction in Montana has been associated
with the release and increased use of
the two-row barley variety Compana.
Compana barley has several charac-
teristics that producers like. One hum
bred and fifty-one yield nurseries
grown throughout Montana were divid-
ed into yield level groups based on the
yield of Glacier barley, a six-rowed
type well adapted to Montana. In 10
nurseries where Glacier was produc-
ing 10 to 20 bushels per acre, Compana
was producing III per cent of Glacier.
Considering a state average dryland
yield of "a bushels per acre, it is app
parent that at these low yield levels
Compana barley is good insurance. In
% nurseries where Glacier was pro-
ducing 80 to 100 bushels per acre, Com
pana was producing about ~ per cent
of the yield of Glacier. supporting our
recommendation that Compana not be
grown under irrigation
Compana has large seed that is
favored by Montana producers. A 100
sample average weight obtained over a
period of years from various locations
in the state was 47.6 GINS. per 1000
kernels with some lots weighing more
than so GINS per 1000. With regard
to seed size, large plump seed is
of our irrigated barley
crop and sieve size assortment using
current sieve sizes to determine thin
kernels would seem to be amiss.
Little Disease, DiscoIOration
Diseases and discoloration are gen
orally not characteristic of Montana
barley. The use of Compana on irri.
gated land after cultivation for Wild
Oat control has been mentioned In
limited trials on irrigated land, using
dates of about May / (nor-
maD, May Is, June / and June is,
Compana yields have been affected
very little by planting dates up to the
lore part of June. Some varieties, such
as Titan, have been rather sensitive to

Meeting Set Today

said. apparently thinks it can
avoid an express prohibition of
Congress by the pretense of obli-
eating huge amounts of aid
money on the last day Of the

Isires, unobligating the same
amount later and keeping it
lying around available for some
future time"
A Senate House conference
committee on the foreign aid
authorization bill arranged to
meet today in an effort to iron
out minor differences in the two
bills. Senator Mansfield indi-
Gated it was too late for any
further action on this bill.
But the authorization must be
followed by q separate bill to
appropriate the actual funds,
and Senator Mansfield said the
Appropriations Committees will
demand not only an explanation
or how all this money came to
be obligated right at the dead
line but also a thorough inves-
tigation Of this Incredible She
nanigan.
President Eisenhower asked
about $3.5 billion for foreign aid
spending in the new fiscal year.

Senator Mansfield. Democrat
of Montana, accused the Eisen-
hover administration today of
incredible shenanigans" in con-
nection with the foreign military
aid program.
Saying he will seek a thorough
investigation by Congress. Sem
ator Mansfield said the Defense
Department on a single day had
obligated for spending-a book
keeping transaction-more than
half billion dollars in past for
eign aid appropriations not yet
spent. He said this occurred
June 80. the last day Of the 1855
fiscal year.
There was no immediate COM
ment from the Defense Depart
ment.
Both the House and Senate
wrote into the new foreign aid
authorization bill q restriction to
forbid the administration from
carrying over into this fiscal year,
which started July !. more than
5000 million of aid money voted
in past years but not spent or
obligated by midnight June 80.
Explains ''Maneuver"
Senator Mansfield said In an
interview the "maneuyer" of
obligating this amount-ear-
marking the money for specific
military items to be bought in
the future-has the legal effect
of spending the money. even
though it may not actually be
paid out for months or even
years.
The practice of deadline
spending by Government agen-
cies, usually on smaller scale,
has been a subject of congress
sional criticism for years.
Senator Mansfield said the
amount obligated last Thursday
was $575 million and that this
was more than half the total
amount earmarked during all
of June. He said the Defense
Department thus gained author
ity to carry the $575 million into
the present fiscal year and
avoided the congressional order
for a turnback of all except
5000 million on hand.

ton in a. United Europe.

tence for collaborating with the
Germans.
Offering 5,000-mark ($1,190)
reward. police announced today
that the bomb had been mailed
to Mr.. Cernak last Monday from
Frankfurt by "a man with dark
hair. oval face, age 40-45, middle
