Sorghum SUCCESSFULLY
Raised at Huntley

A NEW EARLY maturing variety
grain sorghum, Reliance, was tested
last year under irrigation at the Hunt
ley Branch station and yielded about
so bushels per acre, according to Tor
.lief S. Aasheinn, Huntley superintend-
ent.
Reliance was developed at the Brook
ingS, Sd, experiment station to fill the
need for earlier maturing more frost
resistant variety. Other varieties Of
grain sorghum are higher yielding than
Reliance, but break over after frost,
fault that seems to have successfully
been bred out of this new plant
Reliance has an open-seed panicle
that combines easily and dries out rapid
1y, a desirable characteristic in grain
sorghum since low moisture percent
age is necessary to prevent heating in
storage.
Aasheim reports that millets and sor-
ghums have been grown on dryland
at various times at Huntley and pro-
duced tonnage yields considerably high
e. than corn ON dryland.

the committee feels that the reduction

to farm vehicles in all categories. -

required to pay the proper tax ON the
amount of fuel used in the state.
That action be taken to employ an
adequate force to expedite processing
of claims, investigate refund claims and
reduce motor fuel tax evasion
$4,000, 900 Needed
Montana's first need, the Interim
Committee points out, is for funds to
match increased federal highway aid.
This will take from So, 900. 900 to 81, 000,-
900 annually.
First, there's backlog of SIS, 900, 900
in federal funds waiting and ready il
Montana can raise $4,000, 900 to match
it. This is over and above current fed
eral aid .allotments which Montana is
now matching. The backlog has accu-
mulated in the federal treasury since
the war.
In addition, Montana's share Of the
new federal highway aid program will
be $13, 1881, 734 annually for the next two
years This is an increase of 81, 1865, 1853
from the present federal ALLEGATION. To
meet this Montana must increase its
state matching funds by $3.50, 900 an
nually
Both rural and town folks stand to
benefit if such as expanded highway
program goes through, the Interim
Committee stresses. Under the present
law, expenditure of construction funds
must be kept in balance by highway
system and by financial district High
way funds are expended in IL financial
districts as follows: For primary system
Through highways)-on the basis of
deficient primary system mileage in
each financial district. There are 5,796
miles Of primary roads III the state
and "a per cent of them are rated de-
ficient, the committee reports.
For the secondary system farm to
market roads)-on four factors-A land
area, VI rural population, "a rural road
mileage and VI value of rural lands.
There are 3,434 miles of secondary
roads, AZ per cent still unimproved.

Other Recommendations
Other recommendations made by the
committee:
That an amendment to the state con-
stituti0n be adopted which will prevent
diversion of highway fuel and user
taxes to functions other than those re-
lated to highways.
That opposition be voiced to any
change in the method of apportioning
federal aid among the states which
would be unfavorabIe to Montana, priD-
cipally the adoption of any formula
which would place additional emphasis
on population as an apportionment fac
tor.
That a permit system be adopted
which would establish fees for the spe-
cial use of the highways by construction
or other unlicensed, off-highway equip
ment, and which would establish COM
pensatory fees for special permits
81 anted to overloaded, overwidth, over
length and overweight vehicles.
That action be taken to insure that
