HALLOWEEN = 1855

This past weekend Halloween. But except for the
fact that there parties than usual and
SMALL oddlookng beings haunted the Streets it didn't
like Halloween at all.
The false fire alarms, the soapedup windows, the
urned-over garbage to great degree missing
Instead of doing mischief the kids played out their energy
in communtysponsored parties County youngsters gave
vent to their artistic impulses by painting windows
instead of soaping autos.
Perhaps the most encouraging note of all in the new
theme of making Halloween constructive holiday was the
idea OF turning trckorteat into collection of money for
the United Nations Chldrens Fund The children learned
rshand that it is better to help others than gather loot
satisfy their desires.
We congratulate all who helped make this the countys
best Halloween yet And standing right at the head of the
line to receive congratulations should be the children them
selves because they after ALL decided accept entertain
ment in favor Of destruction.

rants the searching interest of
not only residents of our upper
county, but also of the lower
county and the District of Column
bia who, sooner or later, will be
affected by it.
The coup was potent. The Coun-
Gil majority made monkeys of
County Attorney Irelan, County
Manager Reese, and County Plan
ner Taubin, who had professional
ly reworked and modified the
temporary zoning ordinance
adopted by the previous Council
and thrice postponed by the new.
They ordered a permanent ordi-
nance prepared in 80 days-a feat
in the miracle-performance class.
They drafted a contract with a
substitute planner who would fol-
low orders to produce an ordi-
nance with only commercial, in
dustrial and residential zones
like calling a physician for
tummy pain and ordering him to
prescribe castor oiD. They placed
this substitute planner not under
the elected County Council but
under the appointed Upper Mont
gomery County Planning Com.
mission.
The resolution as adopted
states that the residential zone
shall provide for minimum lot
sizes of one half acre except in
areas where public water and /or
sewer facilities are available and
other such minimum lot sizes as
the Commission shall determine
in the various areas in the pub
lie interest.
Thus the County Council ma.
jority abdicated the responsibility
for planning inherent in their
elected position, by-passed their
county employees, Messrs. Irelan.
Reese and Taubin, and, in eff
feet turned over planning to the
real estate spectators and devel.
opers who have been fighting the
temporary coming ordinance. With
no one to guard the general com.
munity interest, the rest of us
will pay-in broken farm areas,
silt-laden water sheds, lack of ade.
quate recreational areas, disioint.

struction, and in tax monies
eventually spent to retrieve mis-.
takes made in Topsy.like growth
OF the upper county.
The full implications of this
postmidnight action on the part
of the Council majority have not
been developed by the press.
There has been no indication OF
the change of authority for plan.

the appointed Commission. This
puts extra responsibility upon us

ssWTHATSOEVER a man soweth, that
w shall he also reap" has been an adj
monition to all people for ages. From an
agricultural standpoint, the planting of clean
seed has been recommended practice ever
since Squanto showed the Pilgrim Fathers
how to fertilize their corn by putting a fish
in each hill along with the seed.
But such lessons seem to be hard to re-
member. Though the planting of clean seed
is yearly suggestion to producers in Mon
tana, the evidence is that it is still not widely
taken. The humble grain cleaner or tanning
mill still has not been accorded its rightfuI
position as one of the most important pieces
of equipment on the farm
No farmer would argue that it is sensible
to spend money for machinery, fuel and
labor to keep summerfalloW clean and then
to turn right around and seed it to weeds.
But too often that is exactly what is being
done While some of the weeds that may APP

are that many were actually planted with the
grain.
What kind of seed do Montana grain farm
erS plant?
The answer to this question is suggested
by the results of survey conducted in the
spring of 1854. In the survey samples of
cereal grains were taken right from the seed
boxes of grain drills IN the field. A total of
139 samples was assembled. They came from
five counties in representative cereal grain
areas covering each region in the state.
The purity of the samples was determined
in the Montana State Seed Testing Labora-
tory. The results of these purity analyses
were compared with the minimum standards
