Milking Slow?
Check Pipelines

Some of the cows in your herd
may be slower in milking out
than you think they should. Per
haps it isn't old bossy's fault-it
is possible that the vacuum line
between the stall cock and the
vacuum pump is partially clog
ged.
"A free flow of air is absolute
ly essential to the proper opera
ton of the milking machine"
says John p. Dietrich, University
of Maryland Extension dairyman.
eff the pipeline is partially plug
ged up you can't have a free
flow of air and you can't expect
the milking machine to do a very
efficient job"
A broken initiation or failure to
empty the mixer pail in time
will occasionally draw a little
milk into the pipeline where it
SourS and forms a lump of
cheese. Changing temperatures in
the barn causes condensation in
side the pipeline. Dirt, flies and
insects that gain entrance to the
pipeline can partially or COM
pletely clog the air line and slow
down the milking process.
Some lines need to be cleaned
more often than others, but to
be on the safe side they should
be cleaned at least once each

Boxing Revival at c. U.
BY Brian Bell

DOCKING IS back at Catholic
I'D University. and Coach
Eddie LaFond is hoping its
return will encourage other
colleges to resume the sport.
Last year, the Cardinals did
not put a team in the ring for
the first time Except during
World War I'D since boxing
was started at c. U. in 1924.
Only four men went out for
the sport.
This season, the Cardinals
have at least one boxer in
nearly every class and four
matches have been scheduled.
South Carolina dropped the
sport last season, and Penn
State is not competing this
year. Army and Virginia are
said to be wavering. LaFond is
not peSsimistic. however.
While some schools have
dropped, or are dropping box
ing, others are going back to
it." he points out. Georgetown,
San Francisco, Oklahoma and
Houston are starting again this
year. and Texas Christian,
Texas A6zN. Texas and Okla
homa Ann are hoping to have
teams in 1856"
Why does this situation exist
some schools dropping the
sport. others starting?
Under the rules of the
National Collegiate Athletic
Association. it is possible for
some schools to fight boys who
have had so or so bouts before
entering college," LaFond ex-
plains. When they met mex
perienced boys. it was no con-
test. Schools got tired seeing
their boxers beaten. Also, some
university heads felt the sport
Evening star., 1955-02-06

was too dangerous for the boys.
The Eastern intercollegiate
Athletic Association has done
something about leveling of
the competition. It has passed
a rule making fighters who
have had any previous expert
ence, no matter how slight.
Ineligible for college competi-
ton.
The Eastern schools which
have boxing-C. u, Maryland.
Georgetown. Army. Syracuse,
City College of New York and
Virginia-can compete among
themselves under equal condi-
tionS.
AS for safety, colleges have
long pioneered improvements
in the rules designed to prevent
injuries.
I'VE were, the first to raise
the padding in our rings to
keep boys from being seriously
hurt when knocked down." La
Fond says. THE pros later
made the same improvement.
They don't give the colleges
credit, but the professionals
have adopted many of our
safety measures.
college boxing has a man
datory nine count. This means
a fighter who has been knocked
down must not resume fighting
before the count has reached
nine. BY then. his head should
be clear. The pros now have
a mandatory eight count for
the same reason.
First the colleges. then the
pros ruled that a knocked-out
boxer can be moved only under
the instructions of a physician.
This is to prevent a dumb

Montana'S 1856 wheat acreage al

slight decrease from the 4,029,4 66

nounced.
This ALLEGATION is the states share
of the 55-million acre 1856 national
allotment announced May Is. State
allotment are based on wheat acre
ages for the past ten years with ad-
justments for planting trends and
other factors. Under this formula,
state allotments may vary from those
established for 1866 even though the
national allotment remains at the
same minimum figure of 55 million
acres.
County and individual allotments
will vary from 1855 figures for the
same reason, Kolstad explained. Coun-
ty allotments, which will be an
nounced about June /, are deter
mined on the same basis as the State

ments are determined by community
and county ASC committees on the
basis of wheat production during the
most recent years, and in addition,
tillable acres, crop rotation plans,
type of soil and general topography
of the farm are all considered.

COOP GRAIN FARMERS
REAP FIVE MILLION
In l8 YEARS

The Farmers Union Grain Temi-
nal Association started it's 18th
year of marketing grain for the
farmers of the northwest the first
of June, pointing to spectacular
growth of a business that handles
more than 100. million bushels of
grain a year from 600 country ele-
vators, and has net worth of over
80 million dollars.
The GTA Daily Roundup air
ways program pointed out, what
amazes bankers and businessmen
is that this nstitution-every bit
of it-belongs, not to handful of
stockholders clipping coupons, but
to thousands and thousands of
farmers"
The farmer-owned business, ac-
cording to GTA, was founded on
''faith and confidence" without a
single cent of investment from the
farmers, and ''by selling their own
grain instead of having someone
else do it for them, they keep for
themselves money that used to be
the big profits their competitors
earned"
In 1s years farmers selling
through their own marketing CO.
operatives have paid themselves
five million dollars in cash.
In reciting the financial accom-
al
cooperative marketing it was said
on Daily Roundup, the value of
GTA is not financial, though the
financial benefits contribute to the
real purpose of cooperative mar
keting. The real purpose is, ito
help farmers earn better living,
to help farmers protect their in
come, their take home pay"
To accomplish these things it was
understood by farmers who went
out and helped to organize the
first coop elevators that they
wanted to have say on important
farm legislation, because, "we live
in a legislated economy and farm
prices are made in Washington and
all the experience and know-how,
backed up by the resources and
manpower that have been devel-
oped over 18 years of building
for grain farmers is now being di-
rected by Mr.. Thatcher into GTA's
greatest campaign, to protect the
farmers take-home pay"

Here Is The Procedure To SecUr,
State Lund Uranium Leases

Should the geiger counter do you
proud and you get strike you then
must go to the land board and sign
Prospecting Lease, which provides
a 20@o royalty for the state.
You will have two years to work
under the primary lease, but if you
don't like the 203o royalty you can
go back to the land board and nego-
tate an operating lease and pay a
$500 deposit for a mineral survey so
the land board can determine the
value of the land, and an auction will
be held if someone else wants your
diggings.
But if you decide to stick for the
Two-year lease with third year at
the discretion of the land board you
may do that.
Speaking for uranium prospectors
and operators, attorneys at the land
board meeting Wednesday thought
due to $4,000 bonus given by the
Energy Commission, a pros
pector might be better off to opera tie
under the primary lease with the

If you are interested in prospect
ing for uranium on state lands you
must file an application with the
state land board or, brother, you are
trespassing!
Because prospecting is again be-
coming an active and lucrative pas
time in Montana, and because con-
troversy has developed in at least
one instance when two people pros
pected the same piece of land and
the land board had to play Solomon,
Attorney General Arnold Olsen has
drawn two forms an application
to prospect state lands and the other
an Uranium Prospecting Lease.
If you have your geiger counter
and your walking shoes and you are
headed for state land you had better
first write the department of state
lands for an application to prospect,
and then you will have to wait until
the board approves your application.
When you apply you will have to
pay filing fee of $3.50 and then
you will have to pay SOC an acre
rental for use of the land.
