sized, poisoning and trapping will
do little permanent good unless
nesting and shelter areas are
destroyed. If these shelter spots
r not destroyed, rats and mice
from neighboring areas move in
to the vacated premises and the
program is right back where it
started.
Nearly all bird contamination
occurs on the top layer of wheat
in storage and is a sure sign that
birds use the bins for rooSting
and feeding. The simple process
Of screening ventilatorS and win
dows will prevent this kind of
contamination.
Although insects are Of minor
Importance in Montana, he said,
they r occasionally a local prob
lem. In such cases the high mois-
ture content of wheat going into
storage is usually responsible.
Both the U. S. Department of Ag-
riculture and the Montana Extern
sion service have information on
control Of insects in stored grain.

used IN the mixture are adapted
to local soil and moisture condi-
tons. Varieties that are not adap-
ted to your local conditions will
only die out and decrease the
value of the pasture.
Still another point is to be par
ticularly careful to select forage
plants that will fit the rotation
system on the individual farm. In
other words, the forage plants in
the mixture should last for the
time planned for the rotation.
And finally, the various plants
used in the mixture should grow
well together and give the highest
possible production throughout the
growing season.
BY observing these principles
you will have a pasture that fits
your particular conditions.
1t is a good thing to make ar
rangements early for the seed you
will need for your pasture SO that
you will be assured of getting the
varieties you want.

subject we suggest that you get

Contamination of Montana
grain, according to the entomolo-
gist, is from three sources-ro-
dents, birds and insects with rat
and mouse contamination being
the most prevalent. Most other
contamination is caused by birds
and only a small amount can be
traced to insects.
Fortunately, Roemhild said.
contamination of grain is some
thing that producers and hand
lers can prevent. The best way
to prevent rodent contamination
is a double = barrelled program
aimed at eliminating the rodents
by poisoning and discouraging
the influx of others by destroying
suitable nesting and feeding sites
around the grain storage area.
Excellent poisons which r rea-
sonably safe to use are on the
market, he said, and two of the
newest and best are Warfarin and
Plval. Steel traps with a "touchv''
trigger may be used to clean I'm
any bait-shy rodents which re-
main.

Columbia Pictures and, in par
ticular, executive producer Jerry
Valid had to solve a particularly
vexing problem in the production
of its current romantic comedy,
"Phfft," starring Judy Holiday,
Jack Lennon, Jack Carson and
Kim Novak starting at the Centre
Theatre Sunday. How was the
title pronounced?
Valid decided to obtain from
English professors throughout the
country a definitive pronouncia-
ton of the slang term, "phffft,' -
but he discovered there we're al
most as many opinions as there
were authorities!
For instance Richard Armour,
who serves as professor of Eng
lish at Scripps College, Claremont,
Calf, stated: "The word 'phffft'
is pronounced 'phfft.' It is ap-
proximately the sound an electric
light bulb makes when it burns
out, only you can't hear it." An
other helpful" professor, Maurice
Beebe of Purdue University, had
this to contribute: cit is easier to
describe the sound than to tran
scribe it. 'Phfft,' is, I take it, the
sound that a fire-cracker makes
when it doesn't explode"
Other PROFESSIONAL experts came
up with their own individual
mouthings of "Phfft," but there
was little progress towards a uni
form pronunciation. Valid de-
cided to take the question to the
public. Seven of ten Hollywood
pedestrians pronounced it "Ftttt,"
with a heavy accent on the final
st. The public had spoken!
And SO "Phffft" is the sound of
romance on the rocks, which ba-
sically is the story of the new
Judy Holiday comedy.

Almost Persuaded
4 Gospel Singer Waits for a Tran

One Sunday in the early 1905 a lone man
stepped from a train in a small Eastern town.
His name was Philip Bliss. After twenty years
of impoverishment and heart-breaking work,
he had risen to the front ranks of Americas
gospel singers and hymn composers.
Deeply religious, Bliss never missed an OPP
portunity to attend church. He also had very
practical reasons for his interest in sermons.
1t was from the pulpit that he drew ideas for
most of his hymns. Dwight L Moody had told
the story of a shipwreck and Bliss had written
Let the Lower Lights Be Burning" He had
heard Evangelist D. w. Whittle tell of a battle
during the Civil War and he came up with his
hymn, Hold the Fort"
Waiting for his connecting train to CHI
cago, the composer slipped into a church. The
preacher was reading from the Acts Of the
Apostles =" Then Agrippa said to Paul,
Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian"
During his sermon the Rev. Brundage stated,
+. Ito be almost saved is to be entirely lost"
and Philip Bliss had the theme for one of his
greatest hymns.
A music teacher with an income Of thirteen
dollars a month at 26, Philip Bliss was earning
a fortune from his hymn books at 36-and

wheat for possible contamination.
The food and drug administra-
ton was also ordered to take le-
gal action against any lots of grain
found to be contaminated. This
means, Roemhild said, that con-
taminated grain will be diverted
to livestock use or destroyed en-
tirely if it cannot be used for
livestock feed.
Diverting the grain to livestock
use means a loss of SO to rs cents
per bushel, he said, while destruc-
ton of the grain NEAR the en-
tire value of the grain is lost.
Surveys made during the past
year, Roemhild said, indicate that
a number of carloads Of Montana
wheat, by the time it is shipped,
is liable to court action and con-
demnation with resulting loss of

used but has failed to control lice

dairy cattle use Rotenone or py-
renone. Cattle can be dipped or
sprayed on any nice day in mid
winter when the temperature is
fairly mild. It is advisable to stop
operations early in the afternoon,
so that the cattle can dry off be-
fore night. Refer to Montana Ex-

-STILBESTROL IN
FATTENING CATTLE

The use of StilbestroI in cattle
fattening rations has been wide
ly publicized and much interest
has developed locally on the use
of this hormone, in carefully
mixed commercial supplements.
This supplement containing the
hormone is safe to handle and
feed in proper amounts.
1t has been found that all fat
tening cattle respond favorably to
stilbestrol feeding if fed in prop
er amounts although steers show
more response than heifers. No
stilbestrol feeds should be fed to
dairy cattle, breeding COWS or
bulls, swine, poultry or sheep. A
level of 5 to 10 milligrams in the
daily ration has given results al
though the 10 milligram level
gave the best results. The supple
ment obtained from the CONNER
cial feed compares usually to
supplement 10 milligrams of hor-
none in 2 lbs. of supplement.
In selecting a cattle supplement
containing stilbestrol the same
factors that would be used in Sc
Letting a supplement which does
not contain stilbestrol.
Remember, stilbestrol is not a
substitute for such nutrients as
p%roteins, minerals, vitamins, etc.,
but rather it appears to enhance
the nutrient properties of any
feeds consumed by cattle. A bal
anced ration is, therefore, still a
must before best results r OBJ

THE GARDEN

FLAMING THE GARDEN
The first of the seed catalogs
are already arriving and as usual
when this occurs it turns our
thoughts to plans for next sea-
sons garden.
In looking over the catalogs
you will notice a number of new
varieties of crops, or improved Sc
lections of old and standard a
r~ieties, or possibly a resistant
strain of the older or standard
varieties. Before ordering seed of
such varieties, read the descrip-
tive material carefully. Length of
growing season and other condi-
tons in your area may or may
not be suitable for the varieties
you may wish to use.
And if you do decide to buy seed
of a new variety that has not
been tested in your locality, get
a small packet of seed and try it
this year to see how it performs
under conditions in your area
Then if it turns out well you can
make a larger planting the fol-
lowing year. In the meantime,
for your main paintings it would
be well to stick to those varieties
which have proven satisfactory
under your particular growing
conditions.
A bulletin entitled "Vege-
table Varieties for Montana Gar
denS" is available at the extension
office and will certainly furnish
definite information on varieties
to plant in our area.

IRRIGATED PASTURES
Establishing a new irrigated
pasture is a project that deserves
plenty of advance thought - par
ticularly as to the pasture mixture
which is to be used. Once a pas
ture is in, it is ordinarily used for
several years.
Briefly some of the guiding
principles in making up pasture
mixtures are listed below. In the
first place, have the mixture in
clude both grass and a legume.
The legume should not exceed so
percent of the volume of the for
age produced.

To Vote on Wool
And Lamb Program

Sheep producers will vote be
tween now and August 10 in a
referendum to decide whether or
not an agreement providing for ad-
vertising, promotional and related
market development activities on
wool and lambs will be put into
effect, it was announced by II.
Robert Dewitt, chairman of the
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee.
The agreement between the re-
Gently organized American Sheep
Producers Council and the Secrc-
tary Of Agriculture provides for
deductions from incentive pay
ments which wool producers are
entitled to receive under the act
of 1854 These deductions will pro-
vide a means of financing the mar
kct development program. Before
the agreement can be put into cf-
feet producers owning at least
two-thirds Of the sheep and lambs
represented by votes in the refer
cndum must vote their approval.
If the agreement is approved the
deductions from payments for the
1855 incentive program to be made
in the summer of 1856, will be l
cent per pound from shown wool
payments and 5 cents per hundred
pounds of live weight from lamb
and yearling payments.
Producers who have owned
sheep or lambs for at least 30 days
any time since January l, will be
eligible to vote. Because deduc-
tions would be made from both
shorn wool and lamb and ycarling
payments, the volume of produc-
ton for this referendum will be
based on the number of sheep six
months of age and older owned
during any one 3O-day period since
January l. The number of sheep
and lambs will be noted on the
ballot by each producer and the
ballot will be signed by him.
Ballots will be accepted by the

sent to all known eligible voters
but if voter has not received a
