Special Measures Can Save
Late Alfalfa Seed Crop
By RALPH MERCER

in 1855 is anybody's guess and the price
will no doubt be in line with the need
and supply.
1t would seem advisable at present
to make sure that a good supply of
seed of acceptable varieties is main
tanned within each county The situation
would be much improved if good seed
of acceptable varieties is available at
a moderate price, if all lots of Golden
Ball and Peliss could enter the COM
mercia1 trade and if all lots that con-
tain hard wheat could be used for other
than seed.
In the latter case there were many
lots of durum used for seed in 1855 that
had substantial amounts of hard wheat
in them. The production from these
lots will have a still higher percentage.
It's very easy to get too much con-
tamination and a subsequent lower
grade
At the county fairs this fall where
durum wheat samples were shown, rs
per cent of them contained hard
wheat. While this may be an exceeding
ly high percentage for the crop as a
whole, still it points out the possibility
of substantial mixing.
Certified Small Grain
Growers who had fields of small grain
that passed field inspection for certifica-
ton should get the lots cleaned and
send a peck sample of the seed as it
is cleaned for sale to the Montana Seed
Growers Association grade will be
established by the Montana Seed Test
ing Laboratory. Until the grade has
been established none of the lot can be
sold as certified seed. Seed not bagged,
tagged and sealed is not certified seed.

Shop for Credit
Circular SAYS

SHOP FOR YOUR credit as you
would for machinery, Wyoming Agri-
cultural Extension Service Circular 142
suggests to farmers and ranchers.
That's one of five rules of credit in
the publication titled where to Get
Credit in Wyoming" The leaflet lists
and explains sources, both govern
mental and private, for long and short
term credit. The new circular is free
at county agricultural extension offices.
Included are eight places to get
short-term credit and nine that offer
long-term loans. The booklet outlines
interest rates and other important fea-
lures of loan agreements from each
source listed.
In suggesting that farmers and ranch
ers shop for credit, the circular eau
tons them to pick reliable lender
and get low as possible rate of in
terest without sacrificing other desir-
able provisions.
The four other rules of credit include:
BE sure the loan will help you earn
enough to repay. the principal and in
terest.
'sSet your repayment dates at times
when you will have farm or ranch re-
ceipts.
Don't let the length of the loan out
run the life of the asset you buy with
the funds you borrow.

time, but a good one in nearly every
sense of the word. The late season
crops are still in the doubtful stage as
this is being written, but we trust we
will have seasonal weather up until
this column is published With all the
unusual kinds of weather and other
things that we aren't used to, we har-
vested good crops and produced album
dant crops of hay and grass.
From the crop standpoint some of the
disease factors that looked alarming at
seeding time didn't develop or didn't
do very much harm. For time it APP
peared that aphids would eat up our
crop, but in most cases some hot
weather took care of them.
Alfalfa Seed
The alfalfa seed crop at best doesn't
look too promising this year and it
could be a very short one unless the
season hangs on longer than normal.
Right now the second crop seed is two
to three weeks late and an early frost
can knock it into a cooked hat.
Z In the first place. a good small grain
year is not a good alfalfa seed year
and that's the situation that existed in
1855. When the first crop should have
been harvested for hay either the
weather wasn't right or producers
wanted to get the last pound of hay
possible regardless of quality. What
ever happened the crop is late and
will be undetermined until the first kill
ing frost arrives.
In many cases il would be possible
to salvage lot of seed providing pro-
ducers are willing to spend the extra
time and money necessary to care for
the crop.
About two weeks time could be
saved if the crop were cut and stacked
when the majority of the pods are in
he dark tan stage If cut and stacked

trough the stack.
With mature pods and blossoms on
lie same plant there will naturally be

om the standpoint of quality it will

freeze hits it standing in the field
id causes a high percentage of black
ed. Good yellow seed always sells
stter when free of dark seed. A green
ast is much preferred and usually the
,rmination is satisfactory.
Again, most of the fields vary great
in maturity. This would appear to

Mrs. Lum subsequently sued Lum
for maintenance of the children by
Lum, a Greenville grocer, said
there had been no lawful marriage
under state law which says:
"The marriage of a white per-
son and a Negro or mulatto or
persons who shall have one-eighth
or more Negro blood with a Mon
golian or person who shall have
one-eighth or more Monaghan
blood shall be unlawful"
Mrs. Lum challenged the consti-
nationality of the statute in an
effort to uphold the marriage and
win support for the children.
In affirming Chancellor S. D.
Thomas ruling that the marriage
was illegal, the high court made
no comment on the case. It did,
however, override Thomas on the
point of temporary custody, leav-
ing the children in the care of their
mother.
Named as co-defendant in the
suit was Hen Lee Lum, Charles
son by a previous marriage, who
held part Of his fathers property.
No further action was immedi-
ately indicated in the cases.

Southern Production
Passes Milestone

Fort Worth, Tex. - Southern
Production Co., Inc, independent
oil and gas producing firm with
headquarters here, passed a sig
nificant milestone April when it's
common stock was admitted to
trading on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Since 1854, it's first full year Of
operation, Southern Productions
net increased from $34O in 1941 to
$4,173,767 in 1854. Gross income
has increased in the same period
from $84,955 to $22,846,916.
With full interests in 9O4 pro-
ducing oil wells and 1859 producing
gas wells, equivalent to $50 full
interest oil wells and 90 full inter-
est gas wells plus it's undeveloped
leaseholds, the company anticipates
continued growth.
Southern Productions reserves
at the end of 1854 were estimated
at 62 million barrels of crude OIL
condensate and plant products and
I.16 trillion cubic feet of natural
gas.
The company owns a 81 per cent
interest in The Offshore Co., which
early this year commissioned a
$3,5OO,000 mobile drilling platform
capable of operating in up to 100
feet of water. Other companies in
which Southern Production owns
interests are Great Northern Oil
Co., which is constructing a refin-
cry near St. Paul, Mimi; and Min
nesota Pipe Line Co. and South

And Why Not

According to press reports this week the presi-
dent of the National Beauty Cuurst League is calling
upon colleges to give degrees in Cosmetology.
The question which naturally follows it seems to us
is: Why not? In the goth Century Industrial and Me-
chancal with it's many Investigations the chief
function of the college appears that of preparing peo
pie with some occupation out of which to honest
living.
Since the historic discovery by Madame c.. j. Walker
in the Art of cultivatng the Beauty of Negro Women
beauty culture has become increasingly important
phase of Negro business activity
It's Importance would receive the recognition it
rightly deserves and the standards of the beauty pro-
fesson would be raised to its proper level with members
of the profession able to obtain college degrees.
We think the suggestion of the president of the
National Beauty Cuturst League we'll worth considera
ton and action by those with whom rest such authority

Paper Says Urban
League Forced To
Reconsider
Position On Race

NEW YORK, N. Y, Apr. IL
The New York Amsterdam-News
asserted in a recent issue that the
National Urban League meeting at
Kansas City April 1917 has been
called to "evaluate the organiza-
TONS entire program in line with
the present day thinking of Ne
groes."
This new introspection on the
part of the League was occasioned
by the resignation from the board
of four Negroes in 9 months, in
criticism of the Leagues small
like pace in meeting problems" the
Amsterdam-News said.
Latest resignation from the
board was that of DR.. John E.
Moseley, Harlem physician, who
told the Amsterdam-News that he
felt the Urban League could act
with greater dispatch in fighting
problems" and who said he agreed
with DR.. George Cannon and JUS
tice Irwin C. Mollison, who quit
earlier, that the organization is
behind the times.
Judge Mollison quit in protest
against domination of the Urban
League board by whites; there were
then 81 white members and 18 Ne
groes, and the justice pointed out
that some of the Negroes and none
of the whites resided in distant
areas, such as the Far West, which
prevented them from regularly at
tending board meetings.
Judge Mollison further charged
that Urban League policy was of
no real benefit to Negroes, but
aided discriminating whites and big
business.
Mrs. George Cochran also re-
signed. The Urban League fol-
lowed that several months later
by naming five new members to
the board, including three Negroes,
Mrs. Mollie Moon, a case worker:
George L. P. Weaver, assistant to
the secretary-treasurer of the CLIO;
and Boyd Wilson, international
representative, United Steelwork-
ers, Clio. Previously, Loren Mil
Ter, of Los Angeles, had been
named to the Board.
Whites named were: Sylvia Got
shall, chairman of the board of the
United Jewish Appeal; and Charles
S. Zimmerman, Of the ILGWU.
The Kansas City conference, to
be attended by local League Sec
retaries from so branches, is the
first in the organizations history
with the purpose of evaluating the
organizations policy and program,
the Amsterdam-News said.
The News also said that the Kan
sas City conference is partially
sponsored by the Rockefeller Foun-
dation.
