much loss in weight after the
grass dries up.
There r several advantages
to early marketing of dry cows
and heifers. For one thing, prices
are usually higher in mid-sum-
mel than in the fall when there
are runs of all kinds of cattle on
the markets. Still another advan-
tage is that early marketing gets
rid of COWS that are a bit on the
rough order and tend to get
patchy or COLBY when fat. Tallow
may increase the weight but there
is not much of a market for tall
low these days.
So right now might be a good
time to give some thought to put
ting this she-stuff on the mid
summer market. I know it sounds
quite contrary to what we used
to think. 1t used to be rather
widely held that cured range
grass was necessary to fatten cat
tie. However, by putting dry COWS
over the scales to see just when
gains and losses do occur, the
U. S. Range Livestock Expert
ment station at Miles City finds
that gains drop off as grass dries
up. Cured grass is very good feed
for maintaining cattle but it does
MT put all the gain on cattle that
we used to think it did.

PLAN FOR
FARM SAFETY WEEK

A full week of activity is being
planned In many Montana COM
munltIes for the observance of
National Farm Safety Week,
July "a to 80, according to Mrs.
Frances H. Macdonald, chairman
OF the Montana Extension SER
vice safety committee.
With the theme, Safety is in
Your Hands," the weeks activi-
ties Will focus attention upon the
individuals responsibility in pre-
Vention of accidents, she said.
The National Safety Council.
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture and other cooperating groups
suggest that each day of Farm
Safety Week be devoted to a par
tIcular phase of safety. The theme
for Sunday is Reverence for
Life" and on Monday home safety
will be stressed. Safety with live
stock will be emphasized Tuesday
and rural people are reminded
that one out of four farm work
accidents involves the handling
Of livestock.
Falls are one of the leading
causes of both farm and home
accidents and Wednesday empha--
will be on repair or replace
ment of unsafe ladders and the
placing of guards or handraiIs at
hazardous places. Safety on the
highway is the theme for Thurs
day, and on Friday safety with
machinery will be stressed. Sat-
lrday calls for a review of what
las been done toward accident
prevention during the week and
check up of the farm and home

A SUGGESTION FOR
RANGE CATTLE PRODUCERS

Right now might be a pretty
good time to give some thought to
the early marketing of dry COWS
and heifers that are out on range.
They are making good gains while
the grass is green and will con-
tinue to do so as long as the
grass stays green. However, e
cent studies show that when the
grass begins to dry up, the gains
will start to taper off until about
September when actual losses in
weight will begin to appear.
Some producers have found that
it is good business to market the
dry COWS and heifers while they
still have the gains made on grass
or at least before there is too

FLY CONTROL ON
YOUR FARM

1OOR FARM
A good sanitation program
coupled with the application OF
chemical insecticides will go far
in keeping flies under control on
the farm.
The aim of the sanitation pro-
gram is to remove the places
where flies breed. Most farm
folks know the trouble spots -
manure piles, old stack bottoms.
and trash piles. In fact, any de-
caying organic matter invites
flies.
With such breeding places re-
moved it is a much easier Job to
complete the control program
with insecticides.
A relatively new chemical that
IS giving good results on flies is
malathion. 1t is especially effec-
tive against flies that have de-
veloped resistance to DOT, lin
dane and methoxychlor. Mala-
thlon is used as a residual spray
applied on walls, fences and in
side buildings where flies rest.
1t may also be used in home
mixed or prepared bats.
A recommended spray mixture
of malathion is l gallon of so
percent malathion concentrate in
so gallons of water. Apply one
gallon of the mixture to each
1000 square feet of area. Adding
10 pounds of sugar to the So
gallon mixture will extend the
residual effectiveness for a few
days.
DOT must not be used in dairy
barns nor applied to dairy cattle
or any animals that will be
slaughtered within 80 days. Meth
oxychlor is approved for use in
dairy barns and on animals. Ma
lathion and lindane may also be
used in dairy barns but not in
repeated applications on animals.
In all cases. follow manufac-
.urer'S directions when using any
chemical insecticide and follow
the letter any safety precau-
ions given in the directions.

BE PREPARED o

Now while everything is nice
and green there is not GO
much danger of fire but it won,t
be long until range and crons
will become drier and the fir
hazard will be greater. So between
now and then offers a good on
portunity to get prepared to pre-
vent fires and to control them if
they should start.
Fire guards pIowed around
grain fields and across the range
particularly in those areas Dor
dering highways and railroads
are a good protective measure
Similar guards pIowed around
buildings may prevent the loss
OF a valuable structure.
II you have a cache of fire
lighting tools on your place now

equipment is on hand and ready
for immediate use.
And what about your harvest
ing equipment that will be used
later on? Are the tractors. trucks
and combines you will use in +he
grain fields equipped with ex-
haust pipes that point upward
rather than down into combustihIe
stubble? If not, now is a good
time to get them fixed.
If you have a power weed
sprayer on your place, be sure
to leave the tank filled with water
and hoses and nozzeIs ready for
action after you finish your sprav-
ing work for the summer. Experi-
ence has shown time and again
that the power weed spraver
makes an excellent piece of fire

And lastly, be sure you know

how to contact them in case YOU

Of federal state relationships as this ma
tons peculiar and praiseworthy contrl-
button to the science Of government. It rep
resents meeting Of minds which were
seeking to vest the central government with
the powers it needed, while preserving to
the states those rights and privileges re

The gradual and now acceleratng de

to Supreme Court justices who might be
said to represent the new school Of socio-
logical Jurisprudence" They lean, not upon
the pillars Of the law. but upon the dubious
conclusions Of social scientists" who in

Year by year, decision by decision and

'rhe powers not delegated to the Unit

Those words have an unreal ring to
them in this day Of federal encroachment
upon the rights of both the states and the
people. But they should be kept in the
minds of all Americans. The time may yet
come when they will regain acceptance
from those who WELD judicial and eXecu-
tive dominion over the people. Fortunately,
there are still those willing to stand and

bodied in the 10th Amendment Their
fight is being made within the framework

Many citizens are blind to the constitu-

II is fashionable these days in Northern
circles and Southern cells to scoff at the
doctrine Of States Rights. But there is no
denying the fact that respect for state
sovereignty was woven into the cloth of
The American Constitution. Had it not been
