test for purity and termination.
The production of certified
grain and bean seed of nearly all
recommended varieties has been
increasing in the past few years.
Besides adult farmers producing
certified seed several FLA and
Al members are carrying certi-
fed small grain projects on their
fathers farms.
A run down of the certified
grain growers in the county this
year will include producers of the
following types and varieties of
crops: fourteen growers of Sell
kirk wheat, five Lee wheat, two
Thatcher wheat, two Gopher oats,
one Compana barley, six Vantage
barley, one grower of seed O
including Hybrids Wisconsin 1902
and 279, and the open pollinated
varieties Gehu, Falconer, North

ing upon species of weed and
growing conditions.
Chemical control alone is us,,-
ally more expensive and less eff
fect1ve than combined cropping
spraying and cultivation.
A rate of one to two mounds
Of 2,4-D per acre is suggested for
control of most broadleafed per-
ennlal weeds. Leafy spurge and
goatweed require a minimum of
three pounds of acid per acre for
effective control or six to EIGHT
pounds of parent acid per acre
when only one application each
year is made.
Soil sterilants are very effec-
tive in eradicating perennial
weeds and are probably the best
where only small patches are
present. Sodium chlorate, atlacide
"a commercial chlorate), borax
and sodium chlorate-borax COM
ibination are all effective soil
sterilants. All should be applied
in the fall from September / to
Oct. Is.
A bulletin entitled Perennial
Weeds and Their Control" is
available at the Extension office
for different rates of appIica-
ton on different weeds.
1t should be evident to MANY
who planted dirty seed last spring
that cheap seed is the most ex-
pensive item used on the farm

WEED CONTROL FOR
FLAX AND CORN

FOR broadleaved weeds in flax
II is recommended that 2,4-D or
MCP amines be used when the
flax is one to five inches tall At
a rate of 3 pounds per acre
z,4-D anime gives a better kill
on buckwheat and Russian thistle
nan does MOP. Use in ten gal
Ions of water per acre.
To control broadleaved weeds
IN corn cultivation is still the
most practical and best. 2.4-D
may be used at rate of g to S
pounds per acre. After the corn
IS 10 inches tall use drop on
spray booms. Expect some in

CITY Council News
By Harold Mercer

The city council met Monday
night, June 20 with every one
present with the exception of Ed
Erickson who is on vacation. This
was the longest meeting held by
your new council so far, with adj
journment being at five minutes
to midnight.
Many important matters were
taken up with some Of the results
as follows. Upon the recommen-
dation of Lionel Gall and his
street and alley commission the
council voted to acquire a new
street sweeper. After much study
we found that it was costing
about four hundred dollars a
month to clean about five blocks
of main and central with no
cleaning in the residential sec
tons at all. With this new sweep
er we will be able to give com
plete coverage of the city at no
additional cost. This sweeper will
be put into service within the
next month.
Upon the recommendation of
Harold Mercer and his street
lighting committee the council
voted to place two additional stop
lights on Central Ave.
Upon the recommendation of
Paul Ulshafer and his police
committee the council voted to
hire Earl Mauge as the new
chief of police for a six months
probationary period. This man
has been very highly recommend
ed by former employees and has
a wide range of police work to
his credit.
The council would like to point
out that there is only one way
to really find out if an individual
will fill the job and that is by
giving him an opportunity to
show what he can do.
A few building permits were
granted with none being rejected:
also approval was given for the
new sewer and water mains to
be laid in the new Bach addition.
The bills were read and ap-
proved with several being dis
cussed as to why they should be
so high.
Under consideration is the
problem of what we can do with
our sewage. The state health
board is at this time attempting
to stop all cities from using the
for their sewage disposal.
This could be a very costly item
to the city of Sidney if we are
forced to build a disposal plant
such as they are having to build
the city of Glendive at this
lime.
Our next meeting will fall on
Tuesday, July 5 since Monday
Will be the fourth.

Cameras Respond to Good Treatment

TODAY'S column is one Of ad-
L vice-to new camera owners.
But one we feel will also be of
value to owners Of not-so-new
cameras.
When you took that new camera
out Of the box, there was an in
struction book with it, we're sure.
It tells you in detail how to oper-
ate your camera-and under vary
ing circumstances. It's designed
to help you get the best possible
pictures. But, Of course, it can't
do asthing for you II you don't
read it carefully. Do that before
you take your first pictures.
They'll be better pictures. Know
ing how your camera operates
and what its limitations are-is a
good way to avoid disappointment.
Since all new cameras are care
fully inspected before packing,
yours should work fine. However,
if it is the exception to the rule
and shows any inclination to stick,
don't force it. Take it to your
photo dealer, find out what is
wrong and the proper remedy
