SelIxirk Spring Wheat
Selkirk spring wheat, variety re-
sistant to 15B stem rust was increased
in the eastern fourth of Montana in
1855 sufficiently to take care of the
requirements for seeding in the spring
of 1856. Certified seed was brought in
through allotment to Montana and was
produced as certified or approved seed.
There are goodly supplies of seed of
both classes in most of the counties
in that area.
This is mentioned at this time. for
evidently there were some lots Of wheat
sold in the state last year under the
name of Selkirk that were not Selkirk.
This could result in heavy losses in a
stem rust year.
Selkirk spring wheat is a variety
that is recommended only for those
areas of the state that have a stem rust
history. 1t is variety that does well
under favorable growing conditions.
but will not do as well under adverse
conditions as will other recommended
varieties where stem rust is not a fac
tor. Selkirk, when used to protect pro-
duction where stem rust may be fac
tor, should be planted in areas where
more favorable growing conditions are
likely to exist.
Plant only certified or approved seed
that is bagged and tagged.

County Asked to Eose1
Restrictions on PooIs1'

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil has under consideration today
a suggestion that it modify the

ming pool construction easier.
Plummer NJ. Shearin was ap-
plauded during a hearing last
night at Montgomery Hills
Junior High School on proposed
changes in regulations on COM
munity pools when he said
people ought to be encouraged
to build pools. We must put up
with some inconvenience in the
name of progress"
Present regulations are too re-
strictive, he said, because appli-
cants are required to prove be-
fore getting a permit that the
pool will not annoy anyone or
decrease property values.
Sees Program Stymied
The regulations would be
strengthened by a council-pro-
posed amendment prohibiting
permits for pools when it is
shown that they would affect
adversely the present character
or future development of the
surrounding residential COM
munity."
Sidney Jacoby of Bethesda
said, If we cannot change the
character of an area, we cannot
have swimming pools"
! Gregg Everngam, a member of
the Old Georgetown Club which
has been trying for months to
build a pool, said the catch-all
