Voters 10 Keep
AGE Secret

With the susceptibilitles Of the
ladies in mind, the District Elec-
ton Board has decided voters
win not have to declare their age
when registering.
They win be asked instead
whether they win be 81 or over
at the time Of the next election
This was one Of the decisions
yesterday when the board men,
bers announced q hearing to be
held on November 8. Organiza-
tions and individuals will be
given opportunities then TO dis
tcuss the proposed registration
forms to be filled out by voters.
Dual Vote Question
Board Chairman Newell w.
Ellison said 1t has been decided
so far that the registrant will be
asked, on the forms to be filled
out. his name. residence, ~
question pertaining TO age. his
citizenship. whether he has voted
elsewhere. whether he now claims
the right to vote elsewhere, and
his party affiliation.
The elections-the first in the
District in 81 yearswiil be held
on May /. Parties then may
choose representatives to their
national committees. delegates
and alternates TO national con-
ventions. and members Of Dis
trict central committees. The
Republicans already have an
nounced they will make such
choices in their election.
In preparing this form to be
filed out BY District voters, "
Mr.. Ellison said. eve have tried
to keep. registration as simple
as possible while still complying
with the law"
Registration Places Later
It is expected that registration
on the forms viii begin about
December ! in the District Build
ing. Mr.. Ellison said 1t is PLANNED
to open registration centers later
lin various places around the city
Many Government workers are
expected to refrain from regis
tering. since they would have 70
declare themselves as Republi-
cans. Democrats-or even Social
lists. The declarations are neces-
sary. since the elections are to
be strictly party elections.

Water Report
Hints al State
Use Of Potomac
Plenty Is Available
If Willing to Poy
For Ii, Study Finds

ANNAPOLIS. oct. 20 R.-A
commission studying Maryland's
water needs today generally
agreed there is plenty Of water
Iif you're willing to pay for It,
But there was the slightest
suggestion made that the State
consider ilnpounding the Poto-
mac River for future needs Of
the areas around Washington
and in Central and Western
Maryland.
This possibility was contained
lin a subcommittee report SUBJ
Imitted by Delegate E, Homer
White, Democrat Of Wicomicc
County, which said the future
needs on the Eastern Shore
Southern Maryland and the Bal
ltimore metropolitan area appar-
emily present no problems.
Uncertain ON Source
at Is uncertain IL future
water supplies for the Maryland
portion Of the Washington Met
ropolitan Area win come from
the Potomac River or other
sources" the report said.
Overall use Of the Potomac
River. which derives its waters
also from Pennsylvania, Virginia
and West Virginia, must be con-
sidered and the use OF the waters
of the Potomac River and its
tributaries in those States will
have an important bearing upon
the availability Of the waters Of
the Potomac River without inn
|poundment to the people Of the
Washington metropolitan area
|of Maryland and to the peid-
mont and Montana sections Of
the State for both water supply
and agricultural purposes.
IF impeachment Of the Po-
tomac River is required In order
that all requirements for the
use Of its waters may be met.
then negotiations Of various
kinds with other States and with
the Federal Government win be
involved" 1t concluded.
Increasing farm irrigation APP
parently Is the biggest problem
in present water supplies, how
ever. according to DR.. Joseph r.
Singewald. head of the Depart
ment OF Geology, Mines and
Water Resources. In the tide
water areas. these irrigation
needs can be met with the
ground water supply, he said.
But Central and Western Mary
land areas must irrigate from
streams and other surface
waters.
Suggests Storage Ponds
He suggested the Legislature
might want to initiate some sort
of State aid program to help
farmers finance storage ponds.
Another possible solution
would be some form Of collective
action by farmers Ia certairl
areas. whereby storage would be
provided and the cost equally dis
|tributed, possibly by increased
taxes. he said.
Three subcommittee reports
were submitted yesterday and the
lchairmen were asked to get to-
lgether and consolidate them into
Ia single report for the commits
sion.

Chris Josephson, chairman OF

Sterilization and Conservation
committee, has announced that
farmers and ranchers wishing to
carry out eligible conservation
practices and receive cost-sharing

the county ASC office prior to
beginning a practice.
The 1855 AC program, he ex-
plains, includes direct financial
assistance to operators for the car

OF conservation practices is avail

emphasis is being placed upon
such practices as seeding perma-

the acreage of sod crops, seeding
grasses and legumeS to keep land
under temporary protective cover.
seeding grasses and legumes in

MI. Josephson points out that
the 1855 AC program is intended

composites the dual purpose of
protecting the land and promoting
more efficient and profitable
farming.
In addition to the practices al

points out that there are MANY
others for which cost-sharing Is
allowed. These include such earth

BIRDsFOOT

RlchIand county farmers who
plan to seed birdsfoot trefoil for
irrigated pastures are advised to
be sure to use the Empire strain
Oh this legume crop.
B1rdsfoot trefoil is gaining IA
vor as a pasture legume, because
II produces good midsummer for
age, IS less demanding of mois-
ture and soil fertility than some
other pasture legumes, is paIatable
TO livestock and has less tendency
to cause bloat.
Although it has been used for
sometime in other parts of the
country, birdsfoot trefoll is reIa-
lively new in Montana since the
chief problem has been to find a
variety that is winter hardy under
Montana conditions. Tests made
by the Montana Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station have demonstrate
ed that Empire, a broadleaf, late
maturing strain, is suitable for ir-
rlgated pasture use in Montana.
Before planting, seed of birds
foot trefoil must be innoculated
with cultures especially prepared
for this legume.
Farmers interested in using this
legume may obtain further infor-
nation about it in the county ex-
tension office.

A FARM SAFETY HINr

Farm to live and live to farm
is a good slogan for farmers to
follow all the time but especially
so now that the spring work sea-
son is starting and machines will
be in more frequent use.
Machinery accidents kill more
farm workers every year than
any other type of farm work ac-
cident, according to National Safe
ty Council statistics.
Many accidents with farm ma
chinery would never happen if the
operators would keep all guards
and safety devices in place, and
stop the machines before unclog-
glng, oiling or adjusting them.
A complete checkup of all farm
machinery first thing in the spring
make certain that it is in safe
operating condition is a good pre-
caution against accidents.

season, the new Montana Exten7

Tor both beginning gardeners and
IhoSe with more experience.

Written by Leonard A. Yaeger

tin opens with suggestions on Sc
Letting the site for the garden and
development of a garden plan.
Following chapters deal with
building soil fertility. starting
plants early, ground preparation
and seeding, irrigating, and spe-
CHIC directions for growing indi-
Vldual vegetable crops.
The bulletin also contains a list
OF vegetable varieties recommend

guide which gives the planting

Native grasses such as bluejoint
and wheatgrasses also need a good
start before spring grazing be-
gins, even though this may mean
keeping the animals on feed for
a week or two longer. Again cit
ing the branch station at Havre
studies there show that turning
cattle on young grass that is not
ready for grazing can mean a
weight loss of from so to 100 lbs.
per head.
By delaying spring grazing IN
I'll the grass gets a start you will
pc giving the grass plants a chance
to develop into strong, healthy
grasses which will furnish more
forage in the long run.
The Sidney herald., 1955-04-28
EARLY sPRING GRAzING

It's a great temptation to turn
stock on green grass just as soon
as possible in the spring. And this
IS especially so in a year like this
when green growth is slow in
starting. However, it is much bet
ter for both the stock and the
grass II you let the grass get a
good start before it is grazed.
Even crested wheatgrass, which
IS usually ready for grazing earlier
than most native grasses, needs to
get a start before livestock is
turned onto it. For example. at
the North Montana Branch sta
ton at Havre it is the practice
to let the crested wheat get at
least four to six inches high be-
fore grazing is started.
