REAL SUCCESS

1t is already evident that the truck
crop program in this area will be-
highly successful this season. Prices
may not remain at such heights for
the season but generally farmers are
going to make profit on their cukes,
tomatoes and peppers. For that we
are most happy and bears out our
contention of months ago that we
should expand our economy in the
food crop direction.
We would like to see more mar
kets in other towns of Columbus,
Brunswick and Horny Counties. In the
long run, all of us profit or suffer
in direct proportion to the amount
of spending money that gets in the
hands of the farmer. We believe that
truck crops offer the best opportunity
for consequential income gain on the
part of farmers; thus it's the problem
of the civci-minded to encourage
greater acreage and more diversifi-
cation of farm crops

all angles. Letters were authorized sent
to those who had the power to do some
things about it. 1t is suggested that each
county reappraise its certification pro-
gram On the basis of conditions as they
exist, but try to hold the framework of
program looking toward improvement
in the situation.
Save Grass Seed
1t would be good guess, depending
somewhat on the final provisions of the
Soil Bank program, that grass seed
could be pretty good property for sew
eral years to come. At any rate, the
potential is there and should be ex-
plored by any growers who can harvest
good grass seed of high purity.
There are many species Of grass
grown in the state that should be in
demand. Some of the more common
ones will no doubt be harvested in every
section of the country and would then
be in ample supply, but those that are
common to the plains area might be
on the scarce side, supply-wise.
There are some excellent fields of
crested wheatgrass in the state that
have never been harvested for seed.
This grass has held up in demand for
longer than anyone has ever hoped it
would. Somewhat the same situation
exists with other species.
At any rate, grass seed is good prop
erty. 1t can be harvested, cured,
cleaned and bagged, and if all phases
of processing have been well done, it
will retain its viability over a period
of time. At least it stores we'll and can
be held until the price is right.
This may just be a thought but it
merits little exploring.

Buy Durum Seed
That Is Tested
By D. ]. DAVIS, Subt.
Montana Grain Inspection Lab.

A LARGE NUMBER of durum wheat
seed samples have been tested for
purity and termination again this year.
Here are some of the things we have
found out about it:
Over 98 per cent of the samples con-
tanned some hard red spring wheat.
Only two samples contained none. For
tunately, however, we found that IS
percent contained less than per cent.
Slightly over per cent of the durum
contained per cent or more hard red
spring wheat
Our suggestion is to be careful when
you buy durun seed. If your durum
crop this fall contains over 5 per cent
red spring it will grade No. 2. Over
10 per cent mixture will grade as
linked wheat"
termination of most durum lots is
good The average is 93.5 per cent this
year compared to "a per cent last year.
The purity of most lots is fair, the
average being 91.5 per cent. Most of
the other material is broken seed which
is classed as inert matter.
Variety determination of durum is
practically impossible. Stewart, Garlic
ton, Vernum and Mindurn are very
similar. The first three were developed
by crossing Mindum with Vernal en-
mer then backcrossing this progeny to
Mindum three to five times. A sample
of Mindum type can be distinguished
from one of Golden Ball or Peliss, but
separation Of a mixture of the two types
is not very accurate, however.
Durum varieties are not certified in
Montana. Therefore, growers should
know the source Of the seed they buy,
insist that it has been tested and get
the best available.

winds would bring April showers but
up to the present time that has not
come to pass. So far at least we haven't
been in the direct path of some of the
ruinous winds that have swept across
some areas of our country.
With conditions and crops so varied
in different sections of our state, wealth
er that will help some will be a detri-
ment to others, but I suppose that will
always be the situation. Recently a
certified alfalfa grower made the re-
mark that he was sure hoping his area
would be visited with an April snow
similar to the one they had in the CEN
trail part of the state last year.
I guess it's good thing we don't
have too much to say about the wealth
er, even though some folks are work
ing pretty hard on that item.
Montana Seed Growers Association
The annual meeting of the board of
directors of the Montana Seed Growers
Association was held in Bozeman on
March II and Is. Officers reelected
for the ensuing year were F. A. Halver-
son, Lonepine, president; John Bar

D. Mercer, Bozeman, secretary-treas-

Bozeman, is an ex-officio member of
the board
Several new varieties of cereals were
added to the list for certification. The
announcement was made last month
through the columns of this publication
regarding the release of New Garry
and Rodney oats for the irrigated sec
tons of eastern Montana Actually they
were released primarily for production
IN the lower Yellowstone Valley irriga-
ton project around Sidney. This area
has been plagued for some years with
oat diseases that have caused very
low Oat yields in this area. Because
these varieties are prone to producing
rather high number of false wild oats,
the certification of these varieties will
be restricted.
Cheyenne Wheat Added
Cheyenne winter wheat was added to
the list. It's production will be primarily
concentrated in the central part of the
state where a limited acreage of this
variety has been produced for several
years. 1t is an old variety and not par
ticularly outstanding, but does fit the
present needs for milling wheat There
is not supply of certified wheat for
distribution this fall, but an effort will
be made to import enough seed of all
classes to meet the need.
The board of directors placed limit
on the number of acres of cereal grains
that can be certified. The limit was
placed at 40 acres, but usually a smaller
acreage is recommended. Growers oil
considerable experience may be per
nitted to grow an acreage in excess Of
this amount when authorized by the
secretary. This ruling was made neces
sary because of improper roguing prac
tees to insure clean fields at inspection
time.
While the limit is placed at 40 acre.
much smaller acreage is recon
mended, based on past experience o
