Gas Refunds

Farm and ranch operators may
soon get refunds on federal excise
taxes on gasoline used on their
places for farming and ranching
purposes.
A new law allows the refund
of the present tax of 2 cents per
gallon.
To get the refund, a farmer or
rancher must make a claim on
Form 2240 and file it with the
u. S. District Director of the In
ternal Revenue Service after
June / and before October l.
These forms will be available
after June / at Internal Revenue
Offices, county extension offices
and at many banks and post of-
fices.
The first refund payments will
be made by the Internal Revenue
after June 80 and they will cover
taxes on gasoline bought and
used during the first six months
of 1856. After that, refunds will
cover one-year periods from July
l to June 80.
, Besides the federal tax on gas
oline, refunds are also allowed
on federal taxes on diesel fuel or
special motor fuels used by a
farmer for farming purposes.
No tax refunds will be made

Test Your
Neighborliness

/. Do you cut your grass regu-
larly, dispose of leaves, weeds and
cuttings neatly, prune trees and get
rid of dead branches? Is your alley
side as attractive as your front
yard thanks to cleanliness and the
camouflage of flowers?
2. Are your porches and steps
sturdy and recently painted, your
concrete walks even and free from
cracks, your ratings firm?
3. Is your garage cleared of
greasy rags, flammable materials,
piles of paper and junk? Is the
garage a storage, spot for the car
plus neatly placed tools rather
than an enclosed junk heap? Is
your garage door sturdy? Have the
windows been washed recently?
Have you oiled the door?
4. Do you have separate contain
r for garbage and trash complete
with lids? Are the cans placed out
of sight Or attractively enclosed?
5. Have your cutters and down.
spouts been cleaned out? Is your
drainage planned to taper off
rather than flowing swiftly over
others property?
6. Is the outside of your house
cleaning with paint? Though in
dividual, does your color scheme
fit in with adjoining houses? Has
your porch and garden furniture
been paint-freshed this year? Are
your garden tools an attractive
identifying color rather than a
chipped-off brown?
z. Do you sweep the alley back
of your house periodically to elm
mate broken glass and splitting
trash?
A Eyes" answer to every ques-
ton means you are a person every
one would like to- live next to.
Even one mo" indicates your
disregard for those living closest
to you. During Clean Up-Paint Up
Fix-up time, repair, remodel, plant
and paint. From now on, be a
good neighbor!

mination, it's a good plan TO
allow for uncertainties by seed
ing thickly. Then if conditions
r good you can thin out the
excess plants. The best time to
make the first thinning is about
the time the plants get their first
pair of true leaves. If you wish
you can do the thinning in two
stages. With carrots, for example,
you might thin out the first time
to one inch apart. Later on thin
again and remove every other
plant.
OF purse different vegetables
vary in their space requirements
and this must be considered in
thinning. Also plants in the dry
land garden need wider spacing
than in the irrigated garden. The
new Montana Extension Service
bulletin on gardening has a Ia
BILE of suggested in-the-row and
ibetween-rOw Spacings recon-
mended for different garden
crops. This is a helpful guide,
particularly for the beginning
gardener. The title of this bulle-
tin is 1.-THE Montana Vegetable

able at the county extension Of

Starting a Lawn
Spring is a good time to start
a new lawn, although horticul-
turists recommend late August
or early September as better
from the standpoint of weed
growth and cool growing wealth
er.
But whether you seed your
lawn this spring or wait until
later summer, be sure to take
pains to make a good seedbed.
Assuming that you have good
top soil, good drainage and that
the area has been plowed, your
next step is to harrow and rake
the seedbed Immediately before
sowing the grass seed. Break
down the clodS and Jumps until
the soil has a desirable granular
texture. At this point it is a
good practice to rake in an am
nominated phosphate fertilizer,
such as 10000 or 16-20-0. Apply
the fertilizer at the rate of 5 to
10 pounds per 1000 square feet.
Then harrow and rake the seed
bed again until the area is quite
smooth.
In buying your seed, get only
the best quality. Kentucky Blue
grass is the foundation for most
successful lawns and it thrives
well in most parts of Montana.
Frequently other grass seeds
are combined with it to serve as
a nurse crop until the Kentucky
Bluegrass becomes established.
in a mixture, Ken
lucky Bluegrass should compose
at least so percent of the mix
ture. If some clover is desired
you can use 95 percent Kentucky
Bluegrass and 5 percent White
clover.
With a mixture composed
of Kentucky Bluegrass
the suggested seeding rate is 2
to 4 pounds per 1000 square feet.
Whether you broadcast the seed
by hand or use a mechanical
grass seeder, be sure to get an
application. Rake the seed
bed lightly after sowing and firm
with a roller is necessary.
The next important step in get
ting your new lawn off to a good
is to keep the seedbed moist
at all times. Sprinkle lightly SO
not to wash out the seed and
continue the %sprinkling program
long enough to terminate the
slower growing Kentucky Blue
grass. Once termination is COM
olete, water the lawn less fire.

claims for refunds must be pre-

the claim with good records.
Use of 2,4-D on Weeds
Control of weeds in wheat and
other grains with 2,4-D is a fair
ly common practice these days.
However, some folks still don't
get as good results as they might,
mainly because of improper. tim
ing of their spraying operations.
So today let's run over a few
important points on when to
spray.
You'll get better control of
weeds in your winter wheat or
spring grain if you delay treat
ment with 2.4-D until after the
grain has stooled. If you spray
before this time there is a chance
that the crop may be damaged
and in addition the late germinat-
ing weeds may come UP after
the spraying operation. By the
time the grain has stooled, most
Of the weed seed that is going
to terminate will have done so.
Applying 2,4-D anytime from
stooling until the boot stage is
considered safe as far as the crop
itself is concerned. But after the
crop reaches the boot stage it
becomes more susceptible to in
jury by 2, AID and yields may
be reduced. After the grain is in
the milk stage there is less dan
ger Of injury by 2,4-D.
Rates of application of 2,4-D,
of course, will depend upon the
kind of weeds, stage of growth
and general growing conditions.
Young. weeds require less 2,4-D
than older weeds, and weeds
growing under good conditions
r killed easier than those grow
ing under poor condition.
Usually a rate of one-third to
three+fourths of a pound of 2,4-D
acid equivalent per acr will
control most broadleaved weeds.
On small grain rates up to one
pound per r may be used
with safety Goats excepted)
where severe ~infestations of semi
tolerant weeds occur. Rate in
creases are suggested for Russian
Thistle, Sunflower, Wild Buck
wheat, Field Bindweed and 9TH
ers.
In flax, use the anime form
only when flax is l to 5 inches
tall at the rate of a third of a
pound per acre.
In corn the anime form is the
best at one-third per acre After
the corn is Is inches tall use
drops on spray booms. Expect
some injury.

A man was justifiably proud of
his lawn until one year a heavy
crop of dandelions appeared. He
tried everything imaginable in an
effort to get rid of them, but
without success.
Finally, in desperation, he wrote
to an agricultural college, listing
the remedies he had tried, and
concluding with the appeal:
What shall I do now?"
Several weeks later he received
this reply: 1--WE suggest that you
learn to love them"

MY Dads
Richer n Yours!
BY Dave Choate

When two young lads get to
Dragging about their fathers,
there's no telling what lengths
they will go to in their word
battle. 1t usually winds up into
a hot "He isl, "He amt" con-
test. Like the one l heard about
the other day.
1t seems that two typical boys
we're making big men of their
fathers. One said, "My old
mans got more money than
your father will ever have!"
To which the other lad, not
to be outdone, replied, "That's
a lot of baloney. Why yester-
day, which was Mothers Day,
my Pa presented my mother
with a genuine string of pearls
that cost one million dollars"
Boys will be boys. And Moth
ers will always be mothers.
With this in mind-and calling
your attention to the fact that
Mothers Day is coming soon
l suggest that you come in and
select something really nice for
her.
All kinds of things are a.
waiting your most critical in
spection. Toilet sets. Combs and
brushes. Manicure sets. Ster-
ling silver pieces in sets or
singly. Anyone will make Moth
er very happy-no matter how
small the cost. Come in. Easy
terms are yours for the ask
ing. You're always welcome.
P. S. If there's a Dragging
boy around, bring him in, too!
