in such large cities, too, is there

precisely the Jew of the small

who is also the most ardent

it was reported here today by
Tuvia Arazi, counsellor of the Is

from a three-weeks' stay in Boil

work for the trade pact.
Mr.. Arazi reported that he was

knowledge of Israeli problems
and exhibited great interest in
Israel. The Israel diplomat said
he had been in contact with lead

had conferred with them about
early launching of a Embarrassing

greater frequency of such marri-

down the barrier. True, the Jew
today no longer goes into mourn

either. After the very quiet we'd

The small-t own Southerner
takes it for granted that to be
a Jew is to be a religious Jew,
that his friend the storekeeper
fully possesses that Hebraic ira
dition handed down through the
centuries for which the Southern
Christian has so deep a respect.
AS the Jew in small Southern
town goes about his business Of
selling dry goods or readY-to-wear
clothing, he rarely suspects the
symbolic role he enacts for The
Gentle society round about him
he represents the unbroken lie
with sacred history and the
prophets Of the Bible. he is the
living witness" to the Second
Coming Of Christ" the link be-
tween the beginning and end Of
things.

This has placed burden upon
the learning and piety Of the
small-town Southern Jew that he
is not always able to support. It
has caused many a Southern Jew
to re-examine those religious
values which he had well-nigh
abandoned.

farming methods also played an important
part.
On one side of the road there will be
a field of alternate fallow and cropped
strips. There will be considerable Stooling
and two-inch heads of grain The yield may
run 10 to II bushels on this field.
A blocked field across the road will have
no Stooling and the heads of grain will be
only an inch long It's questionable whether
this field is worth harvesting.
Walter Geiger, who farms in central Daw-
son county, harvested better than 10 bu-
shells per acre on wheat seeded on good,
clean summerfallow = hardly bumper
crop but still enough to return small
profit. Geiger says he was little late with
his summerfallow operations on another
field. Russian thistles took most of the little
moisture that was stored in the soil This
field yielded only to 4 bushels. Grain
seeded on last years corn ground is total
loss, Geiger said.
1t may be that a year of sub-normal mois-
ture will impose the greatest need for ad-
justment on those producers who run a
combined grain and livestock operation and
have followed the practice of alternating
wheat and corn, rather than wheat and
fallow.
This has proved practical cropping pro-
gram in normal Continued on page 3O)
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-09-15

HOW EFFECTIVE are modern dryland
farming methods in years of relatively
limited moisture supply?
The crop year 1856 was, for some parts
of eastern Montana, the first to put these
methods to a real test. Stubble mulching
and strip cropping have been practiced for
many years but it is only in the last Is years
that they have been generally adopted and
that farmers have had the proper tools and
adequate power equipment to carry them
out And the last Is years have all been
comparatively good production years-not
like the mid 30s.
Nor was 1856 like the mid 30s But in
some sections of the state there was a
moisture deficiency. So what happened in
these sections? We visited some of the
farmers and ranchers in the drier counties
of eastern Montana to find out These
farmers and ranchers were quick to tell
us that the reports about drought condi-
tions were considerably exaggerated. And
there was plenty of evidence that good
farming was standing the test.
Grain yields in Dawson county, one of
the moisture deficiency areas, have varied
from 0 to around Is bushels per acre. While
July and August thundershower activity is
responsible for much of this variation,
there is pointed evidence to indicate that
