SAVE SEED TAGS

County Agent States Tag Only
Way of Certifying Source of Seed
"Save those tags on your GER
tilted seed bags" is the advice of
George Vapaa, Kent County Agri-
cultural Agent. "You may want
to continue this certiication, and
you can usually get an additional
premium for such seed that you
produce. One way of saving the
tags is to nail some on the barn
WALL" he adds.
The certifcation tag is the only
positive way you have of identify
ing or Certifying" the source OF
your seed. Dealers of seed rare
ly keep a record of such informa-
ton. And most farmers fail to
keep the tags. AS a result when

has found the armyworm in an
immature stage in several areas
over the state.
Growers should particularly
watch their crops that are next
to grass, meadow, and roadside
areas. If armyworms are noticed
migrating from the grassed areas
that are their natural home and
trying to find a living among
crops, action should be taken inn
mediately.
Best action, says DR.. l.. A.
Stearns, head of the entomology
department at the university, is
to treat with toxaphane. Use 70
per cent toxaphene dust at 20
pounds per acre, or so per cent
emulsifable toxaphene at 11a
quarts per acre as a spray. How
ever, on forage crops soon to be
harvested, substitute 5 per cent
methoxyclor dust at 40 to 5C
pounds per acre, or rs per cent
emulsifiable methoxyclor at
quarts per acre as spray. Meth
oxyclor can be applied, without
residue difficulties, up to Z day:
before cutting; with toxaphene, ar
interval of about 40 days is re-
quired.

Weevils Pose Serious New Threat
To Many Delaware Alfalfa Fields

Weevils Pose Serious New Threat
To Many Delaware Alfalfa Fields
Many farmers are now facing
a second serious threat this sea-
son to their alfalfa fields, reports
DIR. Herbert Lilliron, University
of Delaware insect survey spec
ialist.
Earlier this month, the weevil
threat forced them to make their
first cutting of the crop sooner
than usual, he explains. Full
grown larvae are abundant and
the weather has not been hot or
dry enough to kill as many of
them at cutting time as had been
hoped. These are pupating, or en-
tering the resting stage of a week
or more in the surface litter and
will develop into what are known
as new adults" which will feed
heavily on the new growth that
will spring up in alfalfa fields.
In addition, the "Old adults" of the
species are continuing to deposit
some eggs in the stubble of the
first cutting. These eggs will hatch
into hungry larvae in about 10
days to 2 weeks. Then, there will
be two kinds of the weevil feed
ing in alfalfa fields at the same
time, says Milliron. Furthermore,
since the crop was cut early, new
growth will be slower to appear
and the damage is likely to be
especially severe.
Milliron advises farmers to
check the new growth in their al
falfa fields closely. Ordinarily,
stubble should be sprayed with
heptachlor at the rate of l u pints
mixed in at least 25 gallons of
water for every acre soon after
the hay is removed. However, in
view of the shorter residual eff
feet of heptachlor, abundance OF
pupae and the, quantity of fresh
eggs present in stems and stubble,
delaying this application for a
week or ten days is advised, or
until after the new growth ap-
pears and shows the first signs
of weevil damage. Immediate ap-
.plication should then be made.

Another Unconstitutional Law Knocked For Loop

Incentive Tax Act

Montana's continuing quest for
new industry must stay within
Constitutional limits, the State
Supreme Court ruled this week in
voiding tax incentive act put on
the books by the 1851 Legislature.
What the decision means is that
ne windustrial developments are
not to be given special tax consid-
Grafton over the backs of estab-
lished enterprises which, without
such special consideration, have
proven successful.
This latest piece of special privi-
lege legislation to be voided via
adverse State Supreme Court in
depreciation, would have permitted
new enterprises to use a seven per
cent rather than a 80 per cent
property tax classification during
their first three years of operation.

"These privileges have enabled

On the state level, the conference
which is made up of elected rank
and-file delegates of the several
IUMM&SW locals in the state, joined
the rest of the Montana labor move
ment in endorsing almost a solid
Democratic slate of candidates. The
lone exception which finds Repub-
lican endorsed by Mine-Mill, the
State AF'L-CIO and various Rail
brotherhoods, is in the race for State
Treasurer, with George Davis getting
the nod.
OTHER ENDORSEMENTS
Top candidates endorsed by the
conference included: Cong. Lee Met
calf, Montana First District; Second
District Congressional Nominee, State
Senator Leroy Anderson; Attorney
General Arnold Olsen for the Gov
ernorship; former Lieutenant Gov
ernor Paul Cannon for his old post;
Mary M. Condor for reelection as
State Superintendent of Public In
struction, and State Supreme Court
Clerk Frank Murray for the office
of Secretary of State. In connection
with these candidates the conference
made especial note of the continuing
contribution each has made in sup
porting labor's legitimate desires over
the years, and their excellent records
as public servants of the people of
Montana.
These Candidates, in addition to
their records of public service, were
in the forefront of the fight led by
Arnold Olsen in Democratic ranks to
defeat the so-called Fright
which failed so completely
to secure sufficient signatures for a
place on the ballot, earlier this year.
Other candidates endorsed were
Forrest Anderson for Attorney Gen
eral, Lou Boedecker for Railroad Il
Public Service Commissioner, and
John J. Holmes. For associate justices
of the State Supreme Court the con-
ference went on record in support of
Judge Hugh Adair and James Free
bourn, son of the late Justice Harry
Freebourn.

state is so large that we need more
schools for the same number of
pupils. Our schools are smaller, but
many small schools cost more to build
and operate than a few large ones.
'Last year Montana accepted
over twenty million dollars in
grants from the federal govern
ment. This money was used for
variety of things; the biggest share
went for highway construction. IF
it is right to accept money for all
these other things, why is it not
right to take federal funds to
build schools? Roads are import
ant, but | think children are more
important than roads.
"Some people would have you be-
lieve that our federal government is
a strange and distant bogeyman.
These same people would have us
turn away our own tax dollars re-
turned to us as a federal investment
in our own schools. The federal gov
eminent is you. If it isn't you, if it
isn't our government, if we don't con-
troll it, then those who would deny
us this investment are right, and we
have a real worry with which to con-
tend.

The 1881 law was designed prI-
marily to help such struggling COR
porations as the nationwide Victor
Chemical Co. and the worldwide
Anaconda Company get on their
feet financially in new operations
before being called upon to pay
the same tax as more solidly es-
tabIished business institutions such
as the corner grocery or the neigh
borhood service station.
But, alas and alack, throu
the veins of the five justices
the State Supreme Court flows Ice
water. They, in an opinion by
Justice Horace Davis, affirmed by
Chief Justice Adair and Justices
Anderson, Angstman and Bottom
ly, ruled that the 1851 law &C.
permits the grossest discrimination
between property of the same class
(the law is obnoxious to the
mandates of our institution
Beyond any reasonable doubt the
law is an unconstitutional exercise
of the legislative function to CLASH
fy property for taxation. 1t is our
plain duty to strike it down :"
Davis opinion also stated the
law "sets the plaintiffs (Victor
Chemical had brought the suit) in
dustrial plant apart from other
property of the same general kind
and nature, and obviously discrimi-
mates in favor of one as against
another of the same class - by
taxing the one cat seven per cent,
the other at 80 per cent of its full
and true value :"
The action was brought by Vic
tor in protest over the then Silver
Bow County Treasurer Robert
Maguire's having assessed the COM
pany at 30 per cent in computing
its 1852 taxes. Victor paid first
half 1852 taxes of $14,666 under
protest and appealed without sue
cess first to the Silver Bow County
Commissioners and then to the
State Board of Equalization, before
going into Silver Bow county dis
trict court which also denied the
company's protest. Pending final
ruling by the State Supreme Court,
Victor, Anaconda and other major
corporations have been paying
under protest the difference be-
tween seven and 80 per cent on
their tax assessments.
AS a result of the courts decision,
Victor, Anaconda and other corpo-
rations who had sought to use the
1851 law as a vehicle to pay far
less than their rightful share of
property taxes will have to she'll
out an estimated two million dol
lars to county governments and

"Montana needs a Governor who
has the ambition, the energy and the
fight to seek every kind of assistance
and every kind of aid available for

Democratic nominee for Governor,
told a rally held in Circle Tuesday
night.
"Our state needs more schools and
better schools. We need to educate
people to live in Montana, grow with
Montana and make Montana better
state.
'Tn the last six years the people
of Montana spent nearly seventy mil
lion dollars on school construction
and in many cases only managed to
keep pace with h e growth of
their local education needs. Still
many communities are not able to
raise the money to keep up with the
growing demand for schools. Children
are going to school in parts of this
state in buildings that would be found
unfit for human habitation If someone
tried to live in them. In one school
district, children are going to school
in a stable which was abandoned by
a CCC camp more than fifteen years
ago. This condition is not confined
to Montana; it is nationwide. Local
districts cannot keep up with the in
creasing population" Olsen contin-
