With running eyes and red noses,
the ragweed victims plead for an
answer to their annual problem. Are
they doomed to suffer every summer
the misery of their allergy to this
plant Public Enemy?
There's no easy answer to the
question. Ragweed is being attacked
on three fronts: eradication of the
plant, immunizing shots for the suf-
ferer, research on the basic causes
of hypersensitivity.
Frankly, there's not much inn
mediate hope for eradication of rag
weed. Botanically, it's splendid
plant, beautifully adapted for surviv-
al. Communities have spent small
fortunes eradicating ragweed plants
only to have the next seasons pollen
count as high as ever. Ragweed is

mountain ranges, keep out air-borne
pollen. But suppose the victim can't
or doesn't want to pull up stakes :?
1t will help somewhat to pull up the
ragweed in his own backyard. Some
victims are helped by shots which
desensitize or immunize against pol
len. There are also nose drops and
pills which give relief. These, how
ever, should be taken only with the
advice Of a doctor.
Much more needs to be known
about the basic causes of allergies
that afflict more than 100000
Americans. Research is needed for
better methods of prevention and
treatment. Meantime, the sufferer
should follow his doctors advice for
the best means of getting through
the season with as little misery as
possible.

towns, and country. The light grains
of pollen are blown great distances
over land and water. Modern herbi-
cides kill the weeds effectively, but
the seeds can live in the soil for DO
years. Nationwide eradication efforts
would have to be repeated every year
for 40 years. At the end of such a
staggeringly expensive program the
ragweed might be gone, but so might
food plants and trees.
New developments in chemicals
which kill weed seeds in the soil

1855 Crop Wheat
Reseal Program
Announced

Montana farmers may now re-
seal until March 81, 1857 farm
stored 1855 = crop wheat present
ly under price support loan, Leo
S. Kolstad, State Agricultural Sta
bilization and Conservation adj
ministrative officer, has announ-
ced. They may also convert pur-
chase agreements on wheat held
in farm storage into price-support
loans for the extended period.
Kolstad explained that the pro-
gram is being announced now in
order to give farmers time to
plan and construct any additional
farm storage facilities needed to
reseal 1~955-crop grain and still
have space to handle 1855 crops.
The resealed wheat will be held
on the farm by the producer in
stead of being delivered to the
Commodity Credit Corporation at
the end of the original loan per-
iod on March 81, 1856. Commodi-
ties must be housed in satisfactory
storage to be eligible for reseal.
Other storage and quality re-
quirements will be the same as
for the regular 1855 loan program.
In addition, Rolstad emphasiz-
ed, resealed wheat must be of a

quality which will meet the Food
and Drug administration require
ments to become effective July /,
1856, relative to contamination OF
grain by birds, rodents, insects
and other vermin. Under these
standards wheat containing more
than one rodent pellet or al equal
amount of other communicating
filth per pint, OF percent or
more of insect damaged kernels
will be subject to condemnation
as unfit for human food purposes.
Storage payments in line with
Uniform Grain Storage agree
ment rates will be made on re-
sealed wheat. Farmers who hold
their wheat until March 81, 1857,
will receive a full storage pay
ment for the entire period. Farm
ers redeeming loans prior to ma
turity will receive storage pay
ments for the period beginning
so days after March 81, 1855, and
continuing through the time they
keep the commodity in storage as
loan security.
Farmers who desire to reseal
wheat, or convert purchase agree
ments into reseal loans, should
apply to their County ASC office
before March 81, 1855.

City Week Wins
Service Award

Farm-City Week, coordinated
in 1855 by Kiwanis clubs in the
United States and Canada, was
honored with a Distinguished Ser
vice Award at the annual awards
ceremony of the Freedoms Foun-
dalton in Valley Forge, Pennsyl-
vania, February 22nd. Farm-City

to this annual affair the Sidney
Kiwanis club always have anoth-
er farm program during the year
at which farmers are the honored
guests.
The Farm-City Week idea was
based on a statement contained in
President Eisenhower's Estate of
the Union" message of January Z,
1854: "The well-being Of our 160
million people demands a stable
and prosperous agriculture. Con-
versely, every farmer knows he
cannot prosper unless all Ameri-
ca prospers."

tional institutions, editorial
groups, trade and service organ
iZations, and governmental agen-

spreading the knowledge of con-
servation throughout the state and

The governor pointed out that
every citizen can do something
about conserving our natural re-

one else's business, it is the re-
sponsibility of each and everyone
Of us and it's good business.
He added that everyone can
practice conservation by observ-
ing good manners in the out-of-
doors, being careful with fires at
home and in the forests, by
keeping our roadsides, camps and
picnic areas free of litter and our
streams clean and free from pol
luton.
"But conservation is even more
than this" the governor said,
conservation is not just the
farmers job of blowing on the
contour, or the timberman to fol-
low good logging practices, it is
also the job of city jewellers to fix
the leaky faucet and to be less
wasteful of all things that come
