psychology: "a consumer psy-

self. I've fallen into the trap
Of taking good times for
granted. Maybe these men
are right and we're beginning
a real crackup. not just a mild
leveling-off."

All yesterday, these thoughts
ran through my mind. Then
last evening what I fervently
trust is reason reasserted itself,
I settled down with the statis-
tics and began to think on my
own once more.
This Is a crackup?
Steel production is now edg-
ing up after the normal sea-
sonal letdown and there are in
creasing signs that steel output
this year may match or even
top the all-time record Of lit

compared favorably in quality with the
large-type Hereford steers = though they
would not have graded as high on the hoof
or in the carcass as the large-type Here
fords.
The Longhorns were extremely slow in
growth rate, largely because they didn't eat
the amount of feed required for rapid
growth.
The slow-growing, small-type Hereford
carcasSes were over-fat at 1000 pounds,
while the slow-growing Longhorn carcasses
were still under-finished for best eating
quality.
This report is of particular interest to
Montana and Wyoming cattle growers be-
cause most of the feeder stock produced
here is of the large-type which made the
most favorable showing in the Iowa dem

A Lid ON Soil Moisture?

among the principal methods used in this
region.
Scientists are experimenting with other
water conserving ideas. The one used by the
Australians is a result of such research.
Other experimental work is under way in
the hope of finding an economical chemical
which will let rainfall percolate into the soil
but will slow up its return trip by retarding
evaporation.
Seemingly more difficult problems than
this have been solved in scientific labora-
tories. So perhaps some chemist will even
tually pull this great secret out of test
tube.
1t is estimated that only about 20 per cent
of the water that falls on summer-tilled land
in this part of the country is held for plant
use. If this could be increased to even 30
per cent it would, needless to say, add
greatly to acre yields-and also to the
surplus problem.

Growth Rate and Carcass Quality

TO WHAT EXTENT is carcass quality of
beef cattle related to productive perform
ance? That's what study conducted at the
Iowa Experiment Station was designed to
answer.
A feeding trial with large and small-type
Herefords, HolSteins and Longhorn steers
has been completed to gain information on
this subject. The Iowa livestock specialists
report that the steers were placed on full
feed as calves weighing about $50 pounds.
The trial was completed for each steer as he
reached 1000 pounds live-weight.
The large-type Hereford steers gained
much more rapidly and had a higher per-
centage of edible meat than the small-type
steers. The Holstein steers were intermedi-
ate in growth rate and had carcasses which

WATER is BECOMING SCARCER in re-
1ation to human needs, and therefore more
precious, all over the world. This is par
ticularly true in regions of limited rainfall
In Australia, for instance, water loss
through evaporation from reservoirs has al
ways been serious problem. Now the Aus
tralians are beginning to make extensive use
of chemical product that in effect puts
lid on lakes and reservoirs.
The chemical is cetyl alcohol. This wax
like material spreads out like an oil film and
stops evaporation. incidentally, it is both
tasteless and harmless to human beings and
livestock.
Here in Montana and northern Wyoming
we have learned to conserve water in var
ious ways. Summer tillage, terracing con-
tour tillage, livestock reservoirs, lining of
irrigation bitches and use of windbreaks are
