Dat Varieties Recommended

Oat varieties Recommended
Gopher, Mission, Rodney and
Gary are recommended oat vari-
cites. Gopher and Mission do pref
ty well on dryland. Rodney and
Garry do well under irrigation.
Gopher has been a CONSTANT top
producer under dryland conditions
for a number of years. 1t is sus-
ceptible to oat rusts. 1t is early
maturing, white kerneled, short
strawed with a satisfactory test
weight per bushel.
Mission has done well under
dryland conditions where rusts are
not a factor. 1t is a midseason
white kerneled, moderately smut
resistant variety, is medium tall
and lodges quite badly under ir-
rigation. Test weights per bushel
are usually high.
Rodney is a midseason oat with
resistance to common types of
oat stem rust, except n called
Ia. 1t is high in yield under ir-
rigation, and has a heavy test
weight, is medium tall and has
stiff lodge resistant straw. 1t is

Wool For Spring

Wool For Spring
Interesting textures in wool will
be found in the fabric depart
ments this spring. The knit effects,
the feel of worsteds, the pin
pricking weaves, as meshes and
open-work weaves, and the touch
of tweeds, softened and flattened
will all add interest to the home
makers sewing.
Patterns in the fabric will vary
from giant plaids and checks to
miniature patterns and splashy
prints on the most delicate of
woods.
Color, too, is inthe news with
its vivid oranges, shocking pinks,
bright reds, greens and blues,
which contrast sharply with the
whites and beiges.
Knits are at the peak of their
Importance. To achieve a hand
knit look, the rustic tweed is fire.
quently overstitched in a plated
or chair IT sweater stitch, some
times saddle-stitched. The news in
jersey knit lies in its firmer body
in coat and suiting weights, with
coatings sometimes ribbed or
corded and suitings knit in a petit
point texture or herringbone pat
tern.
The worsteds are firmer and
crisper. Dress crepes play a big
part in the worsted picture and
r lighter in weight.
The meshes and open weaves
r the very essence of spring in
that they dominate many of the
new spring woods.
The bigger-than-ever patterns
parade against predominately
white OF light backgrounds. The
lightweight printed woods are crisp
textured, yet drapable to take
care of spring fashions.
The brush-stroked printed woods
are different with their shatter-
ing oranges playing up to pinks,
pinks c-risscrossing with reds,
green's shimmering with blues,
d more VlVlo, interesting
pattern.
Texture and color in fabric both
have an exciting role in playing
up the new spring styles.
Moth Treatment
Wooden garments should be
freshly Numbered or d~rycleaned
and thoroughly brushed before
storing them. When brushing
them, make sure cuffs of sleeves
and trousers, pleats, seams, hens
and pockets are lint free. Since
there is always danger that moths
will crop up after precautions
have been taken, use of modern
insecticide control is a necessity.

creamy white In color, the kernels
are short, plump and wide. 1t has
proven to be exceptionally good
in this area.
Garry oats are also recommend
ed for grain production under ir-
rigation here. 1t is a midseason,
medium tall, lodge resistant oat
with resistance to common types
of stem rust and smut. Yields
have been higher under irriga-
ton than Bridger and Mission in
the presence of stem rust and
higher under irrigation than Bird
ger and Mission in the presence
of Victoria blight, a disease which
does affect Park oats severely.
Park is also listed in the 1858
oat variety list and is high in
yield. 1t is resistant to stem rust,
but is susceptible to races Ia and
8 and is susceptible to Victoria
blight here.
Flax Varieties
These remain the same as in
the past, with Redwood and Da-
kota prominent on the list.
Corn Varieties
Corn varieties have undergone
some revision this year following
the completion of another years
trials.
The following material has been
released by the Eastern Montana
Branch Experiment Station and
was furnished by Mr.. Leonard
Joppa, Agronomist.

that bill
Can't Recall Another
oldtimers at the Capitol can
not recall when a Congressional
committee ever held hearings
pro and con on the merits OF a
veto message. That Is appar-
entity what Senate Democratic
Leader johnson has IN mind.
He told the Senate yesterday
he has asked for the hearings
10 give both the President and
the people affected by both
vetoes q day In court.
Senator johnson said he be-
lieved the Presidents views
which led him 10 veto both
bills we're based upon a mis-
understanding OF the facts.
Defending the freeze Of farm
price supports. Senator john
son said the farmers do not OBJ
ject when other members OF
the cabinet do a good Job for
bankers. But he said farmers
feel "bewildered that the Sec
Rotary OF Agriculture should
have authority 10 force farm
prices lower when farm income
has already declined 81 per
cent since 1882"
Senator johnson dealt more
sharply with the veto OF the
river and harbor bill by draw
Inc a comparison between II
and foreign aid. He pointed out
that the President is asking for
$50 billion as against s2.7 bill
lion granted last year for for
eign aid. He recalled that some
Of this money goes for projects
In widely scattered places from
Afghanistan TO Western Europe
and that these projects ARE
not built according to specified
beneft-cost ratios. They are
not compelled TO meet stand
ards which we set for Amer
lean projects"
This was a dig at one OF the
objections the President raised
TO the river and harbor bill.
When Senator johnson de-
plored what he called q status
quo philoSophy-a policy Of let
ting things ride" in a general
reference TO the recession. he
drew a response from Senate
Republican Leader Knowland
OF California.
