Chou Outlines
Tighter China

TOKYO, Aug. Is (AP).-A
program of more work. tighter
austerity, and a breakdown on
anyone who steps out Of line
was set forth yesterday by Red
China'S Premier Chou En-lai.
Mr.. Chou outlined the pro-
gram in q speech before the
supreme state conference called
by President Liu Shao-chi. The
speech, reported by Radio Pei
ping, contained a review Of the
national economic plan for the
first half of the year.
Mr.. Chou proposed the task
of exerting the utmost efforts
to go forward opposing right
conservatism and increasing
production and practicing
economy" the radio said.
The reference to right con-
servatism was apparently aimed
at opposition to Communist
Party Boss Mao Tse-tung's
commune program. Mr.. Chou's
report was unanimously in
dorsed by the conference, the
radio said.
"They expressed unanimous
support for the call Of the
Communist Party's Central
Committee that the people Of
all nationalities throughout the
country launch a vigorous cam
paign for increasing produc-
ton and practicing economy on
q more extensive and thorough
going scale in industry, agricul-
ture, transportation and other
fields of work and achieve
q continued leap forward in
the national economy in 1859"

Soils and Crops
Quality Winter Wheat Reputation
Being Re-established in State
By RALPH D. MERCER

ALONG ABOUT the time Montana
was shaking and quaking, there ap-
peared in the press an announcement
that probably received very little no
tice. Tt concerned the passing OF Big
Medicine. the albino buffalo that was
dropped, lived, and died on the Ma
tional Bison Range at Moiese in north
western Montana.
During his % years he created much
interest among all people. He was
held sacred by the Indian tribes in that
area of Montana, and they were lrl-
strumental in his remaining on this
range. He was photographed more often
than any other single wild animal in
this region and he was show animal
if there ever was one.
All this was probably due to his being
different from other buffalo. He looked
the same and acted the same, but he
was different in that he was white.
except for a crown of black between
his horns that had the appearance of
a derby hat.
He was magnificent. His death has
taken something that was grand from
the main herd.
Winter Wheat Survey
Montana wheat can be very well
placed in the same category. When you
take that extra quality out of Montana
wheat, then you take the top usefulness
out of a lot of other wheat produced
in the United States. For, you see,
Montana wheat is used in blending with
other wheats in milling to increase the
strength of the resulting flour.
Our varieties must have the capacity
to produce strong flour, but the ulti-
mate good in the flour depends on our
climate and our endeavor to keep
mechanical purity in varieties of salts
factory baking quality.
AS is we'll known, we hit bottom on
baking quality in Montana winter
wheat, when in 1855, 56 per cent of our
production was of varieties that were
unsatisfactory to the baking trade.
Starting from that point the producers
of winter wheat have done magnifi-
cent job in bringing the quality of winter
wheat back to point where the picture
is less hopeless.
Smut TnfestatiOn
Surveys have been conducted the last
two falls to see just how we were COM
ing, and where we were going with the
quality problem. In the survey taken
in the fall of 1858 on the winter wheat
planted for the 1859 crop, it was found
that 33 per cent of the acreage for the
Montana farmer-stockman., 1959-12-15

state had been Seedeu 10 WaSaCcn IN
the western area and Y0go in the east
ern area.
A severe infestation Of dwarf smut in
the western area hit Wasatch harder
than it did Westmont, and the heavy
winter loss in the fringe areas last win
ter reduced the harvested acres in
those areas where the percentage Of
Yogo was the highest. In these areas
nearly all paintings of all varieties of
winter wheat dried out. Thus, the total
production was concentrated in the
areas with a high incidence of accepta-
BILE varieties and reduced the percent
age of production with unacceptable
varieties.
The survey taken this fall Of acres
of winter wheat planted for harvset in
1860 indicates that there was a further
reduction in the planting of unaccepta-
BILE varieties. For the entire state the
figures show that 10 per cent of the
acreage seeded this fall went into the
unaccepted varieties.
Except for four fringe counties where
the winter wheat acreage is small, the
survey showed the following per-
centages of unacceptable varieties
seeded in the various sections of Nom
tana:
Northern, 221 per cent; central, IL
per cent southern, 9.8 per cent; north
aoo&o~w~ sHo~ oou%s xz0~%Ezxx,oc%o~x4
1913 per cent; southwestern, Is per
cent.
State Average
The large part of the acreage is
concentrated in the northern, central,
and southern areas. AS this percentage
is fairly low in these areas, it tends
to reduce the state average down to
1910 per cent. In the larger producing
wheat counties in the western area the
situation is good, but the normal pro-
cedure in some counties is to grow
white wheat for feed This was charged
against the western area.
By the fall of 1860, there should be
enough acreage of Itana and RegO
planted for the 1861 crop to have
definite bearing on the acreage of ac-
ceptable varieties.
For the first time in five years, Mon
tana's winter wheat was sought by the
milling trade. Previously this class of
wheat would have gone begging, had it
not been for an export outlet. 1t is nice
to know that there has been this
progress made in short time
This Improvement was noted in the
recent meeting of the Montana Wheat
Quality Council There it was indicated
that carload lots of Montana winter
wheat have sold this fall at premium
of to II cents per bushel.
With the noted Improvement. how
ever, came the warning that there is
still much to be accomplished to place
Montana wheat in the position it for
merly held.
Mixtures
The quality problem is not entirely
tied-up with the reaction of different
varieties to milling. Several cases we're
mentioned where carloads of grain were
SO badly mixed that they failed to re-
semble the variety bought. This kind

Butler Blasts
Contract Loss
On Jet-Props

West Coast contractors have
dangerously "hypnotized" the
Defense Department to the
detriment of Maryland, Sena-
tor Butler, Republican Of
Maryland, charged yesterday.
The senator denounced as
"inexplicable" action by House,
Senate conferees who Thurs
day disapproved an Sill million
appropriation which would
have enabled the Air Force to
buy jet-prop transports from
the Fairchild aircraft plant in
Hagerstown.
Blow at Economy
He labeled their refusal Of
funds another blow at the
company and the economy Of
HagerStown which has been hit
by cancellation of defense con-
tracts.
"This refusal of a potential
Maryland contract is the latest
evidence of a curious and dis
turbing pattern, Mr.. Butler
said in a prepared statement.
1t seems that military con-
tractors and chambers of COM
merce of the West Coast have
SO hypnotized the Department
of Defense and several of the
ranking members of the House
Appropriations Committee that
consideration of any other re-
gion or state in this country
is seldom if ever attempted"
Hits Regional Preference
Mr.. Butler declared that CEN
tralization of missile and air.
craft production is dangerous
to national defense and severely
harms the economy of the East
Coast.
The Air Force had hoped to
buy 10 of the F-27 prophets
to replace CATS. the old COM
mercial DC-3S.
Apparently the sole deficien-
cy of this high-performance
aircraft is that it is not built
in California" Mr.. Butler said.

Monkeys Recovered In Good Shape
 After lO,OOO-m. p.h. Outer Space Ride

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla, LR - Two monkeys returned alive yes terday from a space ride in the nose cone of an Army missile.
 The Army announced that both monkeys were recovered alive from compartments in the nose cone of a Jupiter missile fired from Cape Canaveral. The rocket had climbed to an altitude of 300 miles and flown at speeds up to 10000 m.p.h.
 The little female monkeys named Able and Baker are the first living creatures the United States has hurled into the farther reaches and brought back alive.
 The Russians claim to have brought back two dogs by para chute last August from a ride 281 miles out. And the U. S. Air Force in 1853 recovered two monkeys after firing them some 40 miles high over New Mexico.
 The feat represents a major break through in the U. s. effort to put a man into orbital flight.
 Scientists safc- instruments at tached to the monkeys showed they suffered little ill effect from the stresses of blast-off and the weird experience of weightless- ness.
 Only the bare announcement that the monkeys survived was contained in the initial report re- ceived by the Army from Navy ship which recovered the nose cone This was near the Island of Antigua 92 minutes after the Ju- piter was fired.
 Both animals are alive and perfect with no injuries" the Ar my announced 612 hours after the launching.
The Nome nugget., 1959-05-29

One important Scientific check failed because of telemetry diff culties.
 Able had been trained in re- sponse tests to push a telegraph key at the flash of a red light in her capsule.
 The light was set to blink once each second during the flight. Medical scientists said Able be- came very proficient, in training at responding.
 The scientists especially wanted to know how she responded in the period of weightlessness. That would be important in relation to what might be expected of men released from the gravitational pull of the earth.
 Instruments did record and re- lay information on heartbeat and breathing rate.
 The monkeys were hurled aloft at the tip of an Army Jupiter rocket at 2:35 am The nose cone was recovered from the water near Antigua Island at 4:08 am. by Navy ship. Their 10000 m.p.h. journey into space took IS minutes.

Three Alaska RR Workers Killed by Runaway Dinkey

ANCHORAGE, LR Three Alaska Railroad employees were killed yesterday when they were struck by a runaway personnel carrier, speeder, on bridge 24 miles north of Anchorage.
 The three men who died in the mishap were identified as Carl Owens, 55, Seward; Nels Bysheim, 60, and Ben Larsen, 62, both of whom lived in work camps oper- ated by the railroad. All were longtime Alaska Railroad en- ployes
 Railroad officials said the three men, members of a bridge and building crew, apparently were unable to hear the approaching vehicle over the noise of an air compressor.
