Scripture Quotation

Scripture Quotation
Blessed is every one who fears
the Lord, who walks in his
ways.
You shall eat the fruit Of the
labor of your hands;
You shall be happy, and it shall
be well with you.
Psalms 1873: 1, 2
Not often does the writer quote
scripture. But occasionally one
appeals to my ethical 1 hope)
mind. The above quotation and
the following verse fascinated
me. They are both taken from
a recent issue of our national
publication.
A Living Year
Another dying year has tolled
its knell;
It's daily joys and cares have
ceased; and though
We sorrow at the parting, still
we know
1t bids us say a silent, sad
farewell.
A year of life is like a blooming
flower
So transient in duration. Moments
gone,
Like withered roses, live no more.
Each dawn
Casts off the yesterdays last
lingering hour.
But buds appear when faded
blossoms fall,
And night is but the harbinger
of day;
And when one year relentless
slips away,
A new year fraught with chal-
lenge greets us all.
Arouse, my soul; with energy
sincere,
Await the duties of a living year.
Sadie Louise Miller
Our good years, like the bad
move relentlessly and memorable
to an end, but we always have
the thrill of greeting a new one
and looking into its rosy face for
a promise of all we yearned for
and didn't receive in the past.
And we have a feeling of expec-
fancy that the new year will
bring something new and mar
velous that man hadn't imagined
or learned that he could wrest
from the universe or pervail upon
it to yield.
Most of us do a little light
reminiscening at years end, and
some of us get darn mad because
of our failures, and then get
wrapped up in absurd promises
to ourselves which we have no
intention of keeping.

Mercurial Seed Treatments:
l. Ceresan M (active ingredient
Ethylmercury-p-toluene suffona-
nilide) is a dry mercury prepara-
ton. Two Foundations of Cere-
san NJ are available:
Ceresan M CIT percent active
ingredient) is designated for ap-
plication as a dry powder Dr. as
a slurry.
Ceresan MIX (15.4 percent
active ingredient) is designated
for application as a slurry in con-
junction with a duss control
additive.
Ceresan M is highly volatile
but its vapor will not control
wheat smut. 1t is usually recon-
mended to treat not less than "a
hours or more than 4 weeks
before sowing. Treated seed
should be stored in a dry we'll
ventilated place. Seed treated
with Ceresan M is not clearly
marked by color.
Q. Mema Ola percent Meth
oxyethylmercury acetate) is a
liquid mercury preparation.
The effect of Mema vapor on
wheat smut has not been deter
mined. It is also not known
whether a short storage period
increases the effectiveness of
Mema. Usually it is recommended
that seed should be treated about
a week before being sowed. 1t
should be stored in a well-venti-
lated place. Seed treated with
Mema is family marked with red
color.
3. Panogen (active Ingredient
Methylmercury dicyandiamide) is
a liquid mercury preparation.
Two Foundations of Panogen
arae available:
Panogen Is (2.2 percent active
ingredient) is designated for
application with a direct-type
treater.
Panogen AZ (6.3 percent active
ingredient) is designated for ap-
plication with the slurry-type
treater.
Panogen is highly volatile and its
vapor will control wheat smut
caused by seed-borne spores. 1t
is usually recommended to store
Panogen-treated seed at least 48
hours before sowing. Store treat
ed seed in a well-ventilated place.
Panogen treated seed is well
marked with a reddish dye.
All these mercurial compounds
are highly effective for seed
treatments against smut that
originate from seed-borne spores,
but they are not effective against
smut that originates from soil
borne spores.
Grain seed treated with these
chemicals usually will not be
injured by storage from one sea-
son to the next. However, such
seed should be tested for germin-
alton before being used. All these
chemicals may be toxic to grain
seed when used in overdoses.

SEED TREATMENT
OF CEREALS

Seed treatment of small grains
before planting will help to re-
duce losses caused by cereal
smuts and other seed-borne dis
eases. Various root rots also can
be greatly reduced by using seed
treatments. All seed to be treated
should first be carefully cleaned
and all weed seed, light grain
and debris removed. Well de-
veloped kernels produce better
and stronger plants more resistant
to disease than poorly developed
kernels.
The treatment of seed with a
recommended fungicide will
largely prevent sinking smut or
bunt of wheat, loose and covered
smut of oats and covered and
black semiloose smut of barley.
It will not control dwarf smut of
wheat nor loose smut of wheat
and barley. At the present time
none of the known seed treat
ments will control dwarf smut of
wheat. Dwarf smut of wheat con
be controlled by planting resis-
tant varieties of wheat. Loose
smut of wheat and barley al be
controlled only by the hot water
treatment. Seed treatment of
flax would largely prevent differ
ent seed-borne diseases of flax.
The following chemical seed
treatments can be recommended
for controlling the above men
toned diseases of cereals and flax
in Montana. These recommended
tons and particularly those for
wheat are largely based on results
obtained by c. S. Holton and l..
H. Purdy at the Reginal Smut
Research Laboratory at Pullman,
Washington. This laboratory con-
ducts and coordinates research
work on wheat smut between the

INCREASED INTEREST IN
LIVESTOCK FEEDING

This past week a bus load of
farmers and businessmen from
the Chinook, Montana are toured
several valley feedlots. The
Chinook area in the Milk River
Valley is an irrigated sugar beet
producing valley similar to ours,
but as yet has not gone into ex-
.ensive livestock feeding. The
interest shown by this and other
outside groups during u regular
Feeder Day program points to
the fact that there is likely to be
more competition in livestock
feeding in the future. In order
TO keep pace, we must employ the
very best techniques known to
produce fast, efficient gains.
Also, more care must be taken
in both buying and selling in the
future. The progress shown by
the livestock feeding industry
in the Lower Yellowstone Valley
will continue if the progressive
spirit of the Valley continues.
Indications are that livestock
feeding will continue to be one
of our main agricultural enter
prises and also a profitable one.

lie Is
Many homemakers today think
one detergent is the same as
another, but it isn't.
When considering a detergent
for the family wash, consider
whether it's built or unbuilt just
as you would a soap.
Unbuilt synthetic : detergent
products may contain only 80 to
40 percent detergent. In addi-
ton, they have from so to so
percent neutral salts, but no
alkaline salts. Sometimes they
contain a florescent-dye bright
ener.
Like unbuilt soaps, unbuilt
synthetic detergents are intend
ed for washing fine and lightly
soiled fabrics. Their efficiency
with heavy clothes is limited.
Because they are nonalkaline in
solution, they are safe for dyed
fabrics and for wool and silk
which an alkali might harm.
Built synthetic detergents, like
built soaps, contain alkaline salts
that increase their cleaning abil-
ity. These added salts make the
| products alkaline in solution.
Usually, the built synthetics con-
tain a fluorescent-dye brightener
and an additional product which
helps hold loosened dirt in sus-
pension.
Manufacturers recommend built
synthetics as general purpose
~detergents for washing heavily
soiled clothes.
Both high-sudsing and low
sudsing products are available.
The low-sudsing detergents are
produced especially for S in
automatic washers where high
suds interfere with mechanical
action.
CIGARETTE BURNS
Cigarette burns on furniture
are a constant source of irritation
to all of us. However, the damage
can be repaired without refinish-
ing the entire surface and here is
how:
First, gently scrape the charred
spot with a rounded, dull knife,
being careful not to scratch the
surrounding area.
Next, wrap No. 80 steel wool
tightly around the end Of an
orange stick or pencil with the
point removed. Rub the charred
spot gently with this implement.
Brush the spot to be, sure all the
charred powdery dust has been
removed.
II the spot Is shallow, color
and fill it with color-in-oil or a
ready mixed oil stain added to
sealer or varnish. Use a small
water color brush to apply the
material on the spot. Allow this
to dry slightly and feather out
the edges. Then apply several
layers or more as needed to fill
the depression. If the depression
is deep, fill with stick shellac the
same color as the wood. Last,
apply the type of finish to the
spot that was originally used over
the entoire surface. After the
new finish has cured, rub with
pumice and water to take off the
glaze.
This may seem like a lot of
trouble but it is not difficult and
you will be proud of the results.

Another rule is to grow meat
type hogs that produce the kind
of meat that is in demand by
housewives. Meat type hogs r
found in nearly every breed
Also, it's a good rule to give
some thought to your layout so
that buildings, equipment and
pasture are located conveniently.
Make use Of narrowing stalls and
get a good equipment to start
with.
Supply your bred sows with
good pastures. They not only cut
costs on feed but furnish vita
minis, minerals, protein and much
needed exercise.
Lastly, don't let your sows get
too fat during CESSATION. Fat
sows have a tendency to have
smaller 1itters. Also fat sows are
usually poor mixers and their
pigs are not as thrifty.
These are a few points In man

like a shipment of their more

were shipped here by State

who are in charge of the local
restocking program, the pleas
ants will be released in a live
fly-out pen at the Herr Bros.
farm, for further feeding and
care until late fall.
AS the birds become old
enough, they are permitted to fly
out of their pen and range over
surrounding farmlands.

AS Resignation
Deadline Nears

At least one new teacher for

being sought as the July 10 dead
line for teacher designations
approaches, superintendent of
schools A. B. Murray said this
week.
A high school mathematics and
social science teacher is still
needed for the fall term. An
other elementary school teacher
may be added, but this is not
certain, he said.
1--WE do not expect any of our
present staff to resign before the
July deadline," Mr.. Murray
added. Any designations turned
in after that date must have a
special acceptance by the school
board before the teacher can be
released from his contract.
Mr.. Murray said he has had
several applications for the posi-.
ton of office secretary and
school board clerk which is being
given up by Mrs. Vernal Corson.
No successor has been picked.
