seek the Hampden supervisor seat,
vacated by Edward A. Carter, who
recently announced he would not
seek reelection because of his
health. The Hampden seat is the

Three Questions Asked
The two candidates were con

this reporter The questions center
on the largest problem ever to arise
in the county-the public school
crisis. The three questions we're:
u Do you agree or disagree with
the fund cutoff plan as adopted by
the board of supervisors? q What
procedure will you recommend and
what position will you take in future
situations regarding school integra-
ton in Prince Edward county? -
In general terms state any local
legislation you intend to seek for
the be eft Of Prince Edward
county.
Joseph A. Hines, who entered the
contest in early October, said in
answer to the fund cutoff ques-
ti0n"I realize that the board of
supervisors were legally advised on
the fund cutoff plan, am 100 per
cent in agreement with their action,
and believe this action expresses
the will Of the majority Of the citi-
zens in our district"
Pickett's Answer
Charles B. Pickett. who entered
the contest in July after t h G
Democratic Primary as an hide
pendent candidate, expressed him
self in the following manner on the

situation, as l have been given to
understand them, cause me to be
in full agreement with the fund cut
off plan
4 Pickett said in regard to future
/ situations regarding school integra-
ton in the county, Having at heart
! the welfare of both races and be-
lieving sincerely that segregation of
the races in the schools in this
4 area is for the best interests of both
the colored and the white, shall
do everything l can to prevent
school indignation in Prince Ed
ward County"
\ Hines in answer to the second
Y question said, II think the county
/ is on the right road and I will do
every ing in my power to
\ strengthen that position think the
tuition grant program may be help
full. and believe it should be

Hines Answer
To the question in regard to any
local legislation he might seek for
the benefit Of the county. Hines said,
If elected, I intend to use. every
honorable means within my power
for the advancement Of my county,
and particularly my district"

Peery admitted that proper study

Peery reminded farmers that in

CATTLE FLY CONTROL


This is the time of year when
bloodsucking insects such as the
horsefly cause untold loss to the
cattle industry. If insects such
as the horsefly II not controlled,
the animals lose weight and con-
dition and milk production is
greatly reduced.
Here in Richland County two
common methods are used in fly
control. A few ranchers make a
practice of spraying every few
weeks and this is without a doubt
the most effective method. An
other method which is nearly as
effective and much more con-
venient is the use of self-treating
devices. Tho curiosity of live
stock and their frequently itchy
hides are the traits which make
the livestock rubbing devices so
successful.
AS the SELF treating devices are
SO popular in fly control, we
should perhaps go into a few
ideas which will help to make
this method more effective. First
OF all, locating the device in the
proper place will certainly deter
mine whether this method will
succeed or fail. Probably the
best location will be in the area
where the animals do their loaf
Ing. This is usually a sunny spot
near the feed racks, salt or water
supply. In some cases it may be
necessary to relocate the rubber
several times if the animals are
not making full use of it. AS for
the construction, both homemade
and commercially made treating
devices have proved satisfactory.
The most important thing is whe-
Their or not the animals are using
it and receiving an adequate
amount of insecticide. dot,
Methoxychlor, toxaphene, and
malathion all qualify as good in
secticides. You a mix the en-
Unstable concentrates of these
chemicals with fuel oil, or buy
them in mixed foundations. Do
not use crankcase or lubricating
oil and do not use the above in
secticides on dairy cows or
animals to be slaughtered within
80 days.
For further information on self
treating devices for cattle lice and
fly control, we suggest you drop
in to the office and pick up Leaf
let 1907, entitled "Cattle Delouse
Themselves. This Montana State
College leaflet gives a good dia-
gram for homemade se~lf-treating
back rubbers.

GOOD GRAZING
PRACTICES PAY

First, a suggestion Tor range
operators.
From now on through July is
the time when your livestock
make the greatest gains on range
since the range plants at this time
furnish the most nourishing feed.
But, have you stopped to consider
that this is also the time when
the perennial range plants are
storing food in their roots and
crowns so they can live through
the winter. To store food in the
roots the plants must have green
leaves to manufacture the growth
substances and this is where good

IlavsA1ng With the
COUNTY AGENTS

grazing practices enter the picture
Range scientists have founc
that range plants car be fattenec
or starved Just as the cattle Oh
sheep that make use of the range
A range plant in "fat' condition
has good root development and
is storing food for future use
On the other hand, a starved
plant has poor root development
and is not storing food. The key
to whether a plant is "fat" on
starved" is the amount of leaf
surface available for the manu-
facture of food for current growth
and storage of food in the roots.
A range plant can be starved
when grazing animals take off
too much OF the leaves.
So the idea of modern grazing
practice is to keep range plants
In fiat" condition and this is often
expressed by the phrase 'take
half and leave half. In other
words, try to let the plants keep
enough green leaves to make cur
rent growth and store plant food
in the root system to start growth
the following spring. When you
adjust stocking rates so as to
leave half of the annual forage
crop, you are not wasting feed but
improving the condition of your
range. Remember, it takes grass
to make grass.
CHECK GRAIN STORAGE NOW
While we have not said much
about it in recent months, the
clean grain campaign is still very
active and the federal Food and
Drug Administration is c~ontinu-
ing to enforce its regulations on
grain contamination.
OF curse a clean granary is
necessary to start with and the
between now and harvest
time offers a good opportunity to
get your grain storage facilities
ready for the new crop. Delaying
the job until harvest time means
that it's a pretty good bet that
the job will not be done at all.
SO, l suggest that you clean
your granaries throughly now to
get rid of all traces of old grain,
and dust. Then inspect
carefully to locate places where
rodents or birds might gain entry.
AS you no doubt know, the major
source of grain contamination in
Montana is mice and a few other
rodents. Birds are the next most
common cause of contamination.
means hat granary doors
must be tight fitting and that all
and ventilators need to
De tightly covered with Green or
hardware cloth. Check, too, for
where moisture might
enter the granary.
After you clean up the inside
you can continue the job on the
outside. Vegetable growth and
rash around a granary make a
haven for rodents. As a rule, ro-
tents will not move unless they
ire protected by heavy cover So
most cases a bare area of
bout ten feet out around the
building will keep down the
movement of mice or other ro-
tents into a granary.
You won't have to worry much

lave your granary in good repair

ICE CREAM
What happens to commercial
ice cream in home freezers wa.
recently the basis for research by
the Minnesota Experiment Sta
ton.
The Minnesota studies showed
that a uniformly low temperature
of 20 degrees F. cause changes
in ice cream to occur very Slow
ly. But at higher temperatures,
such as are common in home
freezers or freezer cabinets, chan
geS are more rapid and ice cream
should not be kept so long. Ups
and downs in temperature, espe-
cially if they are above zero F..
cause ice cream to lose its
smoothness and become coarse or
icy in texture. Packaging counts,
too, in how long ice cream holds
its best quality. Unless it is
~packaged in Observation-Disclosures
tant containers, ice cream will
dry out enough to shrink away
from the side of the c~ontainer
or down from the top.
The Station advises home free
ger owners that ice cream can be
stored satisfactorily for about
one month in the home freezer if
(1) it is firmly frozen and is
protected from melting in trans
ferring from the store to the home
freezer; (2) if it is stored at uni
form temperature to zero F. or
below.
When using only part of a
carton, the report advises, make
sure to return the unused ice
cream to the freezer before any
of it thaws.
Ice cream that sells in ordinary
waxed cardboard cartons will
keep its quality longer in home
~freezers if the carton is given an
overwrap of heavy foil or other
freezer wrap.
NUTRITION
In grandmother's day the fam
lily was considered well fed when
no n got up from the table
feeling hungry. But today the
emphasis is on the kind of food
they eat, not the amount.
And within the last year, a
change from the Basic Seven
food groups to the Basic Four has
been made to help us remember
what the dietary needs of the
family are. Included in this Basic
Four are milk, meat vegetables,
and fruits, and the bread-cereal
group.
Everyone needs 2 servings in
the meat group, 4 or more serv-
ings in the vegetables and fruits
group Gone should be rich in
vitamin c., 4 or more servings
in the bread-cereal group, and
an adult should have at least 2
cups of milk. For children, the
amount of milk is doubled.
To make certain that the fam
lily gets the required nutrients,
plan your meals a week at a time.
You'll also save shopping and
cooking time, save on your food
budget, and make good use of
leftovers.
