C~onestoga Wagon
First To Take
Riqht Side Of Road

Ever wonder, as you drive along
in the right-hand lane, why Bri-
tons and other English-speaking
peoples keep to the left while driv-
ing? And further, why America,
originally an English colony,
switched from the left to the right
side of the street?
Responsible for this right-sided
right-of-way was the Conestoga
wagon, the most famous vehicle
of the 160O's. These broad-wheeled
covered wagons, tagged by con-
temporaries as prairie schooners,"
moved American frontiers west
ward along roads that were alter
nately muddy or dusty, depend
ing on the previous days weather.
The Conestoga wagon had to be
guided from the left, and the
drivers, in order to get a clear
view of the road ahead, took to
the right side of the road, thus
starting the trend. Drivers of other
vehicles found it easier to follow in
the deep tracks made by these
heavy freight carriers, and soon
everyone was doing it. New Jersey
was the first state to make driving
on the right mandatory for all We
hicles by passing a law to that
effect in 1918
AS to why the English drive
contrary to the rest of the world
legend has it that it was to keep
the backswing of the drivers
buggy whip from bloodying the
noses of his passengers BY driv-
ing on the left, and seated on the
right side of the open carriages,
the whip could fly freely to the
side preventing many painful mis-
haps
Modes of locomotion have
always dictated rules of the road,
and sometimes ever the very exist
ence or character of the roads
themselves, since the invention OF
the wheel. Back in 1900 Be, for
example, Babylonan stone masons
designed their roads to suit their
transportation facilities They laid
two parallel rows of worked stone
far enough apart to accommodate
the oxcarts of the day, which had
wheels spaced five feet apart
Today road construction is also
cued to the character of cars,
trucks and buses. AS their num-
bers increase, roads r revamped
and new ones built to take car of
the changes. More road travel
than ever before, heavier
increased horsepower and
greater speeds indicate %sturdier,
surfaces with more
and additional safety pre-
cautions engineered into them.
AS we drive along in the right
hand lane in our latest-model mir
acle machine, we can only guess
what the roads, and rules, Of the
will be. With the announce
ment of a car designed to move
along on a cushion of air instead
Of on wheels, we imagine road en-
gineers are already giving some
high flown thinking to the subject.

New Law Eases
Rules For Korea
Vet Traininq

Korean CT Bill veteran-students
have been given more liberia.
rights to pursue advanced train
ing under a law signed last month
by the President, Veterans Admin
istration said today
The Korean CT Bill allows a vet
eran to change his course Of study
! Just once-no more The new law
gives a liberalized definition of
lust what is meant by a change-of-
| course
Under this law public Law
86-15O), q veteran now may move
from one CT course to another
where the first "is prerequisite to,
or generally required for" the Sec
ond-without being charged with
his one-and-only change of course.
For example, a veteran may set
out in CT training with the objec-
tive of getting an ABB degree. Later
he decides he wants to become q
lawyer. Now, he may switch to
law studies, without it counting as
q course change. The reason is
that his work toward his AB de-
gree "is prerequisite to" his study
Of law.
Before the new law was enacted,
the VA had no choice but to charge
a veteran with a change of course,
even if his first course of study
was prerequisite to his second.
Then, if the veteran wanted to
change again, he could not; he had
used up his right to a single
change.

farmers with this service. The
price of the analysis will remain
the same. The general analysis
for which a $3.50 charge is made
consists of acidity, conductivity,
organic matter, phosphate and lime
determinations. Water samples
will be checked for quality for
irrigation. Water for human and
animal consumption Will need to
be sent to the Department of
Health in Helena, Montana. Water
samples should be representative
of that which will be used but
should not contain over one pint

This should be a step toward
more efficient service for Mon

DRYLAND CROP PROSPECTS
DECLINE

Montana's spring wheat forecast
dropped 3.5 million bushels during
August as a result of continued
warm, dry weather and depleted
soil moisture. Oats and flax-seed,
grown principally on dryland,
we're also adversely affected.
Wheat: An all wheat crop of
1911 million bushels is now indi-
Gated for 1859. This would be the
smallest all wheat crop since
1949. 1t will be 81 percent smaller
than last years output of 1910
million bushels and II percent
under the 1948-57 average. The
reduction in spring wheat was due
to a lower yield per acre. The
winter wheat crop vas last esti-
mated August l at AIS million
bushels. 80 percent under last
years record crop, but exceeded
only the 1855 and 1857 crops in
addition to the 1858 crop. The
durum forecast of 1T million
bushels, unchanged from August
/, is double last years harvest, but
considerably below the three pre-
vious years.
Barley: Although more acreage
was seeded this year, the barley
crop is estimated at 46.l million
bushels, 80 million bushels under
last years record crop. Yields per
acre in several major producing
north central counties are much
below the extremely high yields
obtained last year.
Hay: A total hay crop of 2.8
million tons remains the same as
on August /. 1t is S percent under
last years crop, but 6 percent
more than the 1948-57 average.

PLANT TROUBLES

Death losses of cattle as a result
of plant poisoning have been COM
mon this year. In investigating
few of these losses, we found thai
the cattle were grazing fresh
pastures along creek bottoms and
stubble fields. 1t appears as
though plants belonging to the
milkweed family are causing the
trouble, with snowy milkweed and
white swallow wort both being
prevalent in the pastures where
poisoning occurred. The tops and
pods OF these plants were eaten by
the cattle and, according to litera-
ture ON the subject, 1t only takes
a small amount to kill livestock
as these plants have exceedingly
poisonous properties.
Ordinarily, cattle will not con-
sumo milkweed but evidently
there is something about the plant
that they like this time OF year.
If you anticipate turning cattle
into a fresh pasture, it might be
well to investigate whether II not
milkweeds are prevalent. A hard
frost will usually dry the milk
weed up where they will not be so
likely consumed by cattle. In pas
lures where troubles might occur,
it might be besc then to delay
grazing until later in the season.
GAS TAX REFUNDS
The deadline date for filing
claims for refund of federal taxes
on gasoline used on the farm is
fast approaching. They must be
filed with the District Director of
Internal Revenue on Form 2240
not later than September 80. This
is for all gasoline used on the
farm between July 1, 1858 and
June 80, 1859.
Sufficient records should be
kept to verify accuracy of the re-
funds claimed. These records
should show dates of purchase,
gallons purchased, and gallons
used on the farm for farming pur-
poses.
All farmers and ranchers who
claimed the refund last year
should have received Form 2240
by mail from the Internal Rev.
enue Service. In case you mislaid
your form or are filing for the first
time, we have a supply OF Form
224O at the County Extension
Office for your convenience.

Anti-Red Drive
Pressed in Iralq

o BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 80
(AP). - Iraqi Premier Abdel
Karin Kassem carried his cam
paign to contain communism
in his country two steps farther
yesterday.
Without mentioning themoby
name, he accused the Reds Of
planning simultaneous upris-
ings in all major Iraqi cities on
July IA, the anniversary of the
Iraqi revolution. The only
trouble developed in Kirkuk on
= July is, and the army put 1t
down.
The Kassem government also
ordered members of the Popu-
lar Resistance Force. a Com
munist-dominated militia, not
to wear their uniforms and
said the forces duties had
been abolished. y
ActrOcties Described
Radio Baghdad said the Pre-
mier told a news conference in
the Iraqi capital that the re-
volt was limited to Kirkuk only
because the army was able to
suppress trouble elsewhere be-
fore it could begin.
las from today, no such up
risingS will occur again." the
premier said. I'VE have enough
force to crush them all"
Displaying photographs of
atrocities, he said attackers in
the oil center $50 miles north Of
Baghdad buried some persons
alive they were killing
people and dragging them along
the streets"
He blamed the leftiSt press,
saying those newspaper and
Communist front organizations
caused the chaos in which the
country finds itself"
Maj. Gen. Ahmed Saleh ell
Tbdi, the Iraqi governor gen.
eral, announced that anyone
wearing the popular resistance
force uniform would be arrested
and would be subject to three
months Imprisonment or a q!
dinar ($140) fine.
Reds Are Target
Premier Kassem said he is
fighting particular individuals
guilty of particular action" and
not any political party as such.
But he made clear the Com
muniStS were his target by de-
scribing them as: Those con-
stantly talking of plots; those
who claim democratic forces
are being prosecuted; those who
work for a particular party in
Steao OF the country as a
whole.
Any syndicate or union which
violates its true function will
be dissolved, he warned. Own
erS OF some newspapers that
continue their present policies
will be brought to justice, he
continued.
He also told newspaper edi-
tors to cease attacking Western
countries. The Premier said
he is a friend of Western as
well as of socialist countries"
and newspapers should stop
attacking the friends of Iraq.
