enjoy raising a few of their own
table vegetables. The many
seed catalogues in the mail and
stores displaying garden seeds,
remind us that the time for gar
den seeding is near. Many
vegetable varieties which are
adaptable to Montana conditions
nave been greatly improved in
the last few years. Many of the
newly recommended varieties are
the results of trials conducted by
the Montana Agricultural Expert
ment Station and its branch sta
lions. One of the most important
factors in these better varieties is
the hybrid vigor which results in
improved yields through greater
plant vigor and uniformity.
AS a result of these trials, many
varieties have been found to have
superior qualities for home freez-
ing.
The most recent list of recon-
mended vegetable varieties for
Montana is available at the County
Extension Office in Montana Ex-
tension Service Circular Number

Mont. Republicans
TO Name Precinct
Worker OF Year

Helena - Mrs. Helen Johnson,
Bozeman, vice chairman of the
Montana Republican State Central
Committee today revealed plans
for Montana Republicans to name
the Precinct Worker of the Year"
Mrs. Johnson said, eve have
long felt the need to recognize
these folks who serve their party
on a precinct level. They are act
ually the people who win elections,
they serve long hours and work
hard and deserve this recognition"
The Republican vice chairman
outlined plans whereby each coun-
ty in the state would select the
County Precinct worker of the
year and submit his or her name
to the State Central Executive
Committee, who would then select
the outstanding worker of the
year. The winner will be awarded
a round trip airline ticket to
Washington, D. c., and a special
seat for the Presidential Inaug-
uration, plus $500 expenses. The
alternative prize is equivalent in
cash. Mrs. Johnson said the Pre-
cinct worker of the year would be
selected on a basis of points.

Early Beet Field
Irrigation Yields
Big Dividends

Dexter w. Lille, Holly Sugar
agriculturist headquartered at
Sidney, Montana, is a strong and
determined advocate of early ir-
rigation to speed up seed germina-
ton in sugar beet fields. He's got
funds of facts to prove early
irrigation achieves maximum re-
suits and big dividends at harvest
time.
In eastern Montana and north
ern Wyoming, Lille points out, ma
tural rainfall is too Spasmodic,
often coming at inopportune times,
and so cannot be considered an
asset for sugar beet production. AS
a matter of fact, Lille points out,
for those growers who watch the
clouds and wait days for rain, ma
tural rainfall becomes a liability.
It's been proven that a tWo-week
delay in irrigating has caused a
loss of tonnage to the extent of
2.29 tons per acre.
To put it simply according to
Lille, "irrigating for termination
eliminates the gueSSwork as to
whether or not there will be suf-
ficient moisture in the soil so seed
termination can take place."
When fields are irrigated early
in the spring, the upper soil struc-
lure becomes saturated to the
point where seeds can absorb the
necessary 80 per-cent-and-over OF
moisture which is needed, and a
free water film will still exist SO
the beet seed can make proper
termination.

ceive Holy Communion from
the hands of Baluba priests
for fear of being poisoned by
their own tribesmen."
THE FEAR OF i%ntertribal
revenge is embedded in their
hearts. Father Vande Welle,
however, was optimistic in
the matter of education or
at least he felt that the pros
poets for the Church educa-
tion-wise are brighter than
the prospects for the govern
ment. The Catholic clergy are
well-educated but there is a
frightful shortage of admin
istrators and technicians in
the government.
The Catholic Church can
make an immense contribu-
ton to the new Republic. In
the Congo it has some $50
African clergy ministering to
more than six million Catho-
lies. One of the factors that
will tend to weaken its con-
tribution is that the clergy
are children of their tribes
and in cases ofttribal conflict,
their loyalty to their own
tribes will make itself felt.
But the larger question is:
will Prime Minister Lumumba
welcome the Church's contri-
button to the new Congo?
Will he become an absolute
ruler who will resent the
Church's role in the new ma
ton?
The London Tablet June
25th) says in this connection:
"Some of Mr.. Lumumba's
rivals accuse him Of commu-
mist sympathies and it is GER
tain that if he were a card
carrying member of the party
his tactics would not be
noticeably different"

Surely, with the widespread
interest in the First Friday
devotion and Eucharistlc Holy
Hours, many readers would
welcome this book. Doubtless
there will not be many,
even though Father Dacheur
says he is writing a popular
treatise for our people.
THIS is TO BE regretted
if true, because the more we
know about Christ, the more
we should love Him.. And
through the encyclical of our
late Holy Father and the able
commentary Of Father Dach-
auer we should certainly know
Christ in His Sacred Heart
a great deal better.-GAF.
