/. Almost complete lack of rain
during the summer months Of 1860
has resulted in parched earth,
with little or no natural forage
for the livestock owned by Navajo
families.
Q. Unless help is forthcoming
from the United States Govern

ReseaI Grain
Payments To
Be Advanced

Grain storage payments approx
imating ST million will be made
to Montana farmers as soon as
possible after March l., Gaspard
w. Deschamps, Missoula, chair
man of the Montana State Agri-
cultural Sterilization and Con-
servation committee, said this
week. This advances. of earned
storage payments is a part of the
administrations plan to invigor-
ate the nations economy.
The advance payments will to-
tai almost $25 million nationally,
and will provide needed funds to
help producers meet spring plan
ting and other costs. Normally,
the entire storage payment is
made when the loan natures. This
advance - the half of the pay
ment which will be earned by
March l = is prompted by pres
ent economic conditions and the
cost-price squeeze on farmers.
The advance storage payment.
rate will be z cents per bushel.
Payments in Montana will be
made on resealed 1859 and 1858
crop wheat and barley and 1857
crop wheat. The other half of
storage payments farmers may
earn by storing the resealed grain
to loan maturity will be paid after
maturity dates - March 81 for
wheat and April 80 for barley.
Grain redeemed by the owner
prior to maturity earns a pro-
rated share of the storage pay
ment.
Deschamps pointed out that the
reseal program is designed to
keep grains on the farm. The
storage payments help defray the
costs of storing the grain. The
advance of a part of the storage
payment is expected to encourage
farmers to provide additional.
storage in areas where it may be
needed this year. Adequate stor'
age, both farm and commercial
makes possible farmer participa'
ton in the grain price supper
programs.

New Hybrid Gould
Corn GROWING

A new hybrid corn known as
Multi-ear has brought information
al attention to Milford, Illinois,
reports The Farm Quarterly.
DR.. Walter J. Mumm of the
Crow Hybrid Research Farm has
developed this remarkable plant
which could revolutionize corn
growing.
In looking to the future, scien-
lists are reaching back to the ORR
gins from which our corn sprang.
Multi-ear has been developed
from crosses with teosinte, a
large, grass-like annual, native
to Central America. Mostly it
grows wild.
Some 5000 years ago, our own
corn came from the same area,
oeing passed northward by The
Indians from tribe to tribe.
Teosinte grows in clumps, 5
to 10 feet high, with many stems
at the base from a single seed
like a giant orchard grass. 1t does
not have cobs. Seed is horne all
over the plant, strung together
from a small stem like upright
link Sausages.
Teosinte-corn crosses have been
tried repeatedly for various rea-
sons. 1t was done in the 1905
in Texas in an effort to increase
drought-resistance.
DR.. Mumm has produced two
types of teosinte crosses. The frs
has semi-dwarf characteristics, in.
tended as a combine corn. Tn,
second, intended as a silage corr
has extra leafiness. Both are mul
ti-eared and both tiIler. The,
carry about 10 per cent teosint
breeding.

Health For All
PNEUMONIA

Since the widespread use of
antibioticS, some people tend to
regard pneumonia as in the same
class with a hangnail - uncom-
Portable but hardly dangerous. The
fact is, however, that pneumonia
is still a serious illness which
cannot always be cured. There
are about $4,000 deaths from pneu-
monia every year and it ranks
fifth as a cause of death from
disease.
You can get pneumonia from a
chest injury or from breathing in
some harmful substance, like gas
or smoke. But the most common
kind of pneumonia is caused by
a germ, the pneumococcus. Pneu-
monia can strike at any time, but
it is most prevalent in late Febru-
airy and early March. 1t frequently
follows a bad attack of the flu
or a heavy cold, when the victims
resistance is low.
The symptoms of pneumonia are
fever. shortness of breath, pain ir
the chest and a nagging, persisten-
cough. Modern antibiotics can cure
many cases of pneumonia in abou'
a week. But despite antibiotics
pneumonia often kills the very
young, the elderly, people suffer
ing from some other ~weakenin!
disease, and anyone who lets thi
disease get far advanced befor'
seeking medical help.
Anyone who has a bad cold o
an attack of flu which is still &C
companied by fever three days, 0
where there is shortness of breatl
and constant coughing, may hav
pneumonia and should go to +
|. doctor without further delay.

increased fertilization is promot-
ing a tall, vegetatve growth that
is not only wasteful of nutrients
but gives added harvesting diff
culties. We need a short-growing,
early-maturing, high yielding
corn that is adapted to combining,
that will Withstand thick, narrow
row planting, and high fertiliza-
ton and chemical control without
cultivation, yet, can adjust itself
to seasonal variations. Multi-ear
definitely seems to point the way.

HIGHER EDUCATION
Why should 1 continue my edu-
cation past high school? This is
a question many seniors ask
themselves every year., but stu
dents should begin to consider
higher education long before their
senior year. If they plan to x
tend their education, they can
take the special subjects required
for college.
To-Day If a person has a high
school diploma, he can find a
fair paying job but not much
chance of securing a higher po-
sition. Employers usually inter-
view and select applicants with a
college diploma for higher paying
JOS ana chances for advance
ment.
A person must have SPECIAL
training and higher education to
SAASO1 q SPCCAI4C p1O1SSSlOH SUCH
as medicine, law, or education.
mat training cannot be acquired
IN nigh school. 1t would certainly
be a sad story if our doctors and
lawyers practiced their profess
sion with just a high school edu-
cation.
Many people who study col
lege foreign languages often have
chances to see the world or work
Ior government agencies interpre-
ting the different languages.
Higher education gives persona.
satisfaction to a person. One car
hardly appreciate his life and en-.
vironment if he has no knowledge
of it.
1tnese are just a few of tn,
many reasons why we SHOULD
extend our education beyond higl
ScnOol. Ii n neglects to furthe
his education, l truly feel tina
someday he will regret it.
