Experiment Station in coopera-

only with Short-term or inter

remembered that the Montana
Noxious Weed law clearly states
that all perennial weeds must be
controlled in a good manner. 1t
is for our own good. 1t does cost
money to control weeds, but that
cost brings more return than is
realized. Try it and you will see.
Bids were opened for chemical
the first of May. A bid of $2.195
per gallon was accepted. The
amount of chemical was $500
gallons. 1t will be used during
this season.
There has always been a mis-
understanding in the phraseology
of the different classifications of
Weed District personnel. l auto
matically received the classified
ton of weed supervisor, but &C
cording to law, it is misused. Our
three members of the board are
called supervisors. To avoid con-
flicting classifications, l was re-
classified as superintendent of the
Weed District. The name is indeed
an honor and my thanks are def
initely in order at this time.

The outlook for fed cattle prices
indicates present levels will con-

with possibly an upturn later to
a summertime peak.
Hog prices are expected to be

USDA reports that lamb prices
have failed to make a substantial

Richland County Weed Control District

AS of May %, Weed District
personnel and equipment started
another seasons work. Since the
growing season started late, Dis
trict equipment will work as
rapidly as is possible. This year
our machines will be operated by
one operator in each. This is being
done by installing hydraulic oper-
ations for controlling the boom.
Spraying. in the Valley will be
done by the addition of a nozzle
man, since boom spraying is con-
sidered impractical.
The State Primary Highway
system will be sprayed in June
and July. Two sprays r e
essary to obtain control. The
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific Railway right-of-w a y S
will also be sprayed. Public
utility properties also will be
sprayed. All of this work is done
on a custom basis. All money
received revertS back into the
Noxious Weed Fund, to be reused
during the fiscal year. In this
manner a greater degree of weed
control can be accomplished with
a given sum of funds.
1t must be understood that now
is the time to begin the control of
whita.op, leafy spurge, and Rus
sian knapweed. These r prolific
perennial weeds that are danger
Gus. Hay meadows, fields, and
pastures can be completely ruined
unless control measures are taken.
These weeds are hard to control,
and an effort during the year is
necessary to bring these weeds
under control. It won't be an
easy fight, 1 a grant you that.
If these weeds exist in a field,
applications of alt least IL to
pound will make a foliage burn
down, thus controlling seed pro-
] duction of the weed. Higher APP
plications on non-cropland will
give good control and some kill

THE BEST USE
OF WATER

While making efficient use of ir-
rIgation water is always important
it will be doubly SO this year for
farmers living east of the Cont
mental Divide since all indications
point to below average supplies of
water.
One good way to get the most
out of irrigation water and at
the same time avoid waste is TO
use a probe or soil auger to de-
termine depth of moisture. While
irrigation specialists have long
advocated this method. it has not
been used as widely as it might
be.
BY using a soil anger in advance
of irrigation, you can tell how
far it is to good moisture and
make your irrigating plans ac-
cordingly. For example, if only
the top foot of soil needs to be
soaked, it wuld be a waste of
water to apply more than enough
to accomplish this.
1aAOH Liz LAS OCP0l VI lllt IOOl
zone of the crop being grown, you
can check with the soil auger on
how deep the moisture has pene-
trated. Ordinarily, pasture need
not be wet more than one or two
feet while alfalfa may need to
have the soil soaked to a depth
OF three or four feet.
There are other things, too,
that you can do to get more eff
ficient use of water such as get
ting rid of aquatic weeds that
drink up moisture, sealing leaky
bitches and having irrigation
structures that handle water eff
ficiently.
We have a number of publica-
tons at the County Extension Of
flee on irrigation that viii be
helpful to you.

STORING WOOLENS
When you put woolens into
storage for THE summer, a few
routine precautions can help to
keep moths out of the clothing
Remember, only clean garments
should be stored. Wrap freshly
cleaned articles in heavy wrap
ping paper and seal all openings
with gummed tape.
Write on the outside of the
package what is in it SO you won't
have to open it unless you need
a specific article. Reseal the
package completely if you have
to open it.
Store the wrapped packages il
a chest or container to protect
them from handling that NIGH
break the seal or tear the paper
A cedar chest or closet doeSn'
give complete protection wIthou
these other precautions.
Put small wolens such as NIT
tens, sweaters, socks and scarve.
in glass jars and close them tight
ly. Have your scatter rugs cleaned
before storing, then put them IL
heavy paper and seal. Use pape.
and tape strong enough not t,
tear when the rug is handled.

THE FOOD PROCESSING
INDUSTRY

Closely allied with agriculture
is the food processing industry,
yet many people do not realize
that it is the nations largest bus
mess. In 1859 the food processing
industry crossed nearly $50 bill
lion, which is roughly twice that
of such giants as motor vehicles,
primary metals, and petroleum.
FOOD processing employs directly
some l million, 100000 persons
or more than 10 percent of all
manufacturing employees. 1t pays
industrial wages of about So bill
lion and makes jobs for millions
of other persons.
