Use Care When
Buying Seed Of
Mailing Barley

ZEMAN-Montana farmers who
plan to grow Betzes barley for the
mailing industry are urged by Arthu,
Show, extension agronomist at Mon.
tana State College, 10 use care in Sc
lecting their seed supply.
He advises growers to buy only
seed of the Betzes variety that is
certified or approved or which comes
in commercial lots where varietal
identity is beyond question.
Betzes, a barley variety developed
after exhaustive experimentation by
the Experimental Station at MISC. is
the only mailing barley variety rec
commended for Montana. However,
Shaw said, there have been instances
where "so-calIed" Betzes was offered
for sale but which upon laboratory
was found to contain seed
of nominating barley.
When impure mixtures make it
necessary to sell the crop at feed
barley prices, growers lose the pre-
MUM paid for mailing grade barley,
Shaw said.
Premiums paid Montana growers
of mailing barley, he added, have
amounted to as much as 100000 in
some years. This is income over and
above the value of the crop for feed
use. ~

Murrow himself is not without re-
sponsibility for bringing down the
wrath of the self-righteous. But when
his action is analysed what really de-
velops is merely that he was nervous,
as anyone unfamiliar with the ways
of Washington politics is likely to be.
The powers of United States Sem
ator, in this case Spessard Holland
of Florida, often seem limitless. Hol-
land was critical of the Murrow
documentary because it showed I'M
favorably the conditions of migrant
workers. Murrow got jumpy, possibly
because he knew some of its short
comings.
l have not seen the film so I have
no desire to enter the controversy as
to whether it over-stated the plight
of the migrants. However. / have
seen the workers and I doubt their
plight could be exaggerated.
HAND THE MAN
No one energies from this episode
looking exactly brilliant. but it seems
to me the Murrow critics look espec-
tally shabby.
Why it is. necessary in the news
paper business, or any business, to
condemn man before ascertaining
all the facts? Is it some compulsive
act? Must all the grim critics feel
betrayed" because a hero has made
a mistake? Does this one act of Ed
Murrow's mean that his are feet of
clay? Does this negate all the fine
reporting he has done?
The whole incident is sickening
because the shrill critics, much more
than Murrow, have dealt an almost
irreparable blow to the agency which
is supposed to express the Voice of
America. American writer's have said.
in effect, that the toad, not the eagle,
is the symbol of this nation.
They have also made it easy for all
petty critics to begin taking pot shots
at Murrow. Even under ideal circum-
stances the Murrow assignment was
not easy. But now with everyone MAX
ing him the target, it is ten times
harder.
All this unrestrained abuse makes
me wonder how some columnists think
of their work. Is it critics job to
destroy?

freeman Wants
To Trim Budget

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NFU)-
Agriculture Secretary Orville Free
man would like to trim couple of
billion off the department budget by
putting the costs of programs where
they belong.
Freeman said his department is
footing the bill for all sorts of pro-
grams that have little to do with
agriculture and should belong. par
TALLY or wholly to the Defense and
other departments.
For example, the overseas relief
program is costing the Agriculture
Department SIG billion year, when,
Freeman said, the State Department
should at least split the cost.
Millions more could be trimmed
from the budget by splitting school
milk, lunch, food for the needy, and
other welfare programs with the
Health, Education and Welfare De-
partment. The Defense Department
should pay on other programs, Free
man said.
In all, the Secretary figures more
than So billion could be trimmed from
the Sc billion year farm outlay he
inherited from former Secretary Ezra
Taft Benson.
Correcting the budget would also
be big step toward better public re-
lations on behalf of farmers. For the
past eight years farmers were blamed
for skyrocketing budget when many
program costs should have gone to
other departments.
