Bigger Spoce Pilot Role
Set in Project Gemini

phases of the space-explora-
ton program.
Our experience with Gemini
in controlling long duration
missions and In launching two
large vehicles at precise time
intervals as required for salts
factory rendezvous experiments
should contribute both knowl-
edge and actual operational
experience that will be valuable
to the solution Of Apollo flight
control problems" Mr.. Gilruth
said.
The complete Gemini vehicle,
consisting Of q Titan II rocket
and two-man spacecraft, will
be less ungainly than the Atlas
Mercury combination now in
existence, Mr.. Gilruth said. The
Gemini will have no tall escape
tower atop the capsule. but will
rely on ejection-seat arrange
mentS for emergency bail-outs.
This is because the fuel mix
ture used in the new Titan II
is less violently explosive than
the combination used in the
Atlas, Mr.. Gilruth said.
Landing on land rather than
in water are contemplated for
Gemini and later for Appolo.
Mr.. Gilruth said the Gemini
pilot will have much more ac-
tual steering control over mis-
descending vehicle than does
the astronaut in a zero-lift
Mercury causple. Improved con-
trols and an offset center of
gravity account for the change.
with such control the Gem
ini pilot should be able to
reach any landing point within
about 100 miles Of either side
Of the (centerl line Of flight
and several hundred miles up
or down range from the (nomi-
nab landing point" Mr.. Gill

SEATTLE, Wash, May D.
Americas next manned space
program, Project Gemini. will
place increased dependence on
the pilot as primary controller
Of his vehicle.
This is the word from Robert
r. Gilruth, director Of the space
agency's manned spa e
craft center. In a talk before
the National Conference on
Peaceful Uses Of Space today,
Mr.. Gilruth said experience in
Project Mercury has given as
surance that space men can be
entrusted to fly their ships
without complete reliance on
automatic devices.
Gemini, which will be ready
to fly in about two years, was
described as an intermediate
stage between the one-man
Mercury program and the
ithree-man Project Apollo. Apol-
10 Is a step-by-step operation
aimed at landing men on the
moon before 1870.
Mr.. Gilruth said Gemini will
allow more pilots to acquire
actual space flight experience,
Each Gemini capsule-which
will look like an diversified
Mercury space eraft-will
carry two astronauts, each a
qualified pilot. Missions will
last for several days.
In addition to pilot train
ing, the Gemini program will
include exercises in rendezvous
and orbital docking - the
bringing together two space
ships in orbit. This sort OF
maneuver has never been at
tempted, as far as is known.
1t is regarded at this time as
a skill which must be mastered

POISONS

Many commonly used house
hold items are, or if misused may
be, poisonous even though there
is no warning on the label.
OF the 200. 900 victims of ac-
cidental poisoning that occur in
American homes each year, the
majority r children. Many of
the young victims live, but are
crippled for life by body or brain
damage.
Aspirin leads as the most COM
nor cause of fatal poisoning in
children. If eaten or swallowed
in sufficient quantities, it may
cause heart failure, kidney dam
age or commissions. Tablets
should not be left anywhere with
in easy reach of children. Moth
ers or guests should not permit
children to play with purses con-
tanning aspirin or drugs.
When children are teething,
they like to chew on things. such
as woodwork, stair ratings and
window stills. Lead poisoning, a
serious illness, may result. Safe
guard children by replacing peel
ing, taking or blistered paint
with paint that contains less than
! percent lead content.

VARIETY DURING LENT

During the DO days Of Lent,
homemakerS frequently run short
of ideas for meals that are III

tive, and yet offer a variety of
tastes.
Montana State College home
economists suggest that high pro-
tein foods such as eggs, cheese,
milk may be used in many ways
to give variety to Lenten meals.
Baked beans also have a high pro-
tein content which can be fortified
with orange juice for vitamin G,
and with grated cheese.
Pancakes, waffles and French
toast make satisfying evening
meals. Add some chopped pecans
to the waffle batter for extra

PLAN RANGE
NOW

The time for plains and foot
hill ranchers to make plans for
improving the production of for
age on their rangelands is right
now.
Waiting until next fall or even
until next summer is too late to
make such plans.
The month of May, June and
July are the only time ranchers
have for making the most prog
ress in improving range forage
production. When ranges are
graZed too closely at any time
during these three months, they
cannot maintain a high level of
forage production needed to put
animals in top condition for
wintering. The ranges. that pro-
duce best year after year are
those on which at least half of
the current years production of
desirable grasses are left. How
ever(. to make use of the range
in this manner during the three
critical months requires some
advance planning. The winter
months when work is less press
'ng offer a good time to give
some thought to this subject.
Good plans thought out ahead
of time save money and give
better results.

NEW GARDEN SEED LAW

Although many gardeners may
not be aware of it. Montana now
has a seed labelling law that COW
ers vegetables and flower seeds
offered for sale in the state. In
fact, Montana has two different
laws which apply to the labelling
of seed offered for sale. One is
the agricultural seed law en-
acted in 1913 and amended a
number of times since then. The
other is the new vegetable and
flower seed labelling law enacted in
1861.
The law governing the label
ing of flower and vegetable seeds
requires that all such seeds,
whether in package or bulk, must
be labeled in accordance with the
provisions of the law.
Under the law the label must
include information on kind and
variety of seed, name and address
of person who labeled the seed or
who offers it for sale, germina-
ton percentage. name and num-
Der per pound of each kind of
restricted noxious weed seed.
The law lists q noxious weed
seeds divided into two groups
Vegetable or flower seed con-
tanning any weed seeds in the
Prohibited List" may not be sold
in the state. Vegetable or flower
seed containing weed seeds in the
Restricted List" may be sold il
the weed seeds are not in excess
of one-half percent by weight OF
the vegetable or flower seed.

SEWING OF COTTON KNITS

One of the popular rabricS on
the market this year is the cot
ton knits. Cotton knits can be
used for costumes of suits,
dresses or all types of sports
wear There are some rules to
follow when constructing a gar
ment of knitted fabrics. knitted
fabrics, usually sold in tubular
form, must be opened to prepare
for sewing.
Do not cut on the fold to open
the fabric. Cut carefully, follow
ing the rib of the knit, the true
grain line.
Pin pattern to the right side of
the fabric with lengthwise folds
along a single rib of the knit.
Avoid stretching the fabric when
plnning pattern into position.
Use sharp shears and hold fabric
securely without stretching or
lifting.
Before sewing the garment to
gether. test the stitching on a
sample of the fabric. Stitch on
double thicknesses on the length
wise, croSSwiSe, and bias grains.
Select a size IA needle for
medium or heavy weight knits,
size IL for light weight. Sew
with loose balance tension, light
pressure On the pressure foot and
stitch between IL and Is stitches
when stitching to give seam just
when stitching to give seam Just
enough flexibility to prevent
breaking of stitches when wear
ing.
Stay stitch all pattern pieces.
Care in handling is important to
maintain original shape of each
piece.
Knitted fabrics give more in
width than length so stay waist
line and shoulder seams with
woven tape. All bias seams need
TO be controlled with tape.
Knitted fabrics flatter al
figure types if fit gives an easy

The combined use of household
bleacheS and cleaners can be
deadly, though few women are
aware of it. Chlorine gas re-
leased in a poorly ventilated
bathroom or kitchen can be
dangerous, especially TO small
children. Vinegar and other acids
also will liberate chlorine from
bleach.
The proper storage or the dis
carding of harmful chemicals,
such as carbon tetra chloride, in
s~ecticides, and those used by
amateur photographers, may help
to cut down the rate Of accidental
poisonings and protect the health

WEED
CONTROL TIPS

Infestations of perennial weeds
on cropland can be effectively
controlled by cultivating every
IA to 81 days from early spring
until late fall and using chemicals
when moisture conditions are
favorable.
This is the recommendation of
Leslie Sender, Extension weed
specialist at Montana State Col
lege.
One exception in the cultiva-
ton program, according TO Son
der. is field bindweed which
should be cultivated at 10 to IA
day intervals.
Semi-sterilants such at 2,4-D
with borax, TBA, Amino Triazole,
and possibly 2,4-D at heavy rates
give good results on the harder
to-kill perennial weeds. Although

This week we will continue on
with crop variety Recommended
tons for this area based on
Eastern Montana Branch Expert
ment Station trials. In previous
articles wheat and barley varie-
ties were suggested under various
growing conditions. This week
we will discuss oat varieties
under both dryland and irrigated
conditions. Before we begin with
the varieties, it would be men,
toned that the demand for oats
in our area has exceeded the
supply during the past few years.
Oats are generally favored over
all other cereal grains for feeding
young calves and lambs. Ind
crease use of creep feeding of
young calves and lambs in this
area has increased the demand
for oats accordingly. In other
words, it appears more oats will
have TO be grown to meet the de-
mand for this excellent livestock
growing feed.
Now for the recommended
varieties under dryland condi-
Gus conditions. Suggested oat

stored soil moisture prevail in
clude Gopher. Mission Qor for
age only, and Basin. Rodney, a
popular variety in this area, does
