THE ROUND CIRCLE Cow
Bellies of Circle, Montana have
a unique idea for better under
standing among members of the
beef industry. They invite cat
tlemen travelling through Eas-
terns~M Montana to- stop at the
County Agents office in Circle.
CountyyAgent Phil Olmsteadwill
then give the traveller and his
family directions for reaching
nearby ranch where they can
see at first-hand ranching in
prairie country.
The host rancher or his wife
will show each guest around the
ranch while work continues as
usual. They will answer all
questions to the best of their
ability. So anyone with an hour
or a day to spare might stop
at Circle, Montana, and look up
County Agent Phil Olmstead for
a look at prairie ranching. And
remember, the coffee pot is
always on in Eastern Montana,
we're told by Lucille Jensen,
chairman of the CowBelles
group.
We've suggested several tim
es that the idea is useful for
Kent county folks. We can pro-
vide a little more variety, if 1t
is not on the grand scale of
the Golden West. We have some
beef, many dairy farms, hogs,
sheep, horses, goats, broilers,
layers, fruits, vegetables. Call
us at 736-l448 or visit the Ex-
tension Service at the Dover
|postoffice. We have many far
mers who are proud and hap
py to show and explain what
they are doing.

The effects of widespread
drought in this part of the coun-
try this fall have been felt In
urban areas as well as on farm
fields and pastures, Jacob Zim-

vaion State Committee, said
this week.
"City water supplies are low,

Under the Agricultural Con-
servation Program (ACP), the
government cooperates with
farmers in conserving nation
al resources by sharing the
cost of needed conservation
measures. Zimmerman listed
the following as some of the
ACP practices carried out In
Delaware which have helped as

Farm ponds; strip-cropping;

Probably in no other phase of

Probably in no other phase of
agriculture is technology
changing so fast as in the agri-
cultural chemical field. Compa-
MES are working constantly tc
develop new weed control chem
icals. AS our scientists and
others unlock secrets inside
the plant, we will see an even
more systematic discovery of
selective chemicals to control
some plants without killing 9TH
erS.
We need ways to make pre-
sent herbicides perform more
consistently. Farmers need
more selective chemicals for
controlling weeds in soybeans.
More selective post-emergence
chemicals for grass control in
both corn and soybeans are al
so high on farmers priority
lists.
One of the real roadblocks
to best results with herbicides
may be the present planter
wheel. Farmers may benefit by
preparing a smoother area, es-
pecially for granular herbicides
applied behind the planter.
Equipment manufacturers
are developing new ideas to
help with herbicide application.
One company has developed a
marking boom for sprayers.
Devices such as these can help
avoid overlapping and help avoid
the problems that follow from
overdosage.
Looking to the future, far
mers may be spraying with two
different chemicals at the same
time - one over the row and
another over the row middles.
We may see more change in
cultural practices, TOO. Some
weed control specialists are
asking if farmers need to pre-
pare the whole row width with
modern herbicides available. In
the not-too-distant future, far
mers may mechanically till the
soil they have, chemically con-
troll weeds on the rest and de-
velop planting patterns that may
seem ''way out" by today's
standards. Andwe may see high
er planting rates to take ad-
vantage of more shade in order
to help control weeds.
While it might not happen
tomorrow or for few years,
controlling weed seed dormancy
with synthetic seedgermination
inhibitors or stimulants and
with radio frequency or irradi-
alton treatment is within the
realm of possibility.

Bulletin For
.Dairymen
Released

A new University of Delaware
publication designed to help
dairymen do a better feeding job
has just been released. The
pamphlet, entitled "Feeding
Dairy Cows, provides feeding
standards for maximum milk
production.
w. r. Hesseltine, extension
dairynan at the University,
says thumb rules have guided
dairymen In their feeding eff
forts for years. Recent feeding
research, however, has made 1t
possible to develop more
scientific methods.
New feeding standards de-
veloped at the University of
Maryland consider the milk
grain price ratio, the quality of
forage being fed, and the fact that
COWS eat less hay when they re-
ceive more grain.
This new publication includes
charts based on the Maryland
standards and explains how to
use them. Also included are
steps to '1ead feeding, sys-
tenn for encouraging maximum
grain consumption, and plan
for getting the most milk from
the smallest number of COWS.
Copies of the publication are
available from the Mailing
Room, Agricultural Hall. Uni
versity of Delaware, Newark,
Delaware. Individual copies will
be mailed free.

DAIRYMEN CAN SAVE time
and labor in keeping COWS clean
this winter by giving them a
haircut within the next few
weeks. Clipping the flanks, tail
and udder makes the job ofpre-
pairing the COW for milking much
easier.
Here are suggestions for
clipping a dairy COW:
Clip the tail and bob the
switch so that 1t clears the
ground by about four inches.
Clip the entire surface If the
udder.
Clip the belly and hooks. Then
make ''mark line" from the
naval to the thurl on both sides.
Do this by holding the clip
pers on edge with the bottom
blade toward the cows head.
Clip the flanks and thighs by
running the clippers from the
hook to the mark line.
Clip along the backbone to
help control lice.
Clipping is no substitute for
washing the cows teats andud-
der before milking. Even when
COWS are neatly clipped, the I'D
der and teats should be washed
with water containing agood
sanitizing solution.

T was born and raised here in Fort Yukon. I raised my twelve children and I am now helping to raise my nineteen grandchildren including my adopted 16-month old baby boy" Mrs. Hannah Solomon said in her article she wrote for the current Tundra Times.
 It was so pleasantly obvious that Hannah Solomon has enjoyed be- 1 ing with children all her life In doing so she is obviously living a full life, giving love to her chil- dren and grandchildren. While do- ing that, she is also reliving plea- sant memories of the past when she was a child.
 To further enrich her life she has the respect of her people. This was clearly shown by the people of Chalkyitsik who invited her to spend the holidays. In writing about it she said,
 Now and then someone would stand up and give a speech in my honor l was so thankful for what they did for me.
 Tt was so nice to see how those nice people worked together in a small village"
 While Hannah is obviously very busy raising her children and grandchildren she is also finding enough time to have good times with them.
 She wrote, I'm getting older every year, but I still like to get out and dance among my children and grand children"
 And so to Mrs. Hannah Solomon, happy mother and grandmother goes the Tundra Times ninth North Star Award along with our con- gratulationS.

ESKIMO POEM
 Keshorna
By HOWARD WEYAHOK

 How cold the sWard about you, Ke- shorna, Glinting frosts, swirling drifts of snow, Driven by unfeeling wind! Then a brief respite of a single moon, whence The great sun traverses the sky around, Defying the accustomed horizon, Nourishing, therefore, A cluster of forget-me-nots That burst into a soul-stirring blue Upon your simple Arctic grave. How slight and frail you were, But you faced with humble courage The unkind elements, that were your lot And, thus, emerged triumphant With a generous share of love For your fellow man. I was blessed with deeper love You bestowed upon me Keshorna. Love, divinely tender; Love that seemed caressed with a touch of heaven. Recollections fail me now. You uttered no. words of endear- ment;
 But I remember we'll a gentle hug, Adoring light within your eyes That told of love more than ten
 thousand words. How cold the sward about you Ke-
 shorna.
 Glinting frosts, swirling drifts of
 snow
 Driven by unfeeling wind. However cold your resting place, My heart within me whispers, Your rest is blessed in quiet peace Because you gave so well your love To your fellow man and me, A son to you, Keshorna."

 Radiation Moze

The people of Alaska, not the least of which are na- lives of Alaska being made live in maze of fusion regarding radiation.
 The sub feet of radiation has been bandied about in such way that inc people all mixed up about inc whole thing. How long will this confusion continue?
 While contradictory reports are being thrown about in all directions there are worried people who do not know what 10 think of the situaton One day inc people told not 10 worry that present radaon that has been accelerated by nUcear testng not enoUg to harm any one; that people being harmed much by x-ray machines.
 But at inc lime people fold, if present rate of radiation continues might be harmful geneticay 10 future generations.
 Others fell that inc of radiation people in inc north absorbing far than what considered safe level.
 The result inc people are made to worry and in inc next instance they fold that there nothing to worry about.
 In the light of this confusion there would to be great need for clear cut cacaton of radiation effects in Alaska and other of the world.
 The people need to be thoroughly educated to this At inc present tme inc half knowledge of radia lion people getting doing them any good Giving inc public inc real truth about radiation would be great service; the confusion that being handed out at inc present time is no less, great disservoe.
 Some of the European countries Norway and Sweden Ol lion in regard 10 human beings and animals So have some scientists in the United States and Canada.
 The trouble is there has not been any attempt to coordinate these studies up 10 inc present lime It able to assume that by pooling their eanings inc scientists could take great step toward cacation of inc radiation menace.
 One stumbling block has been inc inability of scien- fists to coordinate their studies of adation The physicist has his own viewpoint of radiation, inc biologist has anoher and medical science has still anoher
 If coordination of these sciences can be achieved, h is reasonable to assume that thorough knowledge of radiation be reached, that will enghten the con- fused public in Alaska and elsewhere
 Indications have been that radiation is grave long range problem in Alaska and other of inc world If steps taken towards honest evaUaton of inc serious ness of the problem, great service will have been done for he benefit of the people in radiation affected of the world.

Many Americans are going around
these days with sense of shame
stcmming from the latest era. in
stituted by our leaders in Washing
ton, of friendship and hospitality
for bloody communist tyrants. It,
is therefore nice to report an in
cident which took place in New
York last month. Because it was
essentially a local story, it did not
get sufficient nationwide attention
But it was deserving of wide notice
because it enables Americans to
take pride in the fact that at least
one public official-an appointed
one at that-refuscd to be cowcd
in the presence of Red butchers.
Tito Visit
The story ION which the New
York Daily News dug up the de-
taiisl concerns the Police Com
missioner Of New York City. Mi
ohaol J Murphy, and the visit to
this country of Red Boss Tito of
NugosiaVia. After being Welcomed
with al. the official trimmings by
President Kennedy at the White
House, Tito went up to New York
for a stay at the Waldorf-Astoria !
His safety presented a serious prob !
lem for the New York police be- {
cause of the presence in New York
of many relatives and friends of
victims of Tito's bloody purges. In
cooperation with the State Depart |
mcnt, the New York Police Depart |
ment worked out details to keep
demonstrations against Tito as
peaceful as possible But Tito was |
accompanied by his own squad of |
strong-arm touGhs. They demanded |
al! guests be cleared off the hotel |
floor occupied by Tito, that the |
lobby and elevators be cleared |
whenever Tito went in or out, that |
everyone entering or leaving the |
hotel be checked on, that no dem
onstrators be allowed near the ho-
tel and if they got near that they |
be arrested

To all this Commissioner Murphy |
replied: This is America We don't |
