Selects Head Montana
University System
Helena—«U.P>' —Montana ha'.l an ex
ecutive head for its university sys
tem today, a little more than a year
after the post was created by a 1945
law.
The state board of education elect-
F.l a recently discharged army major,
Dr. George Allbent Seike, 57, to the
post at its quarterly meeting in Bil
lings April 8. Sel'ke will assume his
duties May 1 at a salary of $12,000
a year with headquarters here. His
term of office is indefinite.
The position, although not thus
designated by law, is considered to
be equivalent to a chancellorship, as
Heike, who becomes the highest paid
officer in the state, will supervise
the six unite of the university sys
tem.
The Farm Front
j By ERNEST IMMEL
i United Press Staff Correspondent
■ Helena— (U.P) —Mild weather has
given crops an early start and has
peranitteG plantings to ibegin (from two
ito flour weeks early, reports of the
bureau of agricultural economics show.
The bureau said approximately three
fourths of the seed beds for grains
have been prepared in northern and
eastern counties. Progress in central
an’J western counties was slower but
still head of last year.
j The moisture situation has been of
some concern in recent months but
the government agency found it ade
quate in most parts of the state.
The early spring, however, gives
special importance to present moisture
conditions and there will be consid
erable watching of the clouds from
t now on.
1 The bureau of agricultural econom : cs
' forecast the largest winter wheat crop
in Montana’s history. The estimate
as of now is 36,078,000 bushels from
the 1,718,000 acres seeded last fall.
This wouil’d be an average of 21 bush
els an acre. Average production from
1935 through 1944 was reported at
19,039,000 bushels.
Stocks of wheat on farms April
1 were considerably under last year
but above the 18,84-7,000-bushel aver
nue for the preceding ‘decade. Shoe’ s
this year amounted to 19,027.000 bush
els compared with 36,915,000 bushels
April 1, 1945.
While Montana farmers were getting
an early start in the fields and the
outlook for big yields appeared in
prospect, a campaign was launched
to save food for European people
threatend with famine.
I
I R. J. McKenna, Bozeman, state
manager of the emergency focd pro
gram, held a conference in Helena
‘designed to carry the message of
food saving—especially wheat and
wheat products and food fats an’J
oils—into every Montana home. In
this connection emphasis was given
to home gardens. It was pointed out
that home gardens would offset some
food that farmers would otherwise
have to raise for domestic consump
tion.
Grain feeds enter into the situa
tion, and Albert H. Kruse, state com
missioner of agriculture, called a con
ference for next week to consider
Montana’s “critical” feed shortage.
Kruse said he had been informed by
Healers that they would lie out of
business within u month unless there
were relaxation of government orders
prohibiting use of lunge quantities of
wheat in m-xed feed. There ha- been
some recent relaxation but Kruse sail
it was “not enough.”
I
I Rural electrification is ibranching
out in the state as increased fer. I era I
funds have been made availalb’e. Mrist
recent word is of an allocation for
a Hill county cooperative.
In some parts -of the state the
oil and gas potentials of farm an’.l
ranah lands are causing farmers to
think more than ever before in terms
of this source of wealth. This i.s
current! v true in the central area,
especiallv around the Cat creek field
in Petrobunn county.
I The state land board is f’n Hn"
I nn en«lar ,r M Jiemand for oil and gas
leases. Likewise private hosiers are
getting offers.
No Probate Proceedings
for Veterans Pay
Helena—KU.P) —The Veterans Ad
ministration has exiplnined that ar
'rears in pay Hue deceases! service
men do not have to be submitted' to
urobate .proceedings but may be dis
tributed 'directly to heirs, regardless
of the amount due.
The VA said previous laws, if pay
ments in arrears amounted to over
$1,900, required probate proceedings,
eo"gress amende 1 the act la.st Feb.?s.
The administration explained it haH
i learned some families of deceased
' servicemen were paying unnecessary
expenses because of unfamiliarity
.with the new law.
