Contaminated gram continues
I to be a problem and seizures arc
;still being made by the federal
food and drug administration.
I Recently a carload of Montana
gram was seized at Spokane,
and Montana had more seizures
in 1969 and 1960 than in the pre
vious seven years — l3 cars as
•gainst 27.
Gram contamination is a pro
blem for both farmers and ele
vator operators and most of the
trouble comes from grain that
has been in storage for several
months before moving to mar
ket
| Since rodents continue to be
.the chiaf cause of contamination
frequent inspection of stored
gram should be made to make
certain It is not being contamin
ated Treated gram that gets in
with market grain is another
common cause of contamination
and it takes only a few kernels
to make a car subject to seiz
ure Any b.ns that have been us
ed for storing treated grain need
a thorough cleaning before be
.ng used for food grain.
Remember the slogan-" Grain
;s Food. Keep it Clean”.
"Range re-sceding” Is a termi
that has crept into the vocabu- ;
I ary of many people in recent
years and it implies that once
native range has deteriorated
lit can be easily restored to its
ong.nal condiUon by re-seeding.
Strictly speaking, this is not
always so. Much of our range
land cannot be easily re-seeded
ind for several reasons. One is
:he lack of seed of the best
range species Other reasons are
lack of moisture, low soil fertil-
"By this fall, we will have in
vested in transmission and stor
age facilities more than $6,(W0,-
OJO. on which we must pay ope
rating expenses, taxes and fix
ed charges and a fair return on
the investment." Corette said.
"This is in addition to the $2,-
500.000 annual increase in gas
purchase expense and is in ad
dition to other expense increases
we have experienced during the
eight years since our last rate
case.”
Under the preposed new ra'es.
Montana Power's average gas
rate based on use of 15.000 cubic
feet per month would be 79.6
cents per thousand cubic feet.
This compares with costs rang
ing from $1 25 to $1 37 per thou
sand cubic feet paid by custom
ers in Washington. Oregon and
Idaho, which are other states us
ing Canadian gas.
Under the proposed rates. Co
rette said, the cost of heating a
typical residence would be from
$75 to $99 per year less using gas
than using oil and as much as
5235 per year less than using
propane.
ity and too much competition in
unprepared seedbeds from un
productive plants that replaced
the original native cover.
Until we get a seed supply of
the adapted native species that
originally grew on the range,
we can only seed permanent-or
more correctly semi-permanent
pastures using the best introduc
ed grasses and legumes avail,
able.
Seeded permanent pastures are
not the same as re-seeded range
but they have much value on
our more productive pasture
lands-land that will stand culti
vation once every five or ten
years.
The best insurance against
having native range deteriorate
is to keep the native perennial
plants in vigorous, productive
'condition. Through proper graz
ing management which gives
the range grasses an occasional
re9t this becomes almost auto
matic.
Much of the success with your
planting depends on how you
take care of the tree seedlings
from the time they arrive until
you get them in the ground. The
most important thing, says Ex
tension Forester Dick Marks, is
to keep the seedlings moist from
the time you receive them until
they are planted. A good root
system is essential and unless
proper care is taken the roots
dry out rapidly and are injured
Watering the seedlings as soon
as you get them and then plant
.ng as soon as possible. How
ever, if you can't plant right
away, store the seedlings in a
cool place and keep them moist.
Stored in this way they will keep
for several day. c .
But if you must postpone the
planting for more than three or
four days, then jt would be best
to "heel in” the seedlings. You
do this by digging a V-shaped
trench and spreading the roots
out along the side of the trench.
Then fill with soil so that the
roots are covered and drench
with water.
When planting, keep the roots
covered with damp material
such as burlap or you can keep
them submerged in a puddle or
bucket of water. Letting the
roots be exposed to sun or wind
for even an hour can be barm
ful to them.
You can plant your Easter lily
outdoors late in May when the
soil warms up. Choose a sunny
> well-drained place to plant the
lily and be sure the soil is well
worked up. Plant the bulb from
4 to 6 inches deep. If (be soil is
'sandy, plant the bull deeper.
When the plant is up about 8
inches, apply a complete fertili
lizer. Mix one teaspoon of a
complete fertilizer such as 16-20-
0 in a galloo of water and pour
around the plant. Be careful
not to get the fertilizer on the
foliage.
I After buds appear, fertilize the
lily again the same wear. If ther
e's a dry sped during (he sum
mer, water the lily occasionally,
but don't overwater or rot may
set in. Also cultivate lightly a.
round the plant but* don’t dig
deeplyor you'll damage the root.
