iPh0JECT FARMERS
Reclamation Service Ready
to'Plow Land.

Helena, Dec. Farmers living on
the United States reclamation projects
who are not financially able TO put
all their land under cultivation may
have the blowing done by the govern
ment at actual cost to be paid after
the harvest. according To Willis j.
E:gleston, district counsel of the rec
lamation service for Montana. Wyom-
ing and North Dakota, with headquar-
tiers in Helena. This plan was carried
out to limited degree this year, Mr..
E,gleston says, several thousand acres
of land having been prepared for crops
in this state by reclamation service
tractors.
"This may be termed a war meas
lre." said Mr.. Egleston. The desire
Of the government and the people gen
orally is to produce the maximum of
food Reclamation service officials
find that in some cases homesteaders
and other farmers We're not cultivat :
ting all their land because they did not
have the money to get the blowing
done. The government has done the
blowing at actual cost. In some Gases
seed was furnished, but supplying seed
is done only in exceptional cases"

RED CROSS NOTES

Every city in the northern division
OF the American Red Cross either has
been or is being districted for purposes
OF the Christmas membership drive.
This dstrictins system WAS ai.-
proved at 4 recent meeting of Che al
vision membership committee as tbs
best assurance that every home should
be canvassed by Red Cross member
shin solicitors.
In cities where the membership
drive has already begun. in order that
II may be completed before heavy
snow. districts are smaller than ward
organizations but larger than the or
binary voting precinct. In most of
the cities the Red Cross workers are
re -divided into armies. each command
ed by general. The armies are ri
vals, each striving to gain the most
memberships.
Each army is subdividea into reei
ments, each regiment being assigned
n certain district. Their" are a snf-
ficient number of men In the regiment
to visit every house and business place
In the district, to visit them more than
once if necessary.
Probably every soldier in the scrN-
| ice of the United States viii receive
some gift on Christmas. Where the
soldier has relatives at home his
Christmas box viii probably he bull
ging with gifts. For soldiers who have
no relatives TO send Christmas remcm-
branccs the Red Cross will provide
ample supply.
But that is not enough. according
to Coler Campbell. division director
for the bureau of military relief. 1T
would be a lonesome Christmas in
deed for the boys if they did not re-
ceive some gifts" said Mr.. Campbell
but / believe a personal letter to ev-
cry soldier in the camp would be even
more appreciated than n gift. If ev-
cry person in the northern division
would write "A letter or even Il postal
card to every man in the service with
whom they are acquainted 1T WoulG
indeed be wonderful Christmas 70,

touch more than any gift can. May.
