After strenuous weeks session.
the legislature which has been meet
ing at Helena, is about ready to ad-
journ. The important tasks FOR
which it was assembled have practic-
ally all been performed, and there
are many new laws on the statute
books as result.
Among the important matters
which came up towards the close of
the session was the Mason half mil
lion dollar bill which would approp-
riate $50O,O00 to be used by the State
Council of Defense for increased crop
production in Montana.
The fact that there is only about
one county in the state which will be
able to derive any benfits from the
seed lien law passed by this session,
made it imperative that the solons do
something to remedy the conditions
as they existed in certain needy dis
tricts.
Among other measures which were
acted on and in the process of be-
coming laws at Tuesdays session
were:
H. B. 10, by Bernard, legalizing
home guard companies and making
an appropriation of 100000, and H. B.
II, by Higgins, the soldiers voting
bill, passed by the house Tuesday
were received in the senate this morn
ing and will be considered this after
noon.
H. B. 9, by Larse, fixing a closed
season on brush burning, killed Tues
day by the senate, was resurrected to-
day and concurred in on third reading
after being amended to make virtu-
ally new bill.
AS amended, the measure makes it
a misdemeanor wilfully or negligently
to start fires from burning brush or
inflammable material. No closed sea.

son is the loss of ALL"
The United States department OF
agriculture has an agent buying seed
oats and barley in Montana, North
Dakota, and Minnesota to redistribute
by sale at cost to our people. Cost
means purchase price, cleaning, stor.
ing, and handling charges. This gov.
ernment agent sends grain to people
in this state on the approval of the
Montana seed grain board only. He
can not say exactly what price the
government will have to charge fo1
it as the prices are going up rapidly
The estimate is from $500 to $3.50
per 100 pounds for oats and $3.50 to
$4.00 per 100 pounds for barley, f.
o. b. cars at point of shipment, but
no assurance for the future can be
given even at these prices.
The seed grain board will give
preference to the more needy districts
but will recommend supplying all
applicants, provided applications are
on hand. The money collected will
go back into the purchasing fund and
will again be used by the government
agent. If our people will buy up the
seed promptly they can all be accom-.
modated. All who can supply them.
selves through private purchases
should do so. By so doing they may
save freight charges, find cheaper
grain, purer varieties, and those bet.
ter suited to their needs. The gov.
ernment agent is now ready to fill
orders for seed oats, barley and
wheat.
Each community should send in its
specific order as to how many cal
lots are wanted and where each is tc
be shipped, so that the board can al
once start the seed distribution. II
will be shipped in bulk car lots only
except on special request. Sacks con-
tanning to 2h bushels and the ex.
pense Of sacking will cost from rs to
60 cents each, varying with the quail.
ity of sack used. This cost will have
to be added to that of the sacked
grain.

SCHOOLS HAVE UNIQUE
STAMP SELLING PLA

A clever plan is being used by the
Glasgow South Side Grammar school
to promote the sale of thrift stamps.
Each room has prepared an attrac-
tive patriotic poster upon which is
posted brightly colored paper cir
Gle whenever stamp is purchased by
pupil. These posters are hung con-
spicuously in the halls so that the
stamp sales in the different rooms
may be easily noted from day to day
by all of the pupils. On the 14th day
of February, the fifth grade room was
leading with 400 CIRCLES on it's post
er, showing an investment of $1O2.25
by this room since the campaign
started.

STATE SEED BOARD IS
WORKING ON PROBLEMS
Seed, will Be Sold to Farmers at Cost in Certain Dis.
tricts Communities Urged to Pool Needs and
Credit and Buy Car Lots,

The state seed board has been re-
ceiving many inquiries of late, regard
ing where seed grain may be had and
whether the United States govern
ment is financing the farmers in the
purchase of this seed grain.
Replying to these and answering
many other questions which have
been put to them, the board has is
sued the following statement:
Congress made an appropriation
for the purchase of seed for farmers,
but the purpose of this fund is only
to make seed available at cost. The
farmers must pay for the seed when
delivered.
The large available seed supply is
in the east and will be purchased and
stored mainly in Dakota and Mime
sofa. 1t can be shipped from there
and other points to advantage only in
car lots. It will be necessary, there
fore, for the local communities to pool
their needs and their credit, so that
they can buy in quantity and pay for
the car lot on delivery.
Efforts are also being made to To-
cate all the seed grain available in
Montana, but this will have to be pur-
chased mainly on the same basis.
However, those who need seed and
can pay for it will be directed to
where supplies may be purchased.
Some farmers are not in position
to pay cash for the seed needed and
some have practically exhausted their
credit. There seems at present to be
but two ways by which these people
can be helped. The people who have
credit in the various communities may
pool. this credit and purchase the seed
supply and distribute to those farm
ers who have no available cash and
take crop lien or mortgage of some
kind to secure the payment. Only a
reasonable charge should be made for
this service. This is strictly commun-
ity cooperation and is based on a
recognition that the well-being and
the success of each individual are the
well-being and the success of the

GOLD STRIKE AT ZORTMAN.

1t is announced from Zortman that
a rich gold strike has been discov-
cred near that town. The find was
made while digging we'll for Mrs. L.
A. Lusk. After goihg through nine
feet of gumbo "a 10-foot bed of gravel
was struck, and in this gravel a gold
nugget was pickel up which is worth
SO. In panning the dirt it went from
So to Sc per pan. At this rate it is
figured the dirt is worth $3.50 per
yard and it is though that there is
about five acres just as rich.

TO ABANDON CAMP GREENE

Camp ~Greene at Charlotte, N. c.,
at one time occupied by the Montana
troops is to be abandoned as perma-
nent training center.
The camp site is knee deep in mud
in some places owing to an unusually
hard winter and the clay soil which
underlies the surface and prevents
rapid absorption.
The medical department has deter
mined there is no danger to the health
of the soldiers there until summer
comes. By that time the men there
now will have been moved.
