FLATHEAD CROPS
WILL Be LARGE
Reservation Farmers Never
in Better Shape, Says
James Harbert.

This is going to be the best year
the farmers of the F'latheaG have ever
had. says James Harbert of Poison,
who was in Missouia yesterday on
business.
The unusual weather this winter has
been worth thousands of dollars to
farmers in the reservation country,
the Poison booster declares, and will
make the 1918 war crop a tremendous
blow to the kaiser.
THE precipitation average for the
F'lathead during the 10 winters preced-
ing this was l.S5 inches" said Mr.. Har-
best yesterday. This winter the pre-
cipitation has already amounted to six
inches.
Wet Three Feet Down.
Farmers who have been digging
postholes during this So called winter
weather have found moisture three feet
below the surface. an unprecedented
condition in this country.
"All this is just as good as money
in the bank for the F'lathead. The
winter crop, which is the largest ever
planted. is - per cent as good as made
right now.
whats more, spring piowing has all
been finished. Up in our country they
were blowing until ten days ago. Think
Of that, a tremendous area is under
the pillow and the harvest from it all
ought to be fine. now that heavy snow
has fallen on the soaked ground.
ITS going to be a great year for the
Fathead"

HOG ISLAND HAS RIVAL
IN NEW SCHWAB YARD
Federal Shipbuilding Com.
pany Plant at kearny, N. j.,
May Be Worlds Largest

Hog Islan6s will have to look to its
laurels after the war. or it VIII be out
done in production of ships by the Fed
erai Shipbuilding Company, OF kearny,
y. j.. one of the new plants established
by Charles NJ. Schwab. director general
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
The United States Steel Corporation
owns the Federal company.
The freighter Liberty was launched at
this yard yesterday. The plant now
represents an outlay of about Sll,OoO,-
200. and this sum is to be increased to
about $40, 900 900. which will make 1t
one Of the largest ship plants in the
world These plans explain the recent
purchase OF great tract of land Just
across the Hackensack River from the
Federal plant
on this land it is proposed to build
drydocks, one of which viii be 1000
feet in length--large enough to dock the
Leviathan. The only drydock on this
side of the Atlantic large enough to
take this big liner is said to be the one
at the Panama Canal.
There are now ten ship ways at the
Federal plant, two more are under way
and three others are planned. All oper-
ations there have an air of psrmanencN.
All buildings are of cement an6 steel,
the great craueways were put up TO stay
and the entire tract has been given a
solid ash bed
If the company goes on with its eN-
tensions as planned this ship plant will
take the place of Hog Island at the
head of the list of big ones after the
