STATE WHEAT CROP
100000 BUSHELS.
RYE AND POTATOES PROMISE
WELL BUT FRUIT CROP is
BELOW NORMAL.
NEWS OF THE CAPITAL CITY
Men Who Secure Exemptions on Indus
trial Grounds Must Continue to
Work Regularly or Be In
Quoted Into Army

Helena.-Despite the fact that poor
weather severely cut the wheat yield
of Montana, state officials believe the
favorable turn of the elements last
month means at least 30,0OO0OO
bushel wheat crop for Montana. If the
seven northern counties had not suf-
fered from intense drouth early in the
summer, the yield would have been
much larger.
Montana agriculturalists seem in
clined to believe that the yield of
wheat will be larger than government
estimates Reports to the state agri-
cultural college show that the increas-
ed acreage this year is 81 per cent.
Splendid crops in the Flathead val
ley are expected to enable oats to
make good showing. Sugar beets are
turning out well, but the yield of peas
was recently hit by Il severe hail
storm. Rye and potatoes promise to
yield splendidly but the fruit crop will
probably be far below normal.

Work or Fight Order Will Stick.
The federal employment bureau at
Washington has telegraphed Secre-
tary Charles D. Greenfield of the state
council of defense that 'the work or
fight order will stick" and then q1ot-
ed Secretary Of War Baker as fol-
lows:
"a man who gets an industrial ex
emption by reason of his being an in
operative in an indispen-
sable industry ceases to have that ex-
emption as soon as he ceases to be an
operative in that industry.
''T'he boards have never applied
that in the case of bona fide disputes
between labor as an aggregate and en-
ployers as an aggregate, but they have
always prevented man taking refuge
behind industrial exemption and then
his work for which he re-
ceived exemption, so that the apparent
purpose of tha senate amendment is
already in operation
The labor bureau then says: "This
offers opportunity to so many in unes
sential industries that they should go
into essential Industries at once and
stay there in spite of the fact that the
strike clause has been stricken out of
the new draft BILL"

being done in this state with view
of obtaining data that can be used in
