lore AND BETTER SUMMER TILLAGEI is NEEDED
ON MOST MONTANA DRY FARMS

Because:
L. 1t is one big step toward an adapted system Of di-
versiication.
2. Continuous stumbling in" and slip shod "shot gun"
farming usually leads to nothing but failure, grief and
disaster.
3. The element of risk is reduced and partial crop in
surance is provided.
4. Plant food and moisture are conserved and yields
increased by the elimination and control Of weeds.
5. Labor is more evenly distributed throughout the
season.
6. A stabilized annual income is as important as a
profitable one.
7. More land is ready for timely seeding.
8. More plant food is rendered available.
8. It is practical and possible to some extent even where
capital and equipment are somewhat lacking.
10. The dry farmer owes it to himself, his family, his.
community and Montana to take every possible step lead
ing toward a safer and saner agriculture.
But Summer Tillage Is Not a CureaIl
Because
l. No ONE method will guarantee a profitable income
EVERY year.
2. Cows. chickens, corn, etc, are also a part of the cure.
3. Other methods of carrying over a reserve and divid-
ing the risk must also be utilized.
A. Summer tillage under certain soil conditions brings
up problems such as soil blowing almost as bad as drouth.
5. A cog can never serve as an entire wheel.

DETROIT. June 16.-Steel, lumber
and other building materials have in
creased rapidly In price in this sec
ton. This has created feeling OF
hesitation In certain quarters. Some
builders profess that costs of ma
terials and labor have gone SO high
as = result of the sudden demand
upon producers that there should be
a waiting spell in building construc-
ton to enable prices to settle to more
stable levels.
In spite Of this. building permits
issued in the last week totaled 81
$4,000. as compared with $2,li2,0O0
for the previous week.
Other business statistics show no
reason for a change of heart as 10
the favorable business outlook. The
employment report figures Indicate no
industrial slackening. A total OF
900 workers were employed here
this week, an increase of 5,2OO over
the previous week.
Automobile dealers report a steady
increase in sales to farmer customers.

Shortage Of Common Labor
Reported in St. Louis Area
BY ]. n. FINlNG.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. June l6.-There is a de-
cided shortage Of common labor in this
section. There is strong demand
from the agricultural districts. and
the demand has been supplemented
as a result of the rapid improvement
in all lines Of manufacture. This is
not an actual general labor shortage,
but rather a displacement Of labor
as a result of the abnormauties OF
the recovery from depression.
In many cities the construction pro-
gram is under forced draft with
prices for materials ascending rapid
~ and wage reductions being neutral
lied by bonuses offered in order to
secure a sufficient supply OF skilled
and semi skilled labor. The larger
building operations projected have
hardly begun. Wholesale and retail
business is rejecting the industrial
revival Merchants are clearing up old
accounts and buying in large volume.
Stocks are still low, and future buy
ing is expected to be very heavy.
The manufacturers of building ma
terials, including iron and steel. lime
and cement, sand. brick. glass. lum-
Der, hardware. paints and roofing are
steadily and constantly increasing the
forces at work and the output of their
plants Makers of shoes. kitchen uten-
sils and mems and women's ready-to--
wear clothing also are busy and
speeding up their production pro-
grams.
