SEES $4,000 TAX
LOSS TO COUNTY
Assessor Harold Mady Esti-
mates Amount on Basis of
Reclamation Land Ruling.

An estimated tax loss to the county
this year of more than $1,000 through
the elimination from assessment and
taxation of reclamation lands on which
final certificate has not beer issued. is
predicted by County Assessor Harold
Mady following a preliminary check
of irrigated land records of the
county.
This expected tax loss is based on
Assessor Mady's estimate that the
county's true and full valuation will
drop about 100000 in respect to ir-
rigated lands.
Several weeks ago Attorney General
Wellington ID. Rankin ruled that all
reclamation lands not entirely rwned
by the entrymen. were not subject to
taxation. For the last two years, in
accordance with a ruling that the
equity of owners could be taxed, land
owners on the reclamation project
have been assessed and required to pay
taxes to the county.

HUNDREDS HEAR
MUMCIPALBAND
FRIDAY NIGHT
Crowd Enthusiastic With Its
Applause; Many Auto
Parties Present.

There were three concerts at Gibson
park Friday night, q musical program
by the Great Falls Municipal band, a
blatant chorus of hundreds Of auto
mobile horns and the insistent hum of
millions of mosquitoes. The band was
liked best.
With a repertoire ranging from
classical o%vertures to popular hits of
the modern songland, the municipal
band played Friday night to the biggest
crowd that has assembled in Great Falls
for a long time. That its music was
appreciated there could be no doubt.
Every number was applaudef by the
vigorous honking of automobile horns
"a noise that resembled the echo Of a
Fourth of July celebration. The boys
in the band stand responded to the
applause with encore numbers that won
the favor of the crowd.
Cars Tucked In Everywhere
All around the park and children's
play ground automobiles were parked
closely, the adjoining avenues were lined
with cars, and the park roads were
almost blocked and traffic was sus-
pended during the concert. When the
concert ended it took the motorists
about 10 minutes to ~untangle their cars
from the maze of careless parking.
Cars were tucked in around each other,
using all available space
The sultry atmosphere was cleared
by the diner time rain and the harmony
of the band music was carried far
down through the park. The persons
several blocks away were as liberal
with their applause as were the persons
near the band stand.
Band Players Sacrifices
And all the while the band was play
Ing the youngsters in the play grounds
kept time to the music with their
swinging. There were swarms of chill
dren. Those who weren't swinging,
We're shooting the shoots or playing
leap-frog.
The mosquitos-weIl, rather. But the
boys in the band stand must have all
come from Cuba for they kept playing
when it was easily apparent from the
swarms of mosquitoes seen in the light
of the stand that the exposed necks
of the players were being g~loriously
punctured. The sacrifices of art.

Winter Wheat Stands
More Than Five Feet,
Says Havre Resident

"The winter wheat is standing
more than five feet high In the
vicinity of Havre and crops are
looking great, In comparison to the
several former years." according to
Chief of Police James Moran of
Havre, who passed through Great
Falls Friday night. "The farmers
are starting to cut alfalfa" he de-.
clared.
Chief Moran said that the business
men-bankers, merchants and every
one-are cooperating with the farm
ers in keeping down the grasshop-
pers and worms which work is be-.
ing done by spraying.
THE people of Havre will do most
anything to ave this, the most
valued crop of ALL" declared Chief
Moran. He said that the grain all
the way from Havre to Great Falls
looked in the best of condition. Tho
alfalfa between Helena and Great
Falls is not in as good condition,
he said, but all crops he had seen
are most promising.

ACREACELARCER

SAYS PATTON
Great Falls Man Returns From
Trip Around State; Is
Optimistic.

With an average slightly under that
Of last year but greater than that OF
1915. the high point in Montana crop
production, conditions are uniformly
good throughout eastern Montana. ac-
cording to J. f. Patton Of the Quinn
Stephenson company, who has re-
turned from a trip that included the
high line" Miles City and Billings:
From Harlem east on the high
line the acreage is greater than 1t
has ever BEEN" said Mr.. Patton. I'm
the southeastern part Of the state along
the Northern Pacific. l think the acre
age is slightly under that of last year.
The country east of Harlem had a fair
crop last year and the farmers are IN
good shape for this year. This is re-
Elected in the good acreage in crop.
Rye Acreage Increased
~ find that there is a large increase
in the acreage of rye. probably because
1t was anticipated that it would stand
possible drouth. There is little oats
planted. probably no more than will be
needed to meet the requirements within
the state.
"In only one or two spots did hear

curbed rapidly. poisoned bran being
rushed to the farmers and being used
effectively.
while there was n shortage of poi
son bran for this work when grass

plies have been brought in and there
is every reason for believing that the
loss by grasshoppers will not Re Large.
There is the added aid in the hopper
fight in that there is n wealth of green
stuff on the range. The grasshOppers
are not crowded in the grain fields for
their only food supply. as it has been
at times when the range was dry and
burned out.
Rye Crop Assured
It appears at this time that virtually
the only thing that stands between
the farmer and a crop are hail or in
sect pests. Most of the farmers appear
TO be protected against hail.
The rye crop, now standing about
three feet high and well headed out,
is assured as a crop.
The stockman of the large ranch is
virtually gone. Mr.. Patton said.
ut is undoubtedly the first step to-
ward diversified farming" he said.

the grass being heavy throughout the
state, one is impressed everywhere
with the absence Of any stock to make
use Of it.
How Stock Will Come Back
"In my mind there is but one way
that this range will ever be used eff
fectively, that is. in many parts of the
state will eventually become ranches
of four or five sections. combining the
most effectiae distribution of grain and
hay lands. stock and hog raising. That
is the way that the stock is coming
back.
"Of course, some of the big ranch
companies now firmly established, and
