MONTANA WEATHER
And CROP REPORT

Practically the entire state has been
favored with good rains and showers
during the latter half of Nav. which
has improved crop conditions gener-
ally, according to a report issued bv
the Montana Cooperative Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service. Con-
tinued cool weather has not permitted
maximum growth, but such conditions
especially have favored termination
and stooling of wheat. Recent rains
have relieved the dry area in the ter
ritory along the Canadian line from
Cut Bank to Poplar, with a few ex-
cepted localities. Crops are farthest
advanced in the three northwestern
counties and along the Yellowstone
Valley toward the eastern part of the
state
Grasshoppers are Matching out in
multitudes in all sections of the state,
and have begun to damage crops in
the northcentral district already. The
hopper menace is causing much IN
easiness, and while poison campaigns
against the hopper are started, there
are some sections where it is feared
that this method cannot control them
at a reasonable cost.
Winter wheat is improved and MAX
ing fair growth, but still is in poor
condition. Abandonment has continued
throughout May, and the fields reseed-
ed to spring wheat and to other crops,
or will be summerfallOwed. The crop
is uneven in respect to both stands and
to growth. It's condition is best in the
northwestern and sOuthcentral dis
tricts with few excepted localities, and
poorest in the northcentral and north
ern portions of the state. Many fields
are very weedy, as the crop has not
advanced rapidly enough to overcome
the weeds.
Rye remains generally in poor
shape, as the bulk of the rye acreage
is in the northumberland northeastern
! districts, where there has not been
sufficient moisture. In other sections
it is reported to be doing well, altho
rather late.
Spring wheat seeding has continued
throughout May due to the late spring
labor shortages, and to some extent tc
late abandonment of winter wheat
fields. The condition Of this crop is
good, as there has been sufficient mois-
ture for uniform termination, early
growth, and stOOling, in practically al
districts.
Oats and barley are mostly seeded
under favorable conditions of moisture
and weather.
Flax is being seeded, and should
terminate quickly and uniformly. A
very little early fax was caught in
mid-mOnth by the freeze.
Corn planting continues, but most OF
the crop is seeded. Some early plant
ings are up, but he weather has been
tool cool for the normal development
of the corn.

eros Ventre were camped on Bear
creek, just below where Fort Aassin-
nlbome now stands. These Indians al
ways had plenty of good horses and
were we'll armed with Henry rifles
that had just been manufactured.
After the Sioux and Aassinniboines
had feast and council they started
for the trail. From the place where
they started on Snake Creek it was
not much more than 60 miles, accord
ing to the route they were compelled
to take, to Beaver creek.
"Some of the Sioux and Aassinni-
BONES were mounted, while others
were on foot. There were number of
women in the party. One of these
women still lives at Poplar. She is
the widow of the late Jacob Wirth.
Flying Shield also was in the party.
He still lives and is great friend of
the agency Office in Poplar.
"The scouts who had been sent out
by the Sioux and Aassiniboines dis
covered the camp of the eros Ventures
on Beaver creek at a point known as
Bull Hook, south of the present city
of Havre. After the scouts returned
with their report it was planned to
attack the eros Ventre camp at night.
The Sioux and AassinibOines run off
the horses belonging to the Gros Ven
tres and then fired into their camp.
No one was injured. The eros Ven
tres picked up their horses and soon
were on the trail of the enemy, run
ming them like buffalos. The eros
Ventures being much better armed than
the Sioux soon made quick work of
killing number of the Sioux and
Aassiniboines, and retaking nearly all
of their. horses. 1t was a great victory
for the eros Ventures.
"After returning to camp with a
large number of scalps they had the
time of their lives for three or four
days dancing the scalp dance.
cit was a pitiful sight to watch the
Sioux and AassinibOines returning
with their wounded into Red Stones
camp. The squaws wept, cut off their
hair, and also cut off the first joints
of their little fingers. Dogs hOwled
and the old bucks sang their war
songs. He'll certainly was popping.
Don't you think we had better
start for the post l said to my IA
Their.
No, my boy he replied, they
won't bother us. We will remain and
see the whole affair through
When the old warriors went to the
battlefield in search of their sons and
other relatives they found their scalps
gone and their bodies quartered like
an antelODe. 1t was a fight the Indi-
ans will always remember"

JOSEPH CUBERTSON, FAMED IN
DIAN SCOUT dies AT POPLAR

Poplar.-JOseph Culbertson, one of
the best known pioneers of the FO t
Peck Indian reservation, died here at
the home of George Abbott. Death
came to the veeran of many frontier
fights after an illness which he had
been fighting several months.
With the passing of Joseph Culbert-
son, who for years was stationed here
as an Indian police, Eastern Montana
loses a unique character of no little
historic interest. Born at Peoria. I'll.
on January 81, 1856, and taking up his
residence in Montana at an early ape.
the old scout passed through some of
the most stirring times witnessed in
the conquest of the west When only
10 he entered the government service
and served under General Baldwin and
General Miles with great credit as
chief scout in several campaigns. His
exploits as an army scout are gener-
ally known in the pages of Montana
history.
During his long and active life on
the Fort Peck Indian reservation he
spent practically all his time in the
employ of the government in various
capacities. Before being confined in
the hospital by his last illness he was
stationed at Franzer as an agency en-
ploye.
Shortly before his death he told of
one of his early day experiences in
Montana as follows:
always will l remember a trip I
made with my father in 1872 to the
camp of old Chief Red Stone who then
was camped on Snake creek, where in
1877 Chief Joseph, one of the greatest
Indian generals and fighters that ever
roamed the plains of Montana fought
and surrendered to General Miles in
1877.
"Little did I believe when on this
trip with my father that l would af-
terward become one of General Miles
scouts. In 1877 my father was a close
friend of Chief Red Stone and we had
gone to Snake Creek for visit with
the chief and his people, the Aassin-
nibOnes, who always had been friendly
with the whites, and also for buffalo
hunt.
"While we were in Red Stones
camp a war party numbering about
$50 Sioux Indians came from the Mis-
souri, river en- route to the Bear Paw
mountains in search for their enemy,
the eros Ventre Indians, who made
their hunting grounds on Beaver creek
and in the Bear Paw mountains.
"This war party of Sioux Indians
raised the blood of the young Aassin-
niboines, the fighting men of old Chief
Red Stone, and they joined the Sioux
on the war path. At this time the

HAIL INSURANCE
APPLICATIONS
COMING In

Assessor Aspelund reports that ap-
p,ations for State Hail Insurance are
commencing to come in at this time
and he expects that by the 18th they
viii be coming in at the rate of 25 to
30 each day.
A great many additional features
we're added to the law since last year,
in that tenants, renters. hOmesteaders
etc.. can now insure with the state by
giving a crop lien for the insurance.
This also applies to persons who are
more than one year delinquent on the
hail insurance applications which now
have been mailed to 1900 farmers in
this County. Heretofore, where a
renter wanted to insure he would have
70 obtain the owners written consent
before the Assessor was permitted to
issue the insurance policy. This
equally applied to owners of land I'M
der Contract for Deed, etc. and home
seaders were not permitted to insure
unless they paid for the insurance in
cash at the maximum rate of 9 per
cent.
Another splendid feature that has
been added to the State Hail Insur-
ance this year is that the maximum
rate which can be charged is 8 per
cent, and insurance will be carried up
to $1,000 per acre, so that the most
farmer will have to pay in the fu-
ture is so cents per acre. Sheridan
County wrote more hail insurance in
1922 than any other County in Mon
tana and it is equally certain that this
County will hold this record in 1928.
Heretofore loss claims had to be re-
ported at once, but the farmer now
has three days after the loss in which
to send in his loss report.
= Another feature which is of equal
Importance is that the 1923 legisla-
Iure passed a law exempting hail in
surance loss claims under State Hail
insurance from punishment, levy, ex-
eTSlons' court actions, and so on.
