GALLATIN QUOTA
FOR JAPAN RELIEF
Red Cross Asks County for Fifteen
Hundred Dollars. Part of This Has
Been Raised by Voluntary COntri-
buttons. Candy Sales to Help
Balance.

The quota allotted to Gallatin
county by the Red Cross for the Jap
anese relief fund is 81 800. This rep
resents Gallatin's part of the $5,O00,-
600 to be raised for Japanese relief in
the United States, and the request
for the local quota came to the Gala
tin chapter of the American Red
Cross.
If it can be avoided there will be
no regular drive to raise this money.
A large part of it is expected to be
subscribed from voluntary contribu-
tions and the remainder will be made
up by candy sales and similar de-
vices for raising money. Manager
McCune, of the Rialto theater, has
generously offered to contribute one
fourth of the revenues of the theater
on Friday or this purpose. The play
given on Friday will be "The Soul of
the Beast"
A homemade candy sale will be
conducted in the offices Of the Mon
tana Power company on Friday and
Saturday Of this week. Another de-
vice for small funds is the placing of
q voluntary contribution box in front
Of the theaterS, where people can de-
posit their small change or any
amount they wish.
Mrs. R. E. Brown is president of
the local Red Cross chapter, and Mrs
Fred l. Power secretary, and these
two women have charge of the local
campaign. Mrs. Brown wants it dis
tinctly understood that every cent
collected in Gallatin county will be
turned over to the Red Cross intact
for the local Red Cross chapter, il
common with sister chapters over the
country, makes no charge for collect
ing amounts Of this nature.
Every effort is being made to hav,
the full quota in by Saturday night
as the local Red Cross people have hac
word from division headquarters tha
the money must be available at tha
time.
1t present the fund amounts t
S39S.45, and this has all ben raise,
by voluntary contributions.
The rapidity with which Americ
has rallied to the relief of the unfor
tunate Japanese nation is being re
marked on all over the world an
should do more than anything in his
tory to cement the friendship of tn
two nations and forever bury the bug
bear Of war in the Pacific.

In the different wheat sections of
the valley the summer fallowed land
is already showing the green sheen of
the growing winter wheat and hun
dreds of acres of this newly planted
grain is already making its appear
ance. In other fields men are work
ing drills and seeders overtime to
take advantage of the ideal condi-
tions Of the summer fallowed ground.
Despite the fact that the roads are
dusty and the newly cut wheat fields
are dry, the summer fallow has an un-
usual amount of moisture in it this
year, due to the late August rains.
Even last week farmers plowing in
! their irrigating bitches preparatory to
cutting spring grain remarked about
the unusual amount of moisture in
the soil for this season, especially
when there have been no rains within
recent weeks.
The fall grain that is coming up
looks fine and is a particularly even
and vigorous stand.
Threshing is progressing we'll in
the valley, the unusual run of dry
weather favoring long hours and few
delays for the different crews. In
the country north of Belgrade, where
the winter wheat is the chief grain
crop, great deal of the threshing is
already done. The same is true Of
the other winter wheat sections in
the Anceney country and other dry
land regions. Most of the winter
grain is already in the bins and ma
jOrity of the outfits are now working
on spring grain.
: There is diversity in the reports
, of yields. Some farmers claim their
grain is going heavier by ten bushels
than the average in a normal year,
while on the other hand others claim
{ about the same shortage of grain
Taken as a whole the grain in the
valley seems to be better than it has
been for. some years past. A great
deal of spring grain was badly lodged
: due to the rain and high winds in
. August and this condition naturally
. makes for smaller yields due to waste
in cutting and gathering the grain.
Marquis wheat seems to be of un-
usually fine quality this year. The
. wet weather and cool days in August
8 were ideal for the proper filling out
. Of the wheat berries and in places
!. where for the last two years but two
: rows of kernals have graced the
: stalks there are three and in many in
!. stances four rows of kernals on the
: heads. There is little shrivelled graiI
8 this year. The cause of common
!. shrinkage the last few years has beer
|. the hot winds in August, which caus,
the berries to ripen too rapidly. This
condition was not present this yeal
and unusually fine wheat has been th'
} result.
Where farmers cut their alfalf;
early for the first crop and wher,
s there was ample irrigating water th'
It third crop is now being harvested

Attention is called to the annual
call for bids on bridge plank, pub,
ished in another column of this pa
per. The county commissioners an.
nually place these contracts for
bridge plank among the lumbermen
Of the county, and as a rule they are
taken up with owners of small mills
IN some of the canyons. This has
proved fertile source of revenue for
many small mill owners, for not only
do the bridge planls bring in fair
return for the labor involved, but in
addition many feet of dimension stuff
are always by-product to be count
ed on.

FROST HITS VALLEY
DOES LITTLE DAMAGE.

The first definite frost of
the season visited the valley
last night, but as it was rather
light, it did little harm. Most
OF the grain is already cut; in
deed a good per cent of it is
threshed, and save for a few
belated crops even a severe
frost would do little harm to
the more valuable crops. In
! Bozeman frost was scarcely
: noticeable, and over the val
: ley the area that the frost
: struck was very spotted. Even
; where white frost was visible
: this morning it was not enough
; to damage even the garden
crops.
: The minimum temperature
: at the college last night was
: 80 degrees, but at that several
: Bozeman people report ice
: forming last night.
