DR.. Geo. H Barber, Chairman.
Lewis and Clark County Welfare
Association,
Helena, Mont
Dear Mr. Barber:
Helena secured its original start
from mining operations. It's OPP
portunities in the near future are
greater than they have ever been
before, but to realize them Helena
and Lewis and Clark county peo-
pie and the people of Montana
must give the mining men just
square deal and that is all.
The small mining men Of Mon
tana will suffer if this bill is
passed, for they are the ones who
must seek outside investors money
if thoy are to become successful
and growing concerns.
Yours very truly,

THE present agitation and news
paper talk against the mining indus
try has attracted much attention
measure. succeeds, it will be taken
everywhere to mean that eastern
money is not safe in Montana. 1t is
not only that l per cent of the gross
proceeds is bigger than it looks and
may amount to anything from 10 to
100 per cent of the profits; but it is
the whole spirit of the present agita-
ton.
This hostility against the mining
business is the rankest folly. It is
killing the goose that lays the golden
egg. Montana needs eastern morey
for its mines. and there are scores
Of good mines lying idle, for lack
of it.
GAS it is even now. the mines OF
Montana are the farmers best friend.
When a mine starts up in the noun
tains. the ranchers in the nearby
valley begin to make money There
is a Iocal market for them. There
is a place for them and their boys to
work when they can be spared from
tie farms, and to get good pay.
Every additional mine in the noun
tains means increased prosperity to
the ranchers of the neighbors val
legs 1t is the mines that pay off
the mortgages"

such revival should this proposed

reality as no one cares to invest

sary in the development of pros

an overwhelming tax burden
when he begins to realize his

On the face of it. this proposed

we find the heavy taxes paid out

that Of large part of humanity.

.HERRI0T WILLING TO
QUIT RUHR WITHIN
II MONTHS IT'S SAID
French Premier Not Ready to
Evacuate Occupied Industrial
Area of Germany Now
OBSTACLE IS PRESENTED
Whole Work Of Conference is
Held Up While Delegates
Discuss Vexed Situation

LONDON, August 10. = The
Ruhr evacuation question is being
threshed out between German and
allied delegates in private inter-
views. Premier Herriot is under
stood to be willing for the eyacu-
alton within IL months.
While M. Herriot is supposed to
have returned from Paris with au-
thority to agree to the Ruhr evacua-
ton within eleven months, the
question of when evacuation will
begin and the details Of its execu-
ton, including the desire of the
French and Belgians, English and
Germans before the conference can
proceed in a definite way with the
program for instituting the Dawes
plan.
Reports from all three commit
tees of the conference have been
agreed to in principle, but the jur-
lists are busy studying and editing
the protocols, which are not yet
in final form. The opinion now
seems general in conference cir
cles that the outcome will be def
nitely settled by Thursday or Fri
day, and the majority opinion is
decidedly optimistic respecting the
results.
The Preparations conference has
finally shaken itself down to the
difficult question Of the Ruhr
evacuation and the leaders are at
tempting in private interviews to
effect settlement Of this acute
political problem, which really IS
not on the agenda of the confer
ence.
NJ. Herriot, the French premier,
had long interview today with, DIR.
Stresenlann, the German foreign
minister. Chancellor Marx and DR..
Stresemann called on II. Theunis,
the Belgian premier, and the lead
ing German delegates also confer
red with Ramsay Macdonald, the
British prime minister.

NOW IS TIME To
PLAN FINISHING
'Hogging Down Crops Shown
By Experiments to Be Valu-
able Method. Says Marshall

Now is lifetime for the farmer to
consider how he is going to finish
his hogs this fall, and what method
of feeding he is going to practice.
Careful experiments have shown
that hogging down crops is an eco
nimical method Of fattenng hogs.
The average of sixt trials where
hogs were fed ear corn and tankage
or wheat middlings in dry lot COM
pared with hogging down corn,
shows that the hogs in dry lot gain
ed $50 pounds per pig per day ana
required 51I pounds Of feed per 100
pounds gain, while the hogs thaJ
were allowed to gather their feed
gained 1859 pounds per pig per daN
and required only 478 pounds OF
feed per 100 pounds gam. When
the crop is removed much of tho
fertilizer value is lost but when it
is grazed about three-fourths of the
plant food is returned to the soil,
according to George 0. Marshall,
county farm demonstration agent,
A great many farmers make the
mistake Of not balancing the ration
When corn is to be hogged down it
is always advisable to grow some
supplemental feed along with tina
corn. Soybeans and velvet beans
are our best crops for this purpose.
In the case Of corn and soybeans
the hogs will balance their ration
fairly well, but in the case Of velvet
beans, the hogs may eat the corn
first and leave the beans alone to
be grazed later. In this case some
of the corn may be gathered and
fed 10 the hogs later. If the hogs
are given free access to a mineral
mixture, feeding value will be added
to these crops. 1t is possible in
Georgia to arrange forage crops 50
that hogs may be turned on the
fields for a period Of time and turn
ed out later ready for the market
without having been handled a
single day during the entire finish-
ing period, ~~.xasss,.l
