RAISES FINE FRUIT

John Frederickson brought a branch
of gooseberries last week that any
nursery salesman would be proud
to show when taking orders for his
house. Without exaggeration the
berries measured more than an inch
through and the branch was heavily
loaded. Those who have seen Mr..
Frederickson's garden, say that goose
berries aren't the only kind of fruit
he raises. He has a large variety
of fruit and berries and all of them
of a quality to do Montana proud.

Legion Gives Good Help

Twenty-Five members of the Melvin
Daskam Post Of the American Legion
motored to the storm area early last
Friday morning spending the whole
day there in work on the Redwood
County farms that had been wrecked
by the storm. The group was organ
lied here by Captain Allen Fraser,
the Post Commander, and work on
the field was directed by County Agent
Lynn Sheldon who has been doing
some splendid work as leader of the
rescue forces. Rubbish was cleared
away, temporary hog houses, chicken
houses, etc. erected and machinery
salvaged and repaired in one or two
instances. The work was heavy and
a strain on the men who had not been
accustomed to that sort of labor, but
was undertaken willingly and effect
emily by the Legionaires who were
anxious to give whatever assistance
lay in their power. In the opinion of
several of the men who worked Fri
day, it is labor of just this kind that
is one of the big problems on these
farms right now.
