10, respectively. The farm labor stu.
alton in the state is serious one, as
so many farmers do not have money
to hire necessary help. Then too, much
of the floating type Of labor has prov
ed to be very inefficient. Wages in
terms Of farm products are extremely
high.
General Conditions: The crop out
look for the state was improved ma
terially In March by frequent SHOWS
which covered the entire state, but
were heavier in the mountain, central,
south central, and through counties
adjoining Wyoming in the southeast.
The soil received fun benefit from
March precipitation, as there was little
frost In the ground, and the moisture
seeped into the soil, until now soil
moisture Is sufficient over most of the
state to insure geed start OF crops
and grasses. The counties west of the
Divide however, are short of soil mois-
ture while the reserves are reported
low In the north central counties and
In parts of others north of the Mis-
souri, river.

Shooting the Dry Forks well near
Conrad would make 1t a small cem-
mercial well at 2,746 feet, according
to N. F. Jameson, geologist and en-
gineer. He said that there was a very
nice showing Of oil In sand which Is
apparently 30 feet thick. They have
drilled about 700 feet into the line"
said Mr.. Jamison, land If cross-sec-
tions check up with examinations !
have made Of that district, the lime
should be about $50 feet thick, which
means that they will strike the De
vonian at about $500 feet, as the oil
was found last week at about 2,74O

parafine base. considerable lubricating

Milestone was thrown into a new
excitement by news that both oil and
gas were coming up from within the
casing of Ragged Point well. James
Fealey, in charge Of the we'll since the
close OF operations just before Christ
mas, with his assistants, removed
string of drill stem that had been left |
suspended In the hole over winter, and |
following this gas pressure was re- /
leased the noise from which left no |
doubt as to Its source Since then gas /
has steadily risen through the several
hundred feet Of mud In the hole and
has been accompanied by oil in small
but unmistakable quantity.
The first oil refinery for western
Montana is announced by c. w. Hart
OF Hodges to be built on a site four
miles east of Missoula, where a site
has been secured. and the new pro-
posed industry is being promoted here.
Materials for the refinery are now on
the way TO Missoula and 1t is expected
thas the crude oil shipments will start
within two weeks. A special rate has
been guaranteed by the Milwaukee,
which will haul crude oil at 30-cent
tariff from the Winnett wells to the
Nissoula refinery.

CROP OUTLOOK FOR
YEAR REPORTED BETTER
Soil Moisture More Satisfactory Than
Usual and Farmers VIII
Get Earlier start

Winter wheat in the state Is In much
better shape than year ago, and Ii

growth under quite favorable condl.
lions, while prospects for rye are less
favorable, but still much better than
in the spring of 1923, as shown in the
April crop report issued by George A.
Scott of the Montana Cooperative
crop reporting service. The number
of breeding sows on hand In the state
exceeds the number last spring by a
large margin. Soil moisture conditions
are more satisfactory than usual In
most districts, and 1t appears that
farmers win generally get an earlier
start with field work than they have
for the last two years, which will
partially relieve the handicap Of the
adverse farm labor situation.
Winter Wheat: Prospects for WIN
ter wheat look encouraging with the
cop having a condition rating of 49,
The condition last December 1, was
80, a year ago It was Il, and the ten
year average on April / has been 81.
Much of the area was seeded late last
fall, but soil moisture conditions were
quite favorable in the principal cOun
ties. Snow covering has been very
light over most Of the fields during
the past winter, and there has been
a great deal Of alternate thawing and
freezing, and little injury from soil
blowing; but the apparent total injury4
to the crop has not been serious.
Freezing and thawing In March was
considered unfavorable although most |
OF the fields were under a blanket OF |
wet snow during greater part of the
month, and 1t is probable that the
benefit Of the additional moisture VIII |
more than compensate for the injury /
sustained In March.
Rye: The condition of rye on April
/ Is SO per cent of normal, compared
to "a last December. to p a year ago.
and to 80, the average for the ten-year
period on April 1. Rye was seeded
last fall under less favorable condl-
lions generally than winter wheat.
The winter has not been favorable
until the March SHOWS came, which
we're very beneficial. Stands are ex-
pected to be uneven. Rye has been all
but discontinued as a cash crop, due
10 the very low market prices for the
past three years.

pdA 10 VI bAAC NOuAN1
Arriving Wednesday on the liner
America. the athletes were given a
reception by the city and were then
officially discharged by Col. Robert
NJ. Thompson. president OF the
American Olympic committee.
Keep in shape, boys, work hard
and Wen all be together again in
1928" Colonel Thompson said when
he was taking leave of the athletes.
Outbreaks Incidental
Oficials Of the team and the ath-
letes expressed the opinion that the
Olympic games were in no danger
as a result OF some Of the outbreaks
in Paris. They said the games were
too big to be hurt by a little poor
craftsmanship and they felt sure
Amsterdam would have just as many
teams and just as many athletes as
were entered at Paris.
American officials were assured
before leaving Paris that Amster-
dam would be able TO organize and
conduct the 1918 games. The Am
sterdam committee has not raised
any funds, but the Holland officials
gave assurance they would be able
to get the necessary money.
May Demand Evidence
The international committee init
mated the Amsterdam committee
would have to submit evidence in
two years that the games would be
properly organized and conducted, or
Los Angeles would be nominated.
California officials, however. OBJ
jected to the possibility Of being
named as a late pinch hitter, claim
ing that 1t would take them four
years to perfect their own organiza-
ton.
Most of the American athletes will
jump right back into training for
the national championships. The
majority of them are college stu
dents and many Of them are star
football players who will get right
back into the grind of training.
