SAYS CONDITIONS
BAD IN CALIFORNIA

Big Timber Pioneer: Charles Gel
Iers, brother of Mrs. H. o. Kellogg.
inc wife drove in Thursday from Los
Ange'e s, Calf. and visited n dav
at the Kellogg home. Friday they
left for Christine, Mont, where they
own a ranch, leased for three years,
and later expect to make their home
! Lewistown. During their stay in
California Mr.. Cellers took a course
IN garage work and expects to engage
IN that business at Lewistown until
the lease on his ranch expires.
Conditions in Los Angeles, they re.
port, are bad. There are 10000 men,
bers of the building crafts idle. Tour
lists are held there by the foot and
mouth quarantine, many of them
worse than broke, and all who will
agree to get out of town are given
10 gallons of gas and S. in currency.
The Cellers car and occupants were
dlsInfected three times before they
got out of California. At one place
a disinfecting powder was burned on
a bridge I'VE which cars passed, and
at another a frame tunnel had been
erected for cars to go through, the
d~isinfection taking place as they
passed.
At one point they found a tourist
who wanted a loan of S25. He was q
stranger and, of course, did not get
it. Then he wanted to sell a ladies
wrist watch for that amount. That
request was also denied. Then hi
asked permission to travel with them
and for three days they had to handle
the stranded man and a broken dowr
car. Finally a town was reached anC
they lost him.
Mr.. Cellers believes the foot am
mouth determination Of animals is be
ing %overdone. Many, ranging in val
ue from $40 to 1925 per head, arr
being killed without cause.
Thursday night the Cellers car, car
rying all the family had with it, wa:
looted in the rear of the Kellogg
home. Bedding and valises were
broken into, silk stockings and und
erwear taken, and even a small guam
tity of coffee in a thermos bottle wa
drunk.

Gus and affect every annual crop
grown.
Measurements made in fields of
small grain indicate that the crop gain
in the protected zone is sufficient to
offset fully the effects of shading AMI
sapping. In a wheat field protected
by a dense windbreak the gain amount,
ed to about 10 bushels per acre where
the protection was complete, and
gradually grew less as the distance
from the windbreak increased. The
total gain was about equal to the
amount of grain which could have
been grown on the shaded ground
near the trees.
The corn crops showed more con-
sistent and marked benefits from pro-
lection than any others. Height mea-
surements on n field showed the
plants TO be Az feet high in the first
10 rows next to the w~indbreak, while
beyond this protected zone the height
was only 2h feet. The field showed
a production of SO bushels per acre
in the protected zone and only Al
bushels in the exposed zone.
With ordinary field crops the farm
er may count on a benefit from WIND
break protection which will make the
loss of the area occupied by the trees
negligible. Under middle western CON
ditions a windbreak whose width doe
not exceed two or three times III
height will more than pay for tse
| regardless of the timber which may
be produced.

WINDBREAKs GIVE PROTECTION
AND MAKE FARM PLEASANT

Windbreaks are, in more ways than
one, a farm asset and every farm
should have its windbreak. They
tend to prevent the soil from drying
out quickly and they protect grain and
orchards from mechanical injury by
the wind. A belt of trees by the farm
buildings protects them from extreme
winter cold and summer heat, and
makes the farm a pleasanter place IN
which to live. The windbreaks may
also be a source of wood supply for
use on the farm or for sale.
The effect of a windbreak may not
always be beneficial to a crop near by,
depending upon the crop. Whether
the total effect of a w~indbreak is good
or bad, however, depends upon whether
the benefits derived from its influence
on wind movement, temperature, and
evaporation are greater or less than
the injury resulting from the sapplng
and shading of the ground near Dy'
To determine the total effect, crop
measurements have been made by the
United States department Of agricui-
ture in Nebraska, Kansas. Iowa, an
Minnesota. Average rather than ex'
ceptional conditions were measured

sHs.=s8SSt st.feW
Naval Observatory Astronomer
Studies Asteroids" Wan
derers Of Space.

George n. Peters. Of the United
States Naval Observatory at Wash
ington, has found his lost world.
Only ten miles or 80 in diameter
and with a surface hardly larger
than a good sized cattle ranch. this
truant of the asteroids has been
missing since 1908. A short time
ago it bobbed up Unexpectedly and
then went on It's way again.
Prof. Peters spends hours every
clear night with his eyes at the
telescope, studying the asteroids.
They are tiny worlds, all Of them,
some little more than stardust. For
twenty-nine years, Prof. Peters has
lived nightly among these tiniest
occupants Of space. AS a result,
he probably knows more about
| their ways than any other living
man.
Some of the 1000 or more min
iature worlds grouped under the
term asteroids were originally dis.
covered by Prof. Peters. One Of
| those which he discovered he
| named Washington, In honor OF his
residence city. Another, and small
er one. be named Anacostia, the
local name by which residents OF
Washington refer to a part of, the
southeast section Of the Capital
City.
Prof. Peters has measured and
weighed many of these little cous
ms Of the planets. He also has
made other computations concern
ing them and the force Of gravity
which they exert. AS a result Of
his computations, he estimates tina
If q 175-pound man were suddenl!
