T1TOlN the Fall ofI9a3 an odd form Of calamity befd
q FL New York City. II was not an "Act of God"
Fire, food or famine did not threaten. There
was neither rumor ofwar nor suggestion ofriot.
The weather was friendly, the public health
"a 81 good, transportation was uninterrupted and
business moved moothly-yetinto this peaceful picture
there suddenly descended a kind Of community paralysis
that filed multitudes with dismay. Hadi it not passed as
swiftly as it came, it would be hard to calculate its con-
sequences, but even its few days of duration cost mill
lions Of dollars. More than this, it revealed IN a some
what startling way the degree to which all the activities
of a great city were dependent on a commodity which
most people had taken unthinkingly, as a matter Of
course.
What had happenedl Merely that for the first time in two centuries
New York found itself without its usual newspapers. A press room
stnke had halted their publication.
While most people had been aware Of a controversy between pub
ushsrs and employees, ithad generally been r~egardedin the casualway
Ua which one is apt to view the affairs Of others until, on a certain
~, it became suddenly and dsressngy personal On that day there
~ no paper on the doorstep. The newsstands we're unnarraHy bare.
Commuters were driven to watching familiar landscapes as their
trains rushed city-ward instead Of renewing their contacts with the
happenings of the four continents. The world seemed strangely out

JULY'S RAINFALL
ONE HALF TO inch
below NORMAL
Eastern Part Of State Hard Hit
by DrOuth and Heat-Ranges
Show 7-POint Drop

HELENA-Rainfall in Montana in
July averaged from Cne-haf to one
inch below normal, according to the
records of Jay G.. Diamond, agricul-
tural statistician. Only small areas,
such as around LewistOwn and Hell
ena, received normal or better pre-
cipitation. Lack cf moisture, with
high temperatures in the eastern end
Of the state, made further inrOads
on short water supplies in that sec
ton.
Over the western half, MI. Dia-
mOnd says, lower ranges and hay
crops are relatively good except in
District No. /; higher ranges are
furnishing ample feed. Some cattle
have already moved to market from
scattered eastern localities due to the
feed situation. Ranges for the most
part have started to cure with a
prospect of a somewhat earlier curing
than average August weather. Com
pared with a month ago ranges for
the state show a decline of about
seven points; while cattle show a
drop Of three, and sheep a drop Of
two points compared with a month
ago.
Ranges 800.
On August 1 the condition of ranges
for the state as a whole was placed
at 81 per cent of a normal, compared
with SO for last month, 81 last year,
and SO per cent on August 1, 1924.
Continued dry weather, combined with
extremely high temperatures during
the month, contributed to the general
decline of both ranges and livestock.
Considering all things the situation
Is still quite satisfactory. Condition
of ranges and the general feed sup
ply T good in the western half of
the state but poor in the eastern
portion.
Cattle
August 1 condition Of cattle was
placed at SO per cent of a normal,
compared with 1O1 a month ago, log
year ago., and 1O1 for the same
period in 1924. Cattle On summer
ranges have made excellent gains in
the western and south central Sec
lions Of the state, although livestock
IN the eastern portion is beginning to
show the effects of water and feed
shortages. Considering the situation
as a whole, it is not unsatisfactory.
Some cattle have moved to market
from the drought stricken e due
to lack of feed.
Sheep
While showing a 2-point drop from
last months average, sheep are still
maintaining a condition above normal
Condition on August 1 was 1O1 per
cent Of a normal, compared with 1Os
a month ago, 1O8 a year ago. and 1O2
on August 1, 1924. Some sheep have
already moved out Of the east cen.
tral district, due to feed shortage
On the whole the situation is not un.
satisfactory.

PRACTICES IN
WINTER WHEAT

With the increased planting OF
Karmont and Montana SO va
~rieties of winter wheat, higher
yields are being consistently
produced in the six central Mon
tana counties, according to J. c.
Taylor, director of the Montana
Extension service. The abandon
ment of winter wheat is reported
to be far less this year than in
1925. This is attributed to the
increased use of the furrow drill
which reduces winter killing and
soil blowing, together with the
use of better varieties.
The six central Montana coun-
ties of Teton, Cascade, Chouteau,
Fergus, Judith Basin and Pom
dera, will harvest approximately
10000, 900 bushels this year as
compared to 1900 900 bushels in
In these same sections OBJ
servers report a rapid improve
ment in tillage methods and a
widespread adoption of recently
developed and improved tillageH
implements. The area of summer

Winter wheat has become an
important crop in Roosevelt
county, although the area aban-
doned each year is still consid-
cred too large. Improved prsc-
tees such as the use of furrow
drill, the use of improved hardy
varieties and early seeding, can
overcome the abandonment to a
great extent and will doubtless
increase yields.-A. w. Warden,
