WINTER GRAZING
IS NOW IN VIEW
MUCH FEED REMAINS UNTOUCHED IN
SOME OF THE NATIONAL FORESTS
SAYS DISTRICT INSPECTOR
Custer, jefferson and Madison Forests
Particularly We'll Supplied With Grass
According to Thomas LOmmassOn Who
Has just Returned to MissOula

Because great quantities of feed re-
main untouched on the ranges in GER
tain of the national forests, the United
States forest service will issue winter
grazing permits this fall. Thomas LOm-
mason, district inspector of grazing,
announced recently in MissOula. This
is the first season that permits to range
cattle on the national forests during
the winter have been issued for many
years.
'This has been an exceptional grass
wear everywhere" MIR. LOmmaSSOn de-
clared. In all Of the national forests the
usual number of cattle and sheep were
ranged, but the grass crop was so ex-
ceptionally heavy this year that consid-
erable feed remains after the regula,
grazing season. The Custer forest and
the jefferson and Madison forests are
particularly well stocked with feed this
fall"
with plenty of feed during the sum-
mer, and with their range stock holding
the highest price levels on the eastern
markets, the stock raisers of the east
ern and southern parts Of the state art
enjoying an exceptionally prOsperOu
wear, Mr.. LommaSSon said "BuSines
men in the vicinity of the Jefferson for
/ est tell me that business is better ther
/ this fall than it has been at any tim
since the high prices Of the war brough
an unwonted prosperity to the cattle AM
! sheepmen," Mr.. Lommasson stated.
The grass crop on the ranges this sea
son was twice as heavy as in 1926, &C
cording to the survey made by MIR. Lom
mason. The ordinary numbers of cattl
= and sheep were grazed on all the fores
lands, and at the conclusion Of the regU
lar grazing season, the ranges renal
with a greater amount Of feed than OF
dinarily.
Mr.. Lommasson recently returned fror
the Madison, jefferson, and Custer fol
ests, where he was engaged in expert

In a recent issue of the Youths Com

automobile, the inspiration of Clarence
Long of Helena. Everything from a
bedspring frame to a Ford steering
wheel has gone into the construction
Of this cycle car and the young man
has shown ingenuity and resOurceful-
ness in the construction of such a
vehicle.
Young Long tells Of the building of
the car in the following story:

bedspring. The front Of the chassis is
about 1 inches wide and the read "a

Quality of potatoes in MOntana's
commercial areas will be exceptional
this year, according to Edward Dickey,
chief of the state division of hOrticul-
ture.
Melted Gems in the Kalispel territory
are showing a field run finer as to shape
Chan any ever produced there. Because
harvesting in that district was delayed by
wet weather, the potatoes were allowed
more time to mature and for this reason
table stock should be Of exceptionally
fine quality, says Mr.. Dickey. There are
very few cases of second growth and very
lew ul-shapen tuberS. Most fields were
planted late and passed over the dry
July period without a setback so that
when the August rains started, the tubers
continued growing instead Of taking sec
ond growth.
| Seed stock is in fine shape and having
been grown on nonirrigated land should
be in good demand in the irrigated dis
tricts of Washington.
! Warehouses, Mr.. Dickey says, are fast
being filled to full storage capacity. The
| two warehouses at KaliSpel1 at this time
| probably contain over $50 carloads OF
potatoes ready to be loaded out whenever
the market looks favorable or the growers
care to ship.

Commenting on the low potato marke

Members of the Montana congress
siOnaI delegation are being urged by
good roads enthusiasts in this state to
support a movement to double the an
nual appropriation of $4,500, 900 for the
construction of standard roads in the
national forests of the nation,
The Montana Automobile association,
at it's meeting last month, endorsed the
plan and the proposition is soon to be
laid before the Montana association of
commercial organization secretaries for
action. The delegation will be supported
strongly.
In submitting the plea for increased
appropriation for federal forest roads
the delegation will be furnished data
showing that Montana has 1,183 miles of
routes through the forests only 178 miles
Of which have been improved, 146 miles
graded and 656 unimproved. The mile
age on federal aid highways is Sill OF
which 178 miles have been built. In
other words the forest roads are not
keeping pace with state highway con-
Struction.
! The estimated cost Of completing the
total forest highway system in Montana
| is $13,418,892 and Montana's allotment
annually is only $350,000. A large par

ceipts which have been considerably un-
