If ever hard luck doggeG a roller hockey team, it was camped com- fortably on the heels Of the New Britain players last night as the home club dropped the first game ln the championship playoff series, to Waterbury by the score Of 5 to 4. With the ball rolling against them n the game, New Britain came through to make Waterbury travel at top speed. The greatest blow to he hopes Of the Hardware City quintet came as Alexander and Boucher between them, shot in four goals that came out. During the contest Waterbury had one Of this variety.

Aided hY the spectacular goal tending Of George Rayer, former member of the Holyoke roller | hockey team in the American league, the Nash quintet in the New Britain Automobile league last night broke its jinX and toppled the strong Pontiac team headed by Captain Dill in the preliminary 10 the New Brit ain- Waterbury game at the Stanley Arena. The quintet which sports the maroon uniforms were on the long end Of q 8 10 score. The game was whirlWind from start 10 finish. Little scoring was in order during the night owing to the strict defense put up by both teams. Heinzmann, Pontiac goal guardian, also put up great game in keeping the Nash shots out of the nets.
 The winning goal for the Nash team was fiuke scored by Corhctt halfback. He drove the ball down the floor from beside his own cage and it hoped against three sets of skates before it took a capricious turn and landed in the Pontiac goal for a score. This was the last point of the game and gave the Nash team the required margin of victory.
 Dill started things humming in hectic first period by getting the onl-r goal Of the frame. After play ing the ball to and fro in nice har- mony with Newell, he faked q drive and scooped the ball past Bayer. He again showed plenty of stuff in the second stanza by getting another before the Nash team scored. Then Hall came through to poke one by Heinzman for the first Nash point of the game.
 Starting the third period, both teams fought ferccly but after q time, Hall again broke loose to score another. Then came Corbetts shot that decided the issue.
 Casperlnl of the Nash team was hit on the head during the game and was forced 10 retire but he re- turned in the third period to play nice game. The summary:

PONDERA FIELD
TO HAVE POWER
OIL RIGS IN CONRAD AREA WILL, RI
ABLE TO OPERATE WITH
ELECTRICITY

Drilling rigs in the Pondera oil field,
10 miles southwest of Conrad, will In
all probability be powered with cleo
tricity within the next month, 1t VISA
recently by Frank Scotch,
district manager of the Montana Power
company. A survey is now being run
for the extension Of a branch power
line that would tie into the line rum
ming between ChOteau and Conrad and
IL Q n decision to undertake the
project is reached, construction of the
branch will be completed within 80
days.
To serve the field, a branch line sew
eral miles in length would be necessary,
and at the field terminus methods would
be devised of extending temporary ex-
tensions to drilling rigs. With electric
power available, motors would replace
steam boilers and engines as a source OF
power n eliminate a large proportion
Of the water now required in drilling
wells. In fields where electricity is gen
orally In use 1t is claimed that the cost
of drilling Is very materilly reduced as
compared With the expense when steam
power is employed.
One we'll, the Whiteside. four miles
from Conrad, was drilling near the Pom
dera field with electric power last veal
and the contractors then announced thai
1T had been as successful there as gen
orally reported in electrified fields OF
other states. Power was taken from the
main Conrad-Choteau line for the White
side well. with but a short extension
necessary to reach the location. Differ
ent of the m-idcontinent and California
fields are entirely electrified and use OF
steam power at such places is rare, &C.
cording to oil operators.
1T is virtually decided" MIR. Scooter
said, that the Montana Power company
will build an extension from the Cho-
teau-Conrad electric line into the Pom
dera oil field, but a final decision has
not been reached. We have a crew of sur
veyors In the field now and II the line is
built 1T will be available to operators in
a month or less"

WORK ON NEW
FERGUSP PROGRAM
Trom Montana state college)

EERGUS county's agricultural program
n for 1928 is of the press n the bull
4 letin is available from it's author, d
B. Noble. county agricultural agent at
Lewistown. The bulletin is a successor
to the basic Fergus county agricultural
program published last year which was
drawn up at the original agricultural
conference at Lewistown. The new bull
letin contains reports of the accumu
lated experiences and results of farm and
experiment station tests during the past
season and uses these to make the basic
program more detailed and specific.
The conferences at which the material
for the latest bulletin was prepared were
held a L~ewistown. Winifred, Roy. Denton
and Moore during the past winter. Prac-
tically every agricultural community ano
every organization in the county was
represented on the various committees
which drew up the reports. Likewise
the results OF tests. demonstrations and
practical experiences which formed the
basis for the conference recommendations
were gathered In nearly every agricul.
tural area Of the county.
Since the work of developing a de.
tailed agricultural program for Fergus
county started in 1927. nearly all of the
community clubs of the county and many
of the other organizations which are
concerned with farming or livestock pro-
duction have become interested in OBJ
tanning facts and information for use
in the program, Mr.. Noble states. Every
year tests and demonstrations are car
ried on In the different communities and
the results are placed In the hands OF
conference committees for consideration
at the annual county wide economic con
ference.
The questions which are being an
swered by tests and demonstrations
which some communities are carrying
out and Others are being urged to adopt
in the effort to obtain information which
Will place the farming of the county on
a sound, profitable basis are listed by
Mr.. Noble as follows:
What per cent of the cash crops OF
the farm should be planted on standard
summer titled land? Which OF the four
standard summer tillage methods is best
for Fergus county? What is the best
method of preparing the seed bed To-
planting? What is the most efficient
combination of machinery for the Fergus
county farm? How can soil blowing best
be controlled? What is the best type of
grain drill to use? Is stubble burning To
be recommended? What are the best va
rieties OF the various grain crops for the
different agricultural districts of the
county? b Is the best treatment fol
reducing smut losses? Is the header,
binder or combine best for harvesting
grain? What are the best means for de-
termining value of grain? What are the
best methods of growing and using sweet
clover?

MAKE SOIL SURVEY OF STATES
IRRIGATED LAND PROJECTS

ture OF this area is now on the press and
will appear as Bulletin No. 2O7 of the
Montana experiment station.
THE Waller project was mapped and
CLASSIFIED with the assistance OF the Va
lier Land and Water company, during
the summer of 1926. This project has q
gross acreage Of about 100000 acres, OF
which 10000 acres are irrigable, and has
an adequate water supply. In this area
the soils were classified into 10 broad
groups or series which are further SUBJ
divided into 25 distinct soil types and
some miscellaneous groups as rough
broken land and seeped areas.
The western part of the Waller prof.
ect consists largely OF fairly heavy soils
adapted primarily to alfalfa, grain anc
livestock. The soils in the eastern part
vary from a fine sandy loan to silt loam'

ter suited TO a diversified agriculture

nitrogen content needs building up how
ever, before best results can be obtained
A detailed soil MAP OF this area has beer
prepared and will be ready for distribu-
ton as soon as it can be printed in bull

During the summer of 1927 the de-
tailed soil survey has been carried on III

the MIX river valley from Havre to Malta
This area includes the Fort Belknap. Al

ton districts. having an irrigable area
of about 1900 acres. and the Malta di-
vision of the federal MIX river project
having an irrigable area Of about 25,0ot
acres.
THE soils of the upper MIX river val
ley are extremely variable, ranging from
the more easily titled fine sandy loans
to the heaviest clays. A wider variety OF
crops and therefore a greater diversified
top Of agriculture is possible on the
lighter types than on the heaviest gumbc
lands. TIT latter soils are largely pro-
ducing blue joint hay or are lying idle at
the present time. The lighter and me-
dium-heavy soil types are better adapt
ed to the growing OF certified seed pota-
toes and sugar beets than are the heavy
clays. Alfalfa has a wider range Of adap-
tation. but will not do we'll in poorly
drained areas. 1t Is possible that sweet
clover can be grown more easily on the
heavy and somewhat alkaline soils"

Baby specialists agree nowadays, that
during the first six months, babies must
have three ounces Of fluid per pound Of
body weight daily. An eight pound baby,
for instance. needs twenty-four ounces
OF huid. Later on the rule Is two ounces
OF fluid per pound OF body weight. The
amount OF fluid absorbed by a breast fed
baby Is best determined by weighing him
before and after feeding for the whole
day; and 1t is easily calculated for the
bottle fed one. Then make up any de-
hciency with water.
Giving baby sufficient water often re-
