Temperature is a very important
factor in the successful fermentation
of vegetable foods, such as pickles
and sauerkraut, say chemists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
The foods should be kept\as close as
possible to sc degrees F., at which
temperature the bacteria essential to
fermentation are most active. This
is especially important in making
sauerkraut.

Why lose valuable plant food from
the soil through erosion when much of
this loss can be prevented by win
ter cover crop? According to the U.
S. Department Of Agriculture, soil
erosion removes 20 times as much
plant food as is taken out of the soil
by crops. A winter cover crop to
prevent waste is especially important
in the South.

LOCAL CHAPTER
OF IZAAK WALTON
LEAGUE ORGANIZED

Plans are being perfected for the
organization of local Chapter of the
LAX Walton League of America, a
National Organization dedicted to the
conservation of outdoor America and
publishers of Outdoor America, one
OF the leading magazines devoted to
outdoor recreational activities. Next
Monday evening the local members
will meet at the Masonic Hall and
elect permanent officers and map out
program of work to be undertaken
this season, and anyone who is inter-
ested, and who has not, as vet. be-
come a member, is invited to attend.
The following information was
handed in to the News reporter by
member of the Izaak Walton League
which explains itself:
"Waltnoism is not merely a ma
chine for the benefit of the hunter
and the angler. Nor is it a sports
mans club.
Waltnolsm crystallizes a very def
mite and vital need in American life
and answers it.
1t is a creed of outdoors and all
that outdoors means. 1t offers health.
happiness, prosperity and character,
outdoors and recreation are the foun-
dalton on which outstanding character
IN the true American is built. From
the days of the Pilgrim down to this
Day, the outdoors has been the great
facotr which shaped our national char
acterlstlcs and integrity. There is
very close connection between outdoor
recreation and our individual and ma
tlohal progress in material ways. 1t
mas a vital bearing upon our ever in
creaslng national and individual
wealth. Americas magnificent ont
doors and the opportunities to use #
are the great things which this won
aefIul country has to offer Won. To
lake 1ull advantage of such an opnor-
tunlty is the soundest kind of good
sense. Great economists coming from
europe have found that this IS the
principal difference between their
countries and America. In fact thev
ue1lnltely state that the great Ameri-
can success is largely due to Ameri-
cas- great outdoors and natural re-
sources. And they are right
Waltnoism is the machine -,

Yellowstone Beet Growers
Refuse to Accept Contract

Hysham, April 16.-A MEETING of
sugar beet growers at Hysham was
attended by so farmers of the Yellow
stone project and Albert G. Hoff.
EnIuntley, president of the Mountain
otates Beet Growers Marketing asso-
clatlon OF Montana; G. E. Berg, Wor-
den; Bailey Hutchins, general mana
ger OF the Billings and LOVELY sugar
factories, and Bruce Petriken, agri-
cultural superintendent, of Billings.
Inc meeting had been requested bv
members to discuss beet contracts.
Mr. Huff gave figures to show that
under the contract offered, the Col
orado grower would receive $500 q
TON Tor beets and the Montana farm

growers profit an acre from beets IS
qHI'oo, while the sugar company re-
ce1Vers $45.6O, on 12-ton average.
Mr.. Hutchins spoke in explanation
OF the beet contract offered bv his
company, saying that the comnanv
would contract for at least % 009
acres of beets this year with non'oS0
ISOLATION members in the BilIinos-I o C+1

brings pressure to bear on the fem
ant to grow beats. He said he he
heved the association should spread
out and organize beet growers to the
north, east and south.
Inc meeting ended without a vote

opinion of those present that the vote te
taken a few weeks ago, when grow
ers were recorded as unanimously in
favor OF holding out for a better CON
tract, was sufficient.

The Wilkins announcements were all
the prefer because the regular radio
operator OF the small station in the
9Valoard archipelago was killed a few
days ago in an accident. Some one of

doouC wireless transmission to get out

therefore, that he must have left Point
Barrow some time last Sunday. His
message was timed as having been
sent at noon today.
The very meagerness of the news
from wilkins fired the imagination of
the Danish capital and brought words
OF commentator from other explor-
ers. Roald Amundsen expressed graf
lflcation over the news and said:
No flight has been made anywhere
at any time which could be compared
with it."
Peter Freuchen, a Danish arctic ex-
plorer, remarked that while nobody
could doubt the word of Commander
Byrd regarding his flight from the
Svalbard archipelago in 1870 tnat ne
had actually reached the pole before
returning to his base, yet there was
possibility that Byrd's observations
might have been wrong. Freuchen
added that there could be no doubt
whatever that Wilkins had Flown a.

poets to determine whether some of
the profits of the Continental Trad
ing Company of Canada went to Rob-
ert w. Stewart, chairman of the board
OF the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana.
Sen. Nye. disclosed Friday that the
trail was picked up in examination of
the personal account of Stewart in
the Continental and Commercial Ma
tlonal bank, Chicago. Nye said pres
ent indications were that Stewart
shared a fourth of the Continental
company's $3O8O,OOO profits.
Stewart had testified that ba "nav-
er personally profited one dollar by
inns deal, but when pressed as to
whether ne knew anything about the
purchase of the First Liberty Loan
