The Federal. Farm Bureau AT Work

Since last July millions of farm
people have been celebrating wheth-
er to have water piped into the house,
buy a new stove, or pay off the mort
gage as soon as the Farm Relief
Board started work, according to Mr..
Charles w. Holman, in a recent ar
ticle published in the World Works.
When Congress passed the Agri-
cultural Marketing Act, the farmers
Immediately pinned their hopes on
the price-raising power of the gov
ernment, the author states. Few
were familiar with the details of the
new law, but in general way all had
known for six or seven years that
Congress was wrestling with the
problem Of farm relief. 1t was nat
ural that they should expect increas-
ed prices of farm products, for the
farmer each day faces the definite
realities Of the weather, the weevil,
the rust, and the constant overhead
of farm maintenance; he must meet
the taxes, insurance charges, and the
interest on his mortgage; and he and
his family must have food and cloth
ing. AS a rule, the annual individual
income of farmer is taken each
year from approximately the same
acreage and the same amount of farm
lproduce.
So farm relief to the farmer boils
down this question: Will the produce
from his farm buy more in exchange
for necessities than during the past
Feight years? In that period farm
people have not Jared very we'll. The
value of their properties shrank from

Red Cross Roll
Call Opens Here
Armistice Day

The 1929 Red Cross roll call will
open throughout the nation on Arm
istice Day. According to Mrs. G. G.
Bowlen, county chairman of the Red
Cross membership campaign commit
tee, Carbon county's quota has been
fixed at 500 members with mini
mum fee of 81.
The program of the Red Cross en-
braces action in which all people can
participate. The work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross for safeguarding
health and life is divided into four
sections; preservation of health
thru skilled nursing care; prevention
of loss of life in accidents; preven-
tion of illness through cleanliness in
the home and knowledge of methods
of home care of the sick; and rails
ing the standard of health and ply
sician efficiency through proper nu-
triton. The Red Gross campaign
against disease and death is nation
wide; it is conducted through ma
iority of 1920 Red Cross chapters
and branches in the United States.
Community health and safety prob
lens differ, so that the program Of
each is fitted to the problems of each

their products fell rs per cent as
compared with prewar days, climbed
slowly back to s per cent under nor

position, Is pc rcent below prewar

the prewar assessments and the hir-
ed man drawing $1.70 whereas he
formerly got 81, with the prices Of
almost every farm requirement high
.er relatively than the prices of farm
produce, conditions bore so heavily
on agriculture that the farming pop
ulation in eight years dwindled down
by 100000. A sad feature of this
treek to the towns was that much of
it occurred from the richest farm
ing sections and an unusually high
percentage of the younger farmers
abandonded their vocation.
Relief for Agriculture
Economic distress did not affect all
farmers alike, nor were all products
continuously subject to sub-normal
price returns. Citrus growers and
dairy farmers Jared better than pro
ducers of field crops. Hog and beef
producers had alternate periods of
good and poor prices. Proucers of
some speciality crops made money
Also there has been a gradual recov.
cry; and it may be safely said that
the average farmer today is in better
, circumstances than he has been in
several years. But agriculture is stil
a depressed industry.

First of Series of High
Producing Stock to be
Shipped into Co.

A herd of high producing Hol-
stems, belonging to r. H. Franklin
of Hardin arrived in Red Lodge Tues
day over. the Northern Pacific Rail
way lines. Considerable progress
was made in the dairy development
work being done in Carbon county
when the herd was brought Satur-
day and transferred here, according
to the report of Irving ]. Courtice

opment Agent, who made the trans
action for four Carbon county farm
ers; 7. N. Olson, Roberts; Tony Al
beri, Red Lodge; Rock Creek Dairy
Red Lodge; and S. Peterson, Rob-
erts.
The herd consists of 33 head, IL Of
which are high producing cows and
the remainder ranging from bred
two-year olds to calves. Mr.. Frank
lin sold the herd because of lack OF
help to carry on the detailed work
connected with the handling of high
class herd of this kind. For the past
10 years, Mr. Franklin has been CO.
operating with the Huntley Expert
ment Station in the use of the high
class bulls used in their breeding
experiments with the result that he
has herd which has averaged above
300 of butter fat per COW for the past
three years. This is an exceptionally
good record for farm herd, the av-
erage for the U. S. being about hall
of that. The records on this hero
have been kept by the Huntley Ex-
pertinent Station and reveal that the
Is heifers in the herd are mostly
daughters of a proven Herd Sire
whose dam produced approximately
1000 pounds of butter fat.
Mr.. Courtice states that this is
one Of the finest grade herds he has
seen in Montana and that he believes
it is a valuable addition to the stock
of Carbon County, especially in view
of the fact that plans have beer
worked out by these farmers and the
station to continue the use of the

much in the building up Of the herds
in this territory. Plans provide that

Musical Instru-
ments Purchased
For Local School
Toy Symphony Orches-
tras Started in Pri-
mary Grades
.MAYE A. JOHNSON
Is SUPERVISOR
Instrumental and Vocal
Music Carried by
Eight Grades

Red Lodge has much real talent in
music and there is considerable inter-
est shown in it by the pupils of the
city schools, according to Maye \.
johnson, music supervisor. In order
that the orchestra, recently organiz-
ed under her direction, may have
some real balance of parts and pro-
duce the best results the school board
has purchased bass viol, also a
set of drums to be part of the school
equipment.
Our school board is very progress
sive and unusually philanthropic for
a city of the size of Red Lodge, to
finance the purchasing of instru-
ments, both on the rental basis and
outright purchase, to provide the
youngsters with the splendid oppor-
tunity at minimum of expense
says Mrs. Johnson.
Instrumental music as we'll as vo-
cal music has been outlined to extend
from the first grade through the Jun
ior high school. Toy symphony or
chestras have been started in the
first and second grades. The little
folks are delighted with the work.
1t will give them a wonderful training
in following leader, keeping time
and eventually in following a music
score.
In the third, fourth and fifth
grades the mouth harp band work
is being continued. Melody, and
harmony, in the fifth grade, are ac-
quired by this work.
With this background of work and
training for the first five grades the
sixth graders take up the orchestral
and band instruments and should be
able to produce music by the end of
the eighth year equal to that of most
high schools. In other words, if the
work is continued for the eight years
of common school the pupil should
leave the eighth grade with the mus
ical knowledge of an amateur music
ian.
Regret is expressed, by those in
authority, that there is not larger
enrolment in music in the sixth
grade this year, Mrs. johnson states
that the best results can be obtained
when instrumental music is started
in the sixth grade and continued for
three years. Under this plan the or
chestra can develop and improve year
after year. When the major part of
the pupils begin as raw recruits
every year and wait until they are in
the seventh or eighth grades to begin
the foundation work the total rank
ing of the entire orchestra must nee
essarily remain about the same year
after year.
Regular practice is also necessary
to make a success upon any instru-
ment and school authorities are hope
full that parents will lend their active
co-opertion in keeping the practice
records which are being used this
year. Extra school credit is gained
in musical work and grades will ap-
pear upon the report cards of pupils
in the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades who spend the required time
in practice and rehearsals. .
Several units of Junior Music Clubs
are now in the process of organiza-
tion. They will be affiliated with the
National Federated Music Clubs as
well as with the State Federated
Music Clubs.
In the near future the Junior Mus
ic Clubs will elect officers.
