CROP REPORT FOR MONTANA
SHOWS 3.3 PER CENT DECREASE

Compared with the outlook of 4
month ago, harvest returns have
reduced slightly the estimates of
the potato and fax crops, the
former allowing for some freeze
damage to undug acreage between
October 18th and 25th. Sugar
beets, alfalfa seed, beans and ap-
pies have out yielded the October
forecasts. No changes were made
in the October estimates of corn,
small grain crops, hay and special
crops.
While the total production of
crops in Montana in 1880 does not
differ much from that of the SINH
lar season in 1929, the value of
crops produced will probably fail
about % million dollars below
that of 1929, due to the lower farm
prices that have been prevailing
through the harvest and market
ing season. Cash income of Mon
tana farmers from crop sales will
probably reflect a larger differ
ence compared with 1929 consid-
ering the fact that the largest
price differences will come in the

The combined production of &c
Montana crops this year was only
3.3 per cent smaller than the 1929
total but 22.7 per cent under the
average of the period 1924-1928,
according to the November crop
report of the State-Federal Crop
Reporting Servise. Eight Of these
crops including oats, barley, fax,
potatoes, dry peas, sugar beets,
canning peas and alfalfa seed ex-
ceeded their 1929 combined pro-
duction by 36.9 per cent and their
i've year average out-turn by 9.6
per cent. On the other hand )
crops including corn, wheat, hay,
rye, beans, clover seed, apples and
cherries fell 10.5 per cent below
the 1929 aggregate and 26.0 per
cent below their average produc-
ton of the past five years.
Converted into tons the total
output of Montana field and orch
ard crops in 1929 as estimated in
the November report was 4,466,834
compared with the final estimate
OF 4~.616,007 tons in 1929 and the
1924-28 average production Of
5,780,261 tons.

AID MEASURES
AWAIT SURVEY

A cry for relief of drouth strick-
en- farmers is gathering strength
every day in Montana as well as
in other highly reputed agricul-
tural states in Americas best
crop producing sections. Congress
men have announced their inten-
ton Of introducing in the Deem
Der short session designed to re-
lieva this situation and President
Hoover has advocated some form
of assistance.
Just what is the situation? if
Congress is going to pass any
sane relief legislation in response
to the demands from the dozen SO
called drought affected states,
they must have the facts. Move
ments are on foot in most of the
short crop states to secure these
facts.

No congressional aid will be
granted for Montana alone. Mon

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
M0NTANA'S SEED SHOW

B. w. (Barney) Anderson, who
with Sill Blair of Culbertson, rep.
resented Roosevelt county at the
18th annual Montana seed show,
returned highly enthusiastic over
the splendid showing and great
number Of exhibits in all depart
ments. 1t is wonderful and a
source of encouragement to see
the improvement achieved by
farmers who are putting thought
and care into their work, he says
The two-day school held during
the show offered an opportunity
to hear lectures by some OF the
leading college authorities. Mr..
Anderson thoroughly enjoyed it
and felt that he received valuable
ideas. He said nothing about it
himself, but it is q fact that Mr..
Anderson is one of the most sue
cessful growers of certified or ap-
proved seed in this county. HIS
farming proves the proltableness
of planting pure seed Of the best
variety. Just before he went to
Great Falls he shipped three cars
of wheat from his 1880 crop and
the returns show 1t took a very
high test in all essentials. So
good that be received 10 cents
above the card price or 81 3-S

Montana Looks Good
After Seeing East

Fred McCune of Prairie Elk, a
resident of this section for some
80 years, returned this week from
a visit in eastern Iowa and west
ern Illinois. 1.-THE grass and Fall
sown grain is green and there is
no snow there. But, say, this
country looks good to me after
being over there. We haven't any
beggars here, at least" The de-
preston is far more noticeable
there than here, and everything is
quiet and at a standstill, said Mr..
McCune. But everybody treated
him the best and he enjoyed his
visit.

The Lions got together again at
the Sherman Cafe Wednesday ev-
ening at six for dinner and an ad-
dress by Lion Jim Griffin of Chi
neck. Jim is a plain but substan-
tial, high-power young Scotchman.
He says what he thinks and has a
happy faculty of thinking the
right thing. He has been around
Chinook only about AZ years but
he seems to like the place. Most
Of the time, until recently, he has
spent the winters in Helena lend
ing force and brains to the State
senate. He knows all the session
laws for the last 20 years back
ward, and some more that should
be on the books. He regards as
%unfriendly anyone who persists in
calling him Senator or Mr., says
his name is Jim.
Just a few years ago he became
a Lion and has now developed a
roar that will quickly make a
knocker think better of his
crouch. The Chinook Lions, only
rs in number, have made a won
derful six-year record of distin-
guished service to their town.
Jim Griffin had been n of
the result-getting members of the
club as well as a handspring of
the community for many years be-
fore the advent of Lionism. For
nearly an hour Wednesday eve
ming he gave an entertaining and
inspiring sketch of the town and
the work of the Lions. Chinook
some hundred and eighty miles
west, perhaps nearer than any
other town in Montana, is on a
par with Wolf Point, and a keen
match for US in several things
basketball especially. That is ga
son enough why Jim Griffin feels
such warm friendship for Wolf
Point. He says we have wonder
full opportunities, some Of which
have been improved, while others
are being neglected. He says
Wolf Point Lions have a fertile
field if they will just get together,
stay together and work. Put over
one thing a&er another. Our
bridge, broadcasting station and
are assets of great and
constant value; but there are
many other things to be had if
gone after with a united front.

Thanksgiving Dance

The Royal Neighbors lodge is
sponsoring a Thanksgiving dance
at the Coliseum next Thursday
night, Nov. OF. Music will be fur
nished by the Poplar Harmonic

and it is hoped that it will be well

away of a fruit chest. The chest
is filed with canned fruits,

FAST HORSE Gets
9 YRS. FOR MURDER
PLEADS GUILTY IN FEDERAL
COURT MCNEIL
ISLAND
Great Falls Tribune)

George Fast Horse, fullbloor
Sioux Indian, charged with tn
murder of Charles Shields, Indian
at Silverdale, Fort Peck reserva
ton, on June q, 1880, entered
plea of voluntary manslaughter il
federal court Tuesday Afternoon
and was sentenced by Judge
Charles N. Pray to serve nine
years in the federal p~entitentiarl
at Mcneil island.
The defendant maintained hi;
stolid expression when the courl
passed sentanc e and committed
him into the custody of the United
States marshal for removal to the
pentitentiary. Evidence brought
out by the government and de.
tense counsel was that Fast Horse
committed the act when intoxicat-
ed, which accounted for the ac-
ceptance ON the part of the gov
eminent of a plea of voluntary
manslaughter.
Government witnesses testified
that the defendant had had
trouble with his wife and that he
started a search for her with a
shotgun. She went to the home of
her father and it was there that
Fast Horse shot Shields and then
hid in the timber for two days and
a night, finally giving himself up
to officers.
A statement made by Fast
Horse to his attorney, John l..
Slattery of the law firm of Slat-
terry & Tighe, on Sept. %, 1880,
states that he has a wife and two
children and a stepson. Flora, the
oldest child, is 2 years old, and a
son was born July Is, 1880. Their
home is about three miles south
west of Brockton. The defendant
described in detail all that had
taken place, but contended that he
had no recollection of killing
Shields.
when they told me l had kill
ed Charlie Shields l was so scared
| didn't know what to do and |
walked off toward the timber
about a half mile away" said
Fast Horse. Il still had the rife
but no shells. While walking to-
ward the timber l saw the dust
flying near me and I looked back
and saw six or seven men shoot
ing at me. Shields was nearly a
fuublood Indian and he and I
were very good friends. / had no
reason in the world to hurt him
and | have no knowledge OF shoot
ing al him or any other person."
