Predicts Big Crop for Montana.

HELENA, May 20-(U.P)-The man
whose word is taken almost as law on
Montana agricultural conditions, pre-
diets excellent crops for the Treasure
State this year.
He is Jay Diamond, statistician for
the -federal-state crop reporting serv-
ice, and his reason for his happy con-
piction is that the exceptionally adj
vanced season-appropriately three
weeks-offsets the fact that reserve
moisture is $50 below normal this
spring.
Mr. Diamond qualified his roseate
forecast only with the statement that
normal weather conditions must pre-
vail to make his prediction come true.
He pointed out that Montana citizens
should not be too disturbed over poor
market conditions because, as matter
of fact, the wide use of machinery and
the large scale farming done in this
state enables farm operators to make
a profit on low market.

CENSUS EMPLOYEES
CHECKS HELD UP
Temporary Status of Many
Given as Reason for No
Advances.

Census Bureau employes-some $500
in number-must spend their week end
and Labor day vacations" without
benefit of advance semi monthly pay,
it was disclosed today by A. j. Hirsch,
chief clerk.
Although many other Government
bureaus will disburse the bi-weekly
wages Friday, the Census Bureau has
decided to defer payment until Tues
day of next week, due to the temporary
nature of most employees status.
1t is explained by the chief clerk
that the disbursing officer would be
running a personal risk in making the
payments in advance of the end of the
month. If any of the per diem EN-
ployeS, of which there are $500, should
fail to appear for work Saturday the
wages paid him would have to come out
of the diSbursing officers pocket until
such time as he was able to effect res
titution on the part of the employee.
Mr.. Hirsch pointed out that num-
Der of the per diem employees already
have quit and others plan to follow.
Had all the employees been of perma-
nent status, the Bureau would have
felt justified In running the chance of
designations over the week end, it was
explained.
