RETuRN FROM TRIP

DR.. and Mrs. Fl. B. Cloud, Mr..
and Mrs. e. L. Walton and Mrs.
C. ]. Severson returned Tuesday
evening from a pleasant ten days
motor trip through Glacier Park
and the Canadian Rockies. They
spent some time at Calgary. Banff
and Lake Louise and enjoyed to
the fullest extent the magnificent
mountain scenery. They secured a
number of interesting snapshots.
One of them was that of a forest
fire which was altogether too close
to the road along which they were
travelling for comfort and secur-
ity. They saw the Cogswells at
Lake Mcdonald.

PEOPLE ARE
BACK FROM ALASKA

FROID-The return of several
McCabe and Froid men, who went
to Alaska this spring after the
reported gold rush, has revealed
that it isn't the land of oppor-
tunity they had thought. They re-
port that although Alaska resi-
dents we're unaware of a depres-
sion until this spring. April, May
and June brought thousands of
unemployed into the territory.
R. A. Ramps, who went to
Alaska with Larry Lindberg in
April, returned to Froid with the
report that, although most of the
positions there are under govern
ment management and are well
paid. there are hundreds of appli-
cants in line. William Cosper of
Homestead made the trip later
and returned to live in Spokane,
where he is in the employ of the
Spokesman Review.
While in Alaska, Ramps and
Lindberg stayed with Albert O.
Hedberg, former Froid resident.
who is working as a linesman on
a telephone company. In a letter
last week Lindberg said he was
working as a cook on a railroad
crew.
Hedberg, a licensed pilot, is
contemplating entering the fur
freight business. AS freight rates
and passenger rates on Alaska
railways are necessarily high,
Hedberg predicts that before long
nearly all fur freighting will be
by airplane. Hundreds of miles
of railway track are being torn
up due to lack of business.
Farmers who have returned to
this section of the county from
Alaska see little opportunity for
farmers there for years to come.
Although prices of farm commodi-
ties are exorbitant, the high
freight rates in transporting live
stock and machinery requires too
much capital. Most of the land
in Alaska is heavily wooded and
much would have to be cleared,
which would entail mor expense.

Loan Time
Extended To Aug. Is

The farmers seed loan office Of
Grand Forks has announced an ex-
tension of time for filing applica-
tions for the feed loan available
for dairy and beef cattle. Loans
can be filed until August Is.
While but few applications have
been filed for this loan due to the
rather stringent regulations, it is
believed that greater use should
be made as notifications are prob
lematical. Every effort Is being
made to secure a more workable
loan but for the present feed loans
are confined to those covering the
needs of 5 head of dairy cattle
and 5 head of beef cattle-A. W.

Lots of Rain And
Refreshing Weather

1t would be a bit difficult to
convince a stranger from a dis
lance, who dropped in just now,
that this part Of Montana had this
season suffered the worst drOuth
and heat and grain crop failure
in its history.
North Pacific coast weather has
taken the place of cloudless skies,
a merciless sun and bone-dry air.
Last Thursday and Friday it rain
ed gently and steadily for Sc
hours. Two inches of water soak
ed the fields and prairies. Since
then the wettest sort of showers,
some quite extended, come with
only a few minutes warning. The
temperature stays from around
70 to 80. The change is not too
late to do much good for gardens,
corn, potatoes and range grass.

Governor J.. E. Erickson and j.
C. Taylor. state extension director,
were here Tuesday evening and
met with about sixty representa-
tives of Roosevelt county and
northern McCone county. The
purpose of their trip through
northern and eastern Montana is
to obtain information as to actual
conditions in the drouth striker
area Of the state. The governor
said he found the situation appal-
ling. and that in thirty-fve years
residence in the state he had
eve seen conditions as bad as
they are now.
The governor questioned those
present as to the amount of crop
to be harvested, the approximate
number of families who would
need assistance this winter, or be-
fore next spring, the fuel stu
alton, etc. After hearing the
statements, he said that he did
not believe that the state as a
whole realized that this section
was in such dire straits as it is.
He said he did not think it would
do any good to call a special SEES
sion Of the legislature as some
people had urged him to do, for
the reason that all the legislature
could do to relieve the situation
would be to appropriate money,
and that there was no money to
appropriate inasmuch as the

The Farm Problem
THE ALLOTMENT PLAN
"A Plan That viii Bring Results.
fContribntedl

f1OA1 $4,000
In 1929 there were more than
271b million persons residing on
farms throughout the United
States. Considering the fact that
a great number of farmers and
farm laborers are not living on
the farm but in nearby towns and
villages. it is probably safe to
say that about one fourth of the
entire population Of the Contin-
entail United States derive their
living directly from the farm.
The total investment in farm
lands, buildings, livestock, ma
chinerv. equipment and working
capital is calculated at about 60
billion dollars, or between one
fifth and one-sixth of the entire
national wealth.
The total annual income
throughout the United States, in
normal years, from all sources is
estimated and calculated at about
90 billion dollars. OF this total
income the farmers receive a cash
income of about 10 billion dollars
in normal years. Including the
value of all farm products con-
sumed on the farm. figured at
regular market prices, the total
annual, normal farm income is
about eleven and three quarters
billion dollars.
In other words. the one-ffth or
one-sixth of the total national
wealth represented by the farm
industry receives only about one
eighth of the total income.
Average Farm Income
The Year Book of Agriculture
for 1880, a report not PUBLISHED by
the Reds of Russia but by the
Department of Agriculture of the
United States, contains some woe
full information as to the average
income for each farm throughout
the United States, showing both
the amount available for labor
and management and as interest
on the so billion dollar invest
ment, and what is available for
labor and management alone.
The table appears on page 991 and
is as follows:

GETS FOUR YEARS
FOR STORE BURGLARY

There was a special session of
the district court here Thursday
presided over by Judge Hurry of
Glasgow. George Miller pleaded
guilty TO b~urglarizing the store of
Ole Lien of Brockton on August
1st. and was sentenced to serve
four years in Deer Lodge. Miller
was charged with taking knives,
caps. and various articles of cloth
ing from the Lien store. The
sentence imposed took ir,to az
count various other affairs in
which Miller had figured.

money would come from taxes,
and many taxes cannot be paid
this fall.
For Statewide Organization
The suggestion he made was
the organization of the state for
relief work, with Countrywide
drives, similar to the Liberty
Loan drives in war time, for the
of raising money for re-
lief work. Salaried people, even
in the drought area could con-
tribute a certain part of their
salaries. In Havre a large number
are giving one days pay a month
and railroad employees are volun-
tarily accepting shorter hours in
order that more men may be en-
ployed. 1t was pointed out that
assistance cannot be expected
from the outside unless every eff
fort is made within the state to
relieve the situation.
The governor said that where
ever coal was to be had on state
lands, people could go in and take
what they needed without the US
nal formalities. He also made the
suggestion that as much as pos
sible. winter coal supplies should
be laid in early before had wealth
er sets in.
Feeding Livestock Big Problem
The livestock problem was n
which occupied much of the time
Of the meeting. 1t was recogniz-
ed by all that if the farmers were
forced to sacrifice their herds,
particularly their breeding stock,
that it would give the country a
serious setback from which it
would not recover for a period OF
years.
G. l.. Smith Of Poplar said
that the northern McCone country
tributary to Poplar was much
harder hit than the territory north
of the river. He estimated that
half of the stock south of the
river had already been shipped
out of the country. In Roosevelt
county the farmers are cutting
grain and thistles for hay, except
in that comparatively small area
where the grain is worth harvest
ing.
Senator Schnitzler said that in
the eastern half OF Roosevelt and
in Sheridan county late paintings
of cane, millet and corn are com
ing on and will be valuable for
fodder. That if this forage, to-
gether with what straw and
thistle hay can be gathered up,
could be supplemented by cotton
seed cakes or other concentrates,
it was his opinion that not much
of the breeding stock need be
shipped out of the country. He
suggested that if a fund could be
created so that these concentrates
could be purchased, or so that
labor could be created for people
needing it. the situation would be
relieved. 1t was pointed out that
while the railroads have reduced
the ate on hay and certain other
feeds, the reduced rates do not
apply on concentrates.
The federal feed loan was dis
cussed, and it was agreed that In
less it was modified, it would be
of little use in this section. Max
ing the loans come due October
81, 1881, and the difficulty in Sc

WOLVES ANNEX
TENTH BATTLE
CROWD GETS PLENTY ACTION
FOR ITS MONEY AT A
BINGLE FEST

On their opponents diamond,
in the last last game of the regu-
lar schedule of the county league,
the Wolves ran away from the
Poplar warriors by keen stick
work and clean fielding in the
early innings. The final score of
9 to 6 fairly reflected the work of
the two teams. Brandon's boys
had nine markers on the board
before the warriors got the sleep
out of their batting and fielding
eyes. The west-end players count
ed 2 in the first, 8 in the third and
a in the sixth. Then in their half
of the sixth and in the seventh
and eighth Poplar ran over the
plate at the consistant rate of 2
to an inning. But their field
work continued ragged.
When finally the Poplar boys
got some speed the Wolves blew
up and came apart in places. But
they rallied in the ninth and stop
ped the Sioux before serious dam
age was done.
Big Joe Garfield, regular box
man, failed to report. Outfielder
Weingartner was drafted to go on
the slab and hold the fort as long
as possible. Although a bit wild
and often in trouble he had good
support and for five frames kept
Poplar's space on the board deco
rated with goose eggs. Then Joe
Garfield put in an appearance and
was ordered to warm up. In the
eighth he went to the mound but
failed to change Poplar's regular
quota Of two. Weingartner was
recalled from the field and flung
the final session with good re-
suits.
Dick Grow, Poplar's first choice
on the mound, had a poor day and
was relieved in the fifth by Elder
who failed to check the Wolves
rush.
The diamond was in fine condi-
ton, the weather was pleasant
and there was a good attendance.
1t was an entertaining game to
watch, with plenty of noise and
good-natured roasting and roofing.
With the exception of in the
box Wolf Point had its regular
line-up-Weingartner. Garfield p;

Reflec citing Credit

Tangible evidence OF the high quality. both In edi-
torial matter and in mechanical makeup and APP
pearance. which has always characterized the weekly
newspapers OF the Valley, is 10 be seen In the awards
given the Mercedes News-Tribune and the Mission
Times at the recent meeting OF the Texas Press AS
ISOLATION at San Angelo.
The Mercedes paper will cherish for one wear. Al
least. the A. II. Belo silver cup, awarded annually 70
that weekly paper Judged the BEST in the state o.
Texas.
The Mission Times has received two SIS cash prizes
awarded that publication for the best exhibit OF an
advertisement over 30 inches IN size and for the best
exhibit Of an advertisement under 30 inches in size
1t is fitting and proper that these two weeklies
should have been thus rewarded for the excellent pro-
ducts that A. f. Prince and Walden Greenlee at Mer-
cedes and Ralph and Bob Bray at Mission have been
giving their respective communities.
Significant. also. is the fact that among the field
of Valley weekly newspaperdom, the two prize win
ners are among the best patronized through their
advertising columns.
A weekly. or a daily newspaper. for that matter. Is
OF necessity forced 20 face the quality Of its product
almost entirely on the amount Of business carried in
its advertising columns. Good BUSINESS means more
money to spend for equipment and on the editorial
staff.
That Valley weeklies can enter a competition
against weekly papers from all sections Of the state
and more than hold their own reflects credit on those
responsible for the publications. credit on the Valley
cities in which they are published, and credit on the
Valley itself.
1t may be said without fear Of successful contradict
ion that Valley weeklies as a class stand head and
shoulders above the rank and file Of such publications
in any other section Of the state.
The message they are carrying and have carried FOR
years to other parts Of the land has been Of meal
culable value to the DEVELOPMENT Of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley.
