WINTER ON FARM
CAN RETURN PROFIT
Tine can Be Used for Program of
fertilization, Drainage When
Necessary

Winter can be made one of the
most profitable seasons of the farm
vear because time is less expen-
Awe than during the cropping sea-
sons according to Leonard Heg-
nauer. extension agronomist, of
washington State college. A pro-
ram of winter fertilization, land
drainage operations where neces-
sarv and the overhauling Of farm
machinery will return real divi-
dends.
There is usually always a por-
t;on of the farm where manure
and possibly other fertilizers can
he applied without difficulty. Grass
lands can be treated with but lit
tle loss or inconvenience. Manure
snread on these fields is on a
Mace where it will not lose its
value through teaching. On land
where phosphates are needed, they
can usually be applied with manure
without loss.
Manure is easily one of the best
farm fertilizers. 1t contains both
organic matter and many of the
chemical elements required for Wig
orous plant life. Proper fertiliza-
tion means early grass, heavy pro-
duction and high quality of feed
on pasture land. 1t also means in
creased yields for grain and hay
crops. There is no better way to
build ND rundown field.
Land which has water standing
on it during parts of the year
loses much of it's productivity. The
air spaces in the soil are Occupied
by water, plant food is dissolved
and important soil bacteria are
often destroyed. Drainage opera
tions can be carried on during the
winter in many sections of the
state. Tile can be laid for under
drainage and open bitches blasted
or dug where tile proves too ex-
pensive. Durable wood can often
be substituted for tile and is US
ually much less expensive. Over
hauling the farm machinery
should be an important part of
every winters working. Placing
each implement in perfect mech
anical condition and under a roof,
often saves costly delays with the
arrival of the spring planting sea-
son. Last but not least, is the re-
pair of the farm buildings. Altho
this requires considerable time, the
outlay is small compared to the re-
turns.

FEDERAL COURT IS
STILL In SESSION

A total of 364 actions in nine
days is the record of the U. S. Fed
eral district court up until las
Friday according to a news story
in the Great Falls Tribune. Out
of a total of 294 criminal arraign
ments, 222 defendants entered
pleas of guilty and 81 not guilty.
The balance were either continued
until a later date of the bonds
were ordered forfeited. Suspend
ed sentences or fines were i'm
posed against TIA defendants, and
so were sentenced to term in the
Cascade county Jail, terms vary
ing from 10 days to three months.
Fines assessed totaled $4,000. Cases
where not guilty pleas were enter
ed, are being tried this week.
The Tribune says in part: The
system followed for some time by
Judge Pray of placing defendants
on probation for a period of years
has resulted in fewer ''repeaters".
according to court records. In
many cases the court in addition
to levying a fine and probably jail
sentence gives the defendant a
suspended sentence greater than
the actual sentence, and then
places him on probation. If the law
is violated during the probation
period he is required to serve the
sentence if the charge is of suf-
ficient Importance to justify a rev.
ocation".
Glen Vinson, who pleaded guilty
to the fifth offense of possession
at Wolf Point had a three months
suspended sentence revoked and
was remanded into the custody of
the marshal to be placed in Jail TO
serve the term. On the new count
the court gave the defendant a
500 fine and a one-year suspended
sentence, with five years proba-
ton. The latter suspended sentence
includes a former 60-day suspend
ed sentence, which was revoked
and added to the new charge.
Harry Mcdonald, for possession
on the Fort Peck reservation, was
given a $50 fine and 60 days. and
500 and four months suspended
with five years probation.
The Neal rooming house here
was closed for one year as to VIII
liam Schick, but may be opened
after six months by owners on
$3.50 bond. Costs yer assessed
against Roy Iona, defendant, in
an action against a local resi-
dence.

Aviation Ground
School Started

Several students have enrolled
in the aviation ground school
which Dewey Lowers is starting.
Mr.. Lowers is well equipped for
the work he is undertaking, and
those who have some spare time
on their hands will find the work
interesting Us well as profitable.
1t is planned to hold the school
two evenings a week at the court
house. The subjects taught will
include Areodynamics, aviation
motors, traffic rules, meteorology
and navigation. 1t is planned to
spend six weeks on each subject,
so that the student will have a
thorough knowledge of the sub
ject. The price is nominal. Those
who are familiar with the tuition
charges of such schools, say that
Mr.. Lowers is only asking a frac-
tion of the usual rates.
Mr.. Lowers has had about g.
200 hours in the air. He says that
for every pilot in the air, it takes
about IL men, employed in other
capacities to keep him there. AS
aviation develops, a knowledge of
subjects connected with it will be
increasingly valuable.

FIRE DESTROYS OLD
BUILDING AT YOUNC'S

An old building, formerly used
as a barn, which now serves as a

ley south of w. l.. Young's resi-
dence was so badly damaged by
fire Monday night that it might

fires in the space of three days.
Saturday afternoon fire was dis
covered in the south wall, evident
ly ignited by Goals from an ash
pile in the alley. The wall had
been boarded inside and out with
straw and sawdust packing be-

The small blaze was believed
to have been put out Saturday but
evidently smouldered in the pack
ing of the wall. Mr.. Young was alb

at Summit. Early Tuesday morn
ing a strong wind famed the en-
bers to a second blaze which vir-
tually destroyed the building and
ruined a large quantity of stored
household furnishings belonging to
Marlyn Young who now resides in
Great Falls. There was $500 dol
lars insurance ON the building but
no insurance on the goods. The
loss vas promptly paid by the in
surance company.
Mr.. Young had an exciting time
getting his Buick a out of the
middle section of the building. He
could not get it out alone and

and friends.
A resident of the city almost
continuously for II years and
closely identified with many of its
major activities, Bill" Rogers
was the acquaintance and friend
of a great majority of the people
of the town and the country a.
round. With a pleasing PERSONAL
ty and a high reputation for in
tegrity and square dealing he was
the type of man one always was
glad to see coming. bill" always
had a smile and was always will

cess of a community enterprise.
He will be missed and his place
will be hard to fill. He was a
member of the Masonic order in
the Blue lodge.
Services were held Thursday ev-
ening at eight o'clock. conducted
at the Presbyterian church by Rev.
VIM. G.. Johnson. Members of his
lodge had charge of the body and
escorted it to the Great Northern
depot from where it was shipped

Mrs. Rogers and a brother, Tom,

Besides the wife and brother, a
daughter, Doris, by a former mar
riage, survive him. 1t is not known

came to Wolf Point and bought
the building that now belongs to
the X. C. lodge and with a part
ner, Alfred Watterude, opened a
billiard hall. Later he moved into
the building he still owns next to
the old post office site.
In June, 1922, he was married to
Mitchell who survives
him. In recent years Mr.. Rogers
has engaged in the livestock bust

cattle. He liked the stock
business and at n time moved
