|3O,S25 GROWERS IN.
Estate sign PLAN

Latest reports from Montana's
extension and emergency agents
show that 30,852 wheat growers
and farm owners have signed ap-
plicatIons in the wheat adjustment
program In Montana, according to
]. G Taylor, director, Montana
Extension Service. These applica-
lions represent a total Of 3,572,212
acres OF Montana wheat land.
Complete reports OF signatures
to applications are not available
because OF slightly different meth
DDS OF procedure In the various
counties However, farmers In ev.
cry county of the state are cooper
ating intellectually In the effort
10 relieve the wheat situation bv
reduction OF the acreage, Taylor
says.
In discussing the preference OF
farmers who already have signed
Taylor says that there is an over
waelming sentiment for the modi.
fIed county average plan for de
termining individual allotments.
He believes that more than 95 per
cent OF the contracts will be based
ON the common average. Small
wheat growers In counties of the
western part OF the state are among
the few not favoring the modified
county average plan.
The final meeting with extension
and emergency agents in eastern
at Terry a week ago
wound up the necessary confer
enees to outline the remainder OF
the work in the adjustment pro-
gram, Taylor says. Organization
work is going forward rapidly and
wheat production controll
associations probably will be estab-
lisfed In every county and district
of the state this week.

 The order was received during the-past week and already the em- pioyes of the plant have been swung into action getting out the material. Under the provisions or the contract the company must get the goods out in twenty days ana will be penalized for every day at is late,
 Therefore, the employees at the plant have been put on rush time and it almost looks like the old war days with the army equipment coming from the machinery at a fast clip. There is every indication that the contract will be fulfilled m the allotted time and then over a half million pieces of army equip ment will be in use in the camps throughout the country.
 As result of the order the Wa terbury Manufacturing Company has increased the working hours of its office force from 32 to 40 hours Q week and the number of furnaces at the Waterville Cast ing shop has been increased. A large number of new employees has been added. |b This same condition prevails throughout ~the entire city. Ap- proximately 200 former employees have been called back to work by the Scovill Manufacturing Com pany within the past two or three weeks. The American Brass Com- pany employees have received not ices of the establishment of 40- hour week, which is a substantial increase over previous conditions. In other parts of the valley sim liar reports are coming in. The Plume and Atwood officials in Thomaston stated that some of their departments are now on a i've and one-half day week instead of the old three-day week.
 In Naugatuck the United States
 Rubber Company is getting ready to call in 700 old employees and bring the working force up to B. 800. It is expected that the plant
 will be operated on a four or i've
 day week for the rest of the year. Throughout the state similar re- ports continue to come in of in-
 creased work in the factories.
