Farm Crops

Farm Crops
Soil fertility and good seed are two
of the most important factors in pro-
ducing a profitable crop, states Coun-
ty Agent Carter. 1t is not good man.
agement for one to expect a maxi
mum crop production on land that has
been neglected and let run down" in
supply of plant food.
All farmers know the requirements
of a productive piece of land. Why
not check over your crop rotation ask
ing yourself a few questions and see
if you have played the game put"
and "take" fair with your farm?
Some questions are: Is my farm
we'll drained, especially land that is
being cultivated? Do l replace the
lime as it is taken out in crop and by
pasturing? Do make extensive use
of legumes to help keep up the supply
of nitrogen in the soil and cut cost
in grain feed bill? Have kept up
the humus content of my land? Do l
pillow from Z to 10 inches deep?
depth of blowing depends upon sub
soil and previous plowing) If the
above factors mentioned in the ques-
lions are taken care of properly you
may expect a profitable crop in a
normal season if good seed and Gull
tural practices are used.
Anyone not using good seed on pro-
ductive land is not giving the farm
a chance to give maximum returns.
1t is just as important to have pure
disease-free seed as it is to have pure
bred livestock free of disease. A
good farmer would not think of keep
ing the "runt" pig for a brood SOW
or the "runt" calf for herd bull
Then, why should he expect to grow
crops from inferior seed?
In my opinion fewer acres and
better care will net greater returns

MT. LAKE PARK

This is the time when we should
think more and talk less.
There seems to be a disposition to
minimize such success few are hav-
ing and raise to the nth degree the
many who have failed.
In every gathering, both men and
women, lively topic of conversation
concerns the man or family who has
lost fortune; or, "it is said" that
this or that merchant is on the verge
of having to close up his shop; or
that this or that man has turned out
TO be crook, or that certain finan-
cial institution has suffered heavy
Withdrawals.
Heaven knows that things are bad
enough without making them worse
by loose talk concerning matters
about which we have no definite
knowledge, and which, in a majority
of instances, have no foundation in
fact. Such irresponsible mouthings
do not help a community to recover
its equilibrium.
If we would but realize that we,
along with other nations, are passing
through the most gigantic struggle in
history for economic. and social sta
bility, and that the war now being
waged against unseen forces is
fraught with more danger to our So
cial, religious and economic future
than all the German hordes of the
World War, or sectional division in
our Civil War, we would deem it a
patriotic duty to push, not to pull;
boost, not knock. -
Let us remember that the solid bus
mess men of our community and Of
other communities, are doing the very
best they can under adverse circum-
stances, and that they are worthy of
our confidence and esteem now the
same as heretofore.
Conditions have changed.

HOAG WINS BOUT
WITH CHAMP OF
MONTANA-WYO
Wild Man Cozzens Shows
Little Stuff Here;
Two Good Draws

Young Hoag of Fulton, N. Y,
middleweight Of the Beartooth
forestry corps, won a decision
from wild Man" Lou Cozzens of
Byron, Wyo., whose Montana and
Wyoming championship titles
were not at stake, and who APP
parently did not extend himself in
the six rounds of the bout Satur-
day night in Washington hall.
Cliff Gerhardt of Washoe and
Nick Spagetti of Joliet almost
stole the evenings show with their
four-round punching duel. Kid
Kellum boxed a draw with Don
Claus, another newcomer from
Fromberg.
Cozzens is reputed to be a
"come-on" fighter, but he did not
force himself on Hoag. During
the first round he pranced and
capered in circles, while the black
haired forester kept a wary eye
on him, and socked him every
time he came within range. I'm
balanced by a left to the chin,
Cozzens stayed down for nine
counts. AS the round ended the
fighters rel swapping a few in
one corner and Cozzens, failing
to hear the bell, landed a few ex-
ira punches.
The second round was Hoag's,
as well as the third, Cozzens con-
tinuing to circle and dodge, and
Hoag throwing in short, hard
punches to the jaw. In the fourth,
the "Wild Man" forced the fight
ing a little, but found Hoag there
every time he came in.
The fifth was half over when
Cozzens dropped Hoag with a
punch on the neck, after a sharp
exchange alongside the ropes.
Hoag was not hurt, but rested for
nine counts. Referee Henry AL
bert made a short count, declared
Hoag ont, then started to raise
Hoag's glove. After the confus-
ion subsidized, Henry admitted the
mistake and sent the boys to their
corners for the sixth round. In

JOLIET FIGHT FANS
SEE HECTIC BATTLE
BY ELLIS M MACK

Mickey Mack and Babe" Ellis
made boxing history at Joliet Sat
urday night, in one of the most
savage glove battles of the sum
mer. The decision was a draw,
after four hectic rounds.
At the first gong, Mack went
after Ellis, pummeled him from
one side of the ring to the other.
The babe came back in the second,
putting his opponent down once,
The exchange was most interest
ing in the third, when both boxers
dropped to the canvas at the same
time, after standing toe to toe and
hitting hard and fast. They came
up swinging and continued to rip
punches into each other until the
bell rang. In the fourth, Mack
dropped Ellis for an eight-count,
but Ellis was not badly hurt, and
jumped back to thump Mack
groggy and earn a draw.
Rudy Groshell for three rounds
was cautious about the powerful
right hand swings of "Irish'
Parks, one of the favorite Joliet
maulers. In the fourth Rudy wad-
ed in, hung rights and lefts all
over Parks anatomy, and won a
technical knockout when Parks
seconds became convinced that
Rudy's southpaw style was toe
much for their man.
Groshell will box at Joliet again
this Saturday, having been
matched with frankie Jerome OF
Seattle, according to Secretary
John Jarussi of the Joliet Boxing
association. Young Kelley of Bill
lings will meet Ralph Kress OF
Joliet in the semifinal.

TRAVEL BARRED
ON COOKE ROAD
Route on Mountain Top rs
Declared Dangerous
To Motorists


Danger to the public and in
convenience to workmen are the
reasons for closing of the Cooke
highway to public travel above the
Morrison-Knudsen camp. Barriers
were set up this week on the south
side of the camp, and at the north
end of unit G, to prevent autos
from travelling on unit G, or from
driving up from the road camp to
the mountain top.
Over the Labor day weekend
hundreds of cars passed over "the
top, some of them making the
trip from Red Lodge clear to
Cooke and the park. The traffic
not only impeded operation on the
road, said the contractors, but in
some cases drivers were in danger.

REGISTRATION
IS HEAVY IN
CITY SCHOOLS
Teachers Promise Service
Despite Shortage of
Payroll Fund


When school opened Tuesday
morning in two buildings of the
Red Lodge city system, 566 pupils
were registered-62 more than the
number in school at this time last
year. Facing the prospect of a
warrantless period until December
Is, teachers undertook an arduous
schedule of instruction, promised
to cooperate as cheerfully as pos
sible with the school board in the
matter of postponed salaries.
Before school opened, members
of the board met with the teach
ing staff, and S. C. Merriman,
boards spokesman, explained the
dilemma. Teachers contracts had
been cancelled, he said, because
District No. l had reached the
states constitutional limit of in
debtedness, and that contracts or
promises to pay salaries would
constitute a further indebtedness.
Until December 15, he said, the
board can not see its way clear to
paying salaries, nor can it legally
promise to issue warrants until
the school district receives it's al
lotment from the tax returns of
November 30. The teachers were
given to understand that the board
intended to make payment in full
for their services, although def
mite promises to that effect could
not be made. The contract cancel
lation was not a move to reduce
salaries, he declared.
When asked whether they
wished to cooperate with the
board, to conduct classes as usual
on the unspoken assurance that
they would be reimbursed as soon
as possible, teachers were unani-
nous in pledging their support.
Expressing the appreciation of
the trustees, Mr.. Merriman added
that the whole community owed
the teachers a vote of thanks for
their unselfishness and willingness
to serve in this emergency. He
promised that the board would as
sist any teacher in making neces-
sary arrangements for credit in
this city or elsewhere.
For payment of salaries there
is available approximately $4,000
enough to make out one months
payroll. This money will be dis
tributed to the teachers between
now and December Is, the teach
ers to decide whether they will re-
ceive it in one warrant or in
smaller parcels at intervals dur
ing the ensuing three months.
They are meeting this afternoon
to discuss the matter, and will in
