MAYBE COUNTY CAN MAKE
INSTALMENT DEAL

The boosters think it would be
best if the Federal government
would build the court house and
sell it to the county on the rent
installment plan, the county not
being obligated in the matter In
Iany way, legally, that would IN
volve the credit obligations Of the
county, with contract to deliver
a deed to the county some day in
the dim and distant future, when
the rent payments had equalled
the cost of the building, plus ANY
interest charge.
The county would occupy the
building and pay rent just as Il
does now with the present court
house which is an old school house
THAT is, the original part OF II,
the most of it having been bull
addition sat time by the county,
owned by the Plentywood schoo
district, and the rent from whlcf
is now a part Of the distributed
revenues. Sheridan county has
paid rent in this old shack for
about 20 years now, bought It TIVE
or three times over-paid rent OF
both the old school house and tn
additions the taxpayers the tax
payers built.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
WHEAT FIGURES

Sheridan county's wheat pro6uc-
ton average upon which the coun-
ty allotment will be based under
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministratiOn's plan for wheat pro-
ductiOn adjustment, is 2,421, 900
bushels.
This figure, which has been de-
termined by the United States
Crop Reporting Board, represents
the average total annual prOduc-
ton of wheat in thhe, county. fo1
the five year period from 1925
through 1882, inclusive.
The county allotment, which is
set at 81 per cent of this aver
age production to conform with
the percentage of the total ma
tional wheat crop which is con.
sumed domestically as human fooc
totals 1,308,046 bushels. This al.
lotment is the maximum tota
upon which Individual compensa.
ton payments can be made within
the county.
If all wheat farmers in the
county should decide to "come in'
on the wheat reduction program
the total of their domestic allot
ments would reach approximate,
the same figure as the county
allotment.
The comper sation pa y me MT
would be hased upon these indi
vidual allotments. The amount O
payments which will be made vii
depend upor' the number of whea
growers who take advantage o
the opportunity to participate n
the wheat program.

ALLOTMENT PLAN
Is DISCUSSED AT :
CO.COURT HOUSE

On Friday, August II, small
group of actual farmers and side
walk farmers gathered at the
court room to listen to c. H. Pet
erson and R. B. Tootell, of the ex-
tension service, explain the work
lngs of the Allotment plan. More
meetings of the same kind have
been held in the county by this
time.
What we were able to gather
from this meeting is, that the plan
is so complicated that even those
who are trying to promote it do
rot understand it. AS far as help
ing the people, who need to be
helped, it looks to be just another
farce. A plan by which those who
have gre going to get more, and
those who hive not are going to
get less.
AT the present time the amount
each farmer will get is based on
the amount of wheat raised on
tlS!t ore tract of land in the past
three or five years.
The way this is going to work
out is, that the one who had bad
luck and was hailed out, dried out
and grasshoppered out, is not goi-
ing to get anything, while the one
one who had good luck and raised
a lot will get it all. This we must
protest against. We must insist
on having the allotment based on
the county average, and not on
the individual average.
At the meeting the speakers
were not able to say if the gov
eminent was going to hold back
the allotment on those who haC
feed 1and seed loans. Which goes
to show that the government does
intend to keep that money away
from the people who need it the
most. Strong protests should bC
registered against it.
The farmers of Sheridan coun
ty have yet a chance to say wha
kind of plan they are willing t,
adopt in the county. What the.
should insist on and demand is:
/ First-That the allotment b
based on the county average yield
and rot on Individual yield.
Second-That the allotment be
actually be paid to all farmers
and not deducted from tn
feed ard seed loans.
Third-That the allotment b
based on the last five years aver
rye.

anything to cost more than $4,000

getting their consent thereto. 1t
also provides that bonds cannot be
issued against the county without

taxpayers expressed at a special
election called for the purpose OF
voting on the proposition. And

erS visited Alexandria yesterday
and opened their season with a
decisive victory over Episcopal by
a 81 to 5 score.
Buddy" Nau and 1Shorty"
Chumbris, second baseman and
Shortstop of the winners, led the
hitting attack, with the former
rapping out two triples as we'll
as a double. This pair also
squelched potential rallies with
their stellar fielding.
The Western High nine made
a 5-run rally in the third in.
ming to give them a win over
the Washington g. Lee team, 9
to 6. Corcoran's slugging was
a prime factor in the victory.
Although the other two local

the losers, got three hits in four

Next in line for this longer
work will be General Alvin
Crowder, star of last years team,
and leading pitcher in the Amer
ican League in the matter of vic
tories. Following Crowder will
be Walter Stewart, who Manager
Cronin also believes is ready for
the big test while Eddie Linke,
Bud Thomas, and Bill McAfee
will get their share of work be-
fore the exhibition contests end
next Monday.
The boy pilot is very anxious
to get his men in expert readiness
for the opening Of the regular
season next Wednesday and real
ICES that he must get one or two
of his prize hurlers adjusted to
the idea of going nine innings
very soon in order that they will
not feel it so terribly much, once
the regular season does roll
around and they'll be forced to
go the longer distance whether
they want to or not.
"I think the boys are about
ready to travel nine innings
nOw,' the young manager
claims. "At any rate, Tm 60
ing to try 'em the longer route
from this time forward. No,
haven't made any definite as
signment for opening day yet,
but it'll go to the man who looks
best ready for the test"
The Griffmen will welcome
back an old face tomorrow in the
person of Joe Judge. former team
mate, who is holding down the
first base job for the Brooklyn

have welcomed him today but rain
has cancelled the game.
Joe has been playing an excel
lent game for the National

his aging years, and the Dodgers
appearance at Griffith Stadium

It's Not Too Late

Only 26 years Of age, it is
not too late for Burke to find
himself, in a pitching way, and
regardless of the fact most fans
are about plainly discouraged
the long, lean hurler, the head
of the local ball club is still quite
cheerful over Bobby's prospects.
"Some young pitchers who
are having their difficulties get
queer ideas into their heads, and
you've got to be patient with
them, often over what seems to
be a long period" declares Griff.
"In the case of Burke, we all
know he has had his moments
of value to the club. 1t is up
to the club management and
ownership to make an honest
effort, both for our own sake
and for that of the pitcher in
question, to try to prOlOng and
sustain such moments of effec-
tiveness.
Burke has felt that from
time to time certain bodily
shortcomings here handicap
ping him, and. we have on sew
eral occasions patrOniZed such
imaginary or actual defects, if
for no other reason than to
show a cooperative attitude.
