Rule Applies on and After July l.
Campers and Smokers Responsible
for Fires.

Remember your shovel, axe anc

to everyone who intends to visit the

this summer
AFTER July / the carrying of q
shovel, ak and bucket per car or pack
train Is required Of all parties enter
ing the national forests of Montana,
northern Idaho, and eastern Washing
ton,' says Evan w Kelley, regional
forester at Missoula.
This requirement, which has been
in effect for the past few years" he
adds, has been a definite factor in
curtalling man-caused forest fires. In
many cases persons travelling over for
est roads have been able to put out
tires which were yet small enough TO
be handled by quick action on the part
Of one or two persons equipped with
these tools Dirt is thrown on the
flames with the shovel. Where water
IS available, bucketfui often turns
the trick The ak is handy for trim
ming out brush and small trees in
proximity to the flames"
Even if such fire emergency never
arises, the tools are useful about camp
acoording to experienced. mountain
travellers The shovel is, in fact almost
Indispensable in making a safe place
for the camp fire, and in putting it
out properly before leaving And both
shovel and ak come in mighty handy
in case car gets off the road or into
a soft spot.

farmer or grain dealer. A farmer may
sell his wheat when and to whom he
pleases, or he need not sell it at all.
1t is entirely up to him. The plan is
not a price-fixing measure.
While the measure is designed to
help the wheat farmer get fair re-
turn for his crop, the consumer is not
forgotten. The agricultural adjustment
act gives the secretary of agriculture
the power to enforce fair trade prac-
tees among food distributors, and, If
the processing tax is found unduly
burdensome, he is directed to lower it.
As matter Of economy and eff
cheney, the administration will use the
agricultural extension services in or
ganizing farmers under the plan Coun-
ty agents will take an active part in
the organization work, and are in posi-
ton to give information on the wheat
