SUGAR Beet CONTRACTS
NOW BEING PREPARED

es to take for this base. TIL e
representative yield is quite an
other matter. The 1884 produc-
ton does not enter into this
feature of the contract.
The representative yield per
acre must be the simple average
of the yields per acre for each Of
the four years 1930-33, inclusive.
When beets were planted in each
of these four years, the actual
yield per acre must be used. In
case sugar beets were not planted
in all of the above years, the
yield per acre to be used for any
year in which beets were not
planted shall be a yield that is
the same percentage above or be-
low the factory average yield per
acre for that year as the average
yield per acre for the years beets
were planted is above or below
the average of the factory average
for those years. If, however,
this yield per acre exceeds 80 per
cent either above or below the
factory average yield per acre,
80 per cent must be used.
This representative yield, multi
piled by the acres planted in 1884,
gives the number of tons on which
the 81 per ton is made.
Contracts have arrived and are
being prepared by filling in the
information which producers have
given on the work sheet sent out
from the county agents office
some time ago. Beet growers are
urged to get this in now, and as
soon as the contracts are typed
they will be ready for. the sigma
lures. When this is done the
producer will be notified to come
in and sign.

Beet Growers Urged Get Data to
County Agents Office as
Early as Possible.

The three educational beet
growers meetings held last week,
at which the government beet
contracts were explained by Geo.
W. Gustafson, county agent, were
very well attended. Meetings were
held at Lodge Grass, Nine Mile
hall and Hardin. The important
feature of the terms of the con-
tract were discussed in detail. The
two parts of the contract, which
are very easily confused, are the
base acres to be planted on any
farm in 1884, and the represen-
tative yield per acre, which is
used as the basis on which the
first payment of 81 per ton is to
be made as soon as the contracts
are approved at Washington.
The base acreage for 1885 is
determined on the average of
two, three, four, or five years
planted acreage on the farm, end
ing with 1884. The producer may
determine which average he wish

Townsend in
Washington
He Says Western Congressman
Are "Virtually Solid"
For His Plan,

The Townsend Old Age Pen
sion plan on Tuesday of this week
opened headquarters in Wash
ington, D. c., shortly after the
arrival in the national capital of
DR.. F. E. Townsend, formerly Of
the Long Beach, Calf, health
department. The first thing the
gray-haired and slender built
doctor did was to call a press
conference and tell his plans for
pressing the plan which bears his
name upon congress.
Under it persons over 60 would
get 5000 a month from the treas
ury, on condition the money is
spent within 30 days.
The originator seeks to have
100000 signatures to a petition
to congress. He said the house
delegations from California, Ari-
iona, Colorado, Washington and
Oregon are virtually solid" for
his plan. He indicated that Rep
resentative Smith 3D., Wash.),
and representative-elect Burnham
(R.. CALI might sponsor the legis-
lation. although this has not been
definitely settled.
DR.. Townsend estimated 8,000,-
600 persons over 60 would be eligi-
BILE for the $500 per month.
This would require an outlay
OF a little more than $4,000, OO0,-
600 annually.
He estimated that based on the
present volume of business, a sales
tax OF 2 per cent would be neces-
sarv to carry out his plan.
Under his plan 100000 elderly
people now holding jobs, he said,
would be retired to make way for
younger workers and the remain
ing 100000 who he estimated
are now unemployed would re-
ceive the same benefits.

Refusal of
Cancels Relief
NJ n t ana Relief Commission
Takes This Attitude at
Helena Meeting.

Helena, Dec. IL Refusal to &C
cept legitimate job will here
after be grounds for removal from
the states relief rolls, DR.. w. J.
Butler, state relief administrator,
has announced.
At meeting of the Montana
Relief Commission here this week,
it was moved, seconded and unan-
imously adopted that the COM
mission go on record as approving
the policy that when man is
offered legitimate job, which he
is capable of filling, and does
not accept that job, he shall be
subject to removal from the re-
lief rolls, the administrator said.
The action, he stated, was
prompted by continued reports
that this abuse of the privileges:
of relief is taking place in some
other states. i.
DR.. Butler said that although
there is now little question of the
eligibility of Montana's relief load,
almost free of "chislers' by a
militant re-working of relief rolls
during the past month, it is hoped
that relief clients will accept any
employment that offers funds
comparable to their present bud
get.
with few exceptions it is the
sincere hope of the clients, too,
that they accept relief only as a
means of tiding-over until en-
ployment is available. It is not to
our liking" the administrator
emphasized. when we hear Of a
client violating our faith and the
faith of his fellow destitutes by
refusing to accept employment
when offered"

Saved Eastern Montana
Farmers Half.

T. J. O'Conner, assistant state
co-ordinator of the Farm Debt
Advisory committee, with head
quarters at Butte, was a visitor
in Hardin, Friday last in the in
terest of this program. He stated

Der, committees in fifteen of the
eastern counties settled twenty
cases involving Indebtedness of
over 100000 for loans amounting
to approximately $4,000. TIL e
loans are all secured from the
Federal Land Bank of Spokane.

Prominent Member Crow Tribe
Victim Heart Attack-HaS
Large Funeral.

The most largely attended fun
eral held at Crow Agency in many
years was that of Dave Stewart,
Monday afternoon, when services
were held in the Crow Baptist
Community church. Rev. C. A.
Bentley, the pastor, was assisted
in the conduct of the services by
several members of the Crow tribe
of Indians of which Dave Stewart
was a prominent and influential
member. The church choir rem
dered two hymns, IN the Cross
of Christ Glory" and when the
Roll Is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be
There" An unusual feature was
the singing of the first verse of
this latter hymn in the Crow
language by the congregation, led
Rev. Bentley.
The church was filled to over
flowing by hundreds of the white
and Indian friends of the depart
ed and after the singing by the
choir and a prayer by Rev. Bent
ley tributes to Dave Stewart were
given by Attorney Dan w. Mad
dox of Hardin, George Hogan
and Frank Shane of Crow Agency
in brief eulogies delivered by
them, while the pastor read tri-
butes from John M. Burns and
Clarence Hitchcock, two intimate
white friends of Crow Agency.
A group of Crow Indians, fellow
graduates from Carlysle, namely
Frank Shane. George Hogan, Tom
Medicine Horse, Ben Longears,
Dick wallace, Mary One Goose,
Margaret Yellowtail, wife of Rob-
ert Yellowtail, the superintendent
OF the Crow reservation, AM
Julia Medicine Horse, accompanied
by Mrs. Olson at the piano, sang
as a closing number at tn
church, God Be With You Till
We Meet Again."
The floral offerings were many
and beautiful, testimonials of the
esteem in which Dave Stewart
was held by his neighbors and
friends.
The funeral procession, which
was directed by the Bulls rilly
Co. of Hardin, comprised over
one hundred automobiles, and was
an impressive sight as it wendell
its way from the church in this
little village to the cemetery,
about mile distant. After a
brief burial service by Rev. Bent
ley, eulogies in the Crow tongue
were given at the grave by two
Of his lifelong friends, Dick
Wallace of Lodge Grass and Deer
Nose Of Garryowen. Dick WAL
lace's talk interpreted was to the
effect that he had known Dave
Stewart from boyhood and knew
him to be a good man, a fact
which was attested by the many
friends, both Indian and white,
in attendance at his last rites.
He said he was a leader among
the Indians and there are few
like him; young men should pat
tern after him.
Deer Nose in his eulogy en-
phasized that Dave Stewart was
always a helper, wherever he was
and in whatever organization he
was connected with.
