Replying to inquiries relative
to the Corn4Hog program, Emer,
gency Agent Carl Fl. Peterson states
that no definite plans for launching
this campaign will be undertaken
In Northeastern Montana until after
the Wheat Allotment compaign is
concluded.
Word from the central extension
office ait Bohemian indicates plans
for the Corn-Hog program will be
adopted ait the annual extension
conference later In the month.
A few Of the high points In the
Corn-hog program are. first. far
mers agree to raise not more than
rs percent as many pigs as during
the years OF 1882 or 1888 and also
to reduce corr acreage 20 percent.
In return, the cooperating farmers
receive SIS per head on the reduced
number OF hogs. In other words. Ii
he produced 100 hogs In 1893. he
could raise and sell rs In 1884 and
receive for each OF the latter a bo-
NUS OF SIS.
In treas where corn lis a heavy
yielding crop, the bonus payments
are correspondingly higher than In
northeastern Montana where very
little corn Ia grown Tor grain purpos-
es. However, assume that a farmer
raised an average Of 100 acres

Plentywood to buy feed which will
be placed In this vicinity. Game
Warden Krost is in charge of
the distribution. Sacks or iced

SCHOOLS NEARING
CRISIS FROM Recent
60 UR I DECISION
Local School Opens Today
With no Schedule
Alteration

Keep every school in Sheridan
county open" was the statement is
sued by Supt. of Schools Henry o.
Raaen, when interviewed in regard
TO the crisis facing Sheridan coun-
ty schools by the recent decision of
the Montana supreme court, that
no districts would issue a warrant
IN excess of the limitation placed
by the constitution which provides
#that-debts shall not exceed 8 per
cent of the taxable valuation.
schools in Sheridan county will
nor close said Mr.. Raaen, until
we are notified that it will be i'm
possible for US to operate any long
err
Mr.. Raaen further stated fhaf
undue alarm over the situation
should not be manifested.
Sheridan county schools will re-
ume this week following a two
weeks Christmas adjournment.
P~lentywood schools will open to-
day with no Interruption In sched-
uIe.
Although the decision by the SUI
preme court weighed heavily on
high schools throughout the coun-
ty, hope is held that the special
session of the Montana legislature
will enact means to stave off dis
aster in II educational system
throughout the state. Action is ex-
pected by the legislature this week.
The decision by the court, inter-
preted, involves many problems.
High schools are mostly effected.
Depleted tax payments have neces-
EItated Of warrants in most dis
tricts. Debts have increased be-
aus OF depressed conditions. Many
district are nearing their debt linn
Its. Some have already exceeded.
The legality Of issuing warrants by
the limit Interpretation Is involved.
Unless Legislation is enacted. all
but one high school In Sheridan
county would be forced to close
until funds from tax collections
would warrant reopening. All
school boards In the county have
kept well within their budgets it
has been revealed.
Information received Wednesday
that an effort is being made
to designate high school warrants
as county obligations. This action
would relieve the districts from in
dividual obligations. IF enacted,
plan would Justify the situa-
ton.
Judge s. E. Paul Is in Helena
this week to gather information In
clarifying the problem.
