new RULINGS UNDER
ALLOTMENT SE7.UP
GIVEN AT Meeting
County Committeeman In
Session Monday Hear
Outline on Setup


Fdrtyfive wheat committeeman
from Is communities in Sheridan
county met in Plentywood Monday
and heard all outline of the new
Wheat Adjustment Plan. The ses-
sion was held at the Sheridan coun-
ty court house.
R. G. Tyler, of Homestead, presi-
dent OF the county control associa-
ton presided at the meeting.
C. H Peterson, of Bozeman and
county agent at large gave a sum-
mary of conditions which led up to
the necessity for controlled produc-
ton program. M. ] Peterson, county
agent explained the new contracts
features. A general discussion of the
new rulings was conducted by C. H.
Peterson.
According to county agent NJ. ].
Peterson, the main features of the
new wheat program are as follows:
Any Ibona-fide wheat grower who
can establish a base Is eligible to
sign the new contract.
PeriOd of contract, 4 years-1936-
1937-193S-1939.
The reduction Of acreage for next
year a been announced by the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture to be five per-
cent. This is to be figured from
the same base acreage as the old
contract.
carries the provision that a signer
may have the privilege of termina-
ting his contract after two years
have expired.
Since the base period for figuring
allotments is the same as the old
contracts, it would be a good idea for
those who did not sign before but
who wish to participate in the bene-
hts of the new program, to start now
to abtain production records-acres
planted, acres harvested and bushels
harvested for the place they will farm
in 1886. These records to be obtained
for the years 1928 to 1882 inclusive.
and yields are to be supported by
evidence in the way of duplicate ele-
vator tickets, farm record books, etc.
Allotment payments are to be
made in two installments as hereto
ore, but the basis for making them
will be changed. The first installment
Will amount to approximately two
thirds OF the difference between the
average farm price and parity price
on a representative date prior to July
OF the year for which the payment
Is to be made. The second payment
will be adjusted upward or down
ward depending on the average price
OF wheat during the year.
The 1936-1939 program provides a
method by which the Allotment Com
mittee may make certain limited
acreage adjustments within a coun-
ty or community. Adjustments in
acres cannot exceed the downward
adjustments within the area.
The term CONTACTED Acres" is
changed to Adjusted Acres to con
form with other adjustment pro
grams.

Chief of Police Has
Hen What "am" a Hen

Bob Rookie, Plentywood's chief of
police has a hen in his flock to be
proud of. That hen lays mar sized
eggs. All summer and fall she has
been laying eggs that weigh 4 ounces
twice the weight of an ordinary egg.
She is a white Braham and a young
'biddy too.
She lays EN- regular and they are
all big ones. An egg laid by the big
producer Monday was 6h inches in
circumference at the equator and
Sh inches in circumference from
pole to pole"
Each shell contains two yolks and
a white equivalent to two eggs.
LII Rookie raises any more hens like
her the AAA officials are apt to draft
drastic rules on over-production in
the egg market.

WILDCATS WIN FROM
CROSBY HERE 90

Led by Becker, flashy Wildcat
back who ran rampant in one OF the
finest exhibitions OF open-feld run
ming ever displayed In high school
competition, the Plentywood high
school eleven won an impressive 6 to
0 victory from the Crosby Maroons
on the local grdiron Friday. The de
feat for Crosby was the first to have
been inflicted in Montana territory.
PlentywoOd scored early In the
frs. quarter when Becker broke loose
after perfect interference and ran
like a deer from the 80 yard
line, crossing the goal standing up.
Stenmarck, hard hitting Wildcat
right guard, followed Becker on his
march across the goal line and took
"out" the last tackler with a beauti-
full block and aided Becker to go over
the line without difficulty. The try
for point after touchdown failed.
The locals threatened In the last
minutes of play and had the Maroons
pushed against the goal posts but
were unable to put the ball over.
Becker completed a "a yard run In
the fourth quarter which put the ball
in scoring position but was lost on
downs.
A pass from Zeidler to Newton,
then a lateral to Lund frenzied the
crowd In the final stanza. The play
was ~cleverly executed and rs yards
was gained before a bevy OF tack
lers hauled Lund down.
Crosby brought a wellIbalanced
team to Plentywood which forced the
Wildcats to play heads-up football
every minute OF the game. They
staged a spectacular last minute raj
ly before the final gun by marching
down the field, fldnging passes and
sweeping the ends for long gains be-
fore losing the ball on downs.
Emanuel, at right tackle for the
Crosby eleven broke through the
Wildcats line and meared the backs
before they could get started. w.
iEhmanual, Anderson and Buck for
Crosby were hard hitters In the
Ibackfeld.
Stenhnarck and Boulds were out
standing ON the Wildcat forward wall
and broke through to catch the MA
ron backs before they could get into
motion. Salisbury played good de-
fensive ball and made some fine tao
kles. Newton, first year IN a regular
Wildcat uniform turned In a fine per-
formance.
Collins, Murray, Medders, Knud-
sen. Koike and Markuson were other
lineman who saw action for the
Wildcats and battled hard.
Hueth, Zeidler, Lund, Collins and
Bennett were running mates OF
Becker. Hueth hit the line for good
gains.
Officials OF the the c ontest were
Roestf Of Dillon, referee; Melton. Dill
lon, umpire and Gruhn. Aberdeen.
s. Oak, head linesman. The offciat-
ing and work Of the headlineman
was exceptionally good.

Proclamation

!, P. G. Neville, Mayor of the City of Plentywood, Mon
tana hereby proclaim the week between Oct. 6 and Oct, IL
as fire prevention week.
During said week the public is expected to be fire con-
scious and to repair defective flues, clean up rubbish, repair
dilapidated roofs. clean up fire trap attics, put matches
away where children cannot reach them and take other
precautions to prevent fires. Electrical wiring should be
examined.
Attention is called to the fact that most Of the fires
which destroy millions of dollars worth OF property in Mon
tana every year are due to carelessness. Property owners
do not take proper precautions or fire is carelessly handled.
Since last year in Montana there we're more than 10
fires that were attributed to cigarettes, 1t Is apparent how
large a factor carelessness is in the matter.
Dated at Plentywood, Montana this Let day Of Oct, 1885.

NEW MARKET, Va, January l9.-
The recent report of State Auditor W.
Mccarthy Downson this towns al
fairs, in which the method Of attend
ing to the towns business is vigorously
criticized, takes notice especially OF
the practice of closing the Council
meetings to the public. In part It
reads:
"It was brought to our attention
during the process Of our examination
that it has been the consensus among
the members Of the Town Council
that all meetings should be closed to
the public.s The report then quotes
from the State code a section re-
quiring all meetings to be open to the
public.
The report also states that a total
of S7,246.76 of funds from the water
and sewerage account, which by
ordinance and law was to be set aside
as part of sinking fund to retire
the bonded Indebtedness incurred in
the installation of a municipal water
system, has been diverted to other
uses, and in addition the sum OF
s19,42S.56. the amount of the sinking
fund which should have been ac-
cumulated by August 81, 1894. was
found to be non-existent and default
had been made in the payment OF
the interest on the bonds.
The diversion, 1t was pointed. out
had been made necessary on account
of an annual deficit in expenditures
on the water and sewer system. The
officials were advised that in the
! future it would be necessary to raise
the levy to cover the required sinking
fund total of $85,o00 in the period
remaining until maturity in 1861.
