7 BLOCKS OF WATER
Pipes NOW RELAYED

Water flowed through new pipe
lines in seven blocks in the city last
night when the laying OF pipe was
Plentywood. by a crew Of rs men
under the supervision OF water sup
erintendent Robert Rookie.
The trenching and pipe laying has
been going forward rapidly and with
favorable weather today work will
start on excavating and putting in
new mains on second avenue and on
Monroe street, also in east Plenty
wood. 1t Is expected that the work
will be completed by the end Of this
month.
The stretch of pipe which was
completed last night was put in the
ground on 3rd avenue then to Adams
street.
Residents in the area where the
pipes were being replaced were not
without water during the time work
men were on the job on Adams
street, the result OF a novel scheme
devised by Rookie. A fire hose was
strung from a hydrant on Jackson
street, which is one block east Of
The Herald and connected with a
hydrant on Adams street. The fire
hose gave uninterrupted service to
water patrons. Had not the hose
been put into use dwellings in four
blocks would have been without
water.
The hose will be used when work
starts on other mains in the city.
One obstacle however, makes the
hose-plan difficult Mr.. Rookie stated
to The Herald that the block where
the hose-line crosses the street num-
erous a owners have been driving
over the hose or onto the sidewalk
to escape running over the hose, In
order to drive down the street Both
methods violate city ordinances.
Driving over a fire hose or onto a
sidewalk Is punishable by a fine Mr..
Rookie states. Violators apprehended
win be prosecuted.

new PROGRAM AIDS
SIX FAMILIES HERE

Six Sheridan county farm families
are being benefited by the Rural
Rehabilitation program which Is now
in full swing In Montana COUNTIES.
The families, living on old land and
who were unable to get seed and
feed loans have been aided according
to Sam Sprague, Rural Rehabilita-
ton worker of Sheridan county.
Seed wheat, gas and oil have been
granted the farmers so that crops
could be planted. The families will
also be furnished with groceries. The
advances are made on secured notes
Mr.. Sprague stated.
In Blaine, Phillips and Valley
counties the Rural Rehabilitation
program is sn full swing. The three
counties have been designated as
land purchase areas and will thus
receive the full benefits of the pro-
gram.
Six families in Phillips county
have been taken from dry land areas
north and south of Malta from lands
deemed unsuitable for the produc-
ton of anything but, grass, and
placed on irrigated land The sub
marginal land has been purchased
by the government
The Montana Rural Rehabilitation
corporation Is financing the entire
project with a federal cash grant,
The new settlers in Phillips county
are given a monthly advance for
food and clothing purchases while
they n getting started and the pur
chase of other equipment in addition
to buildings which will also be ii.
nanced by the rehabilitation agency.
The sums are repayable by the set
tiers.
The settlers are leasing these
tracts on a one-year basis and at the
end OF that time they can vacate II
they sc desire. If they wish to re-
main they will be permitted to buy
the land from the government on q
contract covering several years, pro-
vided their preliminary trial period
has been satisfactory.
Sheridan county Is not a land pur-
chase area and the program which
Is now being carried out in Phillips,
Blaine and Valley counties is not in
operation here. However, sub-mar-
ginal land may be found in sections
of Sheridan county and it Is probable
that soil tests may be taken here and
that the county may be classified as
a land purchase area
In the event the classification Is
made farmers on Improbable land
would have the opportunity to re-
ceive the benefits of the program
now under way in the neighboring
counties. The farmers would be
moved to profitable tracts within the
county.

County Agent Tells Farmers
To Prepare For Mild
Hopper Outbreak

Precipitation of rs Of an inch
recorded here early Wednesday
morning by George Wheeler, meteor.
ologlst. following a rainfall Tuesday
night and early Wednesday morning
The rain was quite general. however
the Plentywood vicinity received
more thar other sections of the coun-
ty. Showers continued at intervals
Wednesday.
Rain totalling SO OF an inch wet
Sheridan county fields and pastures
In a slow drizzle starting early Satur-
day morning and continuing for ap-
proximately a IA hour period.
All sections Of the county benefit
ted from the drenching downpour.
Late seeded grain will be given a
splendid start With seeding In the
county practically completed with
he exception of feed crops, farmers
throughout the county are jubilant
over crop prospects.
Early seeded fields, which were
dormant for some time due to the
extremely cold weather are growing
rapidly.
Recently seeded fields, planted be-
fore the rains Of two weeks ago
present a solid growth and aided by
the abundance of moisture which
fell the past week end will make
remarkable stand.
Pastures Are Green
For the first time In years. hill
sides and pastures are green. Ranges
present healthy grass growths. In
sections of the county where ranges
have been barren for several years,
a blanket of foliage is evident.
Matching Of grasshoppers will be-
gin within a week if warm weather
prevails according to M. j. Peterson,
extension agent. Although a very
small hatch Is expected this year
there are localities where outbreaks
may occur In Sheridan county.
Farmers should observe closely
for g~rasshoppers as when they are
small they are difficult to see,"
warned Mr.. Peterson. "Hatchings
should be reported to the Extension
office In order that control measures
may be started"
"A number of farmers have poison
ctored on their farms and 1t would
be well to keep 1t until all POSSIBLE
tiles for outbreaks are passed. Ar
engagements will be made later for
disposing OF poison stored on farms"
Scattering of poison should be
made between $50 and 1920 in the
forenoon as the hoppers are hungry
then and most effective results may
be obtained" stated the County
agent. Later s~catterings may re-
suit in poor control. BY midmorning
hoppers are practically thru feeding
for the day. Poison should not be
scattered until the temperature is
above 70 degrees"
Supplies OF hopper poison are
stored In Homestead, Westby, Com
ertown, McElroy, Dooley and Out
look. Three cars of poison have been
shipped to North Dakota where a
much more severe outbreak Is ex-
pected.
