Diamond in Reply to
Stockton's Accusation

Jay G.. Diamond Of Helena, federal
statistician for Montana, recently re-
piled to criticisms made at Butte by
w. L. Stockton, farm census supervisor
for the first congressional district, that
the information being obtained by the
census was of little or no value.
Diamond, at Billings, to confer with
railway officials regarding bean ship
ments, said:
Mr.. Stockton's criticisms of the
census will not be taken seriously by
anyone except Mr.. Stockton. It re-
minds me of the story of the California
man who died and went to heaven.
He wouldn't stay there because he did
MT like it.. The government has been
collecting census information for nearly
a century and a half and is therefore
well qualified to decide what informa-
ton it wants and to prescribe the
methods by which such information
should be collected"

STATE WILL HAVE
BIG WHEAT CROP
1872, 900 MORE BUSHELS ALLOWED
UNDER ORDER FROM FEDERAL
ADMINISTRATION

BY modifying restrictions on plant
ing of wheat in 1885. the agricultural
adjustment administration has mad

proximately 1872 900 acres of wheat
for Montana farmers, who have al
lotmcnt contracts, j. C. Taylor. di-
rector of extension at Montana State
college. announces.
Liberalization of 1885 wheat plant
ing. however, is contingent upon agree
ment to sign a contract and make
equivalent additional reduction in 1886,
according to a telegram received by
Director Taylor from Washington. h
additional acreage cannot be over 10
percent of the base acreage. Under the
program the contracted acreage is still
required for 1885 and limitation on
other farms not under contract, still
holds.
The liberalization does not justify
deliberate overseeing. officials warn.
County allotment committees must APP
prove increases under this revised plan.
Modifying Of restrictions will not at

farmers. Each farmer under contract
will receive his adjustment payment on
his allotment whether he increases his
paintings or not. However. if the farm
on which 1885 paintings are increased
changes QdLQS DetNteu 1900 dllu 1Soo,
the second 1885 payment will go to the
1896 producer.
Lifting of restrictions on paintings
was decided upon by the agricultural
adjustment administration as a pre-
caution against drouth this year in i'm
portant wheat regions. especially the
great plains area. where rainfall and
subsoil moisture have been below nor
ma. Increasing production offers con-
sumers protection against lowered
wheat carryovers and benefit payments
will provide some crop income insur-
ance for producers.
Although the plan applies principally
to spring wheat paintings, wheat farm
ers who planted excess winter wheat
for pasture last fall may allow these
paintings to mature if they sign agree
ments for corresponding future reduc-
lions.
1t is estimated this plan will allow
the planting of between 1000, 900 and
1000, 900 acres more for wheat for 1885
than would otherwise be the case and
production of wheat will be increased
by between 10,0 0 900 and 10000, 900
bushels

PLANTS MUST BE
FED PROPERLY
A NUMBER OF ELEMENTS ARE
NEEDED FOR MAXIMUM BEAUTY
AND GROWTH

Is there any of US who would not
like to have a rich, velvety green
lawn around our home; beautiful
flowers growing from spring until
fall, luxuriant shrubbery to add grace
to our home setting and healthy, full
foliaged trees? All OF us have
thought of growing things around
our home just like those we see in
the catalogues we receive from seeds
men and nurserymen, and IN the gar
dening sections of popular magazines
but after some of us have tried time
after time and our efforts have re-
suited in total failure, or have been
rewarded with only poor specimens,
we have decided that we just don't
have any luck growing things, or that
q soil is simply too poor to grow
anything.
Now, in reality, luck has nothing to
do with growing plants, but it is true
that poor soil, that is, soil lacking the
il the cause of most gardening fail
ures. The soil around most of the
homes in towns and cities is usually
deficient in plant food, either because
the supply originally placed there by
nature has been consumed by plants
grown year after year, or because none
existed in the first place. This latter
cause is often the case, especially
around homes where grading was done
prior to building, OF where the exca-
waited subsoil from the basement was
thrown on the surface and leveled off.
We must remember that plants are
living things just like you and I. and
that they must have air, water, light,
heat and food in order to live and
thrive.
The development of a plant is reg
ulated by the kind and amount of food
it receives. Plants require a balanced
diet for normal, healthy growth, just
like animals and human beings, etc:
A number of elements are needed by
them for maximum growth and beauty.
Three Of these elements are supplied
by air and water; the remaining must
come from the soil. A deficiency Of
n of the necessary plant food Gle
mentS may be the limiting factor in
the growth of the plants.
1t isn't necessary to guess whether or
not your plants are receiving all OF the
plant food elements they need for
healthy growth. Their entire require
ments can be met by applying sclen-
tifically prepared plant food such as
Plantone.
Get enough plant food for everything
you grow, and know the pleasure one
gets from successful gardening.

PRESBYTERY HELD AT DOVER
Discuss Revision of Some of the
Rules and Other Matters

Rev. James r. Galley, minister
of the Smyrna Presbyterian
Church and delegation, attended,
Monday, an adjourned session of
the Presbytery of New Castle held
at Dover. The meeting was for
the main purpose of discussing a
revision of the Rules of the Pres
bytery and to that end practically
the entire session was given over
to the consideration of many
changes in the manual of the Pres
byterf Adoption, however, of the
rules will not be considered until
the April meeting. While many of
the existing rules of the Presby-
terry were adopted there were sew
eral changes. One important
change however, and around which
the whole manual rests was that of
the adoption of committee of
committees whose duties will be to
appoint all the standing commit
tees of the Presbytery. Another
change is that of the holding of
three stated meetings during the
year, a stated meeting in April, a
one day meeting in June and an
other stated meeting in October.

sion, DR.. Herman G. Weber, of

To Start Next Monday in

is A FEDERAL PROJECT

Beginning next Monday, Janu-
ary 21st, the Better Housing Cam
paign will be launched in Smyrna,
under the auspices of the local
Lieutenant-Governor r.
F. Corley. Mr.. Edward T. Rick
ards has been appointed to make a
personal canvass of all property
owners in the community in order
to ascertain how many are con-
templating making repairs or i'm
provements on their properties.
The idea back of the Better Hous-
ing program is to impress upon all
property owners that now is the
time to make necessary repairs
and improvements on their prop
critics. Such alterations will not
only add to the usefulness and
value of the properties, but will, at
the same time, give relief in the
form of useful work to all unem-
ployed mechanics and artisans in
the community. If a property own
er does not have the available cash
to carry out these contemplated
improvements, it is possible, under
the Better Housing Plan, to secure
aid from any of the local banks,
contractors, and building supply
dealers in order to finance these
improvements. Now is the time to
improve your property and put
men to work.
