Many of the contracts are found
faulty and incomplete. Leases
of the land operated by producers
are lacking in many cases. Con-
tracts cannot be approved until
leases have been filed with ad-
justment contracts. It is nee
essary to hold such contracts
back until they are complete.
Signatures are not complete In
many OF the contracts. Recent
rulings from Washington make
1t necessary that additional in

Attorney D.. L. Egnew named

David l.. Egnew, Hardin attor-

chairman for Big Horn county of
the Montana County Protective
association, which was organized
for the purpose of securing an
amendment to the state consti-
tuition which would prevent the
enforced consolidation of the
smaller counties of the state with
larger ones, without first sub
hitting the proposition to a vote
of the counties concerned. The
amendment has already been
favorably acted upon by the sen-
ate and is in a fair way to pass
the house. Passing the legislature
and being approved by the gov
ernor, the proposed amendment
would be voted upon at the next
general election.
There is another danger to the
smaller counties-that the pro-
ponents of enforced consolida-
ton may initiate a measure at
the next election which would &C
complish their purpose, as the
larger counties could out-vote
the smaller ones. It will be the
purpose of the Montana County
Protective association to keep
alert and on the job and see that
the rights of the smaller counties
are protected.

TO BOOST FOR WATER
CONSERVATION MEASURE
Bill Introduced in the Senate
To Broaden the Powers of
the State Board.

Governor Cooney's program of
coordination Of recovery activities
in Montana took a decisive step
forward, Tuesday afternoon, when
the senate, without a dissenting
vote, passed Senate Bill No. 127,
less than two hours after the
governor had delivered his special
message urging adoption of this
and other measures.
The bill provides for a broad
enlng OF the powers and duties Of
the Water Conservation board,
making it an agency where a
great number of recovery activi-
ties can be co-ordinated, doing
away with needless duplication of
work. The Water Conservation
board would be empowered to
make loans and accept grants for
flood control, irrigation systems
and projects, conservation, recla-
nation, rural identification and re-
hao11tation and many other pub
lie works. The board will be
authorized to accept from private
ownership gifts of land and to
improve and sell land thus C
quired. The issuance of revenue
bonds payable from the income
OF the projects is also included
among the powers given the
board.
Prompt action on this and
other bills included in Governor
Cooney's water conservation pro-
gram Is expected to receive con-

vii UTILIZE FLOOD
WATERS TO RAISE GRASS

To Offset threatened drought
conditions locally, Superintendent
Yellowtail has ordered all irr1-
CATION bitches on thee Crow In
dian reservation opened for i'm
mediate use, the purpose being
to wet the soil with flood waters
from the mountains, rather than
to permit them to rush down
through the streams to the Gulf
of Mexico, and thus lose all the
early season moisture. BY taking
advantage Of the early moisture
afforded by flood waters, Supt.
Yellowoail feels that, in the event
of another dry summer, the
moisture thus conserved would at
least be sufficient to provide a
fair crop of hay and other food
stuffs and be the means of light
ening the relief load of the en-
suing winter.
In this connection, Supt. Vel
lowtail urges that everyone hav-
ing lease right, or other water
right under the government
dltcheS Immediately call at his
Office at Crow Agency and clear
all back irrigation charges, so
that advantage may be taken OF
the early water. He states that
from now on early mid winter
irrigation will be the policy of
his office in order to avoid a
wild scramble for water when the
bitches are low.
Mid-winter irrigation of farm
and hay lands is a new innova-
ton in irrigation in Montana
flooding the frost out of the
ground, so to speak, and at the
same time taking advantage of
the early high water, and results
OF this experiment will be watch
ed with interest, all eyes being
turned on Crow Agency.

After New

Supt. Yellowtail To Ship Here rs
Buffalo Cows, Three Bulls
From MOeise Herd.

AS soon as he can complete
arrangements for five motor
trucks, which probably will be by
next Monday morning, Supt. Rob-
ert YelloWtail of the Crow reser-
walton, accompanied by a corps of
a half dozen assistants, will leave
for the Moeise game refuge of the
u. S. biological survey, near Mis-
soula, where Is buffalo cows and
three buffalo bulls will be loaded
and brought to the bison range
in the Big Horn mountains, south
of Hardin, where thew will be lib
Grated and turned in with the
buffalo brought in December from
the Yellowstone National Park, to
be used for breeding purposes.
Superintendent Yellowtal also
has been assured of a shipment of
100000 native Cutthroat trout
from the Yellowstone park and
the Bozeman hatcheries to be
transported as soon as spring
opens for transplanting in the
streams of the Crow Indian reser-
walton.
-, The superintendent also has
the promise of 20 black bears and
10 grizzlies, which will be liber-
ated in the Wolf and Big Horn
mountains in the spring. This
should make it interesting for
anglers with only a fish pole as
a weapon, as guns are prohibited
on federal controlled areas on
the Crow reservation.
To date Superintendent Yellow
tail has had planted on the Crow
reservation 81 buffaloes and 1870
head Of elk, IS of the elk in the
Wolf mountains and the balance
in the Big Horn mountains.
It is the intention of Supt.
Yellowtail to go to Canada the
coming summer ard procure three
large buffalo bulls for the up
building Of the Crow reservation
herd, which he feels will be the
finest herd of bison in existence.
AS soon as arrangements have
been made for their capture
Supt. Yellowtail intends to bring
N 800 head Of antelope, which
also will be planted on the Grow
reservation ranges.
With the addition Of all these
game animals, the Crow reserva-
ton VIII IN time become the
sportsmen's paradise.
