Big MUDDY project
NOT Approved IT
IS LEARNED HERE
insufficient Funds Is Cause
Letter to Local Club
Reveals

Sheridan county's proposed Big
Muddy irrigation project fell by the
way-side as have numerous road
building promises and other projects,
according to word from Washington
Wednesday that the project was not
included In the PWA grants through
lack of funds.
The information came to Anton
Nelson, president OF the Plentywood
commercial club from Sen. James +.
Murray, who while at Washington
was making an effort to have the
project approved.
The application by the Montana
Water Conservation board to con-
struct a flood control project on the
Big Muddy in Roosevelt county has
also been tabled.
Sen. Murray stated however, that
he received assurance from PWA
authorities that should additional
funds become available these projects
would be given every consideration.
Murray enclosed copies OF a letter
from Harry Slattery of the PWA re-
garding the projects. Mr.. Slattery
said lit is regretted that the Sheridan
county project could not have been
included in the 5000, 900, 900 w. P. A.
grant program which was recently
announced. Failure OF inclusion, how
ever, should not be construed to in
dictate that the project is not desir-
able and sound, or that 1t has been
rejected"
Mr.. Slattery said that applications
for eligible grants amounting to over
$7OO, 100000 have been received,
whereas only $500. 900 900 was avail
able for ALLEGATION. Therefore, in Sc
lecting projects for the program the
administration realized that many
worthy projects could not be includ-
ed because OF that limited amount of
funds"
According to a survey made by the
State Water Conservation board the
entire Muddy valley from Daleview
to Medicine Lake could be irrigated.
Sheridan county was hopeful of
having the project approved.

Margin of Safety Is Plan
of Agricultural Program

The acreage reduction in the new
Agar wheat adjustment contract to
be offered Montana farmers has been
placed at a maximum of rs percent
merely to give a margin Of safety to
the plan in the event a series of ex-
ceptionally good crop year threaten
to result in an unwieldy surplus, j.
C. Taylor, director OF extension at
Montana State college, explains.
AS much reduction as this may not
be necessary in any year, Director
Taylor points out, and for 1886, for
instance, it has been set at S percent.
The initial contract provided that a
reduction of as much as 20 percent
might he asked for, but the most that
was required was Is percent in 1884.
The required reduction was 10 per.
cent in 1885.

Going South

Sheridan county hunters will take
to the sloughs, lakes and fields early
Monday morning for the first day Of

county, which has for many years
been a mecca for waterfowl, will not
be a hunters paradise as in former

terfowl have not as yet started their
southern flights from the wilds Of
Canada. This week, however, farm
ers coming to PlentywOod say that
geese have been seen flying south
ward.

ers will come home practically empty

fowl, hunters face the most rigid ru-
lings ever adopted by the biological

BAND TREES NOW
 AGAINST CANKER
Dr. BrittOn Advises PrO= lection From Worms
 By November 1

Isolated trees may be successfully protected from canker worms by banding on or before November l, states w. E. Britton, state entomo- logist at the New Haven agricultur- al experiment station. A reprint from Bulletin 368, Outbreak of Canker Worms" tells the habits of this voracious pest and how it may be controlled. It will be sent free to residents of Connecticut on appli- cation.
 Canker worms are these small, green or blackish measuring worms with stripes lengthwise of the body that stripped the trees of foliage last spring. Their number was le- zion and many persons viewed the results of their feeding with con- sternation. By the time they were reused to action however, it was too late to combat them.
 Now is the time to begin can1- paigning against next years crop of canker worms. Since last June they have been in the ground un- der the trees, but warm days in November and December will bring them out transformed into adult moths. The females are wingless insects and climb the trees to lay their eggs. Sticky bands around the trunks at this time, and in April and May when the eggs hatch, have been found effective in holding them back.
 Dr. Britton says that the bands may be purchased ready-made or may be manufactured at home. The experiment station devised the fol- lowing successful method of band ing trees:
 Encircle the trunk with a strip of cotton batting about two inches wide. this will fill the crevices of the bark and keep moths from crawling under the band. Draw a five-inch wide strip of single-ply tar paper taut over the cotton and tack in place. Paint the upper half of the tar paper with tree tanglefoot applied one-quarter inch thick, using 8 paddle for spreading. Keep this thoroughly sticky until January and again in April and May. If the band is covered with leaves and insects from time to time, it will need to be stirred up with notched peddle or repainted.
 Bands. should be placed about six feet above the ground so they will not be in the way of animals or people.
 While it is possible to apply tangle foot directly to the bark of the tree, Dr. Britton warns this method will permanently disfigure the trunk.
 Moths that are not caught in the tanglefoot will lay egg masses be- low the band on it. When the worms come out in spring, the bands must be painted again to prevent the creatures from climbing up to the leafy part of the tree.
 While banding is effective for isolated trees, Dr. Britton does not feel that it is so successful when
 many trees stand together, their branches interlacing. Sprays of lead
 arsenate applied in May also con- trol canker worms. Every tree own-
 CT should read Dr. Britton's cir-
 cular.

A campaign for financial aid in the home, farm and highway acci- dent prevention campaign sponsored by the Waterbury Chapter of Amer ican Red Gross as part of . nation wide project was launched to-day by the special gifts committee. An appeal for contributions has been sent to the city's social, military, and fraternal organizations, and in- dividual donations will also be ask ed.
 The accident prevention campaign here calls for the establishment of first aid stations at strategic points along the highways and the train- ing of personnel. The work is en- tirely voluntary. Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer, heads a large To- cal committee in charge of the work.
 Priests on Committee
 The special gifts committee which is receiving donations for the &C., cident prevention program is head ed by Charles P. Kellogg, and in- cludes Mrs. Mabelle l.. Newcomb, Rev. Eugene Cryne, Rev. Joseph Valdambrini and John M. Burrall. Following is the appeal received by several organizations to-day:
 November II to November 29, 1885 are important days Tn the life of the American National Red Cross as it is within that period an intensive drive is made for the enrolment of members.
 For the past year, the American Red Cross has carried on locally the numerous tasks made incumbent by Congressional Charter for the relief of the sick and wounded War Vet erans and their families, production of garments for their use and for the use of government hospitals; home nursing classes; life saving; swimming; first aid; Braille trans- cribing for the blind: and an inten- sive Junior Red Cross program in the public schools. Their disaster re- lief record speaks for itself. One hundred sixty catastrophies, the greatest number of disasters in any one of the fifty four years of Red Cross history with 611,000 victims, many of them injured, were given relief and a new start in life by the American Red Cross. The recent de- vastating floods in New York state claimed 36 lives. The Florida hurri- cane sent hundreds to death less than two months ago.
 Membership Needed
 The work of the American Red Cross in these appalling disasters is made possible by the annual enroll ment of members so that you who give locally are contributing to this immense and important work.
