FARM GROUPS HEAR
EXTENSION AGENTS
AT TWO DAY MEET
Problems Facing Sheridan
Farmers Will Be Dis
cussed by Group

Delegates from farm groups are in
Plentywood today attending an agric-
ultural conference. The conference
started yesterday and is being held at
the county court room More than ff-
ty delegates are here for the sessions.
The two day conference is in charge
of County Agent M. j. Peterson,
County Agent Supervisor Carl Peter
son of Bozeman and G. H. Bingham,
irrigation extension specialist
The national agricultural situation
was discussed at the first session held
Wednesday morning while the 'natur-
al agricultural Of Montana
principal crops of Sheridan county
and livestock in Sheridan county"
were also discussed.
According to data compiled by the
Montana extension department, Sc
percent of Sheridan county has No. Z
soil which is of the best Of soil 10 be
found in Montana. On an average, but
little No. 2 soil is found in the state,
the majority being 3 and A grade Ac-
cording to the estimates, approxim-
ately 100000 acres in Sheridan county
is excellent soil of the No. 2 classif-
cation. The extension department
contends that Sheridan county soil is
the best in eastern Montana.
At Wednesdays session charts were
produced showing the average county
rainfall. The average annual rainfall
in the extreme northwest portion OF
the county was from 10 to IL inches
while the rest of the county had an
average rainfall Of 13 to 16 inches. A
chart showed that since 1927 the aver
age rainfall for the county had been
far below normal.
Irrigation Specialist Bingham stated
that Sheridan county was in the path
of storms which originated in the
Hudson Bay area and which presllm-
ably regulated moisture. Since 1927
the storm path sighted this section
but last years indications were that
the cycle was returning.
Discussion today will be on what
approximate percentage of the crop
land of the county should be perman-
emily retired from crop production,
what percentage should stay in crop
production that will conserve soil and
furnish livestock feed, range land ov-
ergrazed and adjustments in livestock
production.
The Plentywood Lions club were
hosts to the delegates at a 3 o'clock
luncheon yesterday.
Along with the farm conference to-
day is a Farmers Day" program
sponsored by the International Har-
vester company with j. G.. Haney,
noted agriculturist as the speaker Of
the day.

AN APPEAL.

Devastating floods have wrecked
homes and caused millions of dollars
of untold damage throughout eastern
United States. Property damage and
loss of life has been enormous Thous-
ands have been made homeless.
The need for help in the flood
stricken areas is great and the Red
Cross and other charitable institutions
are on the job, doing a great work in
assisting the flood stricken people.
More funds are needed. Gov. Elmer
E. Holt has called upon the people OF
Montana to do their bit, by making
contributions no matter how large or
small, to the local Red Cross chapter.
Readers of the Herald are familiar
with the work the Red Cross has done
in the way of relief in Sheridan coun-
ty and Montana and The Herald feels
confident that Sheridan county will
want to share in the work carried on
by the Red Cross.
The people of Sheridan county have
always donated literally for disaster
relief and Red Cross officials feel that
this major appeal will not be neglect
ed.
The Herald will accept donations for
this cause as will the Red Cross chap
ter with headquarters at Plentywood.
Funds will be sent to the food areas
as soon as they are received.
All contributions will be gratefully
received by the Sheridan county chap
ter of the American National Red
Cross.

CONTEST
K BIG HIT

Many amateur Sheridan county
musicians and entertainers have sig
niied their intentions of entering the
American Legion amateur contest to
be sponsored by the local post here
May %.
Application blanks have been dis
tributed and much enthusiasm has
been shown.
One question which seems to come
to the minds of aspirants is what the
local American Legion post considers
professionals" Anyone who sings,
plays an instrument or uses his tai
ent occasionally or regularly for COM
pensation is classified as a professional
for that particular talent and would
not be eligible for the amateur con-
test.
However, if one plays a saxophone,
say in an orchestra, he would not be
barred from entering under some 9TH
er classification, such as tap dancing.
Amateurs are asked to file their APP
plications early. Applicants must be at
least fifteen years of age and all blanks
must be filed not later than April Is.
A preliminary addition will be held
in brentwood May 8.

outline ON AAA
SET-UP REVEALED

I specific example of how the new
soil conservation farm program would
operate on one farm has been out
lined. Although details of the new
farm program have not as yet been
announced, the skeleton workings OF
the set-up are being released.
The example follows: Surprising q
Sheridan county farmer owns 32O
acres. He usually plants $50 acres Of
spring wheat; IS acres of rye; so acres
OF oats and the remainder in pasture
Of some form.
His soil depletion base acreage
would be those acres usually planted
IN wheat, rye, oats, a total of 235 acres.
The AAA says, except in the case OF
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, sugar beets,
sugar cane, flax and rice, that a farm
er may not receive a subsidy payment
for shifting more than Is percent of
his soil depicting" base to soil con-
serving crops.
Fifteen percent Of 235 acres would
be 35.25 acres.
The farmer might elect to shift 1925
acres Of wheat land to a soil conserva-
ton crop. (His rye crop already
would be planted at this time.)
Surprising that the farmer had av-
erage yields, he would receive about
$40 an acre for shifting each acre OF
wheat land to a soil conserving crop.
This would amount to S352.50.
In addition, he might receive as
much as 81 an acre for planting the
1925 acres in a soil conserving crop.
This would raise his payment TO $751;
Is.
Finally, if the farmer plowed under
his rye to improve the soil, he might
receive as much as 81 an acre for the
rye, or $35 90 for the IS acres.
The farmers payment for "soil con
serving under AAA definitions would
be S352.50. His payment for "soil
building would be S35.25 for a crop
replacing wheat, plus S35 for rye.
The farmer thus would get S422.75.

They went into the long, cool dim

Aunt Lulu sat at one end of the long
board, and Virginia's father, hand

fifties, at the other.
All through the meal, Virginia was
nervous.
Henry Van Tyle-a name of dig
nifty, of almost regal beauty! Be-
fore her rose vision of this splen-

she'd woven dreams about, but never
thought that she would meet.
"There's Lefty's old bus, I do de-
clare!" cried Chotty at the sound of
approaching wheels. Dinner was over
and the two girls were on the porch,
where a slim young moon held the old
moon in her arms over the magnolia
trees, and the air was heavy with the
perfume of flowers. "Mercy on us!
what handsome shieks! Look at their
clothes! Which one is mine, Virgin
ia?"
ooh, hush!" AS the car drew up,
Henry and George stepped out-then
Lefty. The latter said to Henry:
sD'you mind if 1 go in for minute
to speak to the old man about that
horse?" This was just a ruse to see
Chotty.
Virginia's father came out on the
porch and welcomed the young men.
Chotty, ignoring Lefty completely,
had her eyes glued upon the handsome
Henry.
Why wouldn't he "fall' for her l?
Chotty had a good opinion of her self.
Virginia might have considerably
more beauty, but hadn't she "a line
that could bowl men over like nine
pins and coolies of jokes and vivacity !
Why on earth did that darn-fool
Lefty keep poking around? He was
all right enough when there was no.

"Say, Miss Chotty, you look as tho

Lefty was saying.
"Well. what of it?"-tartly.
"Oh, nothing-but l like your hail
that way better than in pigtails. Say
when are we going to have another

"When you get REAL car instead
of that old buzz-wagon!"
