Rural resettlement, as herein
referred to, means that at some
time in the future, farmers living
on unproductive dry land may be
given financial assistance by the
federal government, together with
an opportunity to relocate on
more productive soils, which, when
irrigated, will assure the operator
of an income sufficient to meet
his obligations and provide a bet
ter standard of living.
There is no need Of becoming
over enthusiastic concerning the
resettlement phase of this pro-
gram. Very few farmers will be
given an opportunity to move,
in fact. for the present the ad-
ministration IS only able, finan-
cially, to give assistance to those

includes thousands of ducks which

TIMELY SUGGESTION BY
REHABILITATION HEAD

marginal lands to the government
and are compelled to relocate.
1t is absolutely q waste of time
for you to write to your con-
gresham in Washington, or any
one else asking that they assist you
in being relocated. They cannot help
you, and you will be far better off
II you will try to produce some
thing where you now live that will
help you feed and clothe your
family next winter.
Past experiences have taught
us that nothing is impossible.
Congress may pass a law today
which may be declared unconSti-
tutional tomorrow. Today we are
able to get government relief. A
year from now we may all be
hungry. My best advice to those
who consider themselves farmers
and who have been getting relief,
is to start right now to produce
food Stuffs for next winter. Very
likely there Is a coulee some
where on the land you occupy,
from which you can divert a lit
tie water, or perhaps you have
we'll water that you can use for
~irrigating a garden. You are
also advised to grow feed for a
few cattle, especially milk cows,
poultry and a few pigs.
The time is drawing near when
the federal. government will no
longer furnish canned vegetables,
butter, lard, meat, and eggs TO
families who class themselves as
farmers. The question Immediate
ly arises, how can these food prod
ucts be produced when farm
ers have no equipment, no stock;
In fact, nothing to start with?
The answer is, contact your county
rural rehabilitation supervisor i'm
mediately and have him explain
to you what the government is do
Ing through the rural rehabilita-
ton division of the resettlement
administration, to help the desti-
tute and low income farmer. The
administration is going out of its
way especially to assist you in
becoming disappearing. It is
up to you to take advantage of
this program.
You may say that if you apply
to the rehabilitation division for
help you will be taken off WPA.
This may or may not be true,
but you may be taken off the
works project even If you do not
apply for assistance. These WPA
projects may not last forever for
the family whose business is farm
Ing and not construction work.
At any rate, this is the attitude
expressed BY Washington officials.
This rehabilitation program does
not only apply to the destitute
but to all low income farmers who
have exhausted their credit else
where and must have assistance
to continue their farming opera
There is a rural rehabilitation
supervisor working in every county
ut the state. VIM. E. Corkins is
the supervisor for Big Horn coun-
ty, his office being in the Hardin
post office building. Ralph v. Scott
Is supervisor for the Indians with
his office at Crow Agency. Full
particulars can also be had by
writing the state office of the Re-
settlement Administration, Boze-
man, Montana.

An Economic
Conference
Will Be Held at Hardin Friday and
Saturday, Feb. 1929, Discuss
County Program.

An economic conference to dis
cuSS the agricultural adjustments
that should be made to build a
stable agriculture in the state and
especially in this county, will be
held in Hardin on Friday and
Saturday, Feb. 1893, under the
estate and county extension SER
vice, according to Geo. w. Gus
tafSon, county agent.
This conference will lay the
ground work for a county program
that will be completed and defin-
tie recommendations made in the
spring of 1887. Six important
subjects will be gone into thor
oughly at the coming meeting, as
follows:
1.-The national agricultural sit
uation.
2-The tana agricultural
outlook.
3-Resources of the state and
county.
AThe present use pattern OF
agricultural resources.
5-Trends in crops and live
stock, including production and
prices.
6-ihe proDlem OF agricultural
adjustment.
Two representatives from the
state extension service at Boze-
man will be here to present some
fundamental data on the agricul-
tural situation.
The conference to be held in
Hardin is one of a series to be
held in every county of the state
during the next two months. A
sound plan or program for agri-
culture cannot be formulated
without the knowledge or funda-
mentals of the agricultural situa-
ton. The future of agriculture
in the several states of America is
of national concern, and every
nan dependent upon agriculture
for his livelihood is interested in
the future trends, outlook and
possibilities. The purpose of the
above conference is to study such
information available in order that
more intelligent planning is pos
sible, not only on a county. state
Or national basis, but on the in
diVidual farm as well.
