JUDGE CR|T|C|zES
OIL FIRMS LAWYER
Would Stop References to
Roosevelt in Price
Fixing Case.
Ey the Associated Press,

Ey the Associated Press.
MADISON. Wis. October Fed
eral Judge Patrick T. Stone cracked
down today on Defense Counsel
William j. Donovan's references to
President Roosevelt as sanctioning
gasoline price stabilization operations
for which % major oil companies are
on trial.
Referring to Donovan's opening
statements to the jury yesterday in
which the chief counsel pictured the
big oil companies as acting to save a
distressed industry at the suggestion
OF the Government under the n. r. A.
oil code, Judge Stone said:
Il don't want any more references
to what President Roosevelt has said.
don't want any hearsay."
We can call to the stand men who
were present at conferences with the
President" said Donovan. indicating
some of the 46 oil executives who sat
In court as defendants.
You contend YOU acted with the au-
thorlty of law the judge replied.
That is all you have to prove"
Donovan had told the jury that both
President Roosevelt and Secretary Of
the Interior Harold L. Ickes, admins
TRAITOR of the oil code before N. r. A.
was outlawed in 1885. had approved
the operations for which the % COM
panies were indicted under the Sher-
man antitrust act
The oil companies based their de-
tense on a contention they acted ito
save a great industry"
Col. Donovan told the jury in his
opening statement that the Govern
ment wanted us to do what we did,
He referred to buying programs he
said were sponsored by the N. R. A.
Petroleum Code Administration. under
Which the major Oil companies
bought the gasoline supply of small
independent reflneries.
These reflners," he said, were in
euch distress that they came to the
defendants and to the Government
for aid and for assistance. and they
thank these men for having saved
them from destruction.
The Government alleged the COM
panles later bought up the independ-
ent refiners' gasoline at artificially
raised prices as part of a conspiracy
to rig" the market.

Farm Conservation Program

BOHEMIAN, May 3.-The county
average payment rates for diversion
under the 1887 Agricultural Conser-
alton program, and the county av-
erage soil-building allowance rates
for both diversion farms and non
diversion farms, were announced
today by ]. G, Taylor. director of
the Montana extension service.
These rates vary according to the
productivity of the land They are
separate from the allowance r.ru-
visions for commercial orchard and
vegetable land and for non-crop
pasture land
In Lincoln county, the county av-
erage rate is $500 per acre, the
county average soil-building al
loWance rate (for diversion farms
only is $685. an acre for each acre
diverted for diversion payment.
and the county average soil-build-
ing allowance rate is 81 cents for
each acre of cropland on non-di-
version farms, or for each acre OF
commercial orchard on diversion
| farms.
by multiplying these county rates
by the productivity index for his
farm, farmer can figure the farm
rate and calculate the amount he

Lincoln County Farm
Population on Increase
BY Paul May

WASHINGTON, D. C., May al
While farm people in general have
been moving out of drought cotin-
ties faster than they moved In dur
ing the period 1890 to 1885, the
farm population of Lincoln county
increased almost 40 per cent. ac-
cording to study made by
the WPA.
More farm families moved into
Lincoln county than into any other
county in Montana, in proportion
to population
And while the population IN
creased, the number of farms in
creased even more, or 46 per cent.
At present the farm population is
2,603, and the number of farms, 734.
Recent droughts, officials say. are
not wholly responsible for distress
in drought counties, and return tc
normal rainfall would not insure
prosperity. Rather there must be
an adjustment between the people
and the land, and poor land should
not be farmed
Though $4,000 farm families
moved from drought counties dur
ing the five-year period, $4,000 OF
the remaining families are surplus
because their land is Improbable
the WPA states. In order to prevent
aimless and expensive migration,
the WPA declares that all relief,
work and rehabilitation agencies OF
government should give special al
tention to families in drought com
ties.

the games played here over the

have been lost had it not been for
costly errors.
The game Sunday afternoon went
to the lake team by score OF to s.
1t looked like an easy thing for the
locals in the first inning. Occur
d'Alene did not score in the first
frame while Libby runners chalked
up three scores with apparent ease.
Several good hits were garnered
| by the locals, Borden lining out
one into right field that should have
been three Dagger but which was
stretched into a home run by an
overthrow.
But after that first inning the
Occur d'Alene pitcher frightened up
and Libby batterS were very much
at his mercy. The visitors crepi
up on the Libby lead one score ar

This fire might have been in

untold damage and loss said X. A.
Klehm, forest supervisor. Because
it didn't was not the fault OF the
man who carelessly threw away a

With hot weather coming ON. the
