STILL Time FOR
SOIL PRACTICES
EXTENSION DIRECTOR SAYS 4
NUMBER OF '37 PRACTICES
STILL AVAILABLE

There is still time 10 carry out a
number OF practices under the 1881
agricultural conservation program
for the class two, or soil-building
payment, j. C. Taylor, director,
Montana Extension service reminds
farmers.
Taylor lists four practices and
the rate Of payment for each. These
are: construction of dams. Is cents
per cubic yard of fill; diking for
flood irrigation systems, 81 per acre
flooded; seeding of sweet clover, 81
per acre; and seeding of crested
wheatgrass, SO per acre.
For the farmers who plans TO
build a dam, Taylor explains that
the maximum payment that can be
received is limited by the soil-buil-
ding allowance of the farm. For
that reason Sheridan county far
mers should consult Harry Ehr-
manntraut and find out the amount
of his allowance before beginning
actual construction. Taylor also
points out that the range allowance
can be applied only to dams on
range land and the soil-building al
lowance In the crops program can be
applied only to dams built on farm
land.

Federal Aid May Be Obtained
for County Feeder Roads

Under a proposed plan worked
out by Don a. McKinnon, state
highway engineer. federal aid for
surfacing feeder roads may be OBJ
tanned for those counties financially
able to grade the roads with their
own equipment and labor, it was
announced this week.
Heretofore, the state has been un-
able to match federal aid funds for
feeder roads, because of insufficient
revenues from its gasoline taxes.
The federal bureau of public roads
also required contributions from the
state or counties before 1t would al
locate funds for feeder road surface
ing.
Montana faces difficult times in
maintaining its ever-growing system
Of improved highways, Engineer Nc
Kinnon said.

Herring stated that graveling

way department. Gravel will be used
from three different locations. The
first is located on the Heppner farm

struction, another pit on the Dooley

From 40 to 60 men are being used
on the project. the number at any
n time depending largely on the
number of trucks in use.
With work on this letting moving
along fayorably, residents Of both
Westby and Plentywood are concen-
trating their efforts towards secur-
ing a letting of the remaining Is
miles to complete the road to West

Plentywood Youth Is
First to Report Take
of Banded Waterfowl

Britt Chandler Jr., husky and ar
dent young duck hunter is the first
to report the take of a banded duck
during the 1887 hunting season in
this area.
Britt Jr. brought down a mallard
hen in the Reserve vicinity the OPP
ening day which carried a Biological
department band. With the serial
number was the figure "34," pre-
sumably designating that the bird
was banded in 1884.
The Biological Survey department
at Washington is to be notified and
young Britt will learn from them
the history of the bird which was
brought down.

GIVEN
HUNTERS IN AREA
ON OPENING DAYS
Bags Light in Opening Two
Days of Duck Shooting in
This Area

Hunters swarming to sloughs and
lakes in this area Saturday and
Sunday with the opening of the mi
gratory waterfowl shooting season
received their biggest set-backs in
years.
Although general reports were of
an increased amount of waterfowl,
hunters went to favorite haunts
light-hearted and prepared for the
take. The trek %homeward for many
was with empty bags and puzzled
thoughts.
Cloudless skies the opening morn
ing were in the ducks favor and
they winged over at tremendous
heights. Passes which in former
years on opening days have given up
birds proved to be the poorest hunt
ing spots in most instances.
The opening shots flushed the
ducks from the lakes and sloughs
and they winged high, many of them
flying to the Medicine Lake bird
refuge area where they were afford
ed protection.
Goose lake is believed to have car
rled the greatest number of ducks
on the opening day. But few shots
were fired there, however, as when
the ducks took off" they circled
high and flew directly southwark to
the Medicine Lake area.
Hunters covering the small creeks
and rivers of this section brought in
the most plentiful bags. Wolf Creek
and the Big Muddy river were choice
shooting grounds.
Two to five birds was the average
take per hunter in this area on the
opening day and Sunday many hun
tiers returned empty-handed.
Drouth which dried many natural
breeding sloughs and lakes undoubt-
edly brought about the most drastic
reversal for hunters.
Hunters and sportsmen of this
area are marking time and are
awaiting the northern flights which
are expected to get under way soon
followin greports from the north
lands that ducks are banding to-
gether for their flights southwark.

CHICKEN THEFTS
ARE REPORTED
MORE THAN 200 CHICKENS RE-
PORTED MISSING In THIS
AREA

y new form of wholesale thievery,
that of stealing chickens, made its
appearance in the brentwood vicin-
ity the past few weeks.
1t was estimated today that 200
chickens have been stolen from
farms in this vicinity, some being
taken from coops in daylight when
farmers were away from home, and
others robbed from the roosts at
night.
An east Plentywood farmer re-
ported the loss of about SIS young
friers from his %barnyard. Another
reported more than 60 missing from
his barnyard and another about rs
and 10 were reported missing at
another farm.
The wholesale stealing is a puzzle
to officials. 1t is believed, however,
that the chickens are being stolen
and transported to ready eastern
markets. A good frier or hen brings
z5 cents a pound dressed.
The thefts so far have been from
farm wives who have been bringing
along" flocks which in some instan-
ces were to have provided ~necessi-
ties of life in view of another crop
failure.
The thief who stole the chickens
from the Plentywood farmer in the
daytime did so when the farmer was
in brentwood on a business mis-
sion. The loss was detected upon his
return home. The thief undoubtedly
had knowledge of his absence from
the place.

Scores of applications for Public

been withdrawn in the past few
days from State PWA offices
as a result of restrictions imposed
on PWA grants, preliminary re-
ports received here revealed to-

The requirement imposed by
President Roosevelt that the
greater part of PWA grants must
be used to pay wages for relief
labor at the site of construction
has stalemated almost the entire
program.
Since this regulation was i'm
posed, PWA has made offers Of
grants totaling only 2,169, $50 in
more than two months, and only
one offer has been accepted. An
outright grant of 100000 was
made to Colorado for highway
work. but no restrictions were
placed.
The President and Public Works

Pennsylvania that PWA would be
in position to offer" that State
up to $4,000, 900 for its public in
