WALTON|ANS URGE
UPLAND SHOOTING
OPEN SEASON ON CHINKS AND
HUNS Is RECOMMENDED
by CLUB

II has been recommended by the
Plentywood Izaak Walton league
that a three-day open season on Chi
nese cock pheasants and Hungarian
cartridges be put in force in Sheri-
dan county this fall.
The recommendation is for a
three-day shooting period early in
October, and has been submitted to
the state fish and game commission.
1t is the clubs contention that in
view of a serious shortage of feed
for upland birds, it will be practic-
ally an impossibility to feed them
during the winter months as has
leen done in some localities in the
past
Winter would undoubtedly claim
its toll and by allowing sportsmen a
short hunt, birds which in all prob
ability may succumb during the win
ter would afford sport for hunters,
the purpose for which the birds
were primarily intended.
1t is believed that there is an
abundance of Hungarian cartridges
in the county. Chinese pheasants,
however, are not reported to be nu-
merous.

Tuesday that 25 men are employed.
This includes carpenters and cement

Monday afternoon the crew ran a

The old type of one-wheeled
wheelbarrows have been replaced by
two-wheeled rubber-tired hacks
which transport the mixtures from

The comprehensive revision of as
sessment practices for all counties of
Montana for the year 1898, was
made in compliance with the Joint
Senate and House resolution passed
at the last legislative session, direct
ing the board to prepare a procedure
for use of all county assessors.
The board consulted with various
Montana assessors and the state ex-
aminers and prepared the new pro-
cedure. The board will furnish every
Montana assessor with a blue print
copy of the plan, for next years as
sessments. The plan will eliminate
duplication of work and records,
simplify the keeping of assessment
lists, reduce the size of the assess
ment rolls and place all counties on
equal basis.
A uniform assessment law was
passed in 1924, followed for a time,
and then fell into disuse. Present
assessment practices follow a wide
variety Of patterns, and are i~naccur-
ate and bulky. In revising tbs auto
and trailer assessment practice, the
board will supply each county as
SCISSOR with a book and forms. In
computing taxes, county treasurer's
will use the millage levy for the

biles and trailers were assessed as Of

Carl Hole, Reserve,
Raises Ten Bushel
Wheat by Irrigation

That a little water by artificial
methods would be a boon to Sheri-
dan county farmers was conclusively
demonstrated this year by Carl Hol-
je. Reserve merchant and farmer
and ardent supporter of irrigation
for this area.
Carl Hole last week completed
threshing operations on land which
had received a flooding from the
Muddy earlier in the year.
One field, seeded with TEACHER
wheat, yieldel 10h bushls. per acre
of go pound wheat. A field of.ApeN
wheat averaged 10 bushels and a
parch of Ceres ayetaged ~.
Mr.. HaljeN also threshed sbO bu-
shells of oats from the irrigated
tract.
The land, just north of Reserve,
was seeded late-June sand was
FLOODED to a depth of about seven
inches. The water was pumped from
the Muddy river with a centrifugal
pump propelled by a tractor.
A small dam was constructed to
hold back the water in the river, to
make possible pumping due to the
lowness of the river at that time,
Due to it's shallowness, only the one
flooding was made.
Mr.. Hole says that the cost OF
irrigating was approximately SIPS
per acre.

CCC ENROLMENT
DATE IS OCT.

That the next enrolment date for
joining the CCC camps of Montana
will be October 1, has been an
nounced by the department of pub
lie welfare.
Montana has been allowed the
largest quota since the establish
ment OF the camps, and an attempt
is being made by officials to fill the
quota to the limit. Eligibility for en-
rollment includes the following re-
quirements:. ages II to 2.3, .meMber7
ship of a family now on relief, and
ability to pass a certain physical ex-
animation. Any previous enrollee
who has been discharged within the
past year will not be eligible for. re-
selection at this time.
Boys will apply at thsir focal pub
lie welfare office, and will.be sept,t0
Glasgow where army officers will
accept or reject them after asphys-
ical examination. Most .pf the boys
who enrolled in the July quota were
stationed near Belttm and& ,Glacier
park, and it is possible that the Oc-
Tober group will also be sent there.
Figures released by the depart
ment of public welfare show that Of
the SIG July applicants, only 20
were rejected because Of physical
disability, and that the remaining
4S7 drew a total monthly income Of
$14,610 throughout the state.
CCC enrollees from Sheridan
county receive $50 a month.
In view of the approaching enroll
ment date, the department of pub
lie welfare has announced that ad-
ditional educational advantages will
be offered during the winter 6-month
enrolment period, to enable stu
dents to continue high school work
for credit while in the camps.

AS a result of the recent addition
to the agricultural eopservation pro-
gram of the practice of constructing
Reservoirs for holding run-off water
on, crop land and non-crop land in
counties designated as emergency
tdfouth counties, it is still possible
for farmers to do considerable pro-
ftable work under the program, says
FIR. F.. Rasmussen, extension agent
for Sheridan county.
The emergency drouth counties
referred to include Glacier, Pondera,

Park and all counties situated to
the east of them. Rasmussen said.

r. f. Rasmussen points out that
because of unfavorable weather con-
ditions in most of the state, 1t has
been impossible or impracticable for
many farmers to carry out enough
approved practices to earn the No.
2 or soil building payment of the ag-
ricultural conservation program. For
those farms which thus far have not
been able to earn the maximum soil
building payment, the practice OF
constructing reservoirs would seem
to b ca good m to make 1t possible
to finish earning the maximum soil
building payment.
However, farmers contemplating
the construction Of such reservoirs
should keep In mind that the total
soil building payment is limited by
the soil building allowance for. the
farm. In some cases part Of. this

NEARLY 500 ARE
NOW EMPLOYED ON
COUNTY PROJECTS
WPA Program in Full Swing
in Sheridan; Much Work
Under Way

1t was announced today that 1873
Sheridan county men are employed
on WPA projects which constitutes
the full allotted quota for the 'coun-
ty.
Robert Ferris, county WPA fore
man, said today 1923 men are
working and will complete. their
shift Sept. IS. At that time, 165 men
will go to work.
The men are employed building
dams. the biggest project Of that
nature being the Carol dam north
west of Plentywood. Several hun
Tired men are working on a giant
road building program, instituted
within the county and greatly inn
proving the county's arterial high
ways.
Men are at work building the
Outlook gymnasium and crews are
employed on the court house con-
struction in Plentywood. A crew is
also extending the city sewer sys-
TEN.
Tireless efforts on the part of the
board of county commissioners in
securing enough machinery and
equipment, especially for dam and
road construction, and cooperation
of WPA officials has made possible
the full quota of employment for
Sheridan county.
According to WPA rulings, ma
chinery and equipment is to be fur
nished by the sponsors of projects.
BY sound, careful planning the
board of commissioners has been
able to place the nearly half a
thousand workers on WPA payrolls
doing permanent and constructive
Jobs despite the limited amount of
machinery available.
Payroll Boon
The 4SS men will draw in wages
each working day more than $4,000
and it is estimated that the total
monthly payroll will be in excess of
s25. 600.
Y. Hanson, district WPA engin-
eer, speaking before the Plentywood
Lions Wednesday. said it was anti
cipated to use three shifts on the
court house project as soon as suf-
ficient material is available. This is
to be done in order to expedite the
work before the frost is in the
ground.
Big Machinery at Carol
The engineer also stated 1t was
planned to put a La Torneau in OPP
Grafton at the Carol dam. This is
the type of equipment used in ex-
cavating for the court house here.
