GLACIER DAM new
WATER SOURCE TO.
CARBON FARMERS
N. P. Publication Tells
Of Project Near
Red Lodge

From H.. H. Ellsworth, Helena,
assistant general freight agent
for the Northern Pacific railway,
comes a copy of "The Northwest" "
agricultural development publica-
tion for the railway, which con-
tains an article on irrigation pro-
jects in Montana.
The May issue, sent to the Car
bon County News, says the fol-
lowing about the Glacier Lake
dam now being completed along
Rock Creek south of Red Lodge:
ALREADY one of the new reser-
voirs, which are a keystone of the
new Montana program, has been
filled for use during the present
cropping season. This is the man.
made lake ON Red Lodge creek in
central Montana on the Red
Lodge-Rock Creek Irrigation pro-
ject. Late in April there were 20,-
900 acre-feet of water in this re-
servoir. Its capacity is $4,000
acre-feet. By the close of the
year construction work on the
Red Lodge-Rock Creek project
will have been finished with COM
pletion of Glacier Lake reservoir,
which is back in the, high Bear
Tooth mountains south of Red
Lodge, where a dam is being built
to assure storage of 5000 acre
feet more of water. Thus, the
Red Lodge project, which has
about $4,000 acres under irriga-
tion ditch, will bring to fruition
this summer the first major con-
struction effort in a widespread
Montana program.
'For the most part this project
brings to farmers a more reliable
water supply and is not contem-
plated primarily for creation Of
more irrigated area: 1t is to
stabilize and amplify the flow for
farmers already at work there.
Without storage, there often has
been shortage in late summer
when a number of intensively cul-
tivated crops most needed mois-
ture to put on extra bushels and
tons. Anther critical time occurs |
in May in irrigating some of the |
crops up. Storage gives a full re-
servoir to start on in May. Dur
ing the June runoff, when the |
summer cheat has begun to drain
water out of the mountain SHOWS,
the reservoir supply will be re-
plenished again to be available
for late August and September ir-
rigations. More farmers now can
get contracts with the canning
factory because cannery officers
know that a crop will come
through and not be nipped by
water shortage at a critical time.
Seed pea growers have a new op-
portunity to assure themselves a
maximum yield, as do sugar beet
growers. No longer in the Red
Lodge country will the farmer
fear the loss of investment in seed
and seedbed preparations, nor the
impoverishing ordeal of a season
Of extremely low yields"

CRICKET CONTROL
DRIVE IN COUNTY
IS GOING STRONG
Two Hundred Men Working
In Communities
Of Carbon

The control work against NOR
mon crickets. in Carbon county
continues unabated with upwards
of 200 men working in Is COM
munities on both the east and. west
sides of the county dusting, using
barriers and oiling the canals and
bitches and burning these crickets
in an effort to control the same.
A total of 10000 feet of barrier
has been secured by the county.
and placed in different sections in
an effort to turn the tide and to
fence out the crickets in certain
sections. This barrier consists of
galvanized turn fences 10 to IL"
in heighth, constructed with traps
Or pits along them in such way
that they will collect the crickets
where they move against the soil.
Yellowstone county secured a
much greater quantity of these
barriers and placed them in areas
to keep them out of irrigated Sec
tions. Eighteen tons of arsenic dust
has been used by the crews thus
far and % tons of dust has been
ordered which will arrive in the
very near future for use by these
crews. Crickets are on the move
and it is reported by many of the
crews that these crickets will move
from a mile to a mile and half
a day and that where dusting op-
erations are carried on that dead
crickets will be found a long dis
tance from the place where they
were actually busted. Poison bait
has also been used with varying
success in different sections.
Many other different methods
have tried out, such as burrows in
an effort to turn these bands. The
of all crickets on the
western side of the county, accord
ing: to- reports received at the ex-.
5ension office, is southWard to-
ward the mountains and the move
nent on the east side of the coun-
Y which was formerly northwest
n most sections has now reverted
nd the crickets are now moving
outh again. The next two weeks
will be very critical ones.
The third shift communities has
cen arranged for and it is pointed
ut by o. P. Roberts, county agent,

pplying for work that it is more
han likely that they will have to

to perform. For instance, the wat
er pump of modern car requires
special water pump lubricant and
not the same grease you might use
on the steering gear or in the rear
or transmission. Many of the 1887
models are so constructed that
they require highly specialized
lubricant for the rear end, hypoid
gears. It's fact, and if an ordin-
ary gear grease is used in these
cars, it isn't long before the gears
show evident signs of fast wear
and will have to be replaced miles
ahead of time.
When an early breakdown like
this occurs, too many motorists are
apt to place the blame on almost
anyone but themselves, yet they
were the ones who permitted in
ferior work to be done on their
cars. Personally, always advise
my friends to have such work per-
formed by a Sunoco Licensed Lub-
rication specialist. He cannot quail
fy as a Sunoco Licensed Lubrica-
tion expert until he has satisfied us
as to his mechanical understand
ing, his equipment and his stock of
Sunoco Lubricants. He must al
ways have the proper Sunoco Lub-
ricants and equipment, a special
chart, which lists cars by name,
year and model, and which shows
him exactly which lubricant to use
at every point. Sunoco Licensed
fabrication costs no more than
ordinary, old-fashioned greasing,
but it saves much in car life and
overhead. I am recommending it
to all my friends at this time be-
cause almost every car needs a
thorough fabrication job before it
sets out on a long Labor Day
