VALUE OF WATER BOARD
PROJECTS TO STATE GREAT

Montana citizens, despite the
drouth and hardship, still desire
to keep on living in Montana,
and development of the water
conservation program will make
it possible for them to remain
in the state and make an hon.
orable living.
Water Board Attorney c. J.
DouSman made the above state
ment and gave his reasons in a
recent address expressing ap-
probation of Governor Roy E.
Ayers as chairman of the water
board on behalf of Montana res
idents for aid of the PWA
Primary purpose of the water
board is to retain and make
good use of waters otherwise
wasted-Conserving water does
not mean refrainlng from its
use to save it for future genera
tons as with oil and coal, ne
said.
Conserving water is building
storage reservoirs to catch eX-

cess water for release when and
where needed. Crops and a live
lihood are aSSured-permanent
success and plenty replace fall
ure and despair when that Is
done, the statement continued.
At the present gigantic reser-.
voirs throughout the state are
filling, will be used some this
year and will be nearly all rea-
dy to moisten dry areas in 1859.
First crop after completion of
the Park Branch canal near
Livingston was nearly four
times as large as those of i'm
mediate prior years-one dist
riot reported the first success
full crop in 10 years after its
project was in operation. Resi-
dents of another area claim
crops the first year after their
project was completed were
worth the construction cost.
Persons who get and use the
water will pay for the states
share t55 per cent? of the pro-
jects. there is no tax on the
other residents of the state. Wa
ter users need not mortgage
their lands to get the water,
prices to other users will not
be raised if a neighbor de-
faults in payments.

PRICE BOOST IMPORTANT

With ample forage now on the
ground and at least a fair av-
erage grain crop now in sight
for Montana as a W-Iole, the
present apparent trend toward
higher grain prices is most en-
couraging to farmers" James T.
Sparllng, state commissioner of
agriculture, said Saturday. He
pointed out that even a very
ordinary" crop at a good price
is far preferable to a bumper
crop at a low price: 1T cost
money to grow wheat" Sparling
said, land unfortunately, ex-
penses must be met with dol
lars, not bushels" He added that
should this crop come through
with a fair price the most skep-
teal will be convinced that the
prosperity of Montana lies in
her farms"

But nowadays, Art realizes that that's nc way to put out an oil stove.
On this particular night, though, he didn't realize it. He
turned the wick down to the bottom, picked the stove up and
gave it a jerk. 1t didn't go out, o Art gave it another jerk

a rampage.

sitting right in the path of it In a split second she was flaming like
a HUMAN TORCH!
Saved Mother but Forgot About Dad.
Art dropped the stove and ran to her. Her clothes were blazing in
a dozen places. With his bare hands, he started tearing at her dress.
Il was pulling that fame apart" he says. Lord only knows how, but
1 kept pulling handfuls of burning cloth from her body. My brother
started coming down from the ladder he "a standing on. In the mean
time my mother and l had worked our way into the kitchen and my
brother joined me there
Art and his brother were beth pulling at those flames now, and they
were making Roadway. At length they had torn away the last bit Of
burning cloth-beaten ut the last spark. Then, suddenly, they thought
of their dad!
Art says that right there he got the worst fright Of his life.
They had forgotten about dad in the rush to take care of mother,
bat 10 they realized that he was the who really needed
their assistance most. Dad as heip!ess-praetoaHy an invalid.
He couldn't move out of his chair, and back there in the dining
room, the whole place a blazing.
Art turned to u into the dining room. The door leading TO it
was a raging furnace. A curtain of fame covered its whole length and
breadth. Art hesjtatcd just a fraction of a second. Then he plunged
right through the door. flames and ALL
Flames Couldn't Stop Art.
There was a smOkefLed space in the center of the room where the

In his arms.
His right shoe" Art says, was almost burned from his
foot. l started TO carry him toward the back door, but about half
way across the room l stumbled. Dad fell IN top of m lie and
knocked the wind on: Of me. thought I'd never get it back
again. Before did. the flames had crept up o n us"
1t was about that time that Art felt a terrible pain in his right leg.
When he looked at it he saw that the legs OF his trousers were afre.
But there was no time to lose. They had to get out of that room right
away. Art picked his dad up again and dragged him toward the door
with M arm while he was beating GU. the flames in his pants legs with
the other.
1t was a hectic five minutes. At last he was through the door. He set
his dad down in a chair in the yard back Of the house and ran to turn in the
fire alarm. 1T wasn't until l reached for the alarm box" he says, that

On the overcrowded market, pro-.
duce is often piled in the cutters and
out into the street, traffic is snarled
"a hours day, and sanitary condi-
tons are sunspeakable," according to
reports from the Federal Bureau of
Agricultural Economics.
This means that fruits and vege-
tables often lie around until they
start to spoil, and sometimes rot. Re
tail buyers have difficulty getting
what they want, and have to pay ex-
tremely high prices, yet the situation
is such that the growers receive but
little for their produce, Watson said
Another result is that the market
which once handled an annual BUSH
ness of $4,000, 09D has been losing
trade at the rate Of $J,500,O00 a year,
and this effects the growers in North
Carolina as we'll ais in the many other
states which ship to Philadelphia.
North Carolina growers have been
shipping annually around 100 car
loads of potatoes, cantaloupes, peach
es, and Strawberries to this market,
along with lesser quantities of other
fruit and truck crops, Growers in
nearby States haN Dor anized to push
the reform program and Tar Heel
farmers have been asked to give their
support by adopting resolutions and
sending them in to show there is a
widespread demand for reform.

Swamp Reclaimed
For Agriculture

MOSCOW, Jan. IA The hot,
wooded swamp where Jason of Greek
mythology went in search of the
golden fleece is being reclaimed for
subtropical agriculture.
Kolkhida, known to the ancients
at Colchis, covers $4,000 acres on
the Georgian shores of the Black
Sea. Within five years Soviet en-
gineers have drained 10000 acres
and turned them over to collective
farmers. Poti, a seaport. is the
chief city.
BY means of entertainments and
a network OF drainage canals, 49,
900 acres are to be reclaimed by
1910 for 5000 peasant families to
raise tea, tangerines, lemons and
oranges. Reclamation OF 100000
acres more is planned after 1910.
