MAP IMPROVEMENTS
PROMOTES SAFETY

PONCA CITY, Okla, Feb. 20
A major improvement in automobile
road maps which encourages the
motorist to think in terms of reason
able driving time between given
points rather than mileage to be
covered, is announced by the Con-
tlnental Oil Company in connection
with the issuance of maps of the
new type by the company's Conoco
Travel Bureau at Denver, Colo.
tt he HE EFE=-fEsataE which lap
pear on the face of all Conoco maps
consists of the addition of actual
driving time in hours and minutes
from town to town. These figures
are printed in red ink and appear
directly under each of the usual
mileage figures which give the dis
tances between cities and towns. A
footnote points out that the driving
time has been calculated for nor
lmal traffic conditions and dry roads
and that allowances should be made
| by motorists who drive unusually
! fast or slow.
The improvement is also in use
by one other major oil company and
is understood to be under consid-
Grafton by several others. This
strong emphasis on reasonable driv.
! ing time rather than the factor ot
distance Recovered should dc
much to promote highway safety
say Conoco officials.

Rambling Facts About
Agriculture
BY Montana Extension Service

BY Montana Extension Service
All indications point to increased
shelterbelt planting in Montana dur.
ing the coming year, according TIC
z. E.. Isaac, extension horticulturist
For one thing, he points out, mois-
ture conditions throughout the state
are much better than they have
been for several years and this will
stimulate interest in tree planting
To those farmers who plan to SET
out trees this year, Isaac urges
them to place their orders. early be-
cause the quantity of some species
of trees is limited. Delayed orders
and delay in paying handling costs
mean delays in shipment. And when
trees are ordered too late in the
season they are likely to be too far
advanced to thrive we'll with the
result that stands will be poor.
Prices received by farmers for
livestock and livestock products av-
eraged about five per cent higher
for the year 1887 than year earlier
being about 36 per cent above the
depression low point of 1888, but
still about 10 per cent lower than
in 1929, reports the u. S. bureau OF
agricultural economics. The. 1887
level of livestock and livestock
product prices were the highest re-
corded during the past eight years,
the average of all items being sub
stantially above year earlier with
the exception of horses, mules, and
eggs.
Because of the better feed out
look larger hatch of turkeys is
probable in 1893 and economists be-
lieve this will result in decline in
turkey prices next fall.
