WILL DISCUSS
CONTROL WORK

R. E. Bateman of Billings, dis
trict supervisor for the Bureau
of Biological Survey, will meet
today with stockmen, poultry
raiserS and sportsmen to dis
cuss cooperative work in pred
atory animal control in Big Horn
county.
The meeting will be held in
the community rooom of the
courthouse, it was announced.
Although the call for govern
ment help in the control of
predatory animals has increased
during the last few years, there
has been no increase in funds
to carry on control work, thus
making it necessary to station
government trappers where the
animals are doing the most
damage, it was learned.
The meeting was arranged by
G. w. Gustafson, county extern
sion agent and all those inter-
ested are invited to attend.

FARM TOUR PROVES VALUE OF
PHOSPHATE AND WEED CONTROL
Trip Stimulates Interest In Two
Importont Phases Of Agriculture.
Results Are FavorubR!t

The farm tour conducted last
Thursday to observe the work
of weed control in the county
and the results of application of
phosphate fertilizer, stimulated
a great deal of interest in these
tow phases of agricultural prac-
tees, according to County Elk
tension Agent, George w. Gus
tafson.
G. H. Bingham of Bozeman,
irrigation specialist, attended
the tour and explained the diff
ferent methods That nave prov
en- successful in the control of
weeds in other districts of the
state.
The application of three
chemicals-calcium chlorate, So
dunn chlorate and carbon bisul-
phide-Were demonstrated on a
series of plots on the Jake
Hardt, Jr.g place, northwest of
town by Mr.. Gustafson. A field
of summer-falloWed ground that
had been regularly cultivated
during the summer by the Holly
Sugar corporation was also
'1S HSO. Oi4li-4dI 1iCluS OH CilG
~;eO1se Gro5koff farm near the
Community school and on the
Leo Besel place in the Foster
area, were inspected. A blade
@~ultiTator had been in use on
2ll the fields, each one of a
some %hat different type, but all
apparently very effective in cul-
tivation.
On the George Crouch place
a patch of morning glory had
been completely eradicated by
the use of persistent cultivation
IN 1887 followed with the use Of
chemical on weeds that ap-
peared in 1888. The use of at
lacide has proved to be very
effective on patches of morning
glory of this farm during the
past few years, Gustason stated.
Alternate strips of fertilized
and unfertilized beets on the
Dave Herbal, ST., farm on a
field that has no beet history
demonstrated the value of phoS-
plate fertilizer. "A field of sugar
beets on the George Hert farm
showed similar results. The con-
clusion drawn from these ex-
periments, according to the.
county agent, is that much of
the soil in Big Horn county is
deficient in one of the most
important plant food elements,
and will respond quickly to the
application of fertilizer.

Mrs. {. A. Wort
To Be Honored
Only Women Mailcdrrier
In Montana To Be
y Given Dinner

Rural mail carriers of this
district are giving a dinner for
Mrs. c. A.. Wort, only woman
rural mail carrier in Montana,
in Billings Saturday evening.
Mrs. Wort, who will be 65
in April, will retire. from the.
service this spring after having
acted as mailman" on Route
one here for 20 years.
Though she has two daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Uriel King and MRS.
Lloyd Carper, and four grand
children, Mrs. Wort has more
energy than many women hall
her age.
J. M. Astle, local postmaster.
estimated that she had carried
nearly a million and a half
pieces of mail in the 20 years
that she has covered her route.
She now averages about CLOS
pieces a month, and at times,
he stated, the area that she
serves was much more thickly
populated than it is at present.
The route covers about IS
miles, and some of the road is
far from being good even now.
Twenty years ago, when Mrs.
Wort began to carry the mail,
it was neither graveled nor
graded, and she used a horse
and buggy to carry her over
the long daily trip.
When asked to tell some of
the experiences she has had,
Mrs. Wort said that nothing
much of interest had happened
to her, except that you meet
many nice people, and they do
lots of nice things for you"
But Postmaster Astle told of
the early days when Mrs. Wort
and her horse would pillow
through the mud all day, then
stay overnight at a farm house
and finish out the route in the
morning. Sometimes, he added
the mud was too much for one
horse, and she was forced to
change halfway through the
route.
Even then, after the first year,
she started using an automobile,
things were still difficult, and
she encountered floods, wash
outs, snow drifts so deep that
it was impossible to get through,
and a great deal of the excep-
tionally sticky mud that is
found on every unpaved or
ungraveled street and road in
the vicinity in the spring.
When asked if she knew why
so few rural mail carriers were
women, Mrs. Wort replied that
she was sure she didn't know.
"AS far as I can see, women
can do the job jest as well as
men," she stated.
Guy Turner, veteran carrier,
who was standing near, sorting
mail, added that that certainly
applied to Mrs. Wort. "She does
mt seem to mind 40 below zero
weather a Bit" he added. The
carriers remembered one morn
ing when it was SIS below, but
that didn't delay Mrs. Wort.
Among the guests that will
attend the dinner in her honor
Saturday will be Postmaster
and Mrs. ]. M. Astle of Hardin
and Postmaster and Mrs. Merle
Fagg of Billings.
