Formers In County
To War On Weeds

Many farmers in Big Horn
county, have adopted a systema-
tic and effective method of con-
trolling noxious weeds this year
according to George w. Gustat-
son, county extension agent.
The menace of these plant
bandits is becoming more and
more serious every year, MI.
Gustafson said, and farmers
are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of checking FUR
ther infestation by control
measures that have proven Ell,
fective and are recommended
by the Montana state expert
ment station.
Nearly 800 acres OF infested
land are being laid aside for a
two-year program OF thorough
cultivation, which consists OF
deep blowing in the spring and
regular surface cultivation with
a blade weeder or duckfoot cul-
tivator for a period OF two
years, the county agent said:
On small and inaccessible pla-
ces, atlacide or calcium chlorate
is being used as a spray and ap-
piled at the rate of from five
to six pounds per square rod.
This has proven very effective,
and is being used by many
farmers in the valley.
Some farmers keep atlacide on
hand at all times, and many OF
the noxious weed are treated
with this spray Immediately on
appearance, killing the roots

BILLINGS PAIR
VISIT CHAMBER
Visitors Review Present
Rood Situation With
Chamber of Commerce

H. L. Buck, secretary of the
Billings Commercial club and
Wen Bowling also of Billings
were guests of the Big Horn
County Chamber of Commerce
Monday noon at their regular
luncheon meeting.
c.. S. Elder, chairman of the
good roads committee, explained
the situation to the Billings
men stating that $55,000 had
been designated for surfacing
the Hardin Custer road, but
that for no apparent reason the
road had been taken from the
feeder system set up under the
debenture bill voted for in the
last election and placed on the
seven percent system.
Bowling explained to the
chamber that under the feeder
system with contracts let every
other year for road construction
it would take 20 years to COM
plete the road, while if it were
placed on the seven per cent
system a contract would possib-
ly be let in July 1910.
Buck and Bowling cited in
stances of getting funds for
road construction near Billings
stating that the Billings-Broad-
view road is on the feeder roads
system and that contracts for
the road were only asked for
every third year.
The men stated that they
would do all that was possible
to get some temporary work on
the Hardin Custer road to put
it in shape for heavy hauling
of beets this fall.
Carl Sloan gave the chamber
a report of the Rural Electro
fication project in Big Horn
county. Sloan said that there
were nearly 500 users signed up
for the service and that the
line would be 80 miles long ana
with additional branch lines
making a total of more than 140
miles of wire.
President w. L. Kelley pre-
sided at the meeting.

MUST APPLY FOR
INSURANCE SOON

Big Horn county wheat farm
ers who wish to insure their
1910 winter wheat crop with the
federal Crop Insurance corpor-
alton, must do so before Sep
TENDER 80 according to George
Miller, chairman of the county
agricultural conservation asso-
citation.
Mr.. Miller said growers should
keep two points in mind con-
corning insurance on the winter
wheat crop. First, they must ap-
ply for insurance and pay the
premium before the crop is
seeded this fall. Second, no ap-
plications will be accepted after
September 80, the deadline for
the entire state.
"These requirements were
made for the benefit of insured
growers as a whole" Mr. Miller
said. Requiring all applications
to be filed before the crop is
planted puts all growers on the
same basis with regard to crop
prospects. The deadline limits
the insurance protection to
farmers who get their applica-
tons in before the end of the
normal planting season."
The chairman reminded grow
ers that it is necessary only tC
make application and pay the
premium before the crop Is
seeded. The county committee
will have all the information
REQUIRED to calculate premiums
and the insurance goes into eff
feet as soon as the premium is
paid.

List Markers
In Guidebook

A guidebOOk giving the location
of 215 historical markers erected
along the highfays of the State, to-
gether with the wording on each
marker, has just been published by
the State Historical Commission and
the Department of Conservation %Nd
Development and copies are now
ready for distribution. Not only is
this book guide to all of the places
of historical interest in North Caro-
lima which have been marked, but
it is also a condensed history OF the
State insofar as it has been tram
scribed onto these highway markers,
DR.. G.. C.. Crittenden, secretary OF
the State Historical Commission,
pointed out
Since only a limited number of
these guideboo<s have been issued.
it will be necessary for those desir-
ing copies to write either to the
State Historical Commission or to the
Department of Conservation and De-
velopment for them. The booklet is
not only expected to be in demand
from tourists and students of his
tory, but from school teachers and
others who may desire a condensed
and concise handbook listing the
principal places and personages in
North Carolina history.
The guidebook lists only the 215
highway markers which had been
erected along principal North Caro-
lima highways since the program to
mark the principal historic places
adjacent to the principal highways
was started in 1885. This program
has been a triple project carried on
by the State Historical Commission,
the Department of Conservation and
Development and the State Highway
and Public Works Commission. The
Historical Commission has done the
research work, assisted by a COM
mittee of historians from the states
leading universities and colleges, the
Department of Conservation has done
the actual locating of the markers,
while the highway department has
supplied the funds for the markers
and has done the work Of erecting
them.

To Banquet
Air Pioneer
Daily Dispatch Eurean.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 8-Lieutenant Gov
ernOr Wilkins Horton will be the
principal speaker at banquet to be
held here Friday night in honor Of
Captain William j. Tate, associate
OF the Wright brothers in the pioneer
days of aviation and the man who is
credited with bringing them to North
Carolina for their experiments which
eliminated in the famed first flight
at Kitty Hawk.
Perhaps the most unusual feature
of the banquet will be presentation
of a recording, which Captain Tate
is making in New York today. 1t is
being made in order that his own
story of the Wright brothers three
years Of experiment and study may
go down to posterity. One copy will
be made part of the exhibit of the
Museum of Science ana industry,
one copy will be presented to the
Smithsonian Institute, and one copy
will be placed in a North Carolina
institution which will be selected
later.
Captain Tate was here over the
weekend but flew to New York
Monday to open that city's newest
aviation exhibit, wings for Amer
ica," in the Museum OF Science and
Industry at Rockefeller Center. While
in New York the captain will be
honored by leaders in the aviation
industry at luncheon. Among prom
iment fliers and flying officials
will be Grove Webster, of the Civil
Aeronautics Authority; and Captain
Eddie Rickenbacker, president of
Eastern Air Lines
Captain Tate flew from Raleigh
in plane piloted by r. E. Oertal,
head of the aviation division of the
Standard Oil Company.
The banquet is to be the first ever
rendered in North Carolina to the
man who is reputed to know more
about the Wrights famous attempts
to fly than any living man save Or
vile Wright himself.
Oddly enough, Captain Tate, after
participating in all the Wrights'
studies and working with and for
them almost constantly for three
years, did not see the first flight
fact he has never ceased to regret.

Safety Meet
To Be Lively
Ra;ly D1spatcn BIlreau.
In the SIR Walter t.ntal.

Raleigh. Aug. Representatives
r. the Motor Vehicle Bureau, the
ctate Highway Patrol. the Highway
Safety Division and the truck-oWn-
ors and operators of North Carolina
lre IN meet next week in Green's
horo ostensibly for a round-table and
oat-tooether discussion of highway
safetv". with particular regard to the
snninment and brakes Of motor We
hlcles.
Behind this 'ostensibly", however,
there are numerous indications that
other things are lurking which will
came in for as much earnest, il not
IS public and audible, discussion,
such for instance, as promotion OF
hetter relations between highway
natrolmen and truck operators thrO-
ughout the State.
These relations, it can be said
without fear or more than pro forma
contradiction, are not as pleasant as
might be. with a very large percen-
taee of truck owners feeling that the
patrol picks on them to an eXces-
.Ve and entirely unWarranted eX-
tent.
The truckers, who quite obviously
cannot put their names in the papers
because they fear reprisals, declare
that the general attitude Of the pa
troll toward them has been in many
instances offensive beyond all reason
and without any justification.
One cites the case of a patrolman
near Henderson recently who stop
ped truck driver on trivial charge
and then gave him q summons to ap-
pear in court on a day when there
was to be no court, a fact which
caused the driver to lose a whole day
without rhyme or reason because the
patrolman was too ignorant or in
dolent to know the dates on which
court regularly meets. And there are
many other similar complaints.
And so there is likely to be as
much discussion of how to promote
more friendly relations as on any
other one subject.

ANN SOTHERN GETS SOME
COOKING LESSONS ON SET

Ann Sothern can put aside all
those cook books she bought i'm
mediately after starting hOusekeep-
ing for the first time. She learned
how to cook from an expert. Willie
Fung, Chinese actor and restaurant
owner, was her teacher.
The lessons resulted from Miss
Sothern's laugh when the script of
her new picture, "Maisie", called
for her supervising Fung's cuisine.
II should be learning from you,"
she said. He agreed to instruct her,
so between scenes Fung taught her
the intricacies Of preparing Occiden-
tai and Oriental dishes, and when
the picture was. finished completed
the course in the stars own Kitchen
Miss. Sotherng is featured with
Robert Young in "Maisie," which
plays at the Stevenson Theatre Sun
day, August 13, only.
