RECOMMENDS RESTS
FOR PASTURES

A good irrigated pasture is
worth taking care of and dairy
men will tlnd that alternate
grazing and irrigation will give
increased returns, says J. O..
IretSven, extension dairy spec
ialiSt at Montana State college.
He recommends dividing each
pasture into at least two fields
so that one field can 1e graZed
while the other is irrigated and
the grass allowed to recover. At
the end of ten days or two
weeks the cows are moved to the
second pasture while the first
is being irrigated and given a
rest. Constant grazing, he said,
is harmful to the pasture and
prevents it from producing the
best returns. .
Irrigations should be frequent
and .,;oht to produce continuous
growth and increase the carry
ing capacity. .
If the pasture is a new one it
is particularly important that it
receive frequent, light irriga-
lions to insure thick stands and
strong vigorous growth. A nurse
crop seeded with the pasture
mixture should be harvested and
taken off the field as soon as
possible.
A newly seeded pasture should
net be grazed the first year
unless conditions are unusual
Nv favorable. Even then, Trets-
ven said, it should be grazed
very lightly and late fall graz
ing avoided entirely. Keeping
stock off the new pasture when
it is wet will prevent the Young
plants from being damaged by
trampling.

Jobless Workers
To Receive Cash

The Unemployment Compensation
Commission on July l, through its
State Employment Service offices,
will take claims for cash benefits
from eligible unemployed workers
in all sections of Montana.
Barclay Craighead, chairman of
the commission, estimated that n
employed Montana workers will re-
ceive from three and one-half to
five million dollars between July %,
1899 and July %, 1910.
Only unemployed workers who
have worked in private employment
subject to the Unemployment Com
pensation law may file claims for
benefits at their nearest State EN-
ployment Service office on and after
July l, Mr.. Craighead said.
Eligible, unemployed workers who
live more than 10 miles from their
nearest State Employment Service
office may write the Unemployment
Compensation Comm .ss:on, Helena,
Montana, for instructions on filing
benefit claims.
Requirements for Eligibility
Claimants must wait a two week
waiting period and one additional
week before receiving their first
benefit checks.
In order to be eligible for benefits
a worker must meet the following
requirements:
He must have earned at least $3.50
in employment subject to the law
between April l, 1888 and March
81, 1889.
2. He must be unemployed but
able to work and available for work.
(Odd job earnings of S. a week or
less is not considered as employ

COUNTY FINE

The financial condition of
Montana counties is as sound
now as at any time in the past
quarter-century, according to a
survey of governmental costs
conducted by DR.. R. R. Renne
of Bozeman, agricultural econ
omist at the state experiment
station. He said improved bust
ness conditions since 1888 and
comparatively large federal re-
lief and agricultural adjustment
payments were important fac
tors contributing to sound pres
emit condition.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1939-06-15

3. On or after July 1, 1889 the
unemployed worker must have reg
istered for work and filed a claim
for benefits at his nearest State EN-
ployment Service office. (Or filed a
benefit claim as directed by the
Commission.)
4. In the period between April l,
1888 and March 81, 1889, the worker
must have earned at least 80 times
his weekly benefit amount.
January, February and March is
one calendar quarter and each three
succeeding months are calendar
quarters.
Determination of Benefits
Workers to determine what bene-
fit amounts they will receive if I'M
employed should take four per cent
of earning made in their highest
wage calendar quarter in the first
four of the last five completed cal
endar quarters prior to filing a valid
benefit claim. If this amounts to
over an ever dollar the amount is
increased to the next highest dollar
but not over $500, the maximum
benefit amount. or under $500, the
minimum benefit amount.
A worker must have earned at
least 20 times his weekly benefit
amount in the first four quarters of
the last five completed calendar
quarters in order to be eligible for
benefits.
All eligible claimants will receive
benefit checks for 16 weeks if they
continue unemployed. A claimant
may receive a benefit check for sew
eral weeks, secure a job and again
become unemployed, and again re-
ce;ve benefit checks but not more
than a total of 16 benefit checks in
any one 52-week benefit year.
The State Employment Service is
one division of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission. Last year
it placed over $4,000 Montana people
in jobs.

Price Of Export Copper
Weakens During Week
RI the Associated Press.

Il! tee Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Dec. 23-The price
OF expert copper steadily weakened
this week. Only small tonnages
changed hands, dealers reported, as
buyers dug into large supplies re-
Gently accumulated.
January shipment metal was
available at 1850 cents a pound
at the week end, which compared
with a high several weeks ago of
around 1880 cents.
Domestic consumers were Just as
skimpy with their orders. Metal
men said this could be expected at
this time of the year as inventory
taking got into full swing.
The high rate of consumption of
the red metal last month was re-
vealed by figures published by the
American Bureau of Metal Statistics,
formerly circulated privately in the
trade. The estimate placed Novem-
ber net use of copper at 1000 tons
and in October $4,000 tons.
Fairly steady demand persisted
for lead, with the price unchanged
at 550-5.55 cents q pound. January
needs were estimated to be about
40 to 45 per cent covered.
Zinc moved quietly at 6 cents q
pound, East st. Louis.
Deliveries of steel continued to
outstrip new orders. The usual
holiday lull, however, was smaller

a survey showed today.
The magazine Steel listed as
major factors the allies blockade

against Germany stimulated South
American inquiries here after orders
from below the Equator and dwin-

While premium prices are being
paid for most steel products going
TO South America, the spread over
going domestic business is not larger

Prices Slump
As Drought Belt
Gets Moisture
Futures Regain Most
Of Losses Before
Close at Chicago
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-The South
western drought belts white Christ
mas. with mixture OF rain and
sleet, inspired selling that lowered
wheat prices here as much as 2
cents bushel today, but most of
the loss was recovered before the
close.
The first widely distributed pre-
cipitation received in the hard win
ter wheat belt in weeks and in some
localities the first material drought
relief in months was regarded by
some grain men as indicating that
the protracted dry spell may be
breaking up. They cited the fore
cast for continued unsettled wealth.
er In some districts and the long,
range prediction that further rain
or snow may be received the end of
next week.
Declines of as much as 2 cents
carried May wheat to Sl.0lss and
July and September below 80, but
buying credited to milling interests
and dealers evening up accounts for
the double holiday brought a strong
recovery. Wheat closed ss-7s lower
than yesterday, May $l02a-la, July
$l00-1 1001..
Corn was ls-N down, May 57l2,
July 577s; oats unchanged to "a off
rye 1-l12 higher; soy beans 1873
up and lard 8 to 10 lower.
Although the precipitation in the
wheat belt was light in most locali-
ties. with the bulk of the moisture
falling outside the main producing
area, rain, snow and sleet were
fairly general. Crop experts do not
expect moisture at this time of year
to be of much immediate help to
winter wheat, which normally is
dormant now, but they expressed be-
lief it would build up seriously de-
pleted moisture reserve for spring
use and may prevent further de-
terloration. The condition of the
crop is the poorest on record as a
result of the unprecedented fall and
winter drought.
