FARMERS ADVISED
TO INSURE CROPS
SHOULD PROTECT THEMSELVES
AGAINST LOSSES, SAYS
C. L. WARpNG

With crop prospects poor In most
parts Of Montana because of q late,
dry fan, farmers should take steps
to protect themselves against loss
es ON their 1870 wheat crop by
taking advantage of the alI-risk
crop insurance offered by the fed
eraL crop insurance corporation,
says G. L. Waxing, acting chairman
Of the state AAA committee at
BOZeman.
Waring emphasizes that Feb. % Is
the closing date for making applica-
lions for crop insurance on spring
wheat and warns that no policies win
be written after that date.
This year 1t has been made easier
for farmers to obtain crop insurance
Wartng said. Instead of having the
preliminary sign-up for insurance as
was done last year. farmers this year
may pay for their insurance at the
time they make application. Payment
may be made either by warehouse re-
ceipt for the amount Of the premium
or the equivalent in cash, check or by
an advance on AAA payments.
Farmers may obtain either so or rs
percent protection on the entire wheat
crop through the insurance corpora
TONS policy and this policy covers loss
of crop by all unavoidable natural
hazards
Last year with an above average
total wheat production Ia Montana.
one-fourth OF the farmers covered by
crop insurance made indemnity claims, .
Waring said. '~T'his would indicate that
Montana farmers need the protection
OF aIl-riak crop azasurance."

How many of you are there who
are aware that in 1883. at point
but q dozen miles from MisSOuia
there was completed the highest
wooden railroad bridge constructed
in the world up TO that time? If
you were to wander out TO about
the center of the steel bridge span
ming Marent gulch and should take
a notion TO step off into the noun
tain air, should your parachute
fail to open, you would plunge TO
a full 226 feet before as a result
you became the principal figure at
the cOrOner's inquest.
The height of the wooden bridge was
identical with that Of the steel one
today.
AS early as 1858, following his ap-
pointment as governor of all that vast
domain now embraced within the boun-
diaries of the states of oregon, WASH
ington, Idaho and Montana, General
Isaac I. Stevens made a preliminary
survey of a route for a railroad from
st. Paul Mimi. to the Pacific coast.
Referring in his journals to the survey
of route from the Hellgate Ronde
(AdiSSoula valley over the divide to
the Jocko valley, he makes a specific
mention of the fact that the most diff
ficult problem to be encountered would
be the construction of a high bridge
to span a gulch tributary to the Corr
ackan defile (OKeefe canyon.
Named Marent Trestle
Thirty years later, when the North
ern Pacific railroad company built
bridge across this gulch the structure
was given the name Marent trestle.
I. S. P Weeks was the engineer In
charge of the construction of the rail-
road for a distance of upwards of
miles either way, east and
west from Missoula with headquarters
located there. The grading was done by
but bridges were construct
ed by the company bridgemen. Con-
Struction generally was advanced to
the extent that when the track laying
forces appeared on the scene but
minimum of delay was encountered by
them transportation of bridge steel
into the country before the railroad
was actually in operation was a prac-
.ical imposSibility; therefore of neces-
sity the bridges which we're to serve
