LOCAL MEN CONFER WITH STATE And
FEDERAL ROAD OFFICIALS THURSDAY
Proposed Program Will Provide For
Reconstruction And Building
OF Roads In This Areo

A road program totaling
more than $200, 900 was reported
to be in the offing for this
area within the next year, it
was announced here this week.
RepoAjs' of road activities
came following a trip to Hell
ena by Louis Nybo, B. H. Nc
Carly, Carl Sloan and B. J.
Kleinhesselink Thursday of last
week. While there they con-
ferred with officials of the
Montana State Highway COM
mission, Federal Bureau of good
roads and a member of the In
dian department, P. ]. Van Al
stine. Mr.. Van AlStine has jur-
isdiction over reservation roads
in Montana and wyoming.
It was stated that the Hardin
to St. Xavier road must be put
on the state secondary feeder
road system in order to get
money from the bureau of good
roads. It was requested by the
Big Horn county delegation that
the state include this on the
bureaus program. An engineer
will be sent here to compile da-
ia in order to determine the
Justification of placing the
road on the secondary system.
Reports stated that the road
would doubtless qualify.
Mr.. Van AlStine left Helena

Washington D. G. to take i'm
mediate action on the road
matter will be sent from Port
land, it was stated.

Senor+smen's Club
To Beuin Drive

The Big Horn County Rod
and Gun club will begin its
membership drive next week.
1t is hoped, officers say, that
every sportsman in the county
will join.
The organization wishes to
stock the Lodge Grass dam res
ervoir with siX-inch Rainbow
trout as soon as it is completed,
it was stated. It is hoped that
the club will be able to put
5000 of the small trout in the
lake, but it will be necessary to
have a large membership if this
is to be made possible.
At the same time that men,
berships are taken, any extra
contribution for the purpose of
planting the trout will also be
taken.
The Rod and Gun club has
been active in conserving wild
life throughout the county and
has an excellent record of SER
vice in the community.
In charge of the drive will be
A. M. Crillv and Lawrence
Wendland in Hardin, Dick Louk

Expldins Range
Program Set-Up

Approval for deferred graz
ing must be obtained from
the Big Horn county Agricul-
tural Conservation committee
at Hardin before April IS by
ranchers who intend to utilize
the practice under the 1910 Ag-
ricultural Conservation pro-
gram, George Miller, chairman
of the county committee, said
today.
Deferred grazing dates in
Montana for 1910 are from Ap-
ril IS to August 49," Chairman
Miller stated, Instead of April
is to August 81 as they were
last year." This practice allows
the range grass to mature and
reseed naturally through the
restriction of grazing on the
deferred tract, he added.
Operators should make appli-
cation to take part in the 1910
Agricultural Conservation pro-
gram at the same time they OBJ
tain approval on their deferred
grazing tract. This will also
necessitate furnishing the coun-
ty committee with a legal de-
scription of all the land the
operator controls, Miller said.
They also will have to give "a
description of the grazing tract
they intend to defer and the
supplemental practices they in
tend to perform to earn their
de1erred grazing payment.
Payments tor ue1erred graz
ing will differ in 1910 from
Wnat they have been previous
ly." Chairman Miller stated.
This year no outright payment
will be made but the payment
must be earned by utilization
of supplementary practices. BY
pract4clng deferred grazing on
rs percent of his land, the op-
orator may earn as much as rs
percent of his non-crop pas
tureland allowance, which is the
same as the range allowance,
provided it is earned by use of
supplemental practices.
Chairman Miller explained
that supplemental practices are
in addition to the ones already
in the 1910 Agricultural Con-
Servation handbook and are
practices that will give oper-
ators added opportunity to con-
serve their rangeland. Fencing,
water developments, wind
breaks, snow fences, stockrails
and camp roads, elimination of
poisonous plants and noXious
weeds, rodent and insect con-
troll, check plots, riprapping,
check dams, soil saving dams
and silt traps are the supple
mental practices to be per-
formed in Montana in 1910.
The amount of payment to
be allowed for performance of
these supplemental practices
will be determined by the
county committee on the oper-
ator's statement of costs sub
ject to maximum rates for
some and minimum rates for
others. Chairman Miller warned
that the only way operators
can obtain payment for sup
Elemental practices is through
utilization of the deferred gra-
zing practice.
