By Gustdfson

During the past two weeks
"a series of educational meetings
has been held throughout Big
Horn county explaining the
changes in the program of the
Agricultural Conservation asso-
citation.
These meetings have been
conducted by the county COM
mittee of the Big Horn county
association, which consists OF
George Miller, chairman; c. v.
Mabe, vice chairman; and A.
G. Westwood, Jr., Roy Riley, Of
flee manager, also participated
and explained the farm esti-
mate sheets for the 1910 crop
year.
Conservation practices which
will qualify for payments this
coming year were explained by
George w. Gutsafson, county
extension agent, and include
the following:
l. Seeding of grasses and le-
gumes.
2. Green manure crops on
irrigated land.
g. Check dams to control er-
osion.
4. Planting shelterbelts and
windbreaks.
S. Growing adequate home
gardens.
6. Controlling perennial nox-
ious weeds.
7. Renovating old stands OF
perennial legumes and grasses
8. Reseeding range and noun
tain meadow-land.
9. Constructing of dams and
reservoirs
10. Drilling wells on range
land.
II. Developing springs on
range land.
IL. Deferred grazing, provid-
ing the allowance is earned by
one or more of the following
supplemental practices:
a. Building or maintaining
fences.
b. Spring development.
c. Constructing windbreaks
and snow fences
d. Constructing stock trails
and camp roads.
e. Elimination of poisonous
plants, sagebrush and cac-
tus.
f. Rodent and insect control.
g. Check dams.
The last of these practices
has been changed materially
from the 1899 program, and if
the farmers and ranchers adopt
deferred grazing as one of their
practices it is necessary that
the supplemental practices be
followed in order to qualify
for payments.

SENECA MEETS
AT FORSYTH
-Four From Hmdin Heur
Discussion On Sugar
Beet Problems

w. H. Reilley, o. E. Anderson
H. A. Williams and H. w. Bum
ston attended a meeting of the
Southeastern Montana Coun-
ties Association held in Forsyth
Friday, March 20, and heard a
thorough discussion of the
problems facing sugar beet pro-
ducers in this part of the coun-
try:
Charles Hattie of the P. G.
A. office of Miles City, led a
panel discussion concerning
sugar beet legislation. The i'm
portance of the industry to
southeastern Montana wa S
brought out.
Gerald K. Wells of Fairview,
president of the Montana-Da-
kota Beet Growers association,
was the principal speaker, and
gave a very complete discus
sion on the sugar beet industry.
He stated that some thought
that the legislation was purely
a New Deal measure, but ever
since the sugar beet industry
began, there has been sugar
beet legislation and the indus
try has been controlled by pol
iticians.
He added that the Jones'
Costigan act of 1884, which was
in effect for some two years,
was fairly successful. The 1887
sugar act is also a fairly good
law, he said, if it were properly
administered, but it has been
controlled by the secretary OF
agriculture, and has been oper-
ating very much to the detri-
ment of all concerned. He urged
that beet growers, laborers and
refiners put forth a united
form so that some constructive
program be adopted. He was
hopeful that it might be pos
sible to have the industry reg
ulated by statute rather than
by any single man.
Other officers and members
of beet growers organizations
also commented on the situ-
alton. Among them was H. A.
Williams, president of the Big
Horn Beet Growers association,
who said that the American
grower was being deprived of
the American market, Which
was a very unsatisfactory con-
dition.
E. B. Winter, director of the
Western Beet Growers associa-
ton for Montana closed the
discussion with a plea that the
American market be given to
the American grower, and that
the uncertainty which the
grower, the laborer and the
professor have experienced the
last three years be eliminated
if at all possible.
H. w. Bunsuon of Hardin was
among those urging that the
association continue to render
all possible assistance.
Other talks were concerned
with good roads, the millage
referendum measure, the un-
emplovment compensation COM
mission. the crippled children's
clinics and the observance OF
ego to church" Sunday, April Z.

John examined the envelopes.
One was for Don Luis and one for

Diversion Of Auto Taxes
Opposed By Car Dealers

RALEIGH, Feb. 81. - up - The
board of directors of the N. C. Au-

went on record in favor of use "for
highway purposes only" of all funds
from the sale of automobile licenses
and the tax on gasoline.
A resolution directed against di-
version of money from the highway
to the general fund, the directors
said highways and secondary roads
were Inadequate" for modern de-
mands and "in some cases" were i'm

largely on lack of funds for main

They called for repeal of a section
of the revenue act which allows di-
version from the highway to the gen.

decided upon in the face Of serious
losses of Rumanian industry unable
to obtain cotton, wool, jute and iron
ore from the allies, who shut down
on their Rumanian trade to enforce
their oil demands.
On the other hand the Germans
charged that allied and neutral oil

Reich with oil.
