BUTTE STOCkYARD
PLAN WINNING
WIDE SUPPORT

Stockmen from all parts OF the Big
Hole basin turned out recently to greet
officials Of the Butte Public Stockyards
Co. on an inspection trip through the
area. and to pledge cooperation in
making the enterprise successful one
for southwestern Montana. The ven
ture was sanctioned as one which
operators OF the market and other
businesses In this district.
The party of visiting officials, accom-
panied by several Butte business men,
returned to the Mining city after a
day-long trip which took them to sew
eral ranches to view the prime cattle
of the basin and to two enthusiastic
meetings in Wisdom and Dillon.
All of the party, and particularly the
visiting officials who came here from
Sioux City and st. Paul IN connection
with establishing the stockyards, were
impressed by the vastneSs of the Big
Hole country, the exceptionally fine
condition Of the cattle and the album
dance and quality of the rich Big Hole
hay. Samples of the hay were taken
by the visitors to exhibit in the middle
west.
At Wisdom the group was greeted
by approximately 35 ranchers who had
left their work and had driven in from
all parts of the basin to attend
luncheon meeting where the operations
of the proposed Butte market we're
explained.
@. F. Silknitter, president OF the
Butte concern; r. M Harden, repre-
sentative Of the Sioux City Stockyards
Co.; @. F. Topping. a director OF the
and L. A. Snyder, manager
Of the Butte market, made talks in
explanation OF the purposes Of the
Mining city stockyards.

SOIL FERTILITY
MAJOR PROBLEM

A problem on irrigated land is that
of maintaining soil fertility. Plant food
is lost from the soil not only by go
ing into growing crops, but also by
being leeched out by the very water
that makes plant growth possible. In
creasingly, farmers on irrigated tracts
are turning to livestock as a source
Of supply Of the plant food to be re-
turned to the soil. Manure from the
sheep or cattle on feed has an actual
cash value, measured by the available
plant food 1t contains. But livestock
has other advantages, too. In many
irrigated areas cattle or sheep provide
a profitable market for the hay and
feed grains Of the district. There are
other benefits through the diversified
ton Of sources Of farm income.
The growing interest in livestock
feeding on irrigated tracts was demon
strated one chilly day last January
when nearly 300 men visited nine
farms on the Waller, Mont, project,
inspecting feed lots and learning how
they might adapt feeding to their own
In charge Of the tour was
Blaine Ferguson, Waller, member Of the
Conrad Production Credit association.
The p. Q. A. was one Of the sponsors
Of the event. Ferguson practices what
he preacheS-feeds 500 lambs. His
l4-year-old son, David, a freshman In
nigh school and green hand IN his
Future Farmer chapter, has 10 feeder
ambS for his first project IN his vo-
,ational agriculture course.

The Future Of Small Business

MANY OF THE smaller business concerns of the country
lvl greatly disturbed tie drab outlook and pes
smstic forecasts which held out for small business
firms in the future due the diversion of much
materials from civilian to defense production. 1t is
indeed gloomy for thousands of the small manufacturing
plants and their employees for they will find it exceed
ngy difficult from to secure sufficient materials
TO keep their plants in operation.
1t is officially estimated that approximately twenty
thousand Of these small manufacturing establishments
throughout the nation will be forced to operating,
in proportion the big industrial plants increase their
productive capacity to meet the accelerated tempo in de-
Tense production.
This is serious situation. which will of necessity
cause multitudes of little manufacturing concerns to close
their doors and the layingo Of hundreds of thousands of
workers who engaged in civilian production.
This does not. however. that all small business
establishments will be affected. About eghty-ive per
cent of the business establishments of country
relatively small business concerns although all of them
not engaged in manufacturing. Furthermore. many
OF those that engaged do not manufacture products
Establishments will continue to operate making clothing
food products household goods and other essentials for
consumer use.
Since small business faced with this critical stua-
ton on account of the demands for defense production and
since so MANY OF the business operated by Ne
groes relatively small people are naturally keenly
interested in this issue. How will Negro business be af
feced?
In the first place only small percentage of our bust
ness men and women are engaged in manufacturing and
only few of these make products from materials needed
for defense production such STEEL "copper" aluminium
rubber and so forth Therefore, il safe to state that the
majority Of Negro manufacturers will not be adversely a
feced but will be able to continue securing the materials
needed for making their products.
Regarding the future of the business concerns op-
Grated by people would say there need be-
come unduly discouraged the outlook. Small bust
ness will continue 10 before and those who know
how to meet competition protect their credit and satisfy
their customers will weather the storm Only those who
are faint-hearted inefficient and unprogressve will suffer

or OF health to watch for signs OF
illness in their children which may
be indicative OF scarlet fever.
Many serious cases OF scarlet
fever are traced TO mild. unrecog-
nized cases found among associates,
Or. Douglas says. The symptoms
OF the disease in these instances
are mild--sometimes a single day
OF illness which includes. a sore
throat will be dangerously Ill or
die. he declares.
He recommends that parents ex-
anime their children carefully be-
fore they leave for school in the
morning. and put to bed those who
have sore. throats, head aches,
nausea, or those who present a
rash.
Scarlet fever Is a serious disease
he says, even when the symptoms
are mild and considerable damage
may be done 10 the body without
the parent being aware that his
child Is Ill.
