Big Horn County
Best Seed Area

In an Associated Press article
issued this week from Helena
by Jay G. Diamond, senior stat
istician for the agricultural
marketing service, it was stated
that Big Horn county was the
states largest producer of alf-
alta seed. Nearly one-third of
the entire states crop in the
past years had been raised in
this county, it was stated.
Last year Montana shipped
10,485, 900 pounds of alfalfa seed.
Agricultural experts predicted
a decrease in the amount pro-
duced this year in comparison
to previous years. Main reasons
for the expected decrease were
delay in harvesting due to wet
weather and unfavorable grow
ing conditions. Considerable
field losses have been reported
because of the late harvest.
Montana growers can expect
a better price for their seed
than in previous years, it was
stated. The Hardin price offered
growers by buyers here was ap-
proxmately % cents per pound
for grade number l seed.
The price increase was
brought about by the decrease
in production, officials stated.

Lodge Cross Wins
Fourth Straight

Lodge Grass six-man football
team made it four straight vic
tories at the expense of From
berg Friday when they defeated
the Carbon county team 10 to
o. The game was played at
Fromberg.
Lodge Grass last week cinched
the lower Yellowstone district
title for six-man teams.
Fromberg was in trouble most
of the game as Lodge Grass
threatened several times. A pass
for a touchdown was nullified
by a penalty. Fromberg reached
the visitors 20 yard stripe only
once during the tussle.
John Pease scored the Lodge
Grass touchdown on an end
run in the second period and
a pass from Ben PeaSe to Bends
brought the extra point. Ben
Pease and Bob Borgess. blocked
a Fromberg punt to tally a
safety. worth three points in
a six-man game.
Outstanding for Lodge GarSs
was the line bucking of John
PeaSe. The passing combina-
ton of BendS-to- Riplett was al
so effective. Taylor, Fromberg
back was the mainstay for his
team. Lodge Grass held From
berg to three first downs.
Lodge Grass will play host to
the Reed Point team Friday,
Oct. II.

DR.. Fisher Talks
At Kiwdnis Meet

How to give a blood trans
fusion was explained to the
members of the Hardin Kiwanis
club by DR.. M. L. Fisher, local
physician and surgeon, at their
regular meeting held Wednes-
day noon at the Masonic tenn
pie.
DR.. Fisher stated that the Or
igin of the blood TRANSMISSION
was not a recent discovery but
the finding that transfusions
must be confined to four types
of blood has been determined
in late years.
More recently the delay in
time of finding a proper type
of individual as the donor has
been rendered unnecessary by
the discovery of the fact that
the essential elements of the
blood may be reduced to a pow
der form and this, when mixed
with the plasma of the blood
may pe used in all emergency
cases within a few minutes
time. The use of this new dis
covery has been confined to the
centers of population and to
the army and navy where it
can be made Immediately avail
able, he stated.
Following the doctors talk a
motion was made and carried
by the KiwaniS club that a COM
mittee be appointed to contact
all other service organizations in
Hardin and they combine their
efforts to secure the required
equipment necessary to perform
immediate blood tranSfuSions.
The equipment would be kept
at the local hospital for the use
of any doctor, it was stated.
