All livestock on ranges continue to

will determine the general time of

it is expected that these will be a

The farm labor situation continues
to be generally satisfactory although
some localities have experienced diff
ficulty in getting help. However, the
full effect of harvest demands is yet
to be felt. In anticipation of big

central-third of the state, have been
busy building new storage bins. Con-

the poor funds in the various coun-
ties and making the ALLEGATIONS to
supplement" them where a need
existed
It was brought out that six coun-
ties in the state that levied less than
the regular six per cent for their poor
funds for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1910, according to the records of
the State Board of Equalization, still
had large cash balances in their poor
funds. One of the counties named
was Gallatin with the smallest levy
of all, of $40 mills, but with $49,-
514.91 cash balance in the poor fund
at the end of the year. Glacier levied
the next smallest amount of 1892 mills
and had a cash balance of $11,526.99;
Rosebud with a levy of four mills
showed a cash balance of $14,59S.65;
Park levied five mills and had $780,
623.99; Liberty, five mills with S.
70707; Granite, five mills and saved
$5,O6173.
Attention was called to the fact
that several counties had made trans
fers of funds from their poor funds
to others, and without naming coun-
ties the following instances were
cited from reports of county treas
urers to the state examiner:
To the county general fund $1,000.
To the county bond sinking fund
$1,000
To the county bond sinking fund
$4,000.
To the county fair fund $S,915.26.
To the county bond sinking fund
$3,O1464
To the county general fund $4,000.
Examples of disparities in the poor
funds of counties adjoining each other
were cited in the case of Gallatin
county with a cash balance of nearly
$4,000 in its poor fund with a levy
of only $40 mills, while Madison
county which adjoins had levied six
mills and had a deficit in its poor
fund at the end of the year of 3d.
224.30; Rosebud county levied four
mills and wound up with cash bal
ance of $14,59S.65, while its neighbor,
Custer county levied six mills and
closed the year nearly $4,000 in the
hole in it's poor fund. In this con-
nection it was brought out that the
county transferring $S,g1526 to its
county fair fund and $3,014.64 to it's
sinking fund was Toole county.
