AAA Report Indicates
Need For Wheat Quota

A wheat supply well above the
level which calls for . marketing
quota continues in prospect on the
basis of the spring wheat inten-
tions-to-plant report, according to
R. o. Stelzer, executive officer for
the AAA in Maryland.
According to Government esti-
mates, the spring wheat crop will
run about II million acres. At
average yields this acreage would
made a spring wheat crop Of about
$50 million bushels. With an in
dicated winter wheat production of
633 million bushels and a carry
over of $50 million bushels, the
total supply for the 1941-42 mar
keting season would be about 1,200
million bushels.
Mr.. Stelzer pointed out that this
is more wheat than we normally
grind into -four in two years. Total
annual consumption, including
food, livestock feed, and seed, has
been running about CTS million
bushels. On this basis the guam
tity available for exports and carry
over will be more than 525 million
bushels. Exports this year may
total 80 to IS million bushels.
In three years time, war block
AIDES and economic barriers have
reduced United States exports
from more than 100 million BUSH
els to the level expected this year.
This loss of markets, plus favor
able wheat crops during recent
years, has brought about the sur
plus.

on the southwest corner of the
crossing. David E.. Belts, John B.
Diamond and Marbery F. Gates
were appointed on a committee to
confer with the county commits
sioners, Mayor and Town Coun-
Gil, States Attorney and the Chief

ton of the sign as well as erect
ing no-parking signs on the west

gomery Avenue and the town
limits.

0aConor that civilian volunteers
to serve as spoilers for aircraft
in Maryland will be recruited i'm
mediately by the Maryland Coun-
Gil of Defense and Resources, the
Governors advisory body on mat

locate and report numerical
strength, altitude, and types of
aircraft spotted, direction of their
movement, and time Of observa-
ton.
There will be no distinction Of
race, creed or color so long as
they are citizens. Men and wom-
en- for inside work at information
centers will be employed in a
variety Of duties: as clerks,
typists, telephone, teletype and
radio operators, scanners, plotters,
etc. All such should be fairly
young, in good health, compare
lively free of family obligations
and willing to enlist in case of
war. Each registrant will be sub
ject to investigation as to back

many has had taste Of what
war and destruction mean. Not
merely in bitter retaliation
but as a sure preventive of an
other war in the next genera
ton. Had the Allied Armies
of 1918 occupied the entire Ger

would likely not have developed.
If production Of mechanical
equipment will win this war
the odds are in favor of Eng
land, because, once in stride,
the United States can pour it's
productive effort into the vital

torical and miscellaneous library at
Helena
Judge Pemberton left Bannack for
Virginia City shortly after Bill Fair
weather had made his find of the
rich placers of Alder gulch. He had
won his passage across the prairies
by driving a bull team. In Virginia
City he set up an office and began
the practice of law. When the Vigil
lantes were organized for the exter-
mination of Plummer and his band
of robbers, he cast his lot with the
law and order element, and at the
trial of George Ives, Plummer's lieu
tenant, acted as reporter for the
miners court which adjudged Ives
guilty and fixed his punishment at
death.
The sentence was Immediately car
ried out Ives body had been cut down
from the improvised scaffold. His
friends, highwaymen and their sym
pathizers, talked reprisals Wilbur F.
Sanders, who conducted the prosecu-
ton, and insisted on the immediate
execution Of the arch-murderer, was
marked for death Rumors of the in
tention of Ives friends to do away
with Sanders reached his friends from
several sources.

cut down, in the gathering dusk Judge

: OinterS

Many poultry raisers may feel that
it is too late now to vaccinate against
fowl pox, and therefore they have
decided to gamble with the pox bugs.
Don't risk 1t or you might be In the
same fix that H. G. Smith of Rich
mond, NJ c., found himself several
seasons ago. He was getting from 100
TO 200 eggs a day from $50 pullets.
Fowl pox struck the flock, and within
three weeks production had dropped
to rs eggs day, causing a loss av-
eraging $3.50 for each day the pro-
duction remained at this level.
The happy ending to this story Is
that Mr.. Smith has vaccinated his
flock against fowl pox ever since and
figures that it is about the cheapest
insurance he can use for his poultry
income.
MIR. Smith could have done some
thing even the first year he had
trouble with fowl pox. BY using pigeon
pox vaccine at the proper time he
could have stopped the disease, and
with the aid of corrective medication
he could have brought the flock back
into heavy laying condition much
faster without the continued loss Of
$3.50 per day.
Pigeon pox vaccine is miIder than
the regular fowl pox vaccine used to
immunize birds at to IL weeks.
Though the pigeon pox vaccine creates
immunity, it is not as lasting as that
to be had from fowl pox vaccine. How
ever, its use Is ideally adapted to the
vaccination Of birds In lay or where
an outbreak of pox is apparent. Pigeon
pox vaccination immunity usually lasts
about three months, after which the
flock should be vaccinated with fowl
pox vaccine to establish permanent
immunity.
If the outbreak is bad, there is little
to be gained by vaccinating, but If
only few birds show pox LESSONS. then
the birds still can be vaccinated for
the disease.
Flocks that are now in heavy pro-
duction and which may need protec-
ton against fowl pox should be vac
cinated now with pigeon pox vaccine.

Judge Pemberton Played Daring Part in
Taking Montana From Henry Plummer

! Judge William Y. Pemberton, pio-
neer, Vigilante and early day lawyer,
/ probably lived more history than many
historians have written
Judge Pemberton's memory and ex-
perience have been quoted as author
itative on subjects connected with the
history Of the early territorial bar
He came to Bannack. Mont, fresh
from his law studies in 1863, and as
lawyer and subsequently as chief
justice of the supreme court he has
participated in the development of
Montana law, courts and precedence
from the very beginning Of organized
conditions in the territory and state.
Judge Pemberton was born at Nash
vile, Tenn, June /, 1841. He grew up
in Missouri, attended public schools,
the Masonic college at Lexington, Mo,
and graduated L. L. B. from the Cum
berland university law school at I5e-
banon, Tenn. in 1861. For about a
year he practiced law in Missouri and
in 1868 he arrived at Virginia City,
Mont. He was one Of the few college
trained and regularly qualified lawyers
in that pioneer mining camp.
Aided TO Establish Law
In the work of bringing about law
and order and a system of civil gov
eminent under the auspices of the
territory of Montana, Judge Pember-
ton played a notable part. In 1865 he
moved to Helena, then only a mining
town, and practiced law there for sew
eral years. He served for six years in
the highest position in the state ju-
dietary, chief justice of the supreme I
court.
After retiring from the bench, Judge
Pemberton looked after the interests /
Of a large clentage, including some
prominent corporations. In June, 1909,
he became librarian of the state his

, the shadow back of one of the miners
cabins in Nevada City. A group of
men, whose actions during the execu-
ton of Ives demonstrated their SYM
pathy for the first Vigilante victim
and marked them as Plummers men,
were nearby. They could not see Penn
berton. They were discussing the ex-
ecution of Ives. They were half full
of barbed-wire whisky, and talked in
discriminatory. Sanders name was
mentioned.
Threatened Sanders Life
we must get rid of that -
Sanders" said one. "He is the leader
of these devils. But for him George
Ives would be alive this minute If
he lives. the lives of every one Of our
gang is in danger"
Eyes" said another, land we must
do it right away. He is altogether too
keen on this hanging. We will have
to put him out Of the way"
Pemberton, unnoticed, slippe d
around the cabin and ran into San
ders. He told Sanders of the CONVEX
sation he had. overheard, and warned
him of his danger.
I'VE will have to put up the bold
front to these fellows" said Sanders.
THE slightest weakening would en-
courage them in their campaign of re-
prisals. I'll see what they have to say
to my face"
