Street WORK
Woodward Company To
Be Asked To Remedy
Excess Oil Here

Work on Hardin's streets was
the principal topic of discussion
at the regular meeting of the
mayor and city council in the
council chambers Tuesday eve
ming.
All current bills were paid
with the exception of $4,000 still
due the Woodward Construc-
ton company, which had the
contract for the oiling on the
north side of Third street. It
was decided to table this mat
ter on account of the many
complaints which have been
filed regarding the excessive oil.
This oil makes it difficult for
pedestrians as well as autos to
use many portions of the dis
trict.
The city clerk was directed
to inform the company of the
condition and state that it must
be remedied promptly. The may
or and council also are request
ing the woodward company to
remove all gravel and sand from
the cutters in the district at the
expense of the company. The

Asks Removed Of
Beet Restrictions

Governor Sam c. Ford this
week wired all members of the
Montana congressional delega-
ton to support legislation de-
signed to remove restrictions
on the american sugar beet in
dustry.
The text of the governors tel
egram:
Montana is intensely inter-
eSted in the proposal to remove
restrictions on sugar production.
We have thousands of acres
that could and would be brought
into production were it not for
discrimination against the Am
erican beet sugar industry.
whether the surplus is to be
sent TO Great Britain is not so
much a question with us as is
the question whether we are to
be permitted to expand an in
duStry that has come to be
very important in this state.
Removal of restrictions would
mean a great deal to us and
would restore our belief i'm the
desire of our government to be
fair to every industry that con-
tributes to the life of the nation.
II hope you feel inclined to
do what is possible to insure
removal of restrictions"

hatch in large numbers in some
localities i'm the county, accord
ing to the county extension Of
flee, and some crop damage has
already been found.
It would be advisable, says
County Agent George w. Gus
tafson, for farmers to keep a
check on their fields to see
that they are not infested with
graSshoppers. Now, when they
are small, is the easiest time to
control these insect pests, it
was pointed out.
Grasshopper bait may be Sc
cured at the county fair grounds
free of charge, and farmers
should not hesitate to use it
on their land, officials state.
Although this bait is issued free
of charge, it should be used
with discretion and be spread
approximately IS pounds to the
acre. Directions for spreading
and handling will be furnished
