CHRISTMAS TREES
NET LARGE SUM
sss. 900 INCOME FOR FLATHEAD
AND LINCOLN COUNTIES
ESTIMATED

An extensive study Of Christmas
tree harvesting practices In Flat
head county and the Trego-
Eureka district in Lincoln county
has been made by Matt Spencer,
farm forester, representing the
soil conservation service, Leonard
EliasOn, county agent, and forest
officers representing the Flathead
forest, il is reported by J. g.
Urquhart, forest supervisor.
The purpose Of the study was TO
determine the ultimate effect of the
industry on forests and obtain in
formation on income derived by local
people. prices paid for stumpage and
various other phases of the matter
which have 3 bearing on harvesting
Christmas trees.
The general conclusion indicates
practices by the various operators are
not uniform and the effect Of cutting
trees depends almost entirely upon the
selection and manner of handling the
work. Some improvement was noted
over practices in previous year. Some
owners are selecting trees and adopt
ing various other practices with =
view to continuous production OF
Christmas trees as a crop. A notable
example Of this was seen on lands
owned by ]. E. Kaufman IN the Vi
entity Of Creston.
It is reported 178 carloads Of trees
were shipped from the locality, which
represents a local income Of $4,000,
since 1t Is estimated 1t costs about
$500 a carload for stumpage, labor and
transportation.
The study indicates much Of the
best timber producing land in Flat
head county is not well adapted to
the production of Christmas trees on
account of rapid growth. Gravelly,
glacial moraines, having relatively
Door soil, in some instances produced
bushy, well-formed trees that are
superior to those grown on better
sites
Christmas trees can, by proper
methods. be produced without damage
to future forest crops and their pro-
duction affords an opportunity for
owners OF small tracts of forest land
to harvest an annual cash crop. the
volume and stability Of which viii
depend much on current management.
Ownership or control OF cutting
rights In an area year after year py
the same operator usually results IN
better practices than those on lands
cut over by different companies or
individuals each year. The incentive
for a sustained operation appears TO
be very desirable.

BUSINESS WA5G00D
 LAST YEAR
In Falt If Was Very, Very Good = All But iIle
 Stock MarHei
BY JOHN l.. BECKLEY Press StatiStician

The fastest industrial production on record brought little cheer to Wall Street in l940.
 Heavy industry closed the year in high gear, racing to fill the needs of the defense program. Books were piled high with thrilled orders. Pro- duction in most capital goods lines was already virtually at capacity levels.
 Makers of consumers goods also were busy. striving to fill the wants created by increases Of 5 billion dollars in national income and more han 100000 in employment.
 Stock Market Down
 Ye. the stock market wasted away. Value of al listed shares declined approximately 10 per cent and the volume of trading for the full year wss the smallest since 12l. Prices of common shares reached the low est level in relation to industrial production that the oldest traders in the financial district could remem-
 
 Der.
 Business earnings were excel lent despite heavier taxes. but in- vestors appeared to have lost con- fidence in future profits. Fears of a world economy dominated by Ger many, possible United States in- volvement in the war, more severe excess profits taxes. and disastrous postwar depression took turn about in haunting Wall Street traders
 Retail Trade Up
 Bigger consumer income boost ed retail trade ' to 12 per cent in various sections of the country. Sal es were best since 1930. and the volume of Christmas purchases was greater than 1929 although dollar volume was slightly smaller because of lower prices.
 Distrust of the boom founded on the shifting sands of government armament spending, however, kept money idle Continued inflow of gold swelled excess bank reserves by the year end to approximately $7 billion Demand for new money by business was small and for the most part was backed by government contracts al- lowing swift amortization of new plant facilities.

Farmers 10 Be Asked
To Gear 1942 Crops
To Defense Needs
Seven Million Families
Will Be Questioned in
Door-to-Doo Convoss
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Sept. ia door-to-
door canvass of every farm in the
United States. asking producers to
gear their 1912 crops to the defense
program, will be completed by De-
cember l, q Federal farm leader
said today.
Wayne H. Darrow. information
chief Of the Agriculture Depart
ment, told 400 Midwest agricultural
agents the campaign to increase the
Nations food output would be car
ried into the farm home by ques-
tionnaire, to be filled out by 7,O0O,-
900 farm families.
The Agriculture Departments
county defense boards then will use
persuasion TO swing the farmers
production plans to meet defense
needs.
Program Outlined.
Mr.. Darrow outlined the program
as follows:
Food goals for each State were
drawn up by Federal authorities
this week They recommend spe-
cific increases in meats and dairy
products, and certain reductions in
crops like wheat and cotton.
In Minnesota. for example, the
principal goals included an increase
OF 6S8 900 900 pounds Of milk, Is
900 600 dozen eggs and 81 900 900
pounds Of beef and veal cattle.
The State was asked to reduce Its
wheat by 100000 acres.
A Minnesota Defense Council, Or
ganized by the Agriculture Depart
ment. will break down the State
quotas by counties, and the county
defense committees then will carry
out the farm -to-farm canvass.
Every Crop Covered.
The plan sheet which each farmer
is asked to I'LL out is similar to the
previous A. A. A. QUESTIONABLE on
wheat and corn acreage, but this
time covers the acreage OF every
crop, the breeding OF all animals or
fowl. and the production OF milk.
1t represents the farmers work
plans for 1912.
The defense boards will attempt to
show the farmer he can cooperate
with the Government at no loss to
himself by changing, for example.
some wheat land to fodder
There are no penalties involved.
patriotism and profits are the only
appeals
Since the principal lease lend re-
quirement is for more meat and
milk. and since animals cannot be
bred so quickly, the agents will stress
better feeding.
Extra Pint Per Cow Needed.
An extra pint OF milk each day
from every cow would meet the
dairy needs OF the defense program,
MI Darrow said. The defense boards
will stress that this extra pint can
be gained by special feeding, al
though the last pint of milk may
cost little more More pork and
eggs, likewise. will come from better
feed.
BY December ! the boards will
report how much extra food their
farmers have agreed to pro-
duce. The State councils will for
ward their figures to Washington.
and the Government will total up
its expected 1912 production for
America and the enemies of the
Axis

sponsored by the Agriculture De-
partment, included delegates from

They searched their pockets and

run on a non-partisan ballot.
But there were no affidavits.
"And what does deponent aver
