DR.. Renne To
Speak Here

"The Impacts of War and the
Defense Program on Agricul-
ture" will be the subject of a
discussion to be held under the
direction of DR.. R. R. Renne,
head of the agricultural eco
Monies department of Montana
State college, before a repre-
sentative group of farmers, live
stock men, and business men in
the community room of the
court house Friday, Jan. 81.
Representatives of agricultur-
al organizations in the county
have been invited to attend the
meeting.
With a defense program under
way and a war going on in Eur
ope, agriculture is certain to
be influenced and adjustments
of various kinds will have to be
made in 1941 and following
years, it was pointed out.
Such questions as "Are exports
likely to be restricted for the
duration of the warp" "Can
we expect a return to condi-
tons enjoyed prior to 1922"
what is the outlook for do
mestic consumption of agricul-
tural products?" and what are
the possibilities of increased
consumption by low income
groups?" will be discussed at
this meeting.
Many economic experts have
stated that agriculture during
the next few years is certain
to play its part in the economic
adjustments that will be made
during and following the pres
ent war. It is important to study
the conditions as they effect ag-
riculture in order that it may
find its proper place, according
to authorities, and this meeting
is an effort on that line.

REMOVAL OF Nine MILE BRIDGE
TO ST. XAVIER CONTEMPLATED
C.C.CI.D. Would Do Work
At No Expense To
Big Horn County

Removal of the unused Nine
Mile bridge from the present
site to a place one mile west
of st. Xavier was discussed
Tuesday evening at the meet
ing of tn Big Horn County
Chamber of Commerce.
Don Flahart and Chris Gar
vey of Crow Agency were pres
ent and represented the Indian
service. Flahart explained the
proposition to the chamber and
said that two spans of the old
bridge would be sufficient to
bridge the Big Horn at st. Xav-
Ter. Members of the chamber
suggested that the remaining
span be used to cross the Lit
tie Big Horn above the present
bridge site east of Hardin.
It was decided at the meeting
to acquaint the citizens of Big
Horn county with the propo-
sition and if public opinion ia
vors the removal, county offic-
ials would contact Superintend-
ent Robert Yellowtail who would
submit the facts to the U. S.
Indian service. Civilian Conser-
walton Corps, for the purpose of
acquiring federal funds to COM
plete the job.
Removal and erection of the
bridges at the new sites would
not be at county expense, it
was stated. After completion
the county would maintain the
bridges.
Discussions at the meeting
generally favored the removal.
It was brought out that the
c. G. G. has already construc-
ted a road starting at a point
three miles west Of st. xavier
and continuing for IL miles. The
new bridge would be connected
. with this road and the road
would probably be constructed
7 on to Pryor. This would offer
: an opportunity for spring and
reservoir development and tele-
4 phone line construction to- ths
:. southeast section of the county
E An all-weather road would ther
be available from this area *
, Hardin, whereas the present
, road on the west side of the
river is impossible at certain
times.
