CHEMICALS WILL
AID SUGAR YIELD

Chances for any sugar Short
age receded with a report of a
new seed bath which triples the
production of sugar beets, an
Associated Press release stated
last week.
The chemical bath increases
cotton yield by one-third and
other important crops by large
percentages.
The bath is a cheap chemical
in which seeds are soaked before
planting. Scientific laboratories
have been trying for many years
but this is the first time it has
been applied to farm seeds.
Beets in Oklahoma tests in
creased their yield from Sc tons
an acre to 1853 tons, merely by
soaking the seeds about four
hours, DR.. j. c. Ireland of Ok
lahoma A & M. college report
ed. The acid was naphthalene
acetamide and calcium mono
phosphate.
The seed bath was used x
tenSively on Iowa and Indiana
farms where beets were grown,
DR.. Ireland said. There was ev-
cry reason to expect the same
increase in yield on all the su-
gar beet areas as found in Ok
lahoma, which ordinarily does
not grow sugar beets, It was
stated.

DEADLINE FOR
LOANS IS FEB. |

Grain producers who intended
but failed to secure commodity
loans on their 1941 crop before
Dec. 81 have until Feb. /, 1912,
to make application and COM
plete their loans, chairman
George Miller of the Big Horn
county triple-A committee has
been advised.
Originally the closing date
for accepting and certifying
loans on farm and warehouse
stored commodities was Dec.
81 1884," Miller said, but a
recent ruling Of the Commodity
Credit corporation and the tri-
plea allows us to make loans
for another month. This is pro-
badly because of the exception
ally unfavorable weather con-
ditions which prevailed through
out most OF Montana during
this harvest season."
The extended closing date for
accepting and completing loans
applies to farm and warehouse
stored wheat, flaxseed and bar
ley and farm stored rye.
Through Dec. "a, loans total
ing 1886, 900 had been made
on 19,644,000 bushels of farm
stored wheat and 12,6O1, 900 bu-
shells OF warehouse stored wheat
In the state. Loans amounting
TO $4,000 had also been made
on $4,000 bushels of farm stored
rye and loans totaling $43, 900
had been certified on $4,000
bushels of farm and warehouse
stored barley. Fourteen thous-
and bushels of flax is being
held as security for loans am
ounting to $4,000.
with nearly half of the es-
tlmated 1871 Montana wheat
crop under loan, this state is
close to the top among wheat
producing states of the nation
IN wheat under loan. ONLY
North Dakota exceeds us in
wheat under farm storage loan
and only six states have more
warehouse stored wheat under
ioan," Miller stated. Farmers
throughout the nation are tax
ing advantage of the opportun-
lty offered to place their wheat
under loan at an IS per cent
OF parity price. BY doing this
they assure themselves a near
parity price for their wheat and
at the same time prevent eX-
cess quantities of wheat from
flooding the market and break
ing the price as happened dur
Ing the early thirties."

The Hardin high school bas-

action this week when they
meet two strong teams. Red
Lodge will visit here Friday
night and on Saturday night
the Laurel team will invade the
Hardin camp.
Coach Gene Garner called his
players back to practice sessions
Monday after an 18-day layoff.
The boys needed to sharpen
their shooting eyes and could
be in better physical condition
also, Garner said.
Little Is known of the Red
Lodge team, but it is believed
they have a fast squad of vet
Grams. They handed Lodge Grass
an early season defeat on the
Red Lodge courts, it was repor-
ted.
Laurel has a squad of letter.
men who are developing into a
fast aggregation, Coach Bennett
of Laurel stated.
Two good preliminary games
have been arranged for this
weekend. Friday night at tbs
the Hardin B squad will meet
the Sumatra team and Satur-
day night at 800 the B team
will meet the Forsyth second
stringers.
The Hardin A team will prob
ably be without the services of

PHEASANTS WILL
BE GIVEN FEED

Due to the heavy snow in this
area pheasants will be fed by
local sportsmen, it was an
nounced Wednesday night at a
meeting of Hardin directors OF
the Big Horn County Rod and
Gun club.
Feed will be put out Sunday,
Jan. II, it was announced. In
tereSted SportSmen are asked
to meet at the Big Horn Drug
store at 2 pm. Sunday to re-
ceive the sacks of feed and in
structionS as to where and how
to place the feed.
Other business to come be-
fore the meeting was the cleo
ton of Rhonald Iverson as a
director for Hardin to replace
Homer Scribner, who has moved
to Helena.
The group also discussed the
probability of being placed in
the intermediate duck hunting
zone instead of the northern
zone. This would allow hunters
in this area a Is day later sea-
son. The matter will be taken
up with wyoming sportsmen
and other wildlife organizations
in the state.
Plans for the membership
drive were discussed and will
be carried out later. it was an
nounced.
Plans for a Sportsmen-Far-
mer association were discussed
by those present. Such a plan
would call for local hunters
wearing an Identification tag
that would cost one dollar. Up
on asking a farmer for permits
sion to hunt, the farmer would
know that he was a member of
the association and if any stock
were shot he would get dam
ages from the fund raised by
the sale of the Identification
tags. Complete plans will be
worked out later and presented
to the interested parties, it was
announced.
