URGES FEDERAL,
CROP INSURANCE

Protection of the 1943 wheat
crop from the time it goes into
the ground until it is in the bin
next fall Is the outstanding fea-
ture of federal all-risk crop in
Surance, Chairman George G..
Miller of the Big Horn county
tr1ple-A committee reminds the
wheat growers.
Under the 1943 program an
insured crop is even protected
against damages caused by war"
MI. Miller said. Even though
Big Horn county may seem a long
way from an active theatre of
war operations, we've seen in
the past few months that this
war moves rapidly and in all d.
rections. Protection against war
damage is in addition to the
protection that has always been
offered against all natural haz-
ards including drouth, grass
hoppers, wind, winterkill, rust,
insects, flood and hail.
1.-The Importance of all-risk
insurance for Montana crops is
emphasized by a recent compi-
lation which shows that dur
ing the three-year period 1882
Al 55.5 per cent of all-risk in
sured crop losses were due to
drouth, 1877 per cent were due to
graSshopperS and the other Is
per cent were due to insects
other than grasshoppers, win
terkill, hail, winds, rust, water
Seepage, fire and other minor
causes" MI. Miller continued.
insurance for 1913 means an
assured crop next year and, as
contracts now being written also
also cover the 1914 and 1945
crop years, the insured producer
can count on at least rs per
cent of a normal crop for the
next three years.
Producers who plan to seed
winter wheat this fall for har.
vest in 1943 must sign insur-
ance applications before August
81, if their crop is to be pro-
tected. Even though a farmer
at this time may not be sure
how much wheat he will plant
for harvest next year or where
it will be planted. he should
sign an application which will
automatically insure all wheat
planted in the county for har-
vest in 1943 in which he may
have an interest.
Complete information on the
federal all-risk crop insurance
program is available from any
tr.ple-A committeeman and
contracts may be signed at the
county triple-A office.

FOR 100
RED CROSS KITS

The local chapter of the
American Red Cross was re-
Gently asked to furnish 400 COM
fort kits for soldiers and ma
rines sent on foreign assign
ment. It was announced this
week that, through the gener-
osity of various groups through
out the county, funds have been
provided for all but 100 of these.
Organizations and individuals
who wish to help are urgently
requested to get in touch with
the local chapter chairman at
once. Checks, made out to the
Big Horn county chapter may
be sent to headquarters in Har-
din.
The Filipino club of Montana,
which sponsored a dance last
Saturday night, collected enough
money for 1873 of the kits. The
cost is 81 each. Others who have
contributed include the Seven
Day Adventist church, 10; the
Christian Evangelical Lutheran
church, 10; the Fire Department,
10; the Campbell Farming or
poration, IS; the Methodist
Women's society, 10; Pryor citi-
zens, S; and the Wyola Woman's
club, 20.
The local Red Gross expresses
its appreciation to all of the
contributors, especially the Fill
pino club, the Board of Trus-
tees of School District Ill.,,
who gave the use of the junior
high school gymnasium, and
Roy Riggs, who donated his ser
vices.
All supplies for the comfort
kits are being ordered through
the chapter. The request for
them was made directly by the
War department to the Amer
lean Red Cross. Within the last
few days, a second, and more
urgent request was received, and
the local chapter is anxious to
fill its quota at once.
It was pointed out that some
of the kits may go to Big Horn
county boys who are stationed
abroad.

CAPTAIN LUCE
GIVES ADDRESS
Tdlks To Kiwunis
Club On Historical
Sites In Areu

Capt. E. S. Luce, superintend-
ent of the Custer Battlefield Ma
tional cemetery, told members
of the Hardin Kiwanis club at
the regular luncheon Wednes-
day noon that much could be
done to make Big Horn county
more attractive to tourists from
the East by putting more en-
phasis on the many spots of
historical significance.
Capt. Luce called attention to
the fact that the various civic
clubs were overlooking the i'm
portance of the historical area
that exists in this county. He
pointed out that visitors from
other parts of the country find
the history of the west most in
teresting. He suggested that
markers calling attention to
sites of interest near the high
way would doubtless cause many
to stop and even to remain for
a time in the vicinity.
This should be worked out
by and through cooperation, and
perhaps the best form of CO.
operation could be perfected
through the organization of
an historical society,"" he said.
IF tourists become attracted to
various points of historical in
terest on or near the highway,
they will be more likely to re-
main to visit these spots" he
added.
Capt. Luce predicted that af-
ter the present war, improve
ments will be made at the Gus
ter battlefield. Civic pride should
be aroused, not for commercial
purposes, but for the advantage
or all so that the many his
torlca! spots in Big Horn county
may be preserved and people
generally may enjoy visits to
these places of interest.
Carl Adams, district manager
Of the Holly Sugar Company
and a member of the Sidney,
Mont, Kiwanis club and Roy
Cool of Hardin were other
guests of the club.
Kwanian Robert Kruger was
awarded the weekly allotment
of war stamps.
W. Lyle Bell. vice president of
the Hardin club will be official
delegate to the Montana dis
trict convention to be held at
Butte next Sunday and Mon
day.

CHANGES ARE MADE IN PHEASANT
SHOOTING DATES BY COMMISSION
Season Will Open
September rs. Runs
To December 4

The Big Horn, Yellowstone
and Treasure counties Chinese
Pheasant season was set by the
Montana State Fish and Game
Commission to begin Sept. 26
and last through Dec. 4.
At a meeting earlier this sum-
mer, it had been decided to
open a ten-day season Aug. 80,
but Chairman j. w. Severy OF
Misoula said the region now has
too many small birds, and there
IS danger to crops from possible
fires caused by hunters.
Farmers in the area last
spring filed objections with the
commission, charging the birds
were damaging crops.
The bag limit is five per day,
with a possession limit of ten
birds. The season may be
changed on five days notice.
Local hunters will not be per-
mitted to hunt prairie chickens,
blue grouse, ruffled grouse, fool
hens or sage hens, though sew
eral other counties in the state
are open for hunting these birds
on various dates.
The statewide Hungarian
partridge season was set ten
tatively from Oct. Is to Nov. IS
with a bag limit of three birds
and a possession limit of six
birds.
Commission members ex-
planned that the regulations
were tentative only and would
be finally set at the September
meeting. They added that in
each case, an attempt was made
to make rules uniform for ada
cent areas as far as possible.
Shooting hours on all birds
were set at sunrise to sunset,
to correspond with the hours for
migratory game bird shooting.
