PLAN FOR LABOR
HIRING REVISED
EXPECTED TO STEP UP RECRUIT
ING OF JAP EvACUEEs FOR
SUGAR BEET HARVEST

Revised hiring procedure, which Is
expected to stimulate recruiting Of
Japanese evacuees for work at pre-
vailing pay on sugar beets and other
crops Of the intermountain and plains
states has been announced by the war
relocation authority.
Every farmer needing help for the
harvest will make a definite Offer Of
employment by sending to the United
States employment service q form
showing the type Of work, its prob
able duration, wages to be paid and
housing facilities offered
The USES, If labor Is not available
from usual sources in the locality, win
forward the offer to WRA for sub
mission to the japanese at assembly
centers and relocation communities.
When accepted by the evacuees, the
offer becomes a binding agreement
subject to termination by either party
on five days notice.
Because the new plan makes a spe-
cific offer of work and wages, said
Dillon S. Myer, WRA director. "the
net effect should be to speed recruit
ing for vital harvest work"
About 1900 evacuees from the Pa
cific coast military area now are work.
ing in beet fields of eastern Oregon,
Idaho, Utah and Montana.
other conditions governing the re-
cr1iting of evacuees for farm work
remain as before. The governor OF the
state and local police officers must
give assurances that law and order
will be maintained. Transportation
and housing are furnished by the EN-
ployer and prevailing wages are paid.

talking about the old days anyway.
when a braves mount was his fortune.
Before he adopted white mans ways.
the Indians hunt for venison, buffalo
meat, herbs and roots with never
constant supply taught him to tighten
his belt while wandering with horse
and trayois.
Most food stored for the winter was
dried. Cheyennes anticipate no great
difficulty In returning to the practice
Of stocking up for winter.
Most Of the Indians on the reser-
walton won't need to go more than so
or so miles to market" says Harris.
1t won't be easy, but mother
canned more than 300 quarts Of vege-
tables the last six weeks, and we have
beef canned.

When we sell our cattle, Wen lay in
load of groceries-flour and canned
goods mostly"
And the outfits which will move

bronc pairs and cayuses-noW stand
on the reins" in Lame Deer. Black
smith shops haven't yet returned. In
dams shoe their own.
Only bottleneck in the Cheyennes'
return to the horse is the return of
marauding bears. Lame Deer residents
blame numerous raids on bears mi
grating from former good hunting
grounds in Yellowstone park. Bear and
horse don't mix.

Poultry GrOIUerS Get
AdUice on Feeding
In MOLting Season

Because every egg that can be pro-
duced between now and the end OF
1912 is going to be needed IN meeting
wartime food demands, Montana poul-
try growers are urged by Harriette E.
Cushman, extension poultry specialist
at Montana State college, not to let
up on feeding their hens during the
melting period when egg production
Stacks off sharply.
She explains that by providing hens
with plenty of balanced feed during
the melting period they viii come back
into full production more quickly than
if feeding is neglected at this time.
Hens continue laying through the
feather dropping stage of melting and
need adequate feed to produce eggs.
Later in the feather building period
of melting, hens do not lay but never
theless require adequate feed for max
ing feathers. Providing plenty OF feed
through melting puts the birds IN good
condition to resume laying
LAYING hens require feed for two
purposes, first for maintenance, and
second for egg production and there
is a direct ratio between amount Of
feed consumed above maintenance re-
ouirements and egg production.
To illustrate this point Miss Cush-
man cites experiments conducted by
the department of agriculture. In this
test one group of hens having access
to all the feed they wanted averaged
182 eggs per hen annually. When the
feed was reduced to 87s percent, egg
production dropped to an average Of
1914 eggs, and when feed was cut to
rs percent the hens averaged only SO
eggs each a year.

materials such as new construction re-
quires. 1t would provide a quicker and
more effective means Of bringing the
projects to full production strength.
'sDiversification and sterilization of
the land units in the projects would
be the basis Of such q program, which
would involve not only colonization Of
some projects but also more efficient
use of land and water resources in
those now fully colonized," he said.
The program would entail two ma
jor considerations Building new later
ais and canals to bring full irrigating
seasons supply of water to all lands
possible, thus making it possible to
produce a number of row speciality
crops such as sugar beets, on land now
growing crops less valuable to the war
effort; and making water available to
new lands not now under ditch but
physically available, because of land
contour, to project waters.
Although he declined to estimate the
total acreage that could be brought
into production under this program,
Buck said the percentage for projects
would range from almost none to
nearly 100 percent, the latter on some
newer projects Almost 100 percent of
the lands on the Flint creek project
in Granite county and the Livingston
ditch project in Park county are being
fully utilized, but only so percent of
the potential total acreage Is in pro-
duction on the Broadwater- Townsend
project in Broadwater county and S.
percent on the Musselshen project in
Wheatland and Golden Valley counties.
He said nearly $4,000 to 10000 acres
on the Tongue river project in Rose
bud county could be put into more
concentrated production, and nearly
100 pefcent increase in Rnd under
Is possible on the Big Dry
project in Garfield county.
On the Bitter Root project in RAJ
valh county, Buck said, about $1,000
to 10000 additional acres could be put
under late fall irrigation and thus
made available for speciality crop pro-
duction. Construction of canal to
make better use of water from smaller
streams would be necessary first. On
the Nevada creek project in Powell
county, construction of another ditch
on the north side Of the project would
arrange dependable all-season irriga-
ton for about 1000 to 5000 acres of
good hay land.

Cheyenne Indian Reservation
Sees Return of Horse, Buggy

Horse and buggy days are coming
back 70 the northern Cheyenne IN
dian reservation. Not that hitching
racks are springing up around every
corner in Lame Deer, or watering
troughs dotting Main street, but In
dams again are taking pride IN show
ing their mounts and wagon teams.
Five years ago horses on the reSer-
walton were making their last stand.
Today, take it from George Harris,
young Cheyenne rancher who heads
the Northern Cheyenne Stock asso-
citation, he can count the number Of
tribeSmen owning autos on his fingers.
Federal loans prepared the red man
for the white mans rationing, al
though at the time officials didn't fig
ure to give the tire-tube lack the run
around. TribeSmen purchased cattle
with the loans, then needed strings of
from to 10 saddle horses, q team
and wagon. Thus horses regained their
former Importance on the range.
But Cheyennes continued to make
the rounds to town, dances and other
reservations by car. Then tires wore
out, payments wore on. Dealers re-
possessed most cars.
Harris went back to the saddle last
spring. BY midsummer wagons utility
rose to a par with the saddle horse.
Wooden bows were attached to many
wagons, supporting a white cotton
cover like the old prairie schooner.
The throwback hasn't dismayed the
Cheyennes. They never quite got over

in Montana. What is known as the
forests sphere Of influence" is the
largest in forest region l, which is
made up of Montana, northern Idaho,
eastern washington and northwestern
South Dakota.
Fire fighting falls in the lot Of for
estry workers, and Derrick has had
his share of eating smoke in So years
of service. Once he. and his crew of
men were surrounded by flames and
barely escaped with their lives.
That was in the big fire in northern
Idaho in 1910, still remembered as a
major disaster because of loss of life,
and destruction Of homes, farms and
railroads as well as of timber. Ashes
fen as far east as Minneapolis, and
the drifting smoke was so dense in
points in the Dakotas that it was
necessary to turn on lights at 4 o'clock
of an August afternoon.
Fought Day and Night
Derrick and his crew were sent in
to fight the particular fire that was
raging on the east fork of the north
fork of the ST. Joe river. During the
d days of fighting the crew varied
in strength from 125 to 274 men. They
fought day and night and almost
without rest. They had just succeeded
in holding the fire, when the Stetson
and Stevens peak fires broke loose and
hemmed them in. Then came one Of
the stiffest ordeals Of Derrick's ca
reer-that Of finding way out and
leading his men to safety.
Through a dark night he travelled
across burned-over country, guiding
himself by the glow of pine knots on
the hot trees. The next day he found
the way out and came back for his
men. When he returned to camp, half
he found his men feasting off
well-cooked potatoes and canned food
they had dug out Of the middle Of a
heap of burned supplies.
Derricks term as supervisor has
been constructive period for Custer
national forest. And to Derrick be-
longs most of the credit for the inn
provement and added facilities, his
colleagues say.
AS he steps out Of the service he
leaves behind him in Custer forest
monuments that win endure-road
building and camp construction, inn
proved ranges for livestock, spring de-
velopment and the building of reser-
voirS, and careful boundary and di-
vision policies.
When asked what he intends to do
when he Is officially retired, Derrick
says that he is going to stay at his
home and rest-for awhile.

July /, 1908, Derrick was transferred
to the Deer Lodge forest, and in June,
1909, when the Helena forest was en-
Iarged by the addition of the Big Belts,
he returned to Helena.
He was appointed deputy supervisor
of the old Beartooth forest, with his
office in Billings, oct. 6. 1916. r. T.
Ferguson was supervisor at that time.
This particular stay in Billings was q
short one, for in January, 1918, Der
rick was sent to Great Falls as deputy
supervisor OF the Jefferson national
forest, which is now included in the
Lewis and Clark. In May, 1919, he was
made supervisor of the Madison forest
with headquarters at Sheridan, Mont,
and stayed there until time to come
back to Billings.
Derrick returned to Billings as
supervisor Of the Beartooth forests
ia July. 1881. One Of the first things
he did was to make an administrative
combination of the Beartooth and the
Custer, which had had headquarters
at Miles City. The Sioux forest had
previously been incorporated into the
custer. The three former forests
Beartooth, Custer, Sioux-are now
known as Custer national forest.
Custer is by far the largest IN spread
of all the national forests. Its IL sep
arate tracts stretch across half Of
Montana and reach down into corner
of South Dakota. 1t has a total acre.
