found can Of the diamond dust in
the old mill building. She handled 1t
very carefully. thinking 1t was an ex-
plosive. until her husband told her Of
its nature
Three years after the death of the
elder Heffner. the son reopened the
quarry, added a number Of pieces Of
mill equipment and operated along
the old lines for a number Of years.
He later decided to suspend opera

log mill building. which has been a
landmark for many years. will be torn
down. and the last visible sign Of the
pioneer industry will disappear.
One relic at the quarry site, which
Heffner says probably will follow the
mill machinery to the scrap pile. is
an old steam boiler, said to have been
the first one brought into Montana
territory. The boiler was never used
in the stone business. 1t belonged to
the elder Heffner at the time he
stopped his sawmill work. It had been
freighted into eastern Montana by OK

put together by hand labor, and its
joints and rivets appear in good con-

DakOtan Says Wheat
An Essential Product

The government does not classify
the wheat farms as essential war In
dustries," Representative Burdick. R..
N. D., told congress recently, adding
that mo greater blunder could b
made"
Food will win this war" he said.
1T has won every war in the history
of mankind Not single exception TO
this inflexible rule can be found tn
history
IN discussing what food is, the
government lists dairy products, beef.
pork and mutton. In trying to assign
some sane reason for this exception as
to wheat, there can be no explanation
unless it be that at the moment we
have a surplus of wheat. That Is the
best sign yet that we are going to win
this war. If we had surplus Of 10
billion bushels, we would win sooner"

RETURN OF DUST

GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRICES

TRIBUTING FACTORS

Another wartime sodbusting spret

Agricultural prices are favorable
signs indicate bumper crops ahead
and the world is getting hungry, they
point out, and, just such set of cir.

World war to break sod and plant

lost its anchor-the native buffalo

By the mid-thirties it was the dust
bowl. shrouded in clouds sometimes
black, sometimes saffron but always

Grass Brought Back
Several years of favorable weather
and scientific farming have brought
grass or good cover crops back to
most of the dust bowl lands the soil
experts said never should have been
cultivated. Instead, they said, II
should have been retained as vast
cattle range.
But will farmers "bust sod" again?
There is no doubt that real estate

others. have in some degree started
the trend" says Kenneth w. Chal-
mers. Colorado state land conserva-
zionist. But he had the other soil
conservation experts in great plains
states quick to add that several

before it gets good start.
A shortage of farm labor and
equipment is preventing expansion
on a grand scale. In addition, soil
erosion districts have been created in
many dust bowl counties and in these
districts the breaking of sod is for
hidden. Another brake is the AAA
program that sets up wheat market
ing quotas and prevents the growing
of too much wheat.
At Springfield, once known as the
dust bowl capital" County Agent
Claude E. Gausman says: IT do not
think we will have to worry about a
dust bowl here because of man, but
do believe in two years we will have
more abandoned acres because Of
lack of farmers than ever before in
the history of the county"
Fewer Wheat Acres Seen
Though 5000 fewer acres of wheat
are expected to be seeded for next
year, in the county, it is feared that
the farm-labor shortage may become
so acute that some Of next years cror
will not be harvested.
The soil conservation service ha:
encouraged the restoration of gras!
land in many crop areas to prevent
erosion.

2 COUNTIES MAY
LACK SENATOR'S

Unless the army is more than
usually generous with its furloughs,
or the Lewis and Clark and Garfield
county commissioners get to work
making appointments, those two coun-
ties may not be represented in the
1943 senate.
Sen. Charles H. Mahoney, R., Gar
field, and Sen. R. E. Morrison, D.,
Lewis and Clark, both holdovers, are
in the armed forces, Mahoney with
the field artillery and Morrison with
the air force
Shortly before leaving for the army,
Mahoney said he hoped to obtain a
60-day furlough to attend the 1913
legislative session.
However, it was the concensus of
capitol attorneys and officials that CO.
day furloughs were pretty rare in the
army and that the commissioners of
the two counties should, under state
law, Immediately appoint acting sena-
tors to fill Mahoney's and Morrison's
places.
1t was pointed out that under sec
ton z, chapter Al, state or county
officials called into the armed forces
would be granted leaves Of absence
and could resume their positions when
they returned, if they returned before
their terms expired. Section of that
act imposed upon the governor the
job Of appointing acting officials to
replace district judges and officials
elected from the state at large an6
required the county commissioners to
appoint acting officials to replace
county officials.
Some capitol officials said they be-
lieved senate appointments should bt

and Lewis and Clark boards to in.

in the upper house. They said that u
Mahoney and Morrison did return or

Appointments now, they said, woule

from q last-minute replacement.
Mahoney and Morrison are the only
two Of the states S. senators absent
on military duty. The remainder OF
the senate either were elected to new
terms In November or arc holdoyers
