Change Rules On
Oversees Letters

The existing military demands
upon air transportation facili-
ties for strategic cargo and for
personnel essential to the war
effort have made necessary the
immediate establishment of new
rules concerning mail outside
the continental United States,
postoffice officials announced.

loading of mail on aircraft deS-
tined Tor restricted areas in l.
official air mail, q V-mail, s.
other letter mail weighing not
in excess of 2 pounds per letter

Changes were deemed neces-
Sary when officials found that
reports showed the volume OF
air mail now being received for
transmission outside the United
States Is greatly exceeding the
space that can be made avail
able for that purpose. It was
also necessary to reduce the

Der of letters may be sent.

CAN BUY FEED
WHEAT IN SEPT.

During September Big Horn
county farmers and livestock
feeders can buy feed wheat
from Commodity Credit Corp
Grafton at BIZ cents per BUSH
ell, according to George c. Mil
Ter, chairman of the county
Triple-A committee. The Oct
ober price will be one-half high
er than the September price.
Congress in recent legislation
has authorized the department
Of agriculture to make 125 mil
lion bushels of government
owned wheat available to feed
ers at IS percent of corn parity
price. At this price farmers may
redeem for feeding purposes any
1941 resealed or undelivered
wheat stored on their farms.
Commodity Credit Corporation
owned wheat stored in local
warehouses may be purchased
in small lots or carloads by
feeders. The purchaser in such
cases will have to pay the load
ing-out fee.
Wheat purchased for ship
ment to any designated point
will be sold at the destination
county rate with the purchaser
bearing the cost of unloading.
Arrangements for purchase Of
feed what can be made through
any county Triple-A office.
Present livestock prices make
the feeding Of wheat profitable.
Wheat coarsely ground or mixed
with bran or other grains with
as much as SO percent wheat
makes excellent feed for all
types of livestock, Miller stated.
Wheat Is a good feed fully eq-
ual to corn in feeding value and
hogs and beef cattle use wheat
nutrients even better than they
do those in corn.
Additional Information re-
garding the feed wheat pro-
gram Is available at the County
Triple-A office, it was announ-
ced.

MAY HAVE MANY
HOPPERS IN '43

Because indications point to
more widespread grasshopper
infeStation next year and with
the added possibility that the
pests may damage winter wheat
when it comes up this fall,
O.. B. Hitchcock, assistant state
entomologiSt at Montana State
college, urges farmers to take
steps this fall to control hop
perS.
He points out that while the
eastern two-thirds of the state
is the most threatening area,
there may be local infestations
in other parts of the state that
should be controlled. "Hot
Spots" of severe infestation in a
few places in the state this
summer have been the starting
point for hopper migrations
with a resulting build-up ot
population for next year.
In outlining effective control
methods that may be used this
fall, Hitchcock offers the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Bait adult hoppers befor,
they have a chance to lay thef
eggs and do damage to late.
crops.
Flowing to a depth of 6 inche!
in the late fall or early sprin(
will bury large numbers of egg!
SO deeply that the nymphs can
not emerge.
Cultivation Of field margins
roadsides, idle and abandoned
lands, will do away with favor.
able egg laying spots.
Clean summerfallow is unfav-
orable for egg laying.
Every farm should have pro-
per equipment for bait spread
ing SO that bait can be put out
efficiently and with the least
amount Of labor.
