New Montana Book
Shows that Males
Outnumber Women

Men in Montana still outnumber
the women by a ratio of ia to 100
according to a book now ready for
distribution, Montana Production
published annually by the bureau
of business research of the State
university. The section on popula-
ton is a new feature of this years
issue of the book.
Though the ratio of males to fe-
males in Montana has been steadily
declining since 1910 when there were
1872 men for every 100 women,
"Montana's Production" shows that
Montana's population is still way out
ahead of the rest of the United
States as far as percentage of male
citizens goes. The ratio I'VE the en-
tire country is 1925 men to 100
women.
"Montana's Production" is distrib-
uted all over the United States. 1t
is a free university service to the
people of Montana, Roy j. w. Ely,
assistant professor of economics and
editor of the book, said. This year
copies will be sent to all members
of the state legislature, bureau of
business research through the west
and midwest, banking associations,
Montanan's Inc, all county extern
sion agents, educational institutions
and many other organizations.

County Organization Is
November Fl.

Valley county ranchers and far
mers on Nov. Z will elect commun-
ity committeeman to administer
the Triple-A program in their re-
Spective communities during 194S,
chairman Thomas A. Wagner of

flee Jan. l, 1943.
"All farmers who are participant
ing in the 1912 Triple-A program
are eligible to vote in their respec-
tive community elections Mr..
Wagner explained. Our elections
are held annually and give every
farmer and rancher in the county
an opportunity to have a voice in
the management Of the program in
which he is participating. Similar
elections will be held in every one
CT the 1913 communities in Montana.
Election of committeeman this
year assumes additional import
ance because of the many new war
time jobs which have been added
to the committeemen's normal
Triple-A duties. In addition to his
work as Triple-A chairman, the
farmer in the county who fills this
post is chairman of the county
USDA war board and ex = officiO
of the newly established
machinery rationing commit
tee. Next year all Triple-A commit
teemen will have bigger jobs to do
as they assume more of the work
previously performed by the chair
man to enable him to devote addi-
ticnal time to USDA war board
and machinery ~rationing problems.

The same mechanical ingenuity
that has enabled Herman Slowing
Jr., 80, Valley county farmer, to de-
wise many timesavers has now
brought him a federal patent.
This week he received official no
tification that he had been given a
patent for a machine for waxing
vegetables. The first machine al
ready is in use, on the large truck
farm of his father, Herman Slowing,
near Glasgow.
The new apparatus is a timesaver
too, especially when such root crops
as rutabagas, carrots and parsnips
must be p~rocessed by the ton in the
Slowing farm root cellar, a cellar,
by the way, that stretches under
ground more than $50 feet. =
Pulled Through Bath
At one end of the machine, wire
baskets are charged with vegetables.
The baskets, mounted on an endless
motor = driven chain, are pulled
through a wax bath and then
dumped at the other end.
His father recalls that Slowing
had a lively interest in things me-
chanical at an early age. When a
grade school boy he acquired an old
motorcycle motor and spent half the
night making it work" BY 3 in the
morning he had it firing perfectly.
When he was IL, he built a washing
machine for his mother that lasted
for many years.
