state that warmer, drier weather on
the whole marked the week ending
May 26 which was more favorable for
both farm work and crop growth than
any since early April but low night
temperatures continued with addition
al damage fro mfrosts and freezing to
susceptible crops. The weeks precip-
itation averaged only OIL inch com
pared with OBJ inch for the preceding
week and 0.95 inch for the correspond
ing week in 1912. The average tenn
perature was 55.4 degrees compared
with 400 for the preceding week and
year earlier.
Satisfactory soil moisture condi-
tons were reported from all except
parts of north-central and southeast
ern Montana Good progress was
made in planting of corn, flax, beans
and potatoes with earlier sown crors,
such as small grains, peas and sugar
beet paintings now reported about
completed. Scattered reports indi-
Gated some damage to grains, sugar
beets and flax, and heavier damage
to fruits and gardens from the pre-
ceding weeks freeze. Growing alfal-
ia in some cases was hurt and alfalfa
winter-kill continues to show up with
high elevation crops completely killed
out in some instances.
Grain crops made satisfactory prog
ress and where moisture was good
winter wheat stands that were thinned
out by winter damage improved some
what by better stooling. Reseeding
of abandoned winter wheat fields to
spring wheat, flax and feed grains
continued with seeding OF all grains
and flax nearing completion. How
ever, seeding operations are some
what behind schedule as rule, with
some areas two weeks later than
usual due to our generally late spring,
this being true especially of that part
of the state west of the Continental
Divide. Some replanting of sugar
beet fields has been necessary in the
Yellowstone Valley due to frost or
freeze damage. Early sugar beets
are up and some thinning work has
begun
Ranges and pastures continued to
improve although growth was still
backward compared with many past
season. Landing is nearing compile
ton in many sections; however many
of the larger operators in the north
east section of the state are still in
the midst of lambing work Calving
and narrowing have progressed favor
ably in view of the cool, late spring.
An unusually large crop of pigs will
be raised in the state this year.
Arrival of Mexican nationals has
served to ease the sugar beet labor
problem to a considerable degree, with
roughly 1000 of these workers from
Mexico to work in Montana's beet
fields this summer. About 600 Japa-
lese evacuees and 400 Italian interned
aliens are also expected to aid in this
work. Haying operations will make
severe demands on the labor supply
when haying starts; efforts to recruit
and school children for
various seasonal farm work jobs are
underway in many communities Irri-
gators, sheepherders and shearers are
n demand.

My Dear Cap:
Once again l read in the Record
Herald at the Billings library about
two weeks ago the state tax expert
said that this state is in the best con-
dition in the way of finance than any
state in our great country America.
Wrong Way Horrigan said where
are we going to get the money from
to pay the little increase.
Money almost 81 million dollars in
all state funds at the present time.
I hope that man Wrong Way Horri-
gan and his kind who voted against
will not be in want as we are today.
If they live long enough am going to
give all those who voted wrong in Civ
ing the needy pioneer little increase
so they could live little better in
their declining years the worst pass
ing and lambasting whether friend or
foe if they bob up again for election

markable job, they did for themselves

and read the riot act against all those

the west coast including Colorado are

Governor Warren of California said

All hail to the pioneer who blazed
the trail and settled in this great state
of Shining Mountains and stood all

WFA Reorganization,
Stressing Local Units,
Is Expected Soon
Community Agencies
Will Be Given Brood
Powers in Setup
BY MALCOLM LAMBORNE, Jr

A e-organiza ton of the War Food
Administration, involving, among
other things, a decentralization of
the national food program, is ex-
pected to be announced almost any
day. sources close to Food Admin
tstrator Chester C. Davis said today.
Such streamlined program
under study by Mr.. Davis and his
deputies for several weeks-Would
place emphasis of administration at
State and local levels rather than
having ell control and authority
stemming from Washington.
Confirmation of what is taking
shape came yesterday from Omaha.
where M. Clifford Townsend. special
representative of the administrator.
delivered an address for Mr.. Davis
before the National Association of
County Officials.
Has Problem Studied.
Mr.. Davis pointed out in the
speech that Washington food of
acals were arranging to stream
line the necessary administrative
authority to handle essential war
work in State and county" adding
that for some time I have had the
problem of how best to do this
studied by people from the inside
and the outside, representing vari-
Gus interests"
The plan contemplates, Mr.. Davis
said. development of State and
county agencies, with adequate staffs
'to handle the many war time ad-
ninistrative problems in the COM
munities where they can best be
handled"
Immediate problems with which
local agencies may be entrusted in
clude the job of certifying and is
suing livestock shipping permits in
event of market glut or transpor-
tation shortage and the task of is
suing permits and supervising quotas
for livestock slaughter.
Davis Receives Blueprint.
These community agencies may
have an even more important as
signment when it comes time for
planning the 1914 food production
program, some authorities say. Mr..
Davis is reported to have received a
tentative blueprint of next years
food program from one of the ad-
mniStration planners, which envis-
ions an intensive education program
on the products that should be in
creased in each county. This job
could best be done at the COM
munity level.
The blueprint calls for WFA field
representatives to visit farmers as
soon as the growers have had time
to work out their 1914 production
plan. and work with them in sd-
iuSting crop planting intentions to
the maximum of war utilization.
Such a plan would call for we'll
staffed field Offices throughout the
country.
On several occasions, Mr.. Davis
has stressed that farmers problems
are local matters and should be
handled locally. In yesterdays ad-
dress, Mr.. Davis quoted one VIA
official as saying that the farm
labor problem. for instance. had it's
solution 80 per cent in the States
and l per cent in Washington.

Ydmamoto 10 Receive
State Funeral June 5
Ashes to Rest Beside
Those Of Admiral Toqo
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto. late
commander in chief of the Japanese
feet. will receive state funeral
June and his ashes will be buried
beside those of Admiral Togo, Jap
panese naval hero of the Russo
Japanese War, the Toxic radio said
today.
The plans, announced in a broad
cast recorded by the Associated
Press, reflected the intention of the
high command to perpetuate the
legend of Yamamoto as a hero.
June will be the 9th anniversary
of Admiral TogoS burial in the viii
lage cemetery of Tema, near Toxic.
Yamamoto, who planned the at
tack on Peah Harbor and once
boasted that he would dictate peace
terms in the White House, will be
the 18th non-royal parsonage in
Japanese history and the second
navy man to be accorded a state
funeral
The japanese announced last week
that Yamamoto, 50, was killed in
air combat in the South Pacific.
Doubt was expressed in Washington
that he died in action, however, and
it was pointed out that regardless
OF the cause the Japanese high COM
mand would have presented it as
the death of a hero.

COMEDY CINEMA
TOPS POLL BILL
"A Lady Takes a Chance
Features Jean Arthur
and John Wayne

Opening today at the Loew Poll
theater, and for q five day engage
ment, is the comedy riot Of the
year, "A Lady Takes A Chance"
with Jean Arthur and John Wayne.
Revolving gaily about the catch
as-catch-can romance Of q New
York working girl with matrimonial
ideas and O rope-shy rodeo rider
who yearns for the wide-open spac.
es and no feminine entanglements,
the film promises to be the most
amusing to date.
The picture brings the two favor.
ties together for the first time, as
well as giving Wayne his first real
opportunity for light-hearted ro-
mantle comedy. The combination
has won widespread approval.
The action begins In New York
City, where bank clerk Mollie
Truesdale says goodbye to q group
Of boy friends and boards O Blood
hound bus on o l7-day tour. the
Tour Is disappointment until she
reaches a little frontier town In
Oregon, where O "sunfishing" pony
losses rodeo rider Duke Hudkins
right into her. After this informal
introduction, Duke shows Mollie the
town-so excitingly that she misses
the bus out that night, learns she
can catch It on the return trip at
another town couple Of hundred
miles away. Her storm romance
with Duke during the interim, her
efforts to drop q matrimonial loop
over him and his endeavors to avoid
being caught create the sparkling
situations that build up to the do
lightful climax.
Hay wagon love scenes, a riotous
evening in q frontier gambling hall
and hitch-hiking across the desert
provide unexpected highlights In
the course Of the story's unfolding,
Charles Winninger as Wayne's 10y
al. elderly buddy, heads the sup
porting case OF the Frank Ross pro-
duction. Phil Silvers as o laxative
tour guide, Mary Field as Jeans bus
companion, Charles D. Brown
as q veteran and Grant Withers
