INCREASE IN
LAMB CROP

The Montana lamb crop for
l943, estimated at 2,338,OOO head,
is about $4,000 head greater
than the 1912 crop of 2,S15.OO1
head. according to the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics, U. S.
Department of AgricultuI:e,
The current lamb crop is alb
out six per cent larger than the
ten-year 1924 average.
The same percentage of breed
ing ewes over one year of age,
81 per cent, had lambs this year
as in 1913. The larger lamb crop
came about in spite of the fact
that there were fewer stock
sheep in the state than a year
ago. The reduction in stock
sheep numbers were principally
in the lambs saved for breeding
ewes, and therefore this years
crop was not affected.
Range feed and weather con-
ditions have been unusually fav-
orable during July and August
after the generally poor start
due to frequent storms and cold
weather during the lambing per-
icd.
Reports of. sheepmen indicate
the shortage of labor during
lambing. the ineXperience of
much labor and a shortage of
ammunition for use against coy
OteS added to the normal diff
culties of sheep raising.

which would open 100000 &C
res of arid upper basin lands to
irrigation, and would also aid
in flood control, power develop
ment and navigation.
Congressman Kari Mundt of
South Dakota said congress
would probably be inclined TO
look favorably on flood control
legislation because of last
springs serious floods, and
therefore suggested a program
primarily concerned with flood
control but incidentally devel-
oping irrigation.
Governor NJ. @. Sharpe of
South Dakota, head of the COM
mittee, stressed the necessity of
cooperation among the states.
Representatives from the low
er Missouri river were also pres
ent and expressed their interest
in the navigation improvements
which would be one of the re-
suits of coordina1ed legislative
measure.
The three previous meetings of
the committee had been at Bis
marck, N. D., Pierre, S. D., and
Miles City, Mont.
Gov. Sharpe said that later in
the summer a series of meetings
will be held in the lower valley
at which representatives. of the
upper basin states will be asked
to tell their story to the people
of that area.

Suggestions Made 10 Curb
Accidents in Kitchen

Here are some ways to prevent
accidents in the kitchen:
Turn the handles of pots and
pans on the stove out of the reach
of children.
Fasten summer curtains so that
they will not blow toward the open
flame of the stove.
Before leaving the kitchen pull
out the plugs of portable electrical
appliances.
Keep matches in non -infammable
containers in place where children
cannot reach them.
Use short ladders, not stools,
chairs or boxes, to reach upper cab
inets or other high places in the
kitchen.
Place broken glass or crockery in
discarded box or can with a cover

Phone Company
Asks Curb on
Waste Calls

Overburdened with thousands Of
essential calls daily, local telephone
company officials today repeated a
request that unnecessary use OF the
communications systems be elm
mated for the duration.
As one spokesman for the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Co.
remarked today time is essential
and the phone is the most essential
means Of conserving It," He added
that calls should be made only when
entirely necessary.
The company in an effort to facili-
tate wartime needs has made several
recommendations concerning use of
this vital line of communication.
These include the salient points of
being brief in your conversations as
minutes count in war; control
that urge to talk long distance land
too long" and in receiving calls be
prompt in answering.
Washington, which Is bearing one
Of the heaviest phone-call loads in
the world, needs the service at this
time to carry on the war effort
rather than having connections tied
up by chatter" Is the way phone
company officials put it.
