HIGHWAY CLOSED
TEMPORARILY

Falling rock from the cliff west of
Libby closed the highway for a
short time Sunday night, and it
was necessary for the west-bound
bus to lay up here over night. v. T.
Hovey, driving to Libby Monday
morning from Troy, was forced to
shovel out the highway in places
and reports that his car was bonn
barded with small rocks while driv-
ing by the cliff. A car driven ear
lier in the week by Mrs. Robert

tunately no one was injured.

Car Struck by Rock

Coming up from Troy on Wednes-
day of last week, to attend the Len
ten tea, a car driven by Mrs. Robert
Russell, in which were five Troy
ladies, when about midway of the
canyon, was struck by a large boul-
der that came hurting off the hill.
Mrs. Russell, being a skillful driv-
err, was almost able to outdistance
it. The only damage was a bent
fender. A serious accident might
have occurred but for her quick
thinking and acting.

Farm 5et-Up
For 1913
assigned to duty.
By United Press

HELEN A---lU.kt-MOntana's 1943
goal for sugar beets of $4,000 acres
will be reached and might even be
exceeded, depending on favorable
weather conditions and beet labor
developments, according to apsn1-
vey released by Jay G. Diamond,
senior statistician of the bureau of
agricultural economics.
Montana farmers are planning to
plant slightly larger total of all
spring crops this year than in 1912,
despite difficulties and uncertain
ties in the way of labor, farm ma
chinery and equipment, Diamonds
survey revealed.
Further shifts from wheat into
war-needed crops will be made in
all farming areas of the state, the
report stated.
On March l. farmers were PLAN
ming to plant close to the goals or
suggested acreages of the agricul-
tural war board in the cases of
wheat dry peas, sugar beets and
rye, and to exceed the recommend
ed acreages in potatoes, oats, flax
and hay. Indications were, how
ever, that l943 planting would be
below expected figures in produc-
ton of corn, barley and dry beans.
Since present conditions Of solid
moisture and irrigation water sup
plies are generally favorable, the
acreage of crops harvested this year
may equal or exceed that of 1912,
although weather and growing con-
ditions were unusually favorable
last year, the report said.
Wheat will be held down to an
acreage about the same or smaller
than that of last year and some of
the spring wheat, corn and oats land
will be shifted into war-needed
crops of barley and flax.
The strong increases indicated in
the case of beans and peas which
are meat substitutes will bring both
these acreages in l943 to record size.
The indicated dry pea acreage of
$4,000 acres is 40 per cent larger
than last year and comes close to
the goal of 10000 acres for l943.
The indicated bean acreage of So
600 acres is double the 1912 plant
ing, but unless it is expanded still
further at planting time, it will
fall below the state goal of $4,000
acres.
The 1943 potato acreage indicated
at 10000 acres is Is per cent larg-
er than that planted in 1912 and the
largest since 1887.
Gov Sam c. Ford has written
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, di-
rector of selective service in Wash
ington, suggesting that men Of draft
age who are deferred. to work on
farms and ranches be granted an
emblem, certificate or some other
form of recognition for war service.
Governor Ford said he had re-
celved numerous letters in the past
few weeks to that effect and asked
that the subject be given consider
able action SO young men now serv-
ing on the farm front may be en-
couraged to feel that they are con-
trlbuting IN substantial way to
the winning of the war
The governor said, Many such
young men have not asked to be
deferred. The fact that they are not
IN uniform of their country is not
to- their liking. 1t is difficult to
convince these young men that
working on farms in the production
of vital foodstuffs is important
more than ever before. Most of
them are anxious to join the armed,
forces or to enter war work because
they feel that they are not doing
their share and because they feel
