BOOKS
NOW AVAILABLE

Farm and ranch record books
are now available through the
office of George w. GustafSon,
county extension agent, who adj
vises farmers that the start of
a new year is a good time to
start keeping farm records in
order to have an accurate check
on the progress of the business.
Besides providing the farm
operator with a good record of
his transactions, accurate fig
ures are essential in filling out
income tax returns correctly.
This year more people than
ever before will file federal in
come tax returns, it was pointed
out.
A farmers tax is figured on
his net income, and unless rec
ords of receipts and expendi-
lures are available, it is diff
cult to arrive at the net income.
To help farm operators keep
such records, the extension serv-
ice has made available farm &C
count books for this special pur-
pose.
Two kinds of books are avail
able. For one, nc charge is made.
The other, somewhat more COM
prehensive, sells at nominal
cost at the county extension Of
flee.

INTRODUCES WAR
BALLOT MEASURE
Maddox Presents Bill
To Montana Senate.
On Five Committees.

Senator Dan w. Maddox Mon
day introduced a bill in the
Montana senate which would
provide for war ballots" for
M%ontanans in the armed forces
and auxiliary units.
This measure is the fifth of
a group sponsored by Maddox
and seven other Republicans in
the upper house. It provides for
the listing of all men and wom-
en- in the service and the send
ing of ballots to them. The
ballots could be returned any
time up to and including the
fourth Monday in December fol-
lowing the general election,
with canvasSing boards keeping
returns open until then to in
clude servicemen's votes.
Another of the five meas
ures favored by the group would
repeal the states Hickey" gam
bling law.
A house version of the repeal
of the so-called Hitler law
would strip the governor of
hire and fire" power over ap-
pointed state employees. The
Hitler law" has been the SUBJ
ject of much comment through
out the state. and Governor
Sam c. Ford has twice recon-
mended that it be repealed.
A letter from Senator Maddox
gives the information that he
has been named chairman of
two senate committees, those on
federal relations and on military
affairs, and is a member of three
more committees, agriculture
water conservation and courtesy
and good fellowship.

MILLER CASE
Is DISMISSED

Subject only to a few proviS-
ions, an order for dismissal of
the proceedings involving the
Land and Livestock cor
poration was issued last week by
Federal Judge Charles N. Pray
in Great Falls.
This action brings to a virtual
close an extended court case
under the farm debtor provis-
ions of the national bankruptcy
act.
Only a few obligations of the
corporation remained under the
Jurisdiction of the court, one of
them being the claim Of Big
Horn county for taxes. A dis
pute is still unsettled on a claim
of Frank Bogard, and attorney
fees and obligations to the Utah
bank are also under the direc-
ton of the court.
Otherwise the administration
Iof the court of the estate is
closed and David L. Egnew, con-
Citation commissioner, is re-
lieved of further responsibility,
Dismissal Of the case came
when the huge rancid with 49,
600 acres of decided land and
100, 900 of leased land in Mon
tana and Wyoming, improved
its financial status as a result
of good management and higher
beef prices due to war condi-
lions, it was stated.
The company is now said to
be in sound condition with as
sets of at least 100000.
The bankruptcy proceedings
started Apr. 13, 1888, and 148
claims involving $500. 900 were
filed in court against the cor
poration.

TALKS ON FOOD
GOAL FOR AREA
USDA War Bomd
Hears Discussion
On Form Program

Food for Victory" goals for
Big Horn county and the state
of Montana were presented at
a meeting of the local USDA
War board recently by Burton
member of the state
USDA War board, and Ralph
Mercer of the state extension
service.
George Miller, chairman of the
local board presided over the
meeting. More than so farmers,
members of the county board
and representatives of interest
ed agencies were in attendance.
Field crop goals for this coun-
ty in 1913 are: Flax, 1000 acres;
potatoes, 300 acres; dry beans,
1923 acres; corn, 4,7l2 acres;
oats, 1892 acres; sugar beets,
1000 acres; barley, 13 ,476 acres;
rye, 1865 acres.
Goals for livestock, livestock
produce and eggs are: Cattle
marketings and farm slaugh-
ter. 27,5OO; sheep marketing and
farm slaughter, $4,000; sows to
farrow, pigs for market, and
home slaughter, $500; milk
cows, s,l56; milk produced, L.
43O ,2e9 pounds; dozens of eggs,
534,475; turkeys, 120 per cent OF
1912 production; chickens, ITO
per cent of 1912 production.
Mr.. Brewster stated that 1943
would be the crucial year in the
war, and that food was our
strongest weapon. Victory is
in our hands" he declared, and
democracy will meet the test in
producing food for the civilians
at home, our armed forces, for
our allies during the war and
for the liberated people after
the war"
Ralph Mercer, state extension
agronomist, explained the nee
essitv of the goal saving that
all activities of the war are
based on goals. The drastic
change-over of the manufactur-
ing plants of our country to the
production of war goods is sim
liar to the shifts that must and
are taking place in agricultural
production, he pointed out.
These goals were not arrived at
in a hit or miss fashion, but
were evolved from studies start
ed nearly a year ago, he added.
He emphasized the fact that
these were minimum goals OF
production, and that it is hoped
they will be exceeded.
Community meetings through
out the county will be held by
the local USDA War board to
inform the farmers and stock
men of their shares in the pro-

FARM LABOR
STILL NEEDED
Situation Jon. l
Serious. Though
Slightly Improved

According to figures released
this week by the office of the
Montana agricultural statisti-
clan, the farm labor situation
in the state, though slightly
better than it was in October,
is still critical.
The general level of farm
wage rates was the second high
est on record and shows an in
crease of 81 points since Jan.
l, 1912, the largest increase ever
recorded in a years time.
The index of farm labor sup
ply stood at Sc per cent of the
1935-39 average, compared with
81 per cent Oct. l and 10 per
cent on Jan. l, 1912. This indi-
Gates the severest situation ex-
iSting in many years, the Stats
ticians say.
The demand index declined
between October and January
in the west, north central, south
central and mountain states
but rose through the rest of the
nation.
There are some reports that
local situations are being re-
lieved by completion of wal
construction projects and the
return of the workers to farms
in the vicinity. This is a fac
tor which may be of consider
able Importance during the
coming year, it was stated, since
it is believed that many work.
ers who left farms for construc-
ton jobs relatively close by may
be reluctant to go greater dis
tances from their homes to
work in industrial plants.
The total number of workers
on farms Jan. l is estimated at
BTU, 900, the smallest number
for any month since the month
ly series of estimates was start
ed in 1925.
