BOHEMIAN - In answer to in
quiries he is receiving, E. P. circuit,
extension livestock specialist at
Montana State college, points out
that all farmers and rancherS are
free to raise and butcher beef, pork,
lamb and mutton for their own use
at their own table without rationing
restrictions of any kind. However, ne
said, they can neither sell nor give
away such meat restriction-free.
Cool weather, he added, will soon
permit country people to take adj
vantage of this opportunity to
provide their tables with meat from
homegrown livestock.
This year especially, he said,
particular care should be taken in
home butchering to prevent waste
of meat. Many parts Of a carcass are
edible and should not be thrown
away including tongue, heart, liver,
kidneys, sweet breads, and trim
of fat and lean.

FAIL TO GET
RATION BOOK
Wall Reports that $3.50 Issued
at Schools Throughout
the County.
Number for Glasgow Shows a
Reduction from 1850 for
No. 3 to 4,085.

More than 1000 people in VALLEY
county neglected to procure their
No. 4 ration books during the days
specified for issuing the books at
the schools in the county, John F
Wall, county ration board secretary,
estimated in commenting on the
reports returned from the schools.
A total of $3.50 No. 4 books was
issued, as compared with 1922 No.
3 books, he said. In some commune
ties the condition of the roads made
it impossible or difficult for certain
families to reach the school and OBJ
tain their No. 4 books, but This
would account for only a fraction
of the total number who failed, he
said.
Those having a reasonable excuse
for their failure to appear may OBJ
tain ration books at the office in
Glasgow, he added.
In Glasgow 4,O85 No. 4 books were
issued as compared with 1850 No. 3
books. Reports from the other larg-
er towns of the county indicate that
