Kind Of Ride Over Germany

Staff Serg. Eugene Hively, former
Great Northern brakeman in GAS
gov, is experiencing something dill
ferent in transportation these days,
evidenced by the story of the Whirl-

Germany.
Sergeant Hively, who is a gunner
on the heavy bomber is a son OF Mrs.
John Rohde of Stockton, Calf, for
merly of Fort Peck and Glasgow. A
CODY of a news dispatch from a
Fortress station in England telling OF
the Whirlaway and its crew has been
received here.
Through a miracle of flying skill,
determination and heroism under
the most difficult combat conditions,
the pilot and crew of the Flying
Fortress Whirlaway literally hedge
hoped home to England after a
raid over Brunswick" it begins.
THE Whirlaway flew at $500 feet
up the deadly Ruhr valley into
Holland and France to cross the
channel and GRASSLAND in an Eng

one continual barrage of antiaircraft
fire and the opposition of enemy
fighters. 1t took Second Lieut.. Don

homeward run and complete the
twelfth mission of the crew.

ASK INCREASE
OF TRIPLE
LANDPAYMENT
Irrigation District Launching
Move to Stimulate Land
Leveling.
Estimates Will Bring Thousands
More Fertile Acres into
Production.

After recent conferences in WASH
ington, the Glasgow irrigation dis
trict is launching a movement for
increase of Triple-A payments for
conservation practices on irrigated
farms, it was announced this week
by Otto M. Christinson, district COM
missioner.
Our aim is to stimulate produc-
ton of critical foods on land al
ready under the ditch" Mr.. Chris
tinson said. I'm the Glasgow dis
trict. as well as many others in
Montana, there are thousands of
acres of land that could be put into
production if farmers had the means
and equipment to level lands"
Both Mr.. Christinson and Charles
H. McChesney. Saco Divide rancher,
discussed the problem with Triple-A
and war foods administration Off
cials on a recent trip to Washing
ton and received encouragement
from them.
This year for the first time, the
Triple-A will make payments for
such irrigated farm conservation
practices as soil leveling The pre-
sent rate of payment is 4 cents a
yard or a maximum of IS an acre
for leveling.
In Washington, the Valley county
men suggested as a feasible rate Is
cents a yard and a maximum of
$40 an acre for cut and fill leveling.
First step of the district commits
sioners will be to make a survey of
the Glasgow district to determine
how much more land could be
brought into production at the sug-
gested rate. This will be done by
sending individual missionaries to
farmers.
When figures are assembled, they
will be sent to the Triple-A in
Washington. Officials there are in
terested in getting more irrigated
land into production to help meet
the enormous demand for foodstuffs,
Mr.. Christinson commented.
Among those with whom they
discussed the proposal in Washing
ton was Albert Borton, former VAL
ley county farmer. now a national
official of the war foods administra-
ton.

GAME WARDEN
IS GUEST HERE
OFSPORTSMEN
Mcfarland Reports Increases
i'm Eastern MOntana's
Wildlife.

Increasing wildlife populations and
increasing interest throughout Mon
tana in fish and game conservation
were reported Friday night by DR.. j.
S. Mcfarland, state fish and game
warden, at ar informal dinner in
Dunn's Coffee shop with a group OF
local sportsmen. E. d. Benson, pres
ident of the Valley Sportsmen's as
ISOLATION, presided.
DR.. Mcfarland was here on an
aerial survey of deer, antelope apd
coyote populations in northern
Montana in a plane owned by
Chauncey Finn of Chinook. Other
speakers at the dinner were Elmer
Johnson, state fish and game COM
missioner; Herbert Friede, deputy
state game warden stationed here;
Thomas G. Horn, manager OF the
Fort Peck game range, and V. w.
Bailey, superintendent OF the Fort
Peck state game farm.
OF special interest to sportsmen
were DR.. McFarland'S comments on
the increase of warm water fish
planted in Fort Peck lake. THE fine
perch fishing there, along with some
pike and trout, gives encouragement
for further propagation work. he
said.
Directing Planting
He pointed out that the state is
in part directing operation and dis
tribution of fish from the warm
water hatchery at Miles City and
has a special deputy stationed in
Glendive who is giving his time to
such work.
Possible curtailment of some &C
tivities of the state department were
seen by Warden Mcfarland, who
said, the manpower shortage is far
past the acute stage"
He pointed out how Montana, in
company with other western states,
had vigorously opposed the McCar-
ran bill for increased federal con-
troll of wildlife. The bill has been
abandoned, he said, but I'VE have
been warned of other dangerous
bills in the future"
The seriousness of the beaver sit
in northern Montana as 1t
to damage on farms and
ranches was stressed by both Com
missioner Johnson and Mr.. Friede.
Mr.. johnson told of the statewide
wildlife surveys and counts made by
he state department as a sound
for making decision on prof.
sctS.

on the millionaire Fort Peck
game range r picking up" partic-
llarly on the east end of the range,

lie said, have reduced hunting out
# season and, during the winter,
killed more than 100 coyotes. '
Prospects and plans at the state
anne farm were outlined by Mr.. {
Bailey, who also issued an invitation {
