RAINBOW TO
BE- PLANTED
IN FORT PECK
State Fisheries Head Reports
FAC, 900 Have Been Placed
in Reservoir

The Montana fish and game de-
partment has planted 240,0 900 trout
in Fort Peck lake the past two years
and contemplates additional plant
ings during the 1947 season., accord
ing to word received from A @.
Stubblefield of Helena, superintend-
ent of state fisheries, by Elmer
Johnson, chairman of the Montana
fish and game commission.
During 1913, MI. Stubblefield's de-
partment planted 100000 Rainbow
fry in the lake during June and
July. The June, l945, plant totaled
10000 two-inch Loeb Leven trout.
I'VE do not know just how the
trout are going to do in Fort Peck
lake but plan to give them a coed
try and hope this season to plant
three or four truckloads of larger
Rainbow, possibly 4 to 6 inches in
length" Mr. Stubblefield states.
Pike and Rainbow paintings also
will be made in Nelson reservoir,
Mr.. Stubblefield adds.
When the SEEMING operations were
discontinued in Nelson reservoir
some years ago, the carp and gold
eyes became so numerous that the
game fish population suffered" he
writes. And, too, with the pollu-
ton of Milk river by the beet in
dustry nea Chinook, the natural
propagation in Nelson reservoir has
become almost negligible"
However, now that we plan to re-
sumo SEEMING operations, we are
making preparations to introduce
a goodly supply of 3 or 4-inch pike
in Nelson reservoir this next season
and hope to try Rainbow there.
There is, of course, a question as to
how well trout do in Nelson reser-
voir, but we plan to make the test"

OUTLOOK
DISCUSSED AT
GROWER MEET
Montgomery Reports; Valley
Men Elect Representatives
TO Association

While Montana may not receive
imported labor for sugar beet work
in numbers equal to 1945's all-time
high, still there are definite assur-
ances that adequate labor will be
provided for 1916, H. M. Montgom-
cry of Chinook, president of the
Northern Montana Beet Growers
association, told growers in Hinsdale
and Glasgow Friday at district
meetings.
dump representatives, who are Ell
mer Cotton, Paisley; c. J.. Billings
ley, Tampico; Victor Dostert, Nash
ua, and Paul Betz, Hinsdale. Dump
representatives attended the annual
meeting in Malta Saturday, where
directors and officers were elected.
Mr.. Montgomery was reelected
president at the Malta meeting, with
B. w. Haskins of Chinook as vice
president. Named directors were
MI. Cotton of Paisley, Henry C.
Miller of Harlem and Thomas ST.
manton of Malta. o. M. Johnson
of Chinook was reappointed secre-
tary-treasurer.
Mr.. Montgomery was recently
elected president of the Western
Beet Growers association. He said
Montana had its greatest importa-
ton of labor in 1945 and, at the
same time, Montana had the best
record for meeting its sugar beet
goal, besting the nation in planting
$4,000 acres, with a goal of $4,000.
Work has been under way for
three months to secure a labor sup
ply for 1916. Most recently legis-
lative action reported was approval
of 500. 900, 900 for beet labor given by
the senate. The appropriation fig
ure must be agreed on by a house
and senate conference committee
before final passage.
This will mean 10000 to 5000
imported laborers, in addition to
what we have in domestic labor"
Mr.. Montgomery commented. Beet
groups were successful in defeating
a proposal that a grower pay so
cents a day service charge" for
each imported laborer he employs in
1916.
Mr.. Montgomery also discussed
mechanical harvesting, pointing out
that so percent of the beet acreage
harvested in California this year
was done by mechanical equipment.
There are three combine types in
production. he said. in addition to
4 new machine that only tops
oeets in the field, but scatters and
tops.
He pointed out that the sugar act
1887 under which domestic
,rowers are given quotas expires at
he end of 1916. 1T must be re-
lewed to help the American pro-
iucer get his fair share of the
American sugar market" MI. Mont
declared.
For the Chinook factory district,
le said. it appeared probable that
,eet sugar content for this season
will average about 1850 percent,
bringing the grower s12.65 a ton.
O.. M. johnson of Chinook, secre-
ary-treasurer, gave his financial re-
,ort showing the association o has
ash and assets of more than $4,000.

President Oren E. Sterling an
nounced yesterday that Michael
Mickey Balla, honorably dis
charged veteran of World War 2, has
been signed as playing manager of
the Owls and will take charge of
the team when they report for
practice at the stadium on April 9th.
Balla is 20 years of age, plays
third base and is right handed all
the way. He has been in organized
ball since 1887 and although this will
be his first year as manager, he
has plenty of experience to qualify
him for the job.
He has played in the Coastal
Plain, Bi-State, Virginia, Interna-
tional, Eastern and Piedmont leagues
and before coming to the Owls was
the property of the st. Louis Card
inals, who agreed to give him his re-
lease so that he could accept the
managers job with Hagerstown
Towards the end of the 1914 Inter-
state League race, the Cards sent
him to Allentown, when that team
was fighting for the pennant He
played third base in the last six
teen games and in addition to his
faultless defensive play at third base,
was plenty uotent at the plate.
He trained with Toronto last
spring and the trainer of the Maple
Leafs tells me that Hagerstown has
secured real ball player, with all
the makings of good manager also.
Mickey will have plenty of mater
ial to start with, as Mr. Sterling
tells me that he has invited the fol-
lowing 10 men to report to camp for
spring training:
Frank Bisque, infielder, Detroit,
Michigan, discharged veteran.
