Economic trends in Montana To-
the past IS years are indicated in z
6O-page bulletin, "Montana's Pro-
duction, 1%930-'45," which has beer
published by Montana State univer-
sity and now is ready for distribu-
ton.
Prepared by DR.. j. w. Ely of the
department Of economics and soci-
ology at the State university, the
publication contains statistical in
formation on more than 100 differ
ent items. Data on agriculture,
numbering, mining, manufacturing,
commerce, transportation, finance
and other economic fields are in
cluded in the bulletin.
Information in the publication is
useful to merchants, farmers, manu-
facturers, miners, professional peo-
pie and others who may be inter
ested in the economic pursuits of
Montana, DR.. Ely has indicated.
In agriculture, the bulletin shows
that a few Montana farm products
experienced productions gains in
1914 over 1913. Among these were
commercial apples, cherries, alfalfa
and sweet clover seed, sugar beets
and barley.
Products which sustained setbacks
in production in 1914 as compared
with 1943 include barley, wheat,
tame hay of nearly all kinds, wild
hay, flaXseed, mustard seed, seed
peas, canning peas, beans, potatoes,
wool, turkes and milk. Thus the out
put of most of the major farm pro-
ducts in the state was not so large
in 1914 as in 1913, the author points
out.
Farm income for the calendar year
1914, exceeded the income of 1943 by
more than $4,000, 900 with the figure
fer 1914 set at approximately $780,
600, 900. =,
In mineral production, only coal
and petroleum showed appreciable
gains in 1914 over 1913. Such pro- {
ducts as copper. lead, gold. silver, 1
and zinc. dropped below the 1913 {
output, the bulletin indicates. Postal ]
in 1914 reached SIC, 500 900 {
is about $4,000, 900 above the {
l943 figure. These savings plus the $
deposits plus a high level of /,
bond purchases, together with the y
improved credit position of farmers :
md others. constitute a tremendous y
backlog of buying power, the econo- =
mist says.

Redskin hopes of bagging Eastern
honors in the National Football
League sparkled like a shavetail's S
brass bars today as they entered a
2l-7 victory over the Green Bay
Packers in the books. Anytime you
beat the champs, even for fun,
you've got number going in the
prize draw.
Maybe the Packers didn't over
exert themselves. Maybe they were
holding back something for their
league debut against the Bears next
Sunday, but the stuff they used
didn't work in the face of the
Tribes alright pass defense and
rugged line play.
The Skins didn't try anything
extraordinary themselves. They bor-
rowed a play from the Cleveland
Rams for an insurance T. D. in the
final period when Baugh called for
a fake field goal attempt and tossed
a long pass to Bob Seymour. Their
first touchdown was a routine cross
over pitch from Frank Filchock to
Joe Aguirre, and there was nothing
subtle about Frank Atkins 4-yard
of f-tackle smash for the third. It's
bum argument to say the Packers
weren't trying.
Air Defense Does 1t.
A less alert aerial defense would
have been fatal to the Tribes hopes
for time and again Irv Comp lobbed
long pitches to Clyde Goodnight
and Nolan Luhn that looked good
Packer receivers muffed a couple
of pitches plainly labelled touch
downs. More than once they had
their hands on the ball and had it
snatched away by Wilbur Moore,
Baugh, Seymour, Mike Micka or an
other Of a half dozen backs. 1t
seemed that everytime a Packer
reached for the ball he shook hands
with Redskin. Evidently the
Packers hadn't heard of the nom
fraternizing rule.
They made good on one pass for
their lone touchdown, a 4-yard job

Lions Beot Cards in Loop Tilt
As Others Figure in I uneups

Detroit racked up a 100 decision
over the Chicago Cardinals as they
ofncially opened National Football
Leagues 1945 season yesterday, but
most of the other clubs spent the
day in sparring exhibitions.
At Buffalo the New York Giants
dropped a 14-13 verdict to the
Chicago Bears, while Philadelphia
humbled Cleveland, 17-7, at Akron.
Chuck Fenenbock scored Detroit's
touchdown on a 37-yard run in the
second period after picking up
JOHNNY Knolla's tumble. Dave Ryan,
l90-pound fullback from Hardin
Simmons College and only recently
discharged from the Army, booted
the clinching three points with
placement from the 35-yard line
near the end of the third period.
The Cards, in taking their 9th
straight setback, blew three scoring
opportunities. AL Drulis recovered
Jack Matheson's tumble on De-
trpit's SO early in the first period,
but his mates lacked a punch to
take advantage of the break. Ed
die Rucinski fell on another Detroit
miscue in the second quarter and
in the final period snagged Charley
Prices muff on Detroit's 18, but his
mates couldn't do anything about it.

yard line. The Skins held and
Baugh put the visitors in the hole
with punt that Comp took on the
4 and returned to his own IA. Then,
with the Same player passing to
Luhn. followed by Ted Fritsch and
Joe Laws on running plays, the
Packers reached Washington's SO
before Baugh shared Comps pass
on the IL.
Minutes later, after Baugh's punt
was grounded on the Redskins A,
the Packers almost pierced the
Skins pass defense on a heave
from Comp to Perkins, but the lat
ter bobbled and dropped the ball.
Washington dominated the often
sive play from late in the first pc
riod until the final whistle. Sey-
mour touched off the initial goal
ward gallop with two runs that
netted "a yards and Frank Filchock
finished it with a couple of passes
to Joe Aguirre.
ROsato Packs Punch.
Sal Rosato, who'll be the Red
skin fullback when he gets out
OF the Army, put most of the punch
in the Tribes second touchdown
drive. His line smashing featured
a 37-yard advance that ended with
Frank Adkins 4-yard drive over
tackle for the score.
Baugh. personally, attended to the
third six-pointer, tossing passes to
Seymour and Millner that moved
the ball from Washington's 20 to
midfleld. Aguirre got in the clear
on another throw but broke toe
quickly and forgot to take the ball
along. Baugh then threw a strike
to Bob Sheldon and sent Ananis
through the line to the Packers
36 before the champs held. That
set up the fake field goal and pass
to Seymour, who gave Green Bays
secondary hip without the hoorah
and went all the way for the touch
down.
Any more such goings on and we'll
have another winner and new
champeen.

pass to Al Grygo accounted for the
Bears touchdowns. Pete Gusaus-

their margin of victory.
Marion Pugh's run and lateral to
Mike Klotovich gave the Giants
their first touchdown and Arnie
Herbers pass to Frank Liebel in

Jack Morton broke through to block
Ward Cuffs try for the second extra
point-after which the Giants dis
covered they had only 10 men on
the field.
Steve Van Buren again spanked
Philadelphia's attack, running 81
yards for a touchdown after taking
a pass from AL Sherman, following
a 24-yard jaunt for his first marker
Roy Zimmerman booted field goal
for the Eagles other points.

from a shutout when he slipped
