INCREASED ACREAGE OF
CORN RECOMMENDED

Bozeman, Dec. 12.-With only
100000 acres planted to n ir
Montana in 1916, an increase &c
250,000 acres in 1916 is recon-
mended by the state production adj
justment committee composed of
state and federal agencies concerned
with agriculture.
In its report covering suggested
use of crop land in 1916, the COM
mittee points out that corn may be
profitably rotated with small grains
in eastern Moitana, particularly in
areas where summer ,fallow is not
recommended.
This additional corn production,
the committee reports, would pro-
duce more livestock feed which would
be needed should drouth occur in
the eastern part of the state. In
addition, corn in rotation makes
possible more efficient use of labor
than is the case under continuous
cropping of small grains.

Laurel was second in the state to

quota, State Chairman w. w. Gail
of Billings told R. B. Packard,
chairman of the Laurel drive, when
Packard reported Tuesday. Terry,
in the east end of the state, beat
Laurel by a few hours.
The Laurel quota was $3.50, and
when Packard added up the figures
reported by committees and individ-
uals he found Laurel had contribut-
ed $785. The collection CAM made
by "~tenderfeet" who never heard of
a silver dollar, so Gail opines, have
not been opened. They will remain
in place until the end of the cam
paign, Dec. 25, when their contents
will be added to the other contribu-
tions. Packard, who has hefted
several of the cans, says they feel
weighty.
Laurel's quota of $3.50 was e
tenth of the county's, which at last
report had not been completed.

REFINERY MOVES

SOURCES Of OIL
Is High Bidder For Cat Creek
Leases Joining Deep PrOduc-
er-Drilling Huntley Well

In a move to supply its Laurel
refinery with crude oil from its
w production, Farmers Union
Central Exchange, Inc, was the
successful bidder for 200 acres on
Tuesday, April 4, at a sale of leases
covering acreage in the Cat creek
field east of Grass Range. The sale
was at Helena and was conducted
by the state land board. Several
concerns were bidders, with Farm
ers Union Central Exchange, Inc,
offering the highest bids on three
parcels making up the 200 acres.
The land board was scheduled to
meet Wednesday of this week to
make its decision on award.
Farmers Union Central Exchange,
Inc, was represented by P. A.
Thompson of Billings, division man
ager, and bid S65O.75 an acre for
a 40-acre lease that is the north
offset to the Schrock-Fifer gusher.
Thompson also offered $150.75 for
an adjoining 40 and SCOTS for the
remaining 120 acres.
The Cat creek field was first ex-
plored several years ago, with pro-
duction resulting. Lately some of
the deeper sands have been examin-
ed, with the Schrock-Fifer well
bringing high gravity oil from the
Ellis sand.
The Laurel refinery, with a rated
daily capacity of about 10000 bar
rels, has been supplied with crude
oil bought from producers. A few
months ago the company began an
exploration we'll on the Huntley
structure in an effort to develop its
own reserves of crude. The opera
ton there is having difficulty with
water, and a fishing job is in pro-
gress. Bottom of the hole is at

The refinery, built in the early

sources, including large amounts

T.B ASSOCIATION NOW
HAS MOBILE UNIT FOR
MAKING CHEST X.RAYS

The Montana tuberculosis asso-
citation has embarked upon the final
stage of the eradication of tubercu-
losis. The year 1915 witnessed the
purchase of a mobile X-ray unit,
the magic eye, sciences newest and
most powerful weapon against the
disease, with which it will be pos
sible at a small cost to chest X-ray
every person in Montana.
Of this newest miracle method of
mass X-raying, DIR. Thomas Par
ran, surgeon general of the U. S.
public health service, has this to
cay: Tuberculosis can be elm
mated as a public health problem
in a measurable time, if we use
the X-ray to locate every case in
the population, and l mean every
case, and if we provide adequate
facilities and personnel to isolate
and treat infectious cases. For the
first time, our chronological pro-
gress makes this goal practical"
For many years, the goal of the
Montana tuberculosis association
was a chest X-ray for every high
school student in the state. In ac-
cordance with this aim, 2O,194 tu-
berculin tests we're given and 1890
X-rays taken in 1914, in 81 Mon
tana counties. This was mostly
done through school surveys. Now,
with the new magic eye, everyone
can be X-rayed. Complete facilities
for X-raying chests can be driven
into a community, and from $50 to
300 X-rays taken per day, at the
unbelievable low cost of about 8
cents per X-ray.

one to help in this cause by buying
