direct word from her husband.
1.-THE last time I saw him was
when I left Manila in May, 1941--
four years and four months ago.
That was when the Army advised
that wives and children of officers
and enlisted men on active duty in
the Philippines should return to
the United States"
Mrs. Wainwright said the last
letter she received from her husband
was written last January from a
prison camp in Hoten, Manchuria.
"At that time" she said, ''he
wrote that. he weighed 125 pounds,
or about IS pounds underweight.
He's over feet taN, you know.
But even so. that's more than
he weighed when Corregidor fell.
In letter he wrote the night be-

marine, he mentioned that he
weighed exactly what he did when
he was graduated from West Point
in 1906, which was 12l pounds.

1.-THE economic stability of our ma
ton is wrapped up in the farmers
fight for a decent income. The farm
ers in many sections have helped
themselves and the rest of the nation
through their organization of co-opera
tives. They must not be penalized for
this work which has strengthened de
mOcracy.
There is parallel between cooper
atives and trade unions. The cooper.
atives give thousands of farmers some
control over their own affairs, even as
labor looks to its unions for similar
protection of its income. The work
ing men of America have learned to
join together for collective bargaining;
our farmers have done similarly to
buy their supplies and sell the fruits
of their labors. Anything which weak

FARMERS TO
GET TREES FOR
SHELTER USE

Intended sale to ranchers and farm
ers of approximately quarter Of
million trees for shelter purposes il
announced by o. M. Patten, extension
forester at Montana State University
The young trees, which will be
ready for field planting next spring
are being grown in and will be sold
by the forestry school nursery at Mon
tana State University.
Applications for trees may be pro
cured only by Montana farmers and
ranchers from local county agents and
must be submitted by January l, Pat
ten said. Since the use of the trees
none will sell for ornamental purposes.
Varieties available are the Rocky
Mountain juniper, ponedrosa pine, Col
orado blue spruce, Douglas fir, green
ash, Chinese elm, American elm, black
locust, box elder, willows and cotton
wood
AS in previous years, soil conserva-
ton services in Wyoming and Colo
RADIO and the Montana state fish and
game commission have contracted to
buy some of the trees. The trees now
are ready to be dug up and placed in
heel-in beds for later spring shipment,
Patten said.
An even greater supply of trees
grown by the university nursery is
contemplated for future years, said
Patten. Ten acres of tillable land adj
jacent to the university for the first
time is being developed for paintings.
Utilization of this land, which was
leased by the university last summer
for 10 years, will enable rotation plant
ing, in which all land will not be used
every year.
Old water mains have been extricat-
ed and replaced with new mains,
which will be used for surface irri-
eating. Construction Of an under
ground packing shed is planned, to
afford a more humid environment for
tree growth.

Through their co-operatives enables
the farmers to overcome this long
standing handicap and get for their

under current consumer price levels.

That the success of the farmer CO.

of urban businessmen is we'll attested
