Victory Gardening
Need Is Urgent
This Year

BOZEMAN-Montana people-both
rural and urban-are strongly urged
by the Montana extension service to
continue their wartime gardening ac-
tivities this year to increase home
food supplies and thus help make pos
sible larger exports of essential foods
to starving people in war-ravaged
countries in Europe and Asia.
Food shortages abroad caused by
war and serious drouths have made
the plight of millions of people des-
perate, the extension service reports,
and it is chiefly up to the Western
Hemisphere, and particularly the Unit
ed States, to furnish the food that
will keep people abroad from starving.
By growing more food in home gard
ems, Montanans can aid greatly in re-
lieving famine in foreign countries.
Increased home production of food
eases the strain on transportation ia
cilities needed to move wheat, fats and
oils to seaports for export, helps re-
lieve an already tight farm labor sit
uation, and furnishes fresh vegetables
for home use to take the place of
other foods that may be shipped
abroad.

used in computing Mississippi River

Until such time as these benefits are
shown to justify all attendent sacri-

Poorly Conceived Plans
1--WE further believe that the in

Usage River Basin conclusively DEM

ROLLA, Mo-, April 10.-Citizens of
Phelph County, Mo. have organized to

Osceola, South Grand and Pom de

Would Limit Further Development
Limitation of the plans as now auth
orized by congress would produce lit
tie benefit and great deal of damage
to the Usage Basin. Furthermore the
plan, if carried out could limit future
development of the basin to consid-
cradle degree. 1t is evident from the

designed as an Usage Basin plan but
is proposed primarily for Mississippi
