OPT, 900 in 1916. Intended spring
wheat paintings for 1916 are g.
318,000 acres. Winter wheat plant
ed for harvest this year occupies
1,718,000 acres.
Increased paintings of corn, oats
and barley is expected on lands re-
leased from spring wheat and flax.
The large 1915 flaxseed acreage
turned out a rather poor crop, and
growers this year plan to reduce
their paintings 81 per cent. A con-
tinual increase in the number of
cattle, together with the saw-fly
hazard with spring wheat, are in
ducements to plant larger acreages
of feed grains.
Expansion of the sugar beet
acreage as shown by the March 1
report is qualified somewhat by the
prospective supply of outside labor
for thinning and harvesting. The
intended paintings of $4,000 acres,
which is 6 per cent more than last
year, would be a record beet acre
age for Montana.
Although the bean acreage may
be slightly larger than last year,
the paintings of dry peas will be
significantly reduced. 1t is also in
tended that potatoes will be planted
a smaller acreage.
In a survey of the national farm
ing situation it is found that farm
ers are responding in much the
same manner as prevailed in four
successive seasons of heavy war
production. An acreage of
principal crops equaling the rela-
high level of recent years
will be planted this year, if the
weather permits the farmers of the
U. S. to carry out their intentions.

CIRCULATE IN CITY
Committee Hopes To Submit
Request To Council At Meet
ing Of April 2

Zone committeeman are circulat-
ing petitions requesting the city
council to call a special election for

the petitions to the council at a
meeting on April 2.
Acceptance by the council would
include the setting of a date for the
election and the publication of
notice over a period of several
weeks.
The proposed pool is a $4,000
project. Plans adopted by the
general committee earlier in the
year are for a pool so by 100 feet

Where Away Gordon! Now
 Yankee
NeCdrihY Not Freffing Over Terrific Sorting Task
 Looming Ahead
lBY Gayle TalbOtl

NEW YORK = Joe Mccarthy puffed complacently on good ci- gar and refused to worry about the terrific job he faces in trying to sort out some TO ball players in the Yankees two Florida training camps.
 Its not going to be as bad as some people seem to think" he said during lull in a press con- ference at the Yankee offices, when the appointment of Red Rolfe as the Clubs No. coach was an- nounced. Tt won't be bad on a club like ours, where there are plenty of good ball players.
 Sure, it's going to be difficult to pick the best 25 or 30 players cut of such a huge squad, but we'll have lot of time to make our de- cisions, and the good ones have a way of coming to the top. Mistakes will be made, suppose. I might overlook some fine players. But 1T l do they won't be lost to us They'll still be on one of our Farm Clubs"
 Joe estimated there would be some 35 candidates at St. Peters burg and Bradenton whom he eith- CT had not seen play in the past three wears or never had seen in action
 Frankly" he continued, I'm not so much worried about recognizing the new talent as I am in detect ing whether some of our older stars might have reached or passed their peak while they were in the ser vice. It's entirely possible that some of them did. They are the ones who are going to be in my own camp at St. Petersburg and who will make the training tour through Texas with me"
 The Yankee boss was entirely serious when he asked the baseball writers not to engage in protect ed guessing game about what he would do with his great second baseman, Joe Gordon, who is due back from the service. It is quite a problem, for George Stirnweiss developed into beauty while Cor con was away, leading the Ameri- can League in batting and in stol- en bases the past season.
 Lust let me decide about it" Joe said with a touch of asperity, and when I get it figured out I'll tell everybody at once. If you wish, I'll put that in writing"
 Mccarthy has pretty well recov- cred from the stomach complaint which laid him low late last sea- son and expects to get in full years work He seems to have re- gained some of his old enthusiasm now that Joe DiMaggio and his other pennant- winning stars are returning.

ROCKY ROCKS. HORNE --- NOT. HARD ENOUGH.
Golden Boys K-0 Streak Ends But He Wins
 Bout Hard Way

NEW YORK, Jan. 19. = Rocky Graziano's senational knock { streak is ended today but, in win ming fight the hard way boxing s current golden boy showed that he may be ready to give middle weight champion Tony zale plenty of trouble.
 Rockabye Rocky's six-fight flat tering record came a cropper against Sonny Horne in Madison Square Garden last night but the slugger from New York's East Side looked impressive as he belted out a ten-round decision.
 Despite the fact that Horne is noted for his punch taking prow- ess and had walked off with seven victories in eight fights since his release from the Navy, the betting boys had made Graziano a l to 3 choice to win and a to fa- vorite to stop the Valley Stream, N. Y, boxer.
 A packed house of 18,907 GUS toners who contributed to a S1O8, / ETA gross gate-Graziano's third straight hundred grand gate-ex- pected Rocky to make good the odds in the first round when he unlimbered his Big Tom right and staggered Horne. But the former Ohioan weathered the storm and although he took a severe shellack- ing in a number of other frames and seemed on his way out in the tenth, he was still on his feet at the end
 As a matter of fact, Graziano, who feasted mainly on welter- weights during his sleep producing run, wasn't able to floor his blond opponent. And for the first time in long spell Graziano was out weighed-155l5 to 156&

SNOW DOPE.

Practically perfect skiing is fore seen for this afternoon and tomor- row on Douglas Islands meadows based on actual observation of meadow and trail conditions yes terday.
 Very light crust over four or five inches of powder" was the way it looked Friday and there's been no weather change since that shouldn't go toward improving things even.
 Two helpful hints for skiers turn ing out this week end come right from the horses mouth-the Ju- neau Ski Patrol: s
 1. That skiers turn out to aid in packing the Slalom slope to the aforesaid perfection It's hoped to open up the solar unused section of the Second Meadow. on the other side of the ski tow.
 2. That slat addicts mount the trail on their skis to widen the track and put it too in top sliding shape. Trail running also should be good this weekend with little ef- fort spent on the trail Also--those who insist on foot-slogging 1t up the right-of are asked to keep well to the side, to refrain from further deepening the rut creasing the middle.
 Tomorrow's program at the Sec- ond Meadow presents the seldpni- varied Juneau Ski Club presented diet of hot dogs and coffee; the regular instruction classes and Slalomites-and, a surprise novel ty race"
 Postwar expansion of skiing in- terest in Alaska is evidenced by an invite received from Anchorage for the Juneau Ski Club to send a four-man team to participate in the snow events at the revived An- chorage Fur Rendezvous, coming up in February. Consideration of where to obtain the where -with-al to send crew on the jaunt is now before club officers.

NEW YORK, Jan l9. - Who's laughing at who? Chicago bas- ketball followers have been snicker- ing at Ned Irish's wrong guess on the little Indiana State basket ball team. Ned booked the Hoosiers for a Garden game, but when Oregon returned to the lists he sidetracked them in favor of the Webfoots. . Enroute East, Ore gon played in the DePaul Tourna- ment in Chicago and was slapped down by none other than Indiana State.
