Beet Harvest Is
At StandstiIl
Factory Has Promise
OF trip Mined Cool
To Continue Operations

Beet harvesting in this area
has come to an almost com
plete standstill due to below
freezing temperatures, L. r.
Cool, chief agriculturalist for
the local Holly Sugar factory
said the first of the week.
About 1000 tons of beets
which are out of the ground
and topped are being hauled to
the factory, but another 1000
tons which are above ground
are still to be topped and ap-
proximately 10000 tons remain
In the ground, he said.
Mr.. Cool pointed out that
only twice since the Holly fac
tory here began operation has
the harvest been completed be-
fore December l, however, and
only once, in 1912, was it nee
essary to leave any beets in
the ground. He added that SIT
Mexican nationals have been
retained in this district, so that
work will progress speedily If
temperatures rise enough to
permit digging of beets.
A critical shortage of coal at
the factory was alleviated when
tentative arrangements were
made to get coal from strip
mines near Gillette, Wyo. The
factory only had enough coal to
remain in operation until the
last Of the week, 1t was stated.

MANY BENEFITS
STILL AVAILABLE

Capt. Bert Davis, Jr., officer
in charge of Marine recruiting
for the state of Montana, says
that many young men are err
roneously under the impression
that the benefits of the G. I.
Bill of Rights will not be ex-
tended to them if they enlist
now.
This is not true and all
young men should be informed
of the opportunities that will
be made available to them if
they enlist before the termina-
ton of the present national
emergency, the captain stated.
Capt. Davis went or to say,
I'VE have received many in
quiries from young Montanans
on this subject. I should like
to emphasize that young men
who join the Marines now and
serve at least 80 days will be
entitled to almost as many
benefits from the G.. I. Bill as
those who served in time of
war"
In concluding he pointed out
that enlistment quotas within
the Marines have received a
sharp cut. when our quota
has been reached, men apply
ing for enlistment in the Ma
rines will encounter some diff
ficulty. Our physical standards
will be raised and the number
of men eligible is going to be
definitely limited"
Many advantages offered to
men enlisting now and in the
past will not be available when
the authorized peacetime
strength of 100000 has been
reached. All young men who
contemplate entering the serv-
ice in the near future are
urged to contact the Marine re-
cruiting office at Billings for
further information.

Hearing to Be Held Saturday on
Addition TO Conservation District
Stote Committeeman to
Heur Arguments on
St. Xuvier Area

A member of the State Soil
Conservation committee will be
at St. Xavier at 2 p. m. next
Saturday to hold a hearing on
the inclusion of well over 49,
900 acres in the Soil Conserva-
ton district already set up in
this county, according to Matt
Heaphy, county extension agent.
The area to be considered in
cludes all land south of the
Two Leggins bridge to the
headgate which is under irriga-
ton. Eligible to make their
opinions known at the meeting
Saturday are all land owners
and all others who derive in
come from farms in the region.
The state committee will base
its decision on the amount of
interest shown, and those who
wish to be included in the Soil
Conservation program are
urged to be present.
The present conservation dis
trict includes all the irrigated
land from the Two Leggins
bridge north to the Yellowstone
river. The district maintains an
office in the Third Street build

or land owner may obtain in
formation free of charge. No
one in the district is required
to avail himself of this service
or to pay any charges of any
kind, it was pointed out. Inclu-
sion in a soil conservation dis
trict simply means that a
! farmer or land owner may, if
he wishes, receive assistance in

only for actual work done on
his land when he must hire
labor and heavy machinery.
Conservation methods which
have been stressed in the local
district so far have included
such things as surface drainage,
land leveling, establishing irri-
gated paSturage, improved
methods of water application
and crop rotation.

been done, and present tenta-
tive plans include setting out
more shelter belts in the area.
Accomplishments of the soil
conservation district here since
it's inception include $50 acres
leveled and 2O5 acres drained.
A total of So complete soil and
moisture plans have been writ
ten with the cooperation of the
district. At present an extern
sive underground drainage in
vestigation is being carried out
on 5000 acres of land.
Five supervisors are elected
for three-year terms by farm
ers and Land owners in the dis
trict. All may vote who receive
income from land in the area
included. Present supervisors
include Chester Bounous, chair
man; Guy Van Cleve, vice
chairman; Clyde RAIDER, treas
urer, Conrad Seader and Rod
Macleod. County Agent Heaphy
acts as secretary and John
Bryant is work unit conserva-
ZIONIST.

will be held early in December,
with December IA the tentative
date. The term of Mr. Seadel
