Prompt Filing Of
Reports q Must

! Prompt filing of reports covering
soil and water-conserving practices
completed under this years agri-
cultural conservation program is adj
vised by Charles L. Bump, Lincoln
County AGA committee chairman.
Filing of performance reports
now by farmers and ranchers who
have completed their conservation
will benefit everyone concerned,
Mr. Bump stated County office
personnel can begin reviewing re-
ports of performance which will dis
tribute our work load more evenly
and operate more efficiently. Opera
tors will benefit by receiving pay
mentS more promptly than if they
wait until the yearend rush swamps
county, state, general accounting
and disbursing offices. We don't
have the administrative money this
year to put on extra help during
peak work periods so operators who
file reports then will have to wait
until their turn comes.
Mr.. Bump explained that associa- ]
ton members have until December
81, l947, to perform conservation
practices but that performance re-
ports can be made anytime after !
the operator completes the prac-
tees he can or plans to do for the
year.
Procedure for making reports this
year is the same as in past years.
The reverse side of the Farm Plan
sheet is used and receipts or similar
data must be attached to show
quantities of grass or legume seed,
fertilizer or chemicals used in com
oleting practices. In addition, the
cost of chemicals used must be
shown. Some assistance payments
are based upon cost incurred in
carrying out practices and, for these
operators must submit
evidence of the practices cost.
Performance reports may be !
nailed or taken to the county AGA
,ffice in Eureka when completed.

Some Big Spuds
For the Record

A few days ago The Great Falls
Tribune became quite enthused and
rightly so over five Cascade county
Red Bliss Triumph Potatoes. The
combined weight of the five totaled
five and one-half pounds. Those
are good potatoes for anyone's coun-
try. but Lincoln county can beat
that record.
Saturday Mrs. Bill Bootnman
brought in two big tubers Of the
same species, each of which weighed
2-lbs. At that rate, five of the
Boothman potatoes would weigh To-
pounds-some spudsl In addition u
the two big potatoes brought to
The Western News office, the Booth
mans report many Of equal size
and weight in each sack of Red
Bliss Triumphs which they have
dug this season.
The Boothmans, who live three
and cne-hslf miles up the Koo-
tenai on state highway 81, also
raised a good crop of Melted Gem
potatoes, many of which tipped the
scales at three and one-half pounds.
Their garden produced nine and
and ten and one-half pound
cabbage heads in addition to the
bountiful yield of other garden

Christmas Tree
CuftingBegins

According to information received
by County Agent, B. F. Robinson,
Christmas tree operators are build
ing roads and trails to facilitate the
removal of the tree harvest which
will soon be in full swing.
It has been rumored that there
were too many trees cut for market
last year and that there was a huge
dumping of surplus trees. This
means that someone took a loss or
a large reduction in profits in hand
ling last years trees. That means
this year, buyers will be more
cautious in ordering large quantities
of trees which they may not be
able to market. On an abundant
market, prices 60 down and the
customer selects the best quality
tree his money will buy. II neces-
sarily follows that a producer sell
ing trees of inferior grade will have
increasing difficulty in selling his
trees, and will eventually run out
OF a market. Once a market Is
lost it is hard to regain.
If we are going TO permanently
remain in the Christmas tree bust
ness, let's cut and market only good
trees, and cut our trees on a sus-
tanned yield basis so that we may
have more or less uniform crop
Of trees each year.
Let's make the best use of our
land and get the largest
of its products possible.
Trees that have already attained
a pole or post size growth have
more economic value as such rather
than cutting out the top for a I
Christmas Tree and letting the bal
lnce of the tree remain to become /
/ fire hazard.

Hold q Howoiion
Dinner Porty

The Wichman home was a scene
of attraction Saturday evening for
a real Hawaiian Luau in honor of
Mr. and Mrs. w. F. Kienitz from
Honolulu, Hawaii, and Mrs. Agnes
Located, Miami, Fla. The home was
attractively decorated to represent
a tropical garden with natural Sage
palms and ferns, while soft Ha-
waiian music filled the atmosphere.
AS the guests arrived promptly
at six o'clock, they were thrilled to
see two dear little girls, Andrea
Agather and Joan Neils, who ap-
peared to have just arrived from
the Islands, grass skirts and leis,
bright flowers in their hair, and
ukulele, greeting each guest at the
door with a sweet Aloha"
Colorful leis were presented to
Is guests as favors, which were
worn around the neck for the even
ing.
The table was artistically designed
and entirely covered with ferns and
bright red flowers extending down
the center.
The centerpiece resembled a
Tropical Island, consisting of moss,
sea shells and fronds of palm, a
natural avocado growing in the
midst of it, while toy monkeys
swung La Tarzan The table was
beautiful in its appoint
ments, place cards in shape of a
colorful pottery gold and
black china from Honolulu, wooden
bowls and trays
The menu retained much of the
spirit of the real Luau. Poi, the
Hawaiian staff of life was the two
finger variety to convey it to the
mouth. Polished individual COCO
nut shells displayed a practical con-
-ainer for rice. Other exotic food
such as poi, Macadania. nuts, pine
apple, avocado, fresh \ coconuts,
oapayas guava and mangoes were
to make the Hawaiian
able one of surprising and deli
,ious dishes which were shipped
rom Honolulu.
An enjoyable evening was spent
playing Court Whist.
AS Mrs. Wichman skillfully made
III of the paper leis for the guests
he requested they should estimate
he amount of feet required in max
ng the leis. Art Neils was the bril-
liant winner of the prize, guessing
80 feet, the exact amount.
Another out-of-town guest was

which the study can be made out
side actual field trips which are
too expensive and take too much !
time for the average sportsman to
enjoy.
