Congressional Art Exbibu
ART SHOW PREVIEW.
By Margaref Germ 0nd

Official hostesses in Washington
more often than not are thought o1
as having little time to devote tc
anything beyond running theil
households and fulfilling the num-
erous obligations their positions ir
society require. Actually many o1
them possess talents to which they
somehow find time to give artistic
expression. A survey undoubtedly
would show all of the arts we'll rep
resented among these hostesses
although opportunities for present
ing their work come seldom.
Sunday afternoon, however, artists
among congressional hostesses, plus
some others closely identified with
the group as we'll as several hosts
among officials, are going to receive
considerable attention. The annual
Congressional Club Art Show will
be held at the club from 2 until
o'clock, with Mrs. Truman as an
honor guest.
Members of the club and their
guests may enjoy a spot of tea dur
ing the exhibit hours and at the
same time have ample opportunity
to view a variety of works of art
created by men and women of the
congressional set, the Supreme
Court and cabinet circles and others
closely allied to the legislative
branch of the Government.
Among the exhibitors this year
which is the third consecutive show
staged by the club. will be Mrs. Har-
Ian Fiske Stone, Mrs. Hugo l.. Black,
Mrs. Dean Acheson, Mrs. Helen Sy-
mons Downey. Representative and
Mrs Brooks Hays of Arkansas, Mrs.

ducers of sheep and beef cattle and

Through improved breeding, feed

tees Montana's livestock rank Sec

ably n of the most valuable fea-

ance on a state, county and mdivid-
ual ranch basis as a means of keep
ing livestock numbers within the
limitations of available range and
winter feed supplies.
Dairy Development
For many years extension has en-
couraged the development of dairy
ing in adapted areas, the improve
ment of dairy cattle and adoption
of efficient dairy herd management
practices. One of the NEAR toward
this end is dairy herd improvement
associations. Today there are 10 of
these associations in the state with
a total of 225 herds totaling. 5000
cows. County agents serve as sec
retaries of these associations.
Extension is also fostering artifi-
cial breeding as a new and modern
of improving dairy cattle and

ers association organized only a year
ago with 485 members now has
999 members in seven counties. Dur
ing the year 1910 cows were arti-
ficially disseminated from high quail
ity sires.
The growing seriousness of the
weed problem has long been rec
ognized and extension people have
worked with farmers for a num-
Der of years on control methods.
However, it was not until the state
legislature passed the weed control
law in 1914 that large scale prog
ress was possible. Today there are
48 weed districts comprising II, 000,-
900 acres in % counties organized
under the state law.
Soil Conservation
The extension service has con-
sistently advocated soil conservation
practices, and its conservation spe-
cialist is employed jointly with the
soil conservation service. County
agents have been active in soil con-
servation district organization and
they have the primary responsible
ity for carrying On conservation
work within districts. Forty-one dis
tricts have been organized since 1910
and others have enlarged their areas
until today 50,326,00 acres are in
these districts.
But long before there were con-
servation districts, extension was
spreading the gospel of soil and mois-
ture conservation through such
practices as strip fallow, proper til

sion's agricultural activities are
those that concern rural homemak-
ers. Through home demonstration
clubs, rural homemakers are kept
abreast of new developments in all
phases of home economics. This year
1885 rural women are members of
400 home demonstration clubs in 35
counties. In % counties rural home
makers have the counsel and assist
ance of county home demonstration
agents.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-10-15

oCEE YOUR county agent has
- not become an axiom among
rural people, both in Montana and
over the nation as a whole, without
a reason.
Working with Montana farmers,
ranchers, homemakers and young
people in helping them to build a
better and more satisfying rural
life has been the role of the agri-
cultural extension service of Mon
tana State college for more than 80
years. During this time its agricul-
tural and home demonstration agents
have come to be regarded as the first
source of information on all sorts of
farming and homemaking problems.
But this is not surprising when
you consider the rather unusual.
place of extension workers in the
agricultural picture.
Part of College
First, since the extension service
is a part of Montana State college,
every county extension office is, in
effect, a branch of the college. Ex-
tension is also the educational arm
of the U. S. department of agri-
culture and interprets-but in no
way administrative programs of
various federal agencies in terms
of local needs and application. And
finally, county agents are. also CO.
operative county employees and as
such are closely geared to local needs
and problems.
The scope of extension activities
is as broad as the diversity of Mon
tana's agriculture and it would in
deed take a much longer story than
this to recount them in detail. How
ever, a few samples will serve to
illustrate some of the more out
standing achievements of rural peo-
pie with the guidance and assistance
of the extension service.
Applying Research Findings
One of extensions chief respon
sibilities is to give rural people tn,
results of the research work of tn
Montana agricultural experimen
station and the U. S. department c
agriculture in a way that they ma
be put to practical use. An outstanc
ing example of this is Montana
crop standardization program. A
rapidly as new crop varieties hay
been developed to meet the particl
lar climatic and soil conditions of Il
state they have been made availab
to farmers. With the Montana Sc

All Club Work

But of all its activities, extension
is probably best known for its All
club work. This rural youth organ
ization has captured the interest and
ban people alike and it is univer-
sally recognized as of the most
influential factors for the develop
ment of character and leadership
among young people. More than
$500 rural boys and girls in Mon
tana are members of All clubs where
they are learning "by doing" how
to become better farmers, home
makers and responsible citizens.
Helping guide Montana's All clubs
are 1854 adult local volunteer lead
ers who give freely of their time
and talents to this rural youth or
%ganization. 1t is significant that at
the 1913 State All Club congress
two of these adult leaders were
signally honored for their 80 years
of service. Others have been lead
ers for Is and 20 years and many
have engaged in club work for five
or more years.
For the fiscal year 1947-48 state
funds accounted for only % per-
cent of the Montana extension
budget, county funds SO percent
Gall county funds are expended with
in the county,, and the remaining
Al percent comes from the federal
government.

Since nearly one-fourth of the
state extension budget m from
state funds, referendum measures No.

Montana people Nov. 2 are of i'm
