10000 ACRES SAID
DAMAGED BY FLOOD
Extent Of Crop Loss Not De
termined-Field Crops Else
where Make Rapid Growth

Field crops and native grasses in
Montana made rapid growth with
another week of favorable weather.
The supply of soil moisture is now
generally adequate for dry lands
and irrigation water is plentiful.
Crop planting is nearly completed
and haying has started. Flood
waters have covered approximately
10000 acres of cropland, with losses
undetermined.
General rains and moderate tenn
peratures stimulated vegetative
growth and rapid advancement of
all crops and grasses was noted dur
ing the week. In much of the state
the lateness of the spring season
has largely been overcome by the
fast growth of recent weeks. Ad-
ditional acreage of flax is being
planted in several counties as a re-
suit of the heavy rains, and late
paintings have terminated we'll with
thick stands.
Supplies of top soil moisture are
adequate to keep dry land crops
growing but more rainfall is need
ed in southeastern counties to carry
the crops through to maturity.
Some dry spots are noted in yell
lowstone, Big Horn, Treasure, Rose
bud, Custer and Dawson counties.
Planting of dry land crops is
completed with exception of some
late flax seedlings and sorghums in
northeastern counties and some
grains in Teton county, also potatoes
in the late areas of high elevation.
Wet soils in the Fairfield project
of Teton county have prevented the
planting of some irrigated lands.
First cutting of alfalfa hay is I'M
der way in many counties and will
become more general as soon as
fields dry.
Thinning of sugar beets is now
active in all producing areas. Some
beet growers have used mechanical
thinners. Between 45 and so per
cent of the states acreage is now
thinned. ,
Winter wheat developed rapidly
the week with much of the
acreage now in the boot or heading
Spring wheat, oats and bar
ley are also doing well. Chemical /:
weed killer continues to be applied t
extensively to spring grains. Spray s
ing operations last week were, in
some cases, held up due to rains. /
Ranges generally carry an abun- 6
dance of feed for livestock. v
Flood waters have covered quite
Ar acreage of cropland along the
upper reaches of the Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers and along sew d
eral streams west of the continent
al divide. Cascade county, with f
some $4,000 acres inundated, is ex- S
'ected to suffer the greatest crop n
iamage. Grains and row crops will 8
,e lost where covered with water
or several days. Most of the al a
alta and other hays should with 1
tand the flooding without serious
oss. Actual and complete loss is 2
expected to be determined at a 2
ater date.

groes who requested jim crow
schools would not consider send
ing children there. The mass Of
Negro children in Dayton have
no recourse but to enroll their
children in these dirty buildings.
Several years ago a new school
was promised Ne groes. This was
when the Dayton Development
commission was formed. In re-
turn for a favorable vote on a
new tax and bond issue, a new
school was promised among other
things (street repairs ,etc.). Ever
since the city planning commission
was formed Negroes have been
getting the royal run around. Elk
cuse after excuse has been given
till they have run out of excuses.
Four new schools are being built
and Negroes have been told that
they were more urgently needed.
AS if any section is in more ur-
gent need for a new school than
the ghetto here on the west side.
Before voting for additional tax
%levies, Negroes should consider
what they are goin gto derive
from it. Why should property own
ers continue to vote additional
tax burdens on themselves when
they aren't even deriving any
benefits from the ones they al
ready have?

Will Demonstrate
Voting Machines

The executive committee of the
Montgomery county Republican
association called for a pre-elec-
ton voting machine demonstration.
The call came after committeeman
Don PETER of Miamisburg, esti-
mated that nearly rs per cent Of
the voters are confused on the use
of the machines.
PETER declared that the addi-
ton of the Progressive party's 25
names onto the ballot further
complicated matters. The State
Supreme court ruled that the can
didates Of the progressive party,
Henry Wallace and Glen Taylor,
did not meet the requirements to
get their names on the ballot, but
the electors did. There are 25
electors for Wallace. Their names
will go on the ballot and they all
must be voted for in order to get
one vote for Wallace.
The COP executive committee
requested that voting machines be
set up in factories and other large
business establishments, with in
structors to teach the voters how
to use the machines.
The committee voted to ask
Governor Warren, vice presiden-
tial candidate of the Republican
party, to speak here during the
campaign. If Warren cannot ap-
pear then Harold Stassen will be
asked. Stassen was here several
months ago during the primary
campaign. He was defeated by
Dewey and has since accepted the
post of president Of Pennsylvania
university.

The workers here are Negroes

1c for every bucket of cherries
they pick.
Other cherry picking camps do
not limit their help to Negroes.
