.Poscogouio Garden Club Hears Expert
Talk On Comedies And AzoIeo S

The first meeting of the Pasca-
goula Garden club for l948 was
auspiciously begun by a talk by
j. S. Bradford, garden expert of
Ocean Springs, who gave an ex-
tremely helpful talk on camellias
and azaleas.
Mr.. Bradford told his hearers
to plant camellias a definite three
inches above ground, explaining
that the common fault is to plant
too low in this coast country. He
also advised against mulching
with live oak leaves as these have
a tendency to pack and act like
shingles in throwing the water off
the plant thus leaving it too dry.
Better to mulch with pine needles
stated Mr.. Bradford. Both camel
liza and azalea plants should be
fed January Is, advised the
speaker.
An excellent report on the
Junior Garden Club Christmas
party was given by Mrs. o. V.
Streed, one of the leaders of the
younger organization, which is
sponsored by the adult club.
A letter from the Biloxi Gar
den club was read by the presi-
dent of the Pascagoula club, Mrs.
Charles w. Smith. 1t was in
the form of an invitation to at
tend the meeting of the Missis-
sippi Gulf Coast Council of Gar
Gen Clubs in Biloxi February G
at which all the garden clubs OF
that city will be hostesses.
The entrance prizes given at
each meeting went to Mrs. E. B.
Dunten and Mrs. A. F. Dantzler.
A refreshment course was serv-
ed by the h~ostesses Mesdames T.
c. Fullilove. c. E. Clark, H. w

Montana Historical Sketches
Boone Helm
By ANNA NICKOL

AS MUCH THE OBVIOUS ruffian
as Plummer was the ostensible gen.
tleman, Boone Helm made no effort
to conceal the beginning of his Grim
inal career "a murder in frontier
Missouri. On the contrary, far from
being ashamed of his past, he was
known to boast of his killings and
of cannibalism, several instances of
which have been recorded.
In 1848 he was hardly different
from other young frontiersmen. Per
haps he drank more heavily, but it
was an era of heavy drinking.
He was married that year to a re-
spected young woman who bore him
a daughter. But she soon left him,
taking the child with her because of
his frequent sprees and his brutality
at such times.

Committed TO Asylum

Committed TO Asylum
After that he was regarded as a
troublesome character, but when he
murdered Littlebury Shoot without
any real ~provocation, he was exam
med by a sanity board and COM
mitted to an asylum.
His was a peculiar case, for he
certainly was not insane in the ac-
cepted sense of the term. He was
capable of a perfectly logical Sc
quence of thought but seemed en-
tirely to lack a sense of responsibility
toward his fellow beings.
His stay in the mental institution
was short. With a cunning he sell
dom afterward bothered to practice,
he won the confidence of his keeper,
and through a ruse which was made
to appear a whim of the harmlessly
unbalanced, he made his escape.
Fugitives from the law had a way
of turning up in the mining camps,
Helm was next heard of in Cali
fornia.
There is a story of one of his at
tempts at a robbery, which, while
seeming a bit highly colored to be
regarded. as accurate history, proves,
even when accepted only in part,
that Helm was lacking in any in
stinct of gratitude.
He was wandering through the
mountains, endorsed, lost, and peril
ously near starvation, when he wa
rescued by a nan who was ranging
stock in the hills out of reach of
civilization. The rancher fed and
clothed him and, when Helm was
again ready to venture out, provided
him with an outfit, including a
horse.
Turns on Benefactor
Helm Immediately looked up a
pair of ~confederates as depraved as
himself and returned to murder his
benefactor and drive the cattle to
the nearest market. The rancher,
forewarned, was unable to defend
himself from his murderous ne
time guest.
There are incidents concerning
Helm which prove that he ranged
restlessly from Sacramento valley to
Alaska, from the Pacific to the east
slope of the Rockies; and always his
behavior was vicious.
He was, sometime before his death
by vigilante justice, threatened by
hanging. Sentence was about to be
passed On him by a miners court
and he escaped death only through
the i~ntercession of his brother, =;
prospector known as Old Tex.
This brother had been successful
in his search for gold, and frank.
bribed the court to obtain Boone
release. After he had secured it, h
tried to persuade Helm to live les
dangerously, or, if he must fight, t
accept a horse and provisions for tn

than the better grades at that time.
Feeder calves require a longer
feeding period than older cattle and,
therefore, involve risk of greater
change in the general level of cat
tie prices. But, the investment per
head is less and a given drop in cat
tie prices would mean a smaller
shrinkage in value. Also, they can
be finished on a margin
between purchase and selling price
than older cattle.
If prices decline sharply, it may
be possible to buy advantageously
partly finished cattle of good quail
ity in late winter or spring to be
fattened for the late summer or early
fall market next year. But, it should
be borne in mind that fat cattle
prices in September in the year fol-
lowing harvest of a big corr crop
tend to be considerably lower than
in the year after a small crop.
While corn will be abundant, car
rying cattle into extremely long
feeds which lead to COLBY finish
should be avoided.

A card from Mary Giles, Yellow
stone Purebred Sheep Breeders as
ISOLATION secretary - no sale this
year, plans being Cancelled due to
lack of entries. This may well be an
indication that the demand for
breeding stock is already exceeding
the supply in restocking the depleted
sheep bands of the area.
What it Means
Four billion for the Missouri basin
development, with a reported $780,
100000 of this to be used in Montana
all to be used within the coming
six years. Have you any idea what
this tremendous sum of money being
spent will mean to the state? First
off it may mean more labor short
ages on the farm, but later we can
see additional thousands of acres of
land, now dry, sub-marginal, almost
waste, turned into veritable para
discs of rich productive land. More
beets, more cereal grains, po-
tatoes and hay and corn-but that
is but the first round-more cattle
on ranges, because they will be
there for a shorter season, for they
will go in the early fall to the thou
sands of huge feed lots, more sheep
on the same basis, more hogs to fol-
low the cattle in the feed lots-still
not the end of the round, for this
starts a chain of more men and fam
lilies to care for the agricultural in
dustry, then more service institu-
tons, grocery stores, movies, depart
ment stores, machinery dealers, and
the like, this means more rail and
truck and air transportation-more
transportation and freight volume
lower rates. Lower rates brings in
more industries and another round
is started. The song titled "To Each
His own" can well be changed "To
the West It's Own" The picture of
things to come in all agriculture and
industry is so huge, so fascinating, SO
brilliant that we cannot comprehend
it potentialities.

Hold Good Eve Lambs
for State FlOcks

MONTANA SHEEPMEN are
urged by E. P. circuit, extension
livestock specialist at Montana State
college, not to market their good
whitefaced eve lambs, because they
are badly needed for replacement
purposes in Montana flocks.
Pointing out that Montana's lamb
crop this year was the smallest on
record and that eve numbers have
dropped off 40 percent in the last
seven years, circuit declared that mo
well bred, well grown, whitefaced
W lambs should go to market. We
need them all in Montana"
There has been a strong demand
all season for good replacement year
lngs and wv lambs, the specialist
added, and there is a world shortage
of fine wool which will continue for
several years.
Marketing of Montana lambs will
begin in about a week, circuit said,
and the first to be shipped will be
early dropped mountain lambs of
which a high percentage will be
slaughter fat.
Sheepmen who want help in grad
ing or culling their lambs or older
ewes should write circuit in care of
the Montana extension service, Mon
tana State college, Bozeman.
