Discuss Need For
Experiment Station

This section of Montana needs an
agricultural experiment station, re-
ports the Lincoln County Finance
Committee Our climate and our
soils differ from the rest of the
state. We are too far away from
any present branch experiment sta
ton for them to carry out expert
ments here
The proposed branch agricultural
experiment station will be located
so that it can carry out cooperative
experiments in all counties in this
part of Montana. cooperative ex-
periments will be carried out in this
manner: An agricultural problem
common to an area will be selected
by the local farmers and the Ex-
pertinent Station. A farmer will
then be selected who will cooperate
in conducting the experiment. The
experiment will be under the direct
supervision of the Experiment Sta
ton and will receive personal at

The local Sheriff's office received
a telegram Sunday morning infor-
ming the officials that Clifford Den

Lincoln County for the theft of the
Lloyd Corbett and Harry E. Davis
cars. had been arrested the night
before at Long Beach, Calf. The
message did not state whether or
not Dennis wife, who had accom-
panied the men, was arrested with
the men.
Sheriff Livengood and his deputies
had not heard early yesterday af-
ternoon regarding the condition of
the Davis sedanette, though they
had been expecting word for the
past "a hours. The car carried a
North Dakota license plate when
the party was taken.
Inasmuch as the stolen car belong
ing to Davis has been taken across
several states, it is quite probable
that action will be taken by the
federal government instead of the
party being brought back to face
charges in Montana,
Dennis has a lengthy record, haV-

precipitation The snow began fall
ing Monday after a near ""black"
Christmas and New Years Day. The
fall increased each day, with yes
terday registering the heaviest snow
for the current season todate.
Throughout the storms the tenn
perature has hung around or lust
above the freezing point, and fre-
quent rains have fallen, keeping the
snow from piling too high. A note
of interest is the fact that the II
inches of snow during the past three
days amounted to more than half
of the total snowfall for l947 which
was only 1873 inches. The total
snowfall for the current season as
of 500 D. m. last night was 29.2

member that during the past winter

of 98 inches.
