Further Drop Noted
In Cadet EnrolIments
AT White High School!

Enrolment in the High School
Cadet Corps in the white schools
mas taken another substantial drop,
school officials reported today.
Norman j. Nelson, assistant super
intendent in charge of high schools.
said preliminary reports of the num-
Der of boys who had signed up with
the 66-year-old cadet corps this fall
totaled only $50 in the 10 white
high schools. This is decrease of
322 from the 852 cadets these schools
had last year, he added.
Bell Vocational High School re-
ported only II boys had signed for
the cadets. Other schools with low
enrollments were Coolidge, with %,
and Mckinley, with 29
Prompted Warning.
It was the low enrolment in the
cadets that prompted Mai. Gen.
Hobart r. Gay, commanding officer
of the Military District of Wash
ington, to warn the Board of Educa-
ton that Army support may be
withdrawn from six of the high
schools. He named Eastern, Cool
idge. Roosevelt, Mckinley. Bell Vo-
cational and Chamberlain Voca-
tional as the delinquent schools.
The Army maintained that the
cadet corps in the six schools was
below the minimum enrolment of
100 required If the Army is to furnish
rifles.
The Army figures on enrolment
were taken on March l and differ
Slightly from enrolment figures for
last school year released by Mr.
Nelson today. Mr.. Nelson's figures
on enrolment last school year were
taken in October, 1947, during the
first semester.
Low for Several Years.
Although some of the other white
high schools inspected in March had
enrollments slightly below 100 in
the cadets, Gen. Gay said they were
not added to the list of six to be
dropped because they had main
tanned sufficient enrolment in prior
years. The six delinquents have had
low enrolment for several years, he
added.
Mr.. Nelson said preliminary en-
rollment figures gathered yesterday
after the organizational meetings of
the cadets in the schools were:
Anacostia, 81, as compared to 81
last year; Central, 81, as compared
to Sc; Coolidge, %, as compared to
60; Eastern, so, as compared to 76;
Mckinley, 20. as compared to 93;
Roosevelt, l04, as compared to 80;
Western, 81, as compared to l8l, and
Wilson, u, as compared to IS. Bell
Vocational, II, as compared to "a
and Chamberlain Vocational, Is, as
compared to 81.
Roosevelt High School, conse-
quently, was the only school report
ing an increase in the number OF
| cadets.
CoIored Schools Above Minimum.
Although figures were not COM
pleted for the cadets in the colorec
high schools, indications were that
enrolment would be at least what
it was last year. The Army has nc
complaint against the colored cadets
who have been we'll above the min.
imum enrolment
Enrollments last year were: Car
dozo, 1856; Dunbar, 25S; Armstrong
3ls, and Phelps Vocational, 1913.
Gen. Gay said in his letter to the
School Board that the agreement
called for a minimum enrolment
of 1000 cadets in the white higf
schools and 625 in the colored higf
schools. If the Army withdrew 1T
support, the boys would have to drill
with wooden rifles.

Montana-W Wyoming Weather Forecast
Sept. 1 to IS
By OSCAR L. M-OLDENHAUER

WARN DAYS and fairly dry weather is the predominant outlook
w for the next two weeks in Montana and northern Wyoming
Storm causes, rainfall and storm activity are OF the decline for Sep
TENDER, favoring a greater number of clear, sunny days and com
paratvely high day temperatures.
The amount of wet, cloudy weather in a month is about as big 4
factor as the prevailing wind directon-north or south-in determin-
the time we can expect moderately warm days despite the frequent
cool air movements into this area. Night temperatures, however, may
be comparatively low most of the time.
The first week of September is indicated to be coolest and the most
favorable period for precipitation which may occur several days
but in light quantity. There is also a possibility of light frost in the
higher elevations of this are around Sept :. This forecast period as
a whole should be quite favorable for harvesting but may Zee a de-
fciency in moisture for pastures, ranges and fall blowing
Weather Changes
The period begins with rising temperatures, followed by a disturb
ance to move eastward across this area from the LIST to Sd. This is a
favorable period for light precipitation and a few days of showers,
wet weather, and lower neutrality-suspicious. east of the divide
Moderate temperatures will be replaced by unsettled weather and
a disturbance around the 9Th. Light or scattered showers are probable
in connection with a day or two of cool weather, but a trend to warmer,
drier weather is in store for this area through the 18th.
Unsettled weather about the 18th will be followed by a low-pressure
disturbance in the Montana Wyoming area from the 18th to 10th.

Sweet Clover and Sheep


Sweet clover is an excellent
pasture for sheep as well as all
other stock, according to G. c.
Wooster, Kalispell. There is no
more danger from bloat in p~astur-
ing sheep on sweet clover pasture
than on Kentucky bluegrass. The
straw also makes fine winter
sheep feed after threshing out the
seed.
Wool Situation
With the official census figures
showing a loss of more than IT,
900 1000 head of sheep during the
period from 1910 to 1920, western
woolgrowers continue to demand
adequate tariff protection and
reasonable freight rates. Benefits
to the growers of the emergency
tariff which went into effect in
May were nullified by the impor-
tation of more than 200, 1000, 900
pounds of wool up to June 1.
Dairy Record
Grace Koningen, a purebred
Holstein cow bred and owned by
Montana State college, is again
making a milking record. This
COW last year produced 25,125.5
pounds of milk and 791.17 pounds
of butterfat. This COW is now
making 100 pounds of milk per
day and a new record is expected.
Markets
No. l dark northern wheat at
Minneapolis was quoted at

Modern Homes
Montana has 2,013 farms
equipped with either gas or cleo
trio lighting systems and BOSS
farm houses have the advantage
of piped water. These figures
were compiled on the basis of
USDA census figures for the ST.
SIT farms in Montana.
County Agents
County agents + now en-
ployed in &c Montana counties,
according to J. c. Taylor, acting
leader of county agents.
Diversified Farming
Diversified farming practices
including rotations, poultry and
livestock are gaining favor par
ticularly in the face of the recent
unsuccessful attempts of dry land
wheat farmers in their gamble on
rain. The farmers who have not
put all their eggs in one basket
are the ones who have weathered
the storm of the last four years.
Irrigated Potatoes
Better potatoes can be grown
under irrigation than on dry land,
according to Hugh G.. Aitken,
Helena. Good seed properly
treated with corrosive sublimate
is also essential. The potatoes
should be well hilled twice before
the first irrigation and twice after.
Potatoes of greater size and larger
yields can be raised on irrigated
land and they will be Just ~
mea1y and firm as those from dry
land

On July 1 farm wage rates hit a
new all-time high, according to the
bureau of agricultural economics.
The national index at that date was
431 on the base period 1904 and
Z percent over a year ago. Daily,
without board, the scale averaged

peak after World war l.

dependents, regardless of their oc-
equations.
Although farm workers are eligi-
BILE for deferments, this does not
mean they will not have to register.
Everyone between 18 through Is,
except those already in the armed
forces, must register. The total num-
Der is about nine and one-half
million.
Registration begins Aug. 80 and
continues through Sept. Is. The Is

that is, those who are 25 will regis
ter the first day, the 2~4-year-olds
the next two days, and on down I'M
til Sept. Is when the 1~8-year-olds
will finish up two days of regis
tering.
PARTY FARM PLANKS
The dividing line between the
Democrats and Republicans on
farm issues will be marked
when Candidate Harry S. Tru-
man for the Democrats. and
Candidate Thomas E. Dewey for
the Republicans. make their
campaign speeches and tell how
they intend 10 carry out their
parties respective platform
pledges.
On most major farm issues, the
two major political organizations
enter the presidential campaign
more or less in agreement on broad
detectives.
The Democrats are pledged to a
permanent system of flexible price
supports and SC are the Republicans.
In fact, the 1913 congress passed and
President Truman signed a long
range flexible price system which
goes into effect Jan. 1, 1950-wen
after the next president is inaugu-
rated in January, 1949.
Both parties are pledged to con
tinue soil conservation; both parties
favor a better system of a%gricul-
tural credit; both parties favor Sin
tensified research" to find new uses
for farm products; both parties are
for rural identification, and both
parties look with approval on farm
er co-operatives.
FARMERS TAKE PAY CUT
There has been very little said
about If. but the American
farmer has actually taken a
reduction in his pay"
While farmers took in four per-
cent more cash during the first
seven months of this year than they
did during the comparable period a
year ago, they had less net income
after s~ubtracting higher production
costs.
Farmers received a total of 1874
billion dollars from marketings dur
ing January through July, but the
production prices they paid aver
aged 10 percent higher than in the
whole of 1947.
These costs were 16 percent high
er than the prices paid during the
first half of 1947.
Farmers therefore comprise one
faction in the nations economy who
have taken a "pay" decrease thi:
year.

fronted the administration with a
major policy decision.
Frankly. the government is
fearful that the grain supply
will have the effect of driving
prices down to support levels
possibly meaning that millions
of bushels will have TO be put
out In loans.
The unknown factor is how much
should or will be exported.
DR.. Dennis A. Fitzgerald, chief of
the economic cooperation admins
tration's food division, thinks that
in view of the large crop exports
should be increased beyond this
years record total.
On the other hand, Secretary of
Commerce Charles Sawyer mem
Der of the cabinet food committee
believes exports should be reduced
and the large grain crop be used to
lower food prices.
What he meant was that more
grain should be fed in this country
to produce meat, milk and poultry
products.
The question is n to be an
swered at the highest level
DR.. Fitzgerald contends that with
&ho rooorJ oraip oror +baro will he
enough to increase exports to Eu-
rope and at the same time leave a
plentiful home supply at fair prices.
Secretary Sawyer takes the view
point that home consumption of
grain should be increased and Eu-
ropean aid placed on a recovery
rather than relief basis.
Prospects of improved crops in
Europe, he says, should permit a
substantially reduced level of wheat
exports.
DRAFT ExEMPTS FARMERS
So long as the strength of the
armed forces remains at IFS
present limit. few farm work
ers-if any at all-are expected
TO be drafted under the selective
service regulations promulgated
by President Truman.
The administration realizes tha-
the mar behind the plow producing
food and other essential goods il
just a important to the defense anC
welfare of the country as training
to be a gun-toting soldier.
So for the present, farm worker,
or men engaged in agricultural &C
equations will be eligible for defer
ment by their draft boards.
The deferment will be for on
year or less, and may be change,
by the president or local draf
boards if farm workers change thei
jobs and enter nonessential activity
There also is provision for exten
sion of deferments as long as a
agricultural worker remains on tn
farm.
The farm deferments are far MOI
liberal than they We're during Worl
war 2, when the drafting of fari
labor often caused hardships j
keeping farm production at the hig
pace that was necessary.
For this peacetime draft, a speci;
classification has been set up fc
