Young Plum Tree
Heavy With Fruit
Excites Curiosity

j. P. Moore, retired railroad
roundhouse foreman, has a young
plum tree in the back yard of
his e, 513 First avenue,
which excites the curiosity of
those who see it. The green
half-grown fruit, instead of being
evenly spaced at intervals along
the tree branches, is in closely
packed large clusters attached to
slender twigs as well as to the
limbs. Before reaching matur-
ity the fruit will undoubtedly
bend the limbs to the ground.
The tree, now in it's fifth year,
first bore fruit two years ago
and produced only a few plums,
perhaps a gallon, widely spaced.
The fruit was delicious, Moore
says. Last year it bore nothing.
Moore expects to prop or tie
up the branches to prevent them
from splitting off the trunk be-
cause of their weight. They are
already beginning to sag.

ASK FARMERS FOR
ITEMS TO EXHIBIT

A booth representing the Lau-
rel area at the forthcoming Mid
land Empire fair was further
discussed Thursday evening at a
meeting of the Laurel CONNER
cial club at which several inter-
ested farmers were guests. The
invitation of the fair board for
Laurel to arrange a booth was
accepted several weeks ago by
the Commercial club on recon-
mendation of a committee who
had surveyed the possibilities.
DR.. d. A. Nottingham, presi-
dent of the club, said Thursday
evening that the two Laurel
garden clubs had promised assist
ance and that the assistance OF
farmers was also needed. Mem
bers of the original committee
are Harold Richardson, Paul
Roman, DR.. r. j. Rosselot, B.
B. Hageman and DR.. Noting
ham. Roman, enc of the farmer
m e m bers of the committee,
stressed during the meeting that
cooperation would be necessary.
DR.. Nottingham enumerated the
prizes that are possible to win
by the booth as a unit and by
the exhibitors as individuals.
The opinion seemed to be that
for the booth to be we'll balanced
and really representative it
should contain displays of grains,
grasses, crops such as
.eets and beans, garden pro-
fruits and flowers.
President Nottingham announc-
ed that B. B Hageman has set
aside a room in his elevator
where grains and grasses may
be stored before the fair. Farm
ers are asked to contribute large
samples of their products, from
which selections will be made
Tor the actual displays.
The booth will be set up the
Sunday before the fair opens.
Perishables, such as fruits and
;ome vegetables, may be brought
the elevator Sunday for trans
'er Monday, the opening day, for
Inclusion in the exhibit.
Charles Barney, county COM
missioner, volunteered to obtain
copies of the pamph-
cts containing rules and prize
lists, for the benefit of those
Who may wish additional infor-

VETERANS TO RECEIVE.
INSURANCE DIVIDENDS.

Payment of a $4,000, 000, 900
special National Service Life in
surance dividend on approximate
ly 100000 policies has been
announced by the veterans adj
ministration. About 10000, 900
veterans who took out insurance
during World wal IL will be
eligible to receive the dividend.
The VA stated that it hoped
distribution of the checks could
be started by Jan. 1850, and be
substantially completed during
the first half of 1850. Amounts
individual veterans will receive
are not yet known, as individual
calculations have not been COM
pleted.
Generally, every veteran who
took out NSLI and kept it in
force three months or more will
be eligible for the dividend. In
cases where policy holders have
died, the beneficiary of the po-
Icy, if the policy was in force,
or to those shown to be entitled
in case the insurance lapsed, will
receive the payment. J
The VA strongly emphasized
that veterans should not write
about their dividend, because let
tiers will only cause the payment
to be delayed. Special applica-
ton blanks are being prepared
and it is expected they will be
available some time in August
in every ~postoffice, veterans
service organizations and VA Of
fees.

DROUGHT W|OENS;
GRAINS NEED RAIN
Central Section Fares Bet
ter Than East and North;
StOckmen Reduce Herds

Montana's drought area wild
ened during the week and heavy
crop loss in critical localities is
expected unless abundant rains
come soon. Spring grains show
premature development and much
of it requires additional moisture
for filling. Some prepared seed
beds have not been planted to
late crops because of dryness,
and considerable acreage seeded
t0 grains may be abandoned. The
hay crop is light and many
ranges will fail to produce ade-
quate feed for fall and winter
grazing.
A shortage of soil moisture
which has prevailed in eastern
and northern portions for sever
al weeks, is now apparent in
northwestern counties and in
spotted parts of central and
south central counties. Moisture
is currently adequate in the cent
raj basin area and adjoining
areas to the south and southwest,
but elsewhere most dry land
crops are burning. Spring plant
ed grains on summer fallow land
IN the drought area may produce
light to average crops, but most
grains planted on land cropped
last year show little promise.
More than half of the spring
wheat is now headed and many
fields of barley are beginning to
ripen. A large part of the whit
er wheat is located in the central
portions of the state where mois-
ture conditions are better, conse-
quently fair to average yields
are expected. Exceptions are
noted in Pondera, Teton and Cho-
teau counties on the north, and
Big Horn county on the south,
where light yield is in prospect.
Farmers in the eastern portion
of the state may not plant the
intended acreage to corn because
of insufficient moisture for seed
termination. Early corn plant
ings terminated fairly well but
are growing slowly. This crop
would respond to good rainfall
and produce average yields were
It to have favorable weather dur
ing the remainder of the season.
First cutting of hay is virtual
ly complete in much of the state
the western portion of
nigh elevation. Irrigated alfalfa
and clover and timothy yields are
fair to good and the hay is ,
generally of high quality. Hay ,
from non-irri gated ,
acreage is light and most of the {
Wild hay cuttings will be much
smaller than last year. A larger
han usual acreage of grain is E
,eing cut for hay.
Potatoes, beans, alfalfa and
vegetable gardens suffered frost
in southwestern locali- 7
les during the week. Many of S
he potatoes set back a c
week or 10 days. Dry beans in
he southern part of Carbon 7
ounty were killed and alfalfa
