K|MMONS SPEAKS ON
'49 BEET PROSPECTS

Farm people of the Laurel
area heard a discussion of the
years prospects for sugar beets
by R. l.. Kimmons, manager of
the Billings factory of the Great
Western Sugar company, when
he spoke at a meeting here
Thursday evening of last week
at the Odd Fellows hall. The
sugar act of last year was eff
fectively operated to the salts
faction of growers, and instead
of $3.50 per ton for beets, as
predicted by some when the sea-
son was starting last spring, the
growers of the 1913 crop have
already received more than $13,
with prospects good for at least
another 81 in final payments.
With declines already in effect
for several crops, of which pota-
toes, beans and some of the
grains are examples, it is wise
for farmers who are engaged in
general agriculture to study the
situation and determine what
place and to what extent sugar
beets fit into their present years
program and the future, Kim
mons said.
After reviewing how we'll the
federal sugar act served in it's
past year of operation, the de-
clines suffered by some other
crops and the possibility that
federal support of prices may
have to give way to curtailments
of acreages, Kimmons went on to
say that the United States has
never produced enough sugar to
meet its needs and probably
never will. Imports from other
producing areas continue to be

IRRIGATION WATER
IS SAID ASSURED
Survey Reveals Main Yellow
stones Volume Will Be
Like Last Years

Bozeman, March 16.-Farmers
in Montana's irrigated areas can
look for ample supplies of irri-
cation water during the 1949
season, it is indicated on the basis
of March l snow measurements
taken on the watersheds Of the
major rivers of the state.
This prediction was made here
in a joint report by Ashton Codd,
hyraulic engineer for the irriga-
ton division of the soil conserva-
ton service, and o. w. Monson,
head of the rural engineering de-
partment. at the Montana agri-
cultural experiment station.
The report points out that
March l measurements on snow
courses on the principal water
sheds indicate that there is ap-
proximately 100 per cent of aver
age water content in the snow
for this season In general
there is a greater percentage of
snow at elevations below $500
feet than at higher elevations and
this condition indicates an early
runoff.
The main stem of the Yellow
stone river will supply about the
same volume of water as last
season, but the timing of the
peak flows will vary considerably
because of the high percentage
Of water in the snow cover at
low elevations. The jefferson,
Madison and Gallatin rivers will
produce a good supply of water.
The upper Columbia river basin
n western Montana has an ex-
,remely heavy now pack and Of
'ers a flood threat should there
Je unusually warm weather ac-
,ompanied by rain. Elsewhere in
he state the flood hazard has
considerably with the
'educed rate of melting late in
February.

The Laurel Locomotives finish
ed their playing for the year last
Saturday evening to wind up in
third place in the Southern Di-
visional tournament, and a sea-
sons record of % wins and 10
losses. On the basis of sea-
sons play the Laurel quint was
rated the number two class B
club in the state on a power
rating released by the United
Press earlier in the week. Plenty
wood got the nod over Laurel
and like Laurel was ousted from
further play in the divisional
tournament for the Eastern
schools. Plentywood had drop
ped but three games during the
year. Although many clubs had
a better percentage of wins than
the local club, the Locomotives
played one of the toughest sched-
ules in B circles in the state and
including a clean sweep of four
class A games. A double win over
the Miles City Cowboys prob
ably influenced the ratings.
One of the wins by % points
was particularly impressive since
the Cowboys finished second in
the class A divisional meet.
There are almost $50 B teams
that compete for state honors in
Montana. Hardin ranked three
and Billings Central drew fourth
in the top 20 teams.
The Locomotives finished their
play after dropping a hard luck
game in the semi-finals to Har-
din and then made a gallant
fight for second only to have
their chances blasted as Hardin
dropped the championship game
to the Central Rams. Statistics
kept on all teams during the
tournament showed the Locomo-
tives ahead of the field in almost
every department. Their offense
