Sugar Processing
Campaign Ends
After S4.b Days

After 84.6 days of Slicing OPP
erationS, the beet end at Holly
Sugar corporations Hardin
factory took IN the last beet of
this yar,S crop at $40 a.. m.
Saturday, Dec. "a, according to
word from Ira Croghan, factory
superintendent. I
Croghan said the campaign
was one of the most success
full ever completed in this dis
trict. With ideal weather,
mechanical harVeSterS worked
well and the beets were the
cleanest in several years.
A total of 152,102 tons of
beetS went through the mill this
season, which is an increase of
approximately 10000 tons over
last year. Beets purchased by
the corporation totaled 164,435
tons.
Although slicing is complete
and crews have been reduced,
a few were kept on for clean
up work and to aid in the pro-
cessing of 600 tons of molaSses
which is being run through the
ion exchange unit of the fac
tory.
Processing of the molasseS is
a continuation of an experiment
tai run tried at the local fac
tory last summer. The project is
being carried out to determine
the effectiveness of cooler
weather in the processing oper-
ations. The 600 ton run is ex-
pected to be completed this
week end.
Factory officials extended
their thanks to employees and
farmers for their cooperation in
making the campaign success
full.

Bulldogs Toheet
Sheridan Quinf
Tomorrow Night

Hardin high school will meet
the Sheridan, Wyo. quint on the
local basketball court tomor-
row (Friday) night.
The two teams have been ev-
emily matched in the past few
years and the game should
prove interesting If scores of
past years can be considered an
indication. The preliminary,
scheduled for 7:30 p. m. will be
between the Hardin Boosters and
the Bison Bar of Sheridan.
In a game at Big Timber last
wednesday, night, the Bull
dogs won from the Sweet Grass
county quint by a score of SO
to 80. Details of the game were
not available this morning. The
win evens the score at two wins
and two losses for the Bulldogs
in conference play.
On Thursday, Jan 5, Hardin
will meet Anaconda Central on
the local NAPLES in a confer
ence tussle. The Bulldogs will
be seeking revenge for a 52-37
loss to Central at Anaconda on
December Is. Other games next
week end include one with Col
! umbus at Columbus January G

Decrease Is Noted
In County
School Taxes

Property taxes for school sup
port in Big Horn county have
decreased SO percent this year
according to a study completed
by the Montana Taxpayers
Association. The estimated total
this year amounts to $4,000
while the sum levied in 1913
was $329,970.
Big Horn county is, thus, one
of fourteen counties which re-
corded a decrease in school
taxes. Sheridan county, where
school taxes went down $4,000
recorded the sharpest decrease.
Forty-tWo countries reported in
creases with the heaviest being
in Glacier county. The increase
there amounted to more han
$128, 900, or thirty-eight percent
over the 1913 amount.
On a statewide basis the
survey reveals that Montana'S
new school finance law, but
tressed by a $2,300.000 increase
in state aid, has slowed down
but has not halted the pro
nounced upward trend in school
property taxes. The preliminary
total for 1949 is listed at $19,-
100000. This is $1,300,000 above
the 1913 levy and is more than
double the total only five years
ago (1944) when the amount
was 1885 TIT.
The principal reasons for the
tax increase over the state was
said to be the general a9option
of higher operating Sudgets
and increased OUTLAWS for new
construction. In many cases an
increase in budgets has not only
absorbed all the additional
state aid to which districts en-
titled but has also required
heavier local tax support.
The use of existing cash ball
ances to establish higher re-
serves and to build un deferred
maintenance funds instead of to
reduce property taxes was also
noted. Additional factors caus-
ing hipharg taxes this wear in
clude HIGHER interest and sink
ing fund payments and hipher
levies for the teachers retire
ment system and for transpor-
tation.

OF the Rivers

We believe A. G.. Slattery of
Hardin has some sort of record
Ior having a new car damaged.
Slim" bought a new 1850
Ford last Saturday, and Sun
DAY, with Just two miles on the
Speedometer, the car became in
volved in a collision which re-
suited in quite extensive dam
age Slattery also had to have
some broken ribs tapped up. The
other car involved in the col
hSion-a 1850 Ford, also dam
aged, owned by Don Murdoch.
And speaking of records, Pr
nochle fans might be interest
ed to know that a Hardinite
recently held two consecutive
hands with $500 trump.
Ted Herbel hit the jackpot
one evening recently when he
and Mrs. Herbel were enter
tanning Mr. and Mrs. Leo Metz
ker at a Pinochle party. He
repeatedly was dealt the two
hands in successive deals, the
first in clubs and the second in
spades. Needless to saw, his ad-
versaries gave up in disgust.
We don't know what the
mathematical chances of hold
ing 1900 trump in Pinochle
are, but to hold two consecu-
tive hands must be cracking
monStrouss odds. All the years
we have played Pinochle, we've
never seen a 1900 trump hand
dealt, but maybe we're Just
unlucky at cards.

Brannan Plan May
Get Trial Run

WASHINGTON = Secretary of
Agriculture Charles F. Brannan may
get some of his new farm program
this year, but the odds appear to
be against congress ~enacting all of it.
Sentiment among members of
The congressional agriculture
committees who will handle the
plan is swinging in favor of CIV
ing the proposed new price sup-
port system a trial run" with
hogs and maybe eggs. too.
Representative Harold D. Cooley
of North Carolina, chairman of the
house agriculture committee, thinks
maybe the program should be given
a try-out with hogs. Eggs r
brought into the picture by the fact
that USDA has taken some rough
shedding in the past because of egg
purchases. Whole carloads have
spoiled with a resultant unpleasant
political odor.
If applied to hogs, or eggs, or
both, the government would stay
out of the market and permit prices
to bring what they could in the
open market.
If these prices averaged less than
a predetermined Income standard"
producers would receive a govern
ment subsidy to cover the differ
ence.
There has been no estimate at
this writing whether such a pro-
gram would cost the government
more in subsidies than it would cost
to enter the market and buy hogs
to bolster prices, as it would do I'M
der the present support system.
But advocates of the trial run"
think they have a selling argument
by promising the producer an Sin
come standard" return for his hogs
or eggs and at the same time hold
ing the promise of lower pork and
egg prices to consumers.
And, they further contend, there
would be no storage headaches.

. When you use a Case Model WAC" you get in
a light 2-plow tractor the eager performance and
ENDURANCE that you would expect from big
ger, more costly tractors. You get a heavy-duty
engine, Case-built to run year after year with little

power at moderate piston speed, pulls still stronger
when slowed down. This ~1ugging'' ability saves
you a lot of gear shifting.
When you cultivate with the WAC" the main
gangs are ahead of you, easy to watch and quick
to go where you steer. Only the middle sweeps are
behind, to pillow out the wheel tracks. With "quick-
dodge" Case steering you can go fast, yet cultivate
close and clean. At the end of the row you touch
the hydraulic control and the gangs come up. They
