was referred to the water com-
mittee for decision. Mrs. l.. K.
Parke, Mrs. H. E. Ingraham, Mrs.
Burl Huges, and Mrs. Roy Rose
berry requested the installation
of a stop sign at the intersection
of Fifth avenue and Fourth
street, which was referred to the
street and alley committee for
investigation and report.
DR.. d. A. Nottingham, presi-
dent of the Laurel Commercial
club, asked the council for as
surance that the city would aid
in the coming summers youth
program. He said that because
of the rising cost of the pro-
gram, this would be the last
year the Commercial club would
be able to participate. The coun-
Gil subscribed $500, to be drawn
from time to time from the
park fund, but will not furnish
supplies. In recent years the
school district and CONNER
cial club have cooperated in fl
nancing the youth program.
DR.. Nottingham also asked
permission to bring a carnival to
town for May 27, % and 29,
includes the dates of the
Saddle clubs two-day rodeo. 1t
was suggested that the license
fee might be refunded to the
Saddle club if it does its own
policing.
The city clerk, Miss Tillie

RAINS Of WEEK
BREAK DROUGHT,
BOLSTER CROPS
Spring Planting Of Wheat,
Barley, Oats, Beets Is
Nearly Completed

Beneficial general rains here
ard elsewhere throughout most
of Montana in the past week
relieved a drought condition and
heightened the prospects for
grain crops on unirrigated lands.
The moisture was sufficient to
insure good termination of
spring planted grain, and ranges
and pastures were improved. The
rains, some light and others pro-
tracted, will not correct the
spotted condition of grain fields
where seed did not sprout earlier
or was winter-killed.
The supply of soil moisture is
still short in a few of the east
ern Montana areas.
Spring wheat, barley, oats and
sugar beet paintings are virtu-
ally finished, with farmers ex-
pecting to seed the remainder of
their corn and flax as rapidly as
possible. More than 60 per cent
of the potato crop has been
planted in many counties, though
Flathead, one of the largest
producers of potatoes in the
state, has planted only 80 per
cent of its crop. Some beans
have been planted in Carbon
county, with the remainder to be
put in as soon as conditions
permit.
Alfalfa has improved during
the past two weeks, though the
hay crop is expected to be small
Ter than last year.
Weed spraying, already begun
in the Laurel locality, is ex-
pected to become general in the
states winter wheat fields next
week.
Good pollination weather in
Ravallie counties has increased
the prospects for a very good
cherry and apple crop.
Although the rains have been
beneficial for all crops, the reser-
voirs have not all been replen-
ished. AS a consequence the
stock water supply continues
short in some areas along the
high lines in northern Montana.
The supply of new range feed
is generally short throughout the
state. Some areas west of the
and in the southeastern
part of the state have adequate
supplies.
1t is too early to tell how
much value the additional mois-
ture will have on many ranges.
1t will stimulate the growth of
range feed and provide some
much needed forage.
Livestock is generally in good
The loss of lambs dur
ing the recent cold rains was
comparatively light.
