States Drivers To
Pay S104,543 Gas
Tax This Week End

Most Labor day motorists will
probably come home with consid-
erably less money in their pockets
than when they left, but the state
treasury will come out ahead of
the game. Some $83,635 in state
gasoline taxes will flow into the
state Golfers as a result of motor
ing activiting over the week end.
About $4,000 cars are expected
to be on the highways in Mon
tana, and they will consume an
estimated 1,393,92O gallons of
gasoline while travelling some 2O,-
630,016 miles, Stevenson said.
He estimated that Montana mo-
florists would pay a total of $104,-
SAB of which $20,908 would go to
the federal government and $685.
635 to the state. There is a 1R-
cent federal tax on each gallon of
gasoline and a Scent state tax.
Montana motorists, who are con-
coded to be among the heaviest
taxed groups in the state, will find
no respite from gasoline taxes over
the week end" Stevenson said.
"These taxes add heavily to the
cost of running our automobiles,
whether for business or pleasure"

Northern Pacific railways car
building shops at Brainerd, Mimi,
last week commenced turning out
new steel box cars on a $2,500,000
building program, which will help
to relieve the countrywide demand
for additional freight equipment.
The immediate program calls for
500 50-foot six inch ears of 100000
pounds capacity with side doors
measuring eight feet in width. The
usual standard size box cars, built
In recent years, are forty feet, six
inches in length and have doors of
six-foot width. The greater di-
mansions of the new cars, now
building, make possible much bet
ter loading conditions for certain
kinds of freight, particularly lum-
Der and plywood and wider doors
greatly facilitate loading and I'M
loading operations with mechanical
equipment, according to F. G..
Moody, superintendent of the car
department. Mr.. Moody was for
merly foreman of the Laurel car
The new cars are rolling off the
production line at the rate of 10
to II per day and work schedules
call for completion of the entire

A~NT|-A|RCRAFT FIRE
CONTROL DESCRIBED

Members of the Laurel Rotary
club heard John o. Laird discuss
the background history of anti
aircraft fire control devices when
that group met Tuesday noon.
Laird told the club members of
the various problems that must
be rapidly solved in order to deter
mine the aim of a gun firing at
fast, h~igh-flying aircraft.
The basic instrument from
which other sighting equipment
has been developed is the range
find, a kind of binocular with
wide-set objective lenses, one of
which is fixed at a right angle
to the Instruments base-line while
the other is adjustable for focus
ing. Before the speed and service
ceilings of airplanes had increased
to the presenst extremes, the range
finder provided a sufficiently ac-
curate sighting method when
coupled with a tracker, a device
for following the flight of a plane
and determining its rate of move
ment and elevation.
When modern airplanes came
onto the scene, the previously sat
isfactory aiming equipment proved
to be incapable of performing rap
idly enough. Also the modern
night bombing methods left the
old instruments that relied on Wis
ual contact without any mean of
functioning. Radar, by eliminating
the need for visual contact, re-
moved this problem.
New electronic computers are
able to take the information put
into them by radar tracking and
height-finding devices plus other
fixed settings, and aim the guns
to which they are coupled so that
they will properly lead the target.
Limited by time, Laird was not
able to give a complete discussion
the more intricate phases of
his subject.
A new member, Kenneth Hage-
man, was introduced by Larry
Scribner. Fred Graft then ex-
the purposes and goals of
Rotary to the new member.
Guest at the meeting was ]. j..
Murphy, Spokane, Wash.

MOntana's Forest Fire
Statistics Reported

Washington, D.. c.. Aug. 30
The average forest fire in Mon
tana in 1949 burned 30.7 acres of
timber land. This is an increase
of four acres over the average for
the period 1945-49.
This was revealed in a report
published by American Forest
Products Industries. Based on Of
fetal U. S. forest service stats
tics, it shows comparative fire loss
figures for all states. National
sponsor of the forest fire proven
ton program - Keep America
Green-A. F. p. /. is a non-profit
organization supported by the
country's leading woOd-dependent
industries.
Altogether LAG Montana forest
fires burned over 35,140 acres last
year. All but 81 per cent of these
fires were confined to areas less
than 10 acres. Lightning accounted
for two-thirds Of the 1949 fires,
five times the number attributed
to lightning the preceding year.
Commenting on the states for
est fire prevention education.
"The Keep Green program, now
active in Montana and 81 other
states, provides an effective vehi-
Gle for citizens interested in com
batting forest fire losses. All Amer
icans," Mr.. Mcclellan declared,
must be made aware of the i'm
portance of fire prevention. Every
woods fire that burns destroys re-
sources this country needs to re-
main strong and prosperous"
The A. F. P. l. forester stressed
the need for full public support of
federal and state fire control
agencies. He called for continued
cooperation between industry, the
and woodland owners in
preventing fire.

Ice Cream Use Up
1870 From Year 1910

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Homemakers
are increasingly recognizing ice
cream as a significant food contri-
button to daily meals.
Proof of this lies in the state
ment that the present annual con-
sumption is % pints per person
compared to 10 pints in 1910, a
jump of At per cent. This is based
on the 1949 ice cream production
total of nearly 100000, 900 gal
Ions.
Scientists say that n average
serving of ice cream gives the
consumer the same amount of cal
cium and high quality protein as
one-half glass of milk. This high
food value is due to the fact that
80 per cent of the vanilla ice
cream mix consists of milk and
cream The other 20 per cent is
composed of sweetening and flaw
ors. The nutritional products of
milk and cream give ice cream
significant amounts of protein,
calcium, vitamin A and riboflavin,
all essential, say scientists for
growth and for developing strong
bones, sound teeth, good eyes, and
robust health.
Ice cream, in stable quantities,
should be eaten by those persons
low in milk consumption, says Mil
ton HUT, president of the National
Dairy Council, Chicago, to be as
sured of the nutrients needed by
the body in its growing and devel-
opment stages.

WEATHER SLOWS
HARVEST FROST
DAMAGES CORN
41%o Winter, 23% Spring
Wheat Harvested - BeetS
Seen AS Average

Cool, damp weather continues
to delay grain harvest in most
areas of Montana. For the state
in general about Al per cent of
the winter wheat and % per cent
of the spring wheat have been
harvested. Harvest of oats and
barley is about 45 per cent COM
pleted. Less than one-half of the
second crop of alfalfa has been
cut. Much of the corn in eastern
Montana has been damaged by
the frost.
Continued cool weather in the
wheat areas of Montana, plus a
plentiful supply of soil moisture,
has further delayed the maturing
of spring and winter grains. The
most seriously delayed area is the
northern half of the state. Much
of the grain which has been COM
bined is of high moisture content,
making storage uncertain. Many
wheat farmers have swathed or
bound a good deal of their grain
rather than delay harvest until it
is dry enough to combine. In gen.
eral, yields have been good.
Of the winter wheat harvest, the
most advanced areas are in the
south-central and southeast por-
tions where 72 per cent has been
harvested. Only a small amount
III the Triangle area has been har-
vested, except in sections of Pom
dera county. West of the divide,
winter wheat harvest is 40 per cent
complete.
In the southeast portion and
along the Yellowstone river, har-
vest of spring wheat is the furth-
est along with approximately so
per cent of the acreage harvested.
In the northeast r of the
state, spring wheat harvest has
been greatly retarded, with opera
lions completed or only ID per
cent of the acreage. Barley and
oats harvest has advanced more
rapidly, with as per cent of the
acreage in the state harvested.
However, about ~two-thirds has
been harvested in the north central
and eastern Montana.
About AZ per cent of the second
crop of alfalfa has been cut in the
state. Rains which fell the last few
weeks have caused some damage
hay already cut. Many fields
If alfalfa seed are still in full
Sugar beet yields are ex-
1ected to be average in most
lreas.
Frost in several areas of the state
/ week ago caused considerable
to corn in eastern Mon
ana. Much of this frosted corn
s being cut now for silage or feed.
Iery little of the corn this year is
expected to mature.
Although the recent rains and
DOL weather have delayed grasses
,ast the usual maturity dates,
anges in most areas of the state
re maturing sufficiently to pro-
-ide good stock feed. Livestock
marketing for this time of year
S below normal.
There is little grasshopper ac-
ivity in Montana at the present
ime. The hatch was much smaller
han a year ago and timely bait
ng and spraying kept damage at
minimum in infested areas.
