''The boys lived out here and went
to school here. A lot of the time
they didn't have thing to eat but
rabbits. Mama had a garden, but it
was too dry to raise much.
Papa finally decided to take us
all back to Milwaukee, so he sold
the team and wagon and the cow and
what few tools he had; it was just
enough to buy our tickets back"
WE STOPPED NOW and got out

the slope to the tumble-down barn.
Fright here is where Mama had her
garden, I'm sure" A little patch of
ground there looked different from
the rest; you could see that it had
been dug up and cultivated some
time, though the sage-brush and
weeds had got good hold on it
again.
The old girl rushed up to the cellar
and peered in. There's the shelf
where Mama kept her milk-pans,
and the round mark of the crock she
kept the butter in. The churn stood
in that corner"
She ran to get her camera out of
the car so she could take pictures of
everything to show her sister back

stood around like they couldn't see

Herb couldn't make much sense

that trail you see there, and about
so yards further on you'll see the old

WENT BACK to the car, and we
retraced for short distance. I said
: to the old lady, "That fellow went

as compared to 1863 pounds of gain
from each acre of native pasture.
Feed Lot Performance
Feed lot performance of progency
groups of beef cattle to determine
the value of sires has been studied
for several years by livestock re-
search men of the Montana Agricul-
tural Experiment station in cooper
alton with representatives of the U.
S. department of agriculture. These
studies have led to the procedure
of "bull indexing" to determine the
prospective sires feed lot perform
ance as a calf.
The results Of ''bull indexing'' have
convinced breeders of beef cattle in
Montana that they now have avail
able to them very valuable tool for
bringing about outstanding increases
of efficiency in beef cattle produc-

superior bulls of proven high pro-

Woolgrowers of Montana have
been very quick to make use of the
research information on quality and
shrinkage of their wool clips pro-
vided by the Department of Animal
Industry and Range Management
and the Montana Wool laboratory
during the past year. Since 1910,
more intelligent marketing based on
information relating to the quality
and shrinkage of wool has enabled
Montana's sheep men to realize up
to 100000 more each year from
the sale of their wool than before.
Modern HaYing Equipment
Modern power equipment now
available for handling Montana's hay
crop has been distinct asset to most
livestock producers.
Within recent years, the airplane
has been used extensively to apply
newly developed insecticides to pre-
vent destruction of the forage on
thousands of acres of range lands by
grasshoppers. Airplane distribution
of insecticides also is effective in
controlling the alfalfa weevil and
sugar beet webworm.
Montana's swine producers, having
access to improved western mar
kets, are taking advantage of the
new breed of hogs-Hamprace OF

lively by the Montana Agricultural
Experiment station and the Bureau
of Animal Industry, USDA.
Better Rural Living
For the state as a whole, life il
rural communities has become more
attractive. Many new farm and ranch
houses have been constructed anC
modelling and undermining existing
residences. Modern heating, lighting
and plumbing, along with shelter
belts, decorative paintings and vege
table gardens have done much to off
set handicaps of the past.

NOME FIRE CONTROLLED
 BY TWO FIRE DEPARTMENTS

The Fire Department was called out late yesterday afternoon to the east end of town where some children had been playing in Heinie Muller's car. it is reported, and in trying to start it, it back fired, starting the dry grass on fire.
 The fire spread quickly with the strong West wind and an area of about a block was burned be- fore the blaze could be extin- guiShed.
 The Air Force Fire Department also answered the alarm and the combined efforts of the two de- partments kept the fire from get ting out of control and developing into what might have been a very serious fire, due to the wind.
 One other car was destroyed and is believed to have been one belonging to Andrew Kalerak.
 The quick response of both de- partments and the efficient way in which they co-operated has brought praise from those who witnessed the fire.

WASHINGTON, (P)- The Uni ted States has developed atomic artillery shells and atomic war heads for guided missiles, it was learned recently.
 News of these revolutionary weapons comes in the wake of de- fense secretary Johnson's report to president Truman on March 31 that this country is developing a variety of new atomic missiles which may have tactical as well as strategic significance.
 That means they can be used against troops in the field as we'll as against industrial targets.

By RUSS NEWLAND

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5 = tR = The 26th annual All Pacific Coast Football teams, selected for the Associated Press by consensus vote of the writers, coaches and scouts, is distinguished from predecessors by the fact that the two-platoon system is carried for the first time.
 Players from both conference and independent schools are eligible for the granddaddy of the coasts all star squads.
 California, conference champion and Rose Bowl nominee, placed three men on the varsity offense eleven and the same number on the defensive team. Runner-up Washington took three positions on offense and one on defense. .Inde- pendent University of San Fran cisco won two places on the defen- sive outfit, along with Stanford.
 Bill McColl, Stanford's giant end, was honored by being named for both offense and defense. He was an overwhelming favorite for both squads.
 Washington's two backfield stars, Don Heinrich and Hugh McElhenny missed by one vote each of being unanimous choices for the first team on offense. California's soph- omore ace, John Olszewski, took the fullback spot by large ma- jority and the Bears Les Richter, was almost unanimous choice for defensive guard.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5-tRD-Elever. football players who, without much doubt would star on any major col lege team in the country, have been named on the Associated Press annual Little All-America team.
 The players honored performed for schools which are officially listed by the NCAA as not of major sports caliber, either because of limited enrolment or because all, or nearly all, of their games are played against small institutions.
 The Evergreen Conference of Washington placed one man on the first team. He was Jack Hawkins Central Washington, a guard.
 A repeater in the Little" back field, Brad Rowland of. McMurry College in Texas, is regarded by Southwest Conference coaches as one of the greatest backs ever pro- duced by the Lone Star State. ! His three backfield mates on the mythical eleven are Carl Taseff of ! John Carroll in Cleveland, Robert sa Mailer of Emory eandssHenry. and Richard Doyne of Lehigh. Taseft was the nations top scorer until the last week of the season.
 ] The second Little" eleven in- cludes Everett Tiland, Western Washington College of Education, a halfback, and Richard Daniels, Pa cific Lutheran, center.
