COMMERCIAL CLUB
GETS OVER $1,000
Of YEARS BUDGET
Hopes To Wind Up Campaign
By End Of April-TOtaI
For 1850 Is $1,000

The Laurel Commercial club has
to date received more than $1,000
of its 1850 budget. The total
sought for the year is $1,000. Sec.
Hugh Sweeney expressed the opin-
ion this week that the club will
have no difficulty in raising the
amount requested from it's mem
bers, and that the collection will be
completed by the end of April.
Several of the larger contrib
utors have not yet responded to
the cards mailed to them less than
two weeks ago, though some have
done 80. The 81 ,000-plus that has
Sc far come in is from about Is
per cent Of the cards mailed March
30. This years budget is approx
mately that of a year ago.
In recent years the solicitations
have been made by mail instead of
by committees and teams, with re-
suits generally satisfactory. About
100 members are yet to be heard
from.

CENSUS TAKERS
MAKE PROGRESS
Cooperation By People Laud-
ed By EnumeratOrs-HOpe
To Complete Job April 80

According to Mrs. Dorothy Flor
ey, crew leader, the census tabula-
ton for the first week has been
progressing fairly rapidly, thanks
to the kindness and cooperation of
the people in this part of Yellow
stone county. Several of the sur
rounding school districts have al
most been completed. All the small
difficulties have been ironed out,
and from the reports of the enum-
orators, most of the people have
been pleasantly surprised at the
few questions that are actually
asked of them. The enumerators
have had some difficulty on the
dirt roads but in spite of the in
clement weather and a few vicious
sounding dogs, they have obtained
the necessary information. eve
hope to have the biggest part of
this work done by the end of
April, and with the splendid CO.
operation we have been getting, it
will be accomplished" says Mrs.
Florey.
This is really an enormous un-
dertaking, accounting for the vast
ly increased population of the
United States. Upon the correct
tabulation of our state schedules
rests the fate of the number of
representatives we will be allowed
iii congress for the next ten years.
The population and housing data
are for the purpose of counting
noses" and determining just how
we'll housed and how we'll equipped
we are, as a nation, and from this
tabulation of statistics, we will
know how we stand, as a nation;
how much housing, electrical
equipment and modern facilities
are needed to make US, as a nation,
truly modern and self-sufficient.
The agricultural questionaires
will determine if we really are as
wealthy in produce as we hope We
are. 1t will determine just how
much our good earth will produce
Or not produce; just where the pro-
duction is most plentiful, and
where improvements are needed to
make it more plentiful. 1t has been
most gratifying to US, a census
to note that for the most
part, the farmers have already fill
ed their agriculture questionaires,
so that when the enumerator comes
to call it has only been necessary
for them to check through it, max
.ng sure that all the questions have
oeen understood, sign them and be
on their way; thus speeding our
job, and not wasting valuable time
for the busy farmer. We r try
ing to do the job as speedily and
accurately as possible, and with
The marvellous help we are getting,
we will soon be able to say that it
has been a ~pleasurable job well
lone.
AS for the state of Montana,
his census will clarity a lot of
for her. We know what a
state she is, but for the
most part she is known primarily
IS a pleasure state, not too much
been told about her posi-
a S a great producing state.
When the tabulations are complete
We will know the amount of agri-
and stock she can and doe
produce with the people of Mon
ana at the helm. We are hoping
hat when all has been done, Mon
ana will at last truly come int
Ter own.

SEEDING DELAYED
BY LATE STORMS
Soil Moisture Is Adequate In
Most Sections Of State;
Warm Weather Needed

Late SHOWS and freezing temper
atures have delayed field work ap-
ploXimately two weeks. The season
ranges from 10 days to three
weeks late in the northern half of
the state and a week to two weeks
later than normal in the southern
half and west of the continental
divide. Conditions + about nor
nal in the Big Hole and Madison
areas. Some field work has been
started in the southern counties
and in a few of the extreme west
ern counties along the Idaho line.
Soil moisture is generally ade-
quate over most of the state. How
ever, spotted areas in the eastern
tier of counties and a few areas in
central Montana just east of the
divide are reporting short soil
moisture supplies. AS a whole,
moisture conditions are now favor
able for good grass growth, as
temperatures rise. Spring sown
crops should terminate well. Re-
ports regarding winter wheat pros
poets range from fair to good, al
though it is a little early to OBJ
serve the effects of the severe
winter on the outcome of the crop.
With moisture conditions as they
are, rising temperatures should
give the winter wheat a good start.
New grass On ranges is also late
in starting. Most livestock men are
still feeding heavily and have
about exhausted their hay sup
plies. There will be little carry
over of old hay in the eastern two
thirds of the state. Livestock are
in fair to good condition, generally,
calving and Landing well I'M
der way. However, some cattle are
in a weakened condition in the
northern third of the state east of
the divide, from the billiards. of
last winter.
Slight injury to cherry buds is
reported in the northern Flathead
area. Grasshoppers will be less
menacing than last year but some
trouble is expected in a few of the
eastern counties. Some army worm
.nfestation is reported in Yellow
stone and Carbon counties. Farm
.abor is adequate in most areas for
he present time.
During the past week tempera-
averaged we'll below normal
east of the divide, and near nor
nal west. The weeks warmest was
50 degrees at Broadus and Billings
April 6, and the coolest was eX-
zero at West Yellowstone or q,
he fifth. Freezing temperatures
occurred several times during the
week at all reporting points. Pre-
;ipitation was general, and t
mounts were moderate, except
leavy over larger sections of the {
east of the divide. Great Falls {
md Helena measured the heaviest
mounts, 70 and .73 inch, respec-
lively. Much of the precipitation

Statewide, the last winter varied s

Silper Disputes
DriUe Results

CLEVELAND, (JTA) = DR..
Abba Hillel Silver took issue
with DR.. Nahum Goldman, chair
man of the American section of
the Jewish Agency, who declared
in New York that the money
raised by the United Jewish Ap-
peal in 1949 was only ten percent
below the total raised during the
preceding year.
whether this serious drop in
the totals raised by American
Jews and in the amounts allo-
Gated to the U.J.A. are to be attri-
buted exclusively to the delay in
organizing the 1949 U.J.A. drive,
as DR.. Goldman suggests, is, OF
course, matter of personal judg-
ment, but surely the figure e s
should be given as accurately as
possible" DR.. Silver concluded.
