"Slots" Out . Temporarily?

The slot machine racket in Montana dealt
at least temporarily devastating blow this past two
weeks a result of a series of decisions handed
down by the State Supreme Court
In addition, District Judge George w. Padbury
of Lewis & Clark county, was administered of
the sharpest shellackings visited jurist in
Montana court by the high bench.
Finally Attorney General Arnold Olsen and all
Sc county attorneys to have their work for the
immediate future pretty we'll "cut OUT for them
result of the several rulings Disagreeabe though
the task may be to some of the county officials, it
now becomes mandatory that they seize and destroy
every slot machine hidden away in their Counties

fica fail to act then the Attorney General and his
staff will have to in and do the job-somethng
which that office has already evidenced intentions
of doing.
Follows below more comprehensive review of
these major developments.

RADIO, quarter in Nebraska and the re-

The increased crop production in the
Missouri basin would have an annual value
of about $160O0O,OO0 at 1894 farm prices,
according to BAE estimates Since con-
siderable acreage now devoted to wheat
will be shifted to other crops when water
is available, it is estimated that average an
nual production of wheat in the region will
be reduced by about Is 689, 900 bushels.
Production increases estimated for the
more important crops are as follows: Pota-
toes 24,916,000 bushels, corn "a, SOL 900 BUSH
els, barley 1913 900 bushels, oats 8,216,OO0
bushels, dry edible beans 1,74800O bushels,
sugar beets 100000 tons and alfalfa hay
100000 tons. These estimatesaare based on
the proportionate acreages devoted to the
different crops on irrigated farms already
operating in the region. Actual production
on the new farms would of course be in
fluenced by comparative market demands
and other factors.
These additions to western production
would come gradually. H.present plans ma
terialize the construction of the reservoirs
would be completed by 1865. Full develop
ment of the land for irrigation would take
considerably longer. Tt is anticipated that
the new production will be readily utilized
by the growing western population.

to the timely moisture and a great grass
crop is IN the making.
The season is late but the grain has been
making a remarkable growth Grasshop-
pers will be problem in some places but
control measures are being organized and
the situation is well in hand, at least for the
present.
Although the grain crop prospect is fa-
vorable for Montana as June draws to a
close, the important southwestern grain re-
gion of the United States has suffered
severe setback. Production there and in
some other states will be decidedly less
than in other recent years.
Supplies of wheat on the domestic mar
ket will not be burdensome and the outlook
for maintaining prices around present
levels through most of the coming market
ing year appears favorable.
Livestock growers, too, will benefit from
the fine grass crop and the opportunity to
rebuild hay reserves that were depleted by
the heavy feeding last winter.

Missouri Plan and Crop Outlook

COMPLETION of the Missouri river de-
" velopment program, commonly known
as the Pick-Sloan plan, will result in 1917
percent increase in agricultural production
in the Missouri region. But its effect on the
total farm production of the United States
will be comparatively modest increase of
liz percent And the added output will be
largely in feed crops which will be needed
for the expanding livestock industry of the
country. These are among the facts re-
vealed by study recently completed by the
bureau of agricultural economics.
The $50 reservoirs provided by the plan
as now outlined would provide water for
new irrigation on about 100000 acres.
There would be supplemental water for an
additional 100000 acres. It is estimated
that there will be $4,000 new farms in the
region while about $4,000 farms already
established will receive irrigation water for
the first time. Supplemental water will go
to about $4,000 farms already being irri-
gated in part. But 1000 farms and ranches
now operating in the reservoir sites will be
taken out of production.
Of the new irrigated land about 1,500,-
600 acres will be in Nebraska and 1,250000
in North Dakota. Montana and South Da-
kota will each receive about 100000 while
around 100000 acres will be in Wyoming,
Colorado and Kansas. Half of the proposed
supplemental irrigation would be in Colo

the scene until mere million years ago.
During the two billion years of the
earth's existence, gigantic forces were at
work tearing the rock to pieces teaching out
the soluble salts, carrying them out to sea,
and laying down large deposits of them ON
the bottoms of the oceans. In addition, at
mospheric nitrogen was being combined
with carbon, hydrogen and oxygen on tire
mendous scale to form organic matter.

Crop Outlook Is Favorable

VXTHTLE most of Montana's grain fields
w are still several weeks away from
harvest the present outlook is for a good
crop possibly real bumper. The moisture
situation, particularly east of the mountains,
is quite favorable. There has been much
Improvement since last fall. Most of the
area went into the winter with subson mois-
ture reserves considerably below normal.
But winter SHOWS were unusually beneficial
and March brought above normal precipita-
ton in many districts April was about
average. May was comparatively dry but
favorable to seeding operations. June has
been about normal in part of the state and
decidedly wet in other areas, especially in
the northern and eastern sections where the
greatest moisture deficiency developed last
year.
While more reseeding of winter acreage
was required in some counties than for
many years, the season has been nearly
ideal for spring wheat in the important pro-
ducing areas. Ranges too have responded

sound. Perhaps there was method In Ma
lures seeming madness because large guam
titles of these rock-derived materials were
showed up out of the oceans through earth
quakes and other natural forces. Such de-
posts, including many billions of tons of
phosphate rock, potash salts, nitrate of soda,
limestone, sulphur and borax, are now be-
ing mined and put back on the land in the
form of commercial fertilizer. Nitrogen is
also being taken from the air, combined
with other elements and used to enrich the
land
Were it not for these tremendous natural
reserves of minerals and their availability
for use as fertilizers, the future task of
producing food for the earth's increasing
population would be an almost hopeless one.
Even in Montana and Wyoming where soils
are relatively rich in most of the elements
that are essential for crop production there
is increasing use of fertilizers year after
year, particularly on irrigated land

Wheat carrYover at beginning of the
marketing year on July l is now estimated
at about 100000, 900 bushels. Carryover q
year from now will probably be about 100,
100000 bushels less than that because of
lower production this season. Most authori-
ties feel that $50 900 bushels is the mini
mum reserve that should be maintained be-
cause of the continuing hazards of crop fall
ure and war emergency. Many believe the
safe level is at least 450,000,000
