BEAUT|FY|NG PROJECT
IS BEGUN FOR SCHOOL

The school board of district 2
has authorized the cutting of about
rs per cent of the trees around
the high school grounds. Removal
of the old trees was begun this
week. Next spring it is hoped to
plant hardwood trees in the bouIe-
ward, and after they have attained
sufficient growth the remaining old
trees will be removed.
1t is the intention of the board
to begin a identifying program by
seeding to grass the entire boule-
ward surrounding the high school
buildings. The Fairgrounds VIII
be improved by the placing of fine
gravel.
Within a few years the land
scappe appearance is expected to be
greatly improved. The present
trees were closely spaced, some
were dead and others in bad COD
dition.
Later this summer the trees
at the north school will be inspect
ed and the dead ones removed

Cascade county led all of Mon
tana's Sc counties in sales of hunt
ing and fishing licenses during
the year 1949, according to the
Montana fish and game depart
ment. Of a total of 273,244 per-
mits paid for by sports minded

LEGION BACKS PLAY
To RAISE BALL FUNDS

Commander Nels Ness of Lau-
rel post of the American Legion
has announced a two-night per-
Torrance of a home production
show "Aunt Silly" This will be
an outdoor performance at the
baseball park, held Monday, and
Tuesday, July "a and 25, at 8
o'clock.
Besides the entertainment value,
Commander Ness urged that the
public literally support the per-
formances because the proceeds
will be used to finance the Legion
Junior Baseball.
The Laurel team has not only
won the district 7 title, but by
defeating Cascade last Sunday eve
ming it is now in the semi-finals.
Since elimination games are state
wide, the expense involved is quite
heavy.
Laurel has a good team this
scape appearance is expected to be
MED the opportunity of going as
far as possible toward a state
championship.
Commander Ness has asked that
every baseball patron or any de-
voice of a youth program buy at
least one ticket during the ad-
vance sale which is being conduct
ed by the Girl Scouts.

Condemning the practice of
speeding in residential districts of
the city, the Laurel board of alder
men at a session July 5 authorized
the publication of a notice that
peace officers will arrest all such
offenders and prosecute them to
the fullest extent of the law. The
aldermen classed the violations as
numerous and inexcusable.
The notice goes on to say that
the dangerous and useless practice
of speeding is highly dangerous

CENSUS INCREASES
REPRESENTATIVES
IN LEGISLATURE
Yellowstone County To Have
Eight in 1858 Instead Of
It's Present Six

The 1868 session of the Montana
Legislature is expected to have
from 95 to SO members in the
house of representatives, five to
eight more than the present 80 az
result of official census figures.
Yellowstone county will then be
entitled to eight representatives in
stead of the present six.
The present law provides that
each county shall have at least one
representative, and an additional
for each 1000 population or major
fraction of that figure.
Cascade county, now with sus
already is assured of seven, but if
the official tabulation should show
only SO more persons than first
listed, it too would advance to the
same status as Yellowstone.
F1athead county is certain to In
crease its representation from
three to four but it could have five
if final figures show 80 persons
more than recorded in the prelimi-
nary estimate. Lewis and Clart,
now with three, is destined to stay
in that class unless the Official
count is SO greater than that ac~
counted last month.
Missoula county, with four now,
has enough of an increase in ity
preliminary count to be entitled TO
another member of the house when
the reallocation is made by the
1851 assembly. Custer also seems
assured of doubling its membership
from one to two.
Only Silver Bow is in a position
to lose. Preliminary census totals
give it a population meriting seven
representatives instead of the pres
emit eight.
The last apportionment of tbs,
house vas by the 1941 Legislature
and went into effect with the 1943
session. Using the official 1940
count the legislature reduced mem-
bership of the house from 1O2 to
30 by requiring 1000 inhabitants
or each extra assemblyman instead
IF the 5000 figure previously ir
1t is possible the 1851 assembly.
which will have the official fig
lres by counties available when
t convenes next Jan. L, will en-
leavor to further reduce the size
II the 1885 house by changing the
'ase upon which apportionment is
made.
This probably would meet with
trenuous opposition from the
counties which already are
utnumbered insofar as true repre-
entation is concerned. But if the
mall counties stick together they
ali set up almost any sort of q
cal they desire.
Thirty-one of the Sc counties had
,ss than 1000 population when the
asst apportionment was made
fourteen had less than 3,501. Yet
ach was entitled to one represent
tive the same as a county with
p to 10000 population.
In the senate the disparity Is
ven more apparent. There each
ounty has one senator. This
leans Petroleum, the most sparse
' settled, has equal voice in DELHI
rations with Cascade and Yellow
tone, the most populous, despite
he fact it is outnumbered in pep
lation by a margin of about
0 to 1.

HERE IN MINIATURE ARE THE BALLOTS of the two major par
ties, n or the other of which most of the electors will likely be
voting at primary elections next Tuesday, July 18. The ballot for each
party has two columns or tickets, one for state offices and the other
for county offices. The county tickets in the reproductions shown here
extend downward only through the office of public administrator; on
the real ballots, which are about 9A by 81 inches, will also appear
and constables for each Judicial township in the county, and for com
mtteemen in each of the 40 precincts. The ballots of the two major
parties; Republican and Democrat, together with Progressive party
which has candidates for only two state offices, will be held together
with a wire clip when the elector receives them at the election
precinct. In the booth he will remove the clip and choose the ballot
he wishes to vote, and vote it by making the necessary X marks in
the squares. He will return the voted and unvoted ballots to the
election officials. Also he will have a small ballot which he will
vote for the nomination of supreme court justices. which is not

Explains Corn
Field Use Of
Weed Killer

There is little change from 1949
in the recommendations for spray
ing weeds in corn, according to c.
]. Willard, associate in agronomy
of the Ohio Agricultural Expert
ment' Station. Corn should be
treated with VI to. " pound per
acre of 2,4-D as soon as the weed
seedlings are we'll through the
ground
Corn is less injured by early
spraying than by spraying later,
continues Willard. Spraying will
replace one cultivation, and it
seems desirable to replace the
tedious first cultivation. However,
grasses will not be killed by this
sprays, nor will some tolerant
braod. leaved weeds, such as black
nightshade.
Ester formations of 2,4-D
should be used at slightly lower
rates than anime salts. Many
companies this year are making
Foundations with an even number
pounds of 2,4-D per gallon so that
doses are more easily calculated
and measured.
As soon as corn is large enough
so that sprays can be applied un-
der it, drop nozzles should be USED,
