EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT of Mon
tana's farmers and ranchers are now
in soil conservation districts or graz
ing districts, reported Gordon Nc
Gowan, Highwood, outgoing presi-
dent of the Montana Association of
Soil Conservation Districts, at the
annual convention of district super
visors held in Sidney Nov. 90 through
Dec. l.,
Newly elected officers of the as
ISOLATION are Ray Kimball, Hysham,
president; Fay Crusch, Bainville,
vice president; Fred Sanborn, Great
Falls, treasurer, and Robert Brink,
Bozeman, secretary District di-
rectors are John Harker, Heron; c.

Ted Pettyjohn, Great Falls; E. H.
Hoover, Milestone; Henry Reinemer,
Circle; Harry Alley, Whitehall; Pat
PIummer, Ollie.
McGowan's report traced the his
tory of the association from the for
nation of the first soil conservation
district in Plentywood, Jan. IS, 1910,
to. the present time. He explained
that there are now " districts repre-
senting 76,287, 500 acres and % graz
ing districts comprising 100000
acres. eve are working with 1000
farm and ranch operators, have
planned out approximately 100000
acres or about 20 percent of the total
lands in the districts" he said.
A conservation textbook for use in
the schools of the state was urged
by Gov. John Bonner, speaking at
the meet He said that such book
was needed SO that Sabotage citi-
zens would know about the resources

eve cannot hope to develop our state
as we should unless we know and
practice conservation of our natural
resources" he added.
A. d. McKinnon of the North Da-
kota Soil Conservation association
told delegates ga speedup of conser-
walton practices is essential, for If
we do not conserve land voluntarily,
we will by necessity do it later with
the loss of individual freedom"
: Supt. John ]. Sturm of the North
Montana experiment station said,
s'Too many farmers have failed in
their attempt to use unadopted farm
ing methods in Montana"
Don Daley of League City, Tex,
area vice president for the national
organization, today challenged dele
gates not to be satisfied until every
acre in Montana is under some eff
fective and applied conservation
plan"
The Importance of grass in agricul-
ture was discussed by D. p Fabrick,
Choteau. 'Grass possesses qualities
of permanence, of stability and en-
durance that no other crop has in
like degree. 1t has ability to con-
serve the soil and to maintain and
restore its fertility. We should
turn to grass and make it a basic
factor in crop rotations"
DR.. R. R. Renne, president of Mon
tana State college, Bozeman spoke
to the group on river basin develop
ment. Ray Johnson, extension range
specialist, Bozeman, spoke on the inn
portauce of range management in the
conservation program.

Resolutions adopted by the Mon
tana association:
1. Praised the achievements of the
state water conservation board and
urged that the budget proposed for
the biennium July 1, 1851, to June
80, 1852, be approved by the state
legislature.
2. Endorsed the work of the state
engineers office In gathering data
on water rights, insisted on prosecu-
ton of this work until complete
record of all water rights is available
for the entire state, and urged ap-
preparation of sufficient funds for
this purpose by the state legislature.
g. Urged the state legislature and
the congress to provide sufficient
funds to permit adequate surveys of
surface and ground waters"
4 Recommended careful study by
the state legislature of bill to be
submitted at the next session regard
ing appropriation, use and control of
ground waters.
5. Recommended that the small
projects committee of the National
Reclamation Assn. be continued.
g. Urged that inclusion in future
contracts with irrigation districts of
a joint liability clause should be OPP
tiona1 with the contracting organiza-
ton and that existing laws covering
such contracts be so amended.
Z. Urged continuance of the work
of the international joint commits
sion.
8. Urged renewal of the sugar act
with revisions to increase domestic
sugar beet production with special
relation to reclamation develop
ment.

a March or April peak. Consumer
demand seems to have increased no.
tably in the last four or five months.
Larger consumption and more ag-
gressive storage buying with pros
poets of little or no increase in pro-
duction over last spring probably
will hold prices on better level
than year previous, without the
help of government buying of dried
eggs which ends Dec. 81.
TURKEYS - Thanksgiving con-
sumption was extremely heavy.
Owing to the price discount, sales of
toms at retail were better than ex-
pected. Supplies available for
Christmas trade are large, but prices
are little over the average in the
pre-Thanksgiving trade.
POTATOES-A moderate price
advance is probable during the win
ter as result of government buy
ing of eligible surplus stock at prices
which rise each month. However,
market offerings continue large COM
pared with the slow consumer de-
mand, and average prices are likely
to remain substantially below the
support level In spite of absence of
support next year, reduction in the
early 1851 crop probably will give
only slight help to old crop potatoes.

MISSOURI BASIN development

viewed by reclamation association
speakers of both the Montana and
North Dakota Reclamation associa-
ton at their first Joint meeting held
in Sidney Nov. " and %. The 1851
meeting of the Montana association
will be held in Lewistown with the
possibility that the 1852 annual con-
vention will be another joint meet
ing with the North Dakota group at
Williston, NJ. D.
John Buttelman, Willow Creek,
was elected president of the state
association; D. t. Fabrick, Choteau,
vice president; Harold Dusenberry,
Bozeman, secretary, and Ralph c..
Bricker of Great Falls, treasurer.
H. L. Buck of Billings was named
national director for Montana.
Opposition TO Authorities
Opposition to valley authority
plans was voiced by Harry Polk,
Williston, National Reclamation as
ISOLATION president.
More flexible reclamation laws
were suggested by D. P. Fabrick of
Choteau, new vice president of the
Montana association.

Members of both associations
heard addresses by Gov. John Bon
ner of Montana, President r. R.
Renne of Montana State college and
Dean H. L. Walster of the school of
agriculture, North Dakota State col
lege. DR.. Renne and Dr. Walster
spoke on how the land grant col
leges fit into the upper Missouri ba-
sin land and water development
program.

the decline next spring is likely to
be less than usual. Butter probably
will continue at the governments
selling level for several months. Milk
production is turning upward due to
fall freshening, but has been running
slightly under last year. Consump-
ton of fluid milk and cream is a
little larger than last year and is
likely to expand further in 1851.
EGGS-Prices will decline sharply
in the next two or three months
when production is likely to increase
about one-third over the present
level. The lay has shown only a
small increase in the last two months,
probably due to the reduced pullet
crop, but it will expand rapidly to

Markets at a Glance

Prices-Main trend probably will continue
upward regardless of Korean outcome.
Cattie-Steady to higher prices are probable
for most kinds in next two three months.
Hogs-Seasonal rise lasting until late win
ter probably will start soon.
Lambs-Further price rise is probable by
late winter.
wool-short supply gives strong price OUT
look
wheat-Rise to or SLIGHTLY over loan re-
demption value is probable later in season.
Feed Grains-Increasing demand for feeding
and processing probably will advance prices to
governments selling level.
FIaxseed-Increased grower offerings in
January may check rise.
Seeds-Farmers who wish to sell surplus
stocks probably should line UP buyers soon.
Feedstuffs-Main price trend probably will
be up until spring.
Embarrassing requirements probably spell
steady to slightly higher prices
Dairy Products-ReturnS from milk over feed
cost average slightly better than last year.
Eggs-Increase in consumption has strength
ened outlook.
Chickens-Mainly steady to higher prices
are probable until spring.
Turkeys-Big price discount stimulated re-
tail demand for toms.
Potatoes-Moderate price rise Is probable
during winter.

Market Outlook
By GILBERT GUSLER

WAR OR PEACE in Korea, the
main trend of farm prices next year
probably will be up. although a ne
gotiated peace would bring a sub
stantial temporary setback. Plans
for greatly expanded armament ex-
penditures and speeding up of de-
Tense preparations probably will be
carried through.
Prices for farm products have re-
covered about three-fifths of their
decline from the January, 1948 peak
to the low point year ago. The in
dex of prices of goods farmers buy.
plus interest, taxes and farm wage
rates-an indicator of farmers cost
rates-is at a record high level. Com
pared with year ago or with the
pre-Korea level, however, farm
prices are up substantially more than
costs.
CATTLE-Steady to higher prices
for good and choice slaughter cattle.
steady prices for medium grades, and
steady to higher prices for low
grades and for stockers and feeders
are probable in the next two months.
HOGS-Prices probably will start
a seasonal rise toward peak in Feb
ruary or March. Receipts are likely
to pass their high point by middle
cember, although after let up dur
ing the holidays, they may pile up
temporarily again in mid-January.
Low prices for pork are stimulating
the movement into consumption. Re
turns from hogs over feed cost are
likely to remain profitable in 1851,
but considerably less so than in the
past year.
LAMBS - Prices probably will
fluctuate near recent levels in the
next month, but are likely to rise by
late winter. The early feed crop.
which is considerably larger than the
late crop, will be marketed freely in
the near future.
WOOL-Prices continue to adj
vance and the outlook remains quite
strong. Markets are almost bare of
1850 domestic clips. Foreign primary
markets are mostly firm, with Eu-
rope, Russia and the United States
competing for the short supply.
WHEAT-Prices probably will rise
close to or slightly over the loan re-
demption value during strong periods
later in the season.
In recent years, sales of wheat by
producers have been low in Deem
Der, then picked up in January
partly because of income tax consid-
erations. IF prices are strong early
in the new year, such sales may
check advancing tendencies before
January is over and cause a partial
setback by late winter. But if Ko-
rean news remains adverse ano
drouth in the southern great plains
becomes more severe, the increase In
sales is likely to be small.
DAIRY PRODUcTS-Prices prob.
ably will hold near current level:
for the next two or three months ant

Kingston. Upon Gen. Lafayette's
visit to Washington in 1824-5, he
was a guest in this famous hos
telry.
An especially interesting refer
ence made by Mr.. Hines is to the
Friends Meeting House, which he
locates in the square between
Nineteenth and Twentieth and !
and K streets. OF this he says:
"On the square between I and
K and Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets we're four frame houses,
one a small one-story, occupied as
a Quaker meeting house; one a
two-story, occupied by Joseph
Houston, ESQ.,, and the other two,
of one story each, owned by Mrs.
Ray, afterward Mrs. Kedgeley."

Unless Mr.. Hines has his loca-
ton mixed. this places the Friends
in this neighborhood eight years
before they erected their meeting
house on I street, between Eight
eenth and Nineteenth streets,
where President Hoover Wor-
SHIPPED upon several occasions.
Mr.. Hines tells us that:
"On Boundary, between Eight
eenth and Nineteenth streets, a
small wooden house, occupied by
a colored man named Bounds.
On square bounded by L and M
and Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets, an old farmhouse, occu-
pied by Mr.. Steiner. On square
bounded by I and K and Eight
eenth and Nineteenth streets, two
houses, one a two-story frame,
occupied by a Mr.. Robertson, a
butcher, and the other, a brick,
occupied by Mr.. Joseph Stretch.
On square bounded by H and I
and Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, two small one-story frame
houses, occupied by Mr.. Pheth-
can. On square between I and K
and Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, an old wooden farmhouse
occupied by Mr.. John Maui. On
square between H and and Ver-
mont avenue. two two-story brick
houses called the Two Sisters,
one of which was occupied by
Capt. Andrews, and the other, to
the north, by a Mr.. Middleton, as
a cabinetmaker's shop. In this
house some of the first mahogany
desks were made for Congress, in
1900, previous to the first session
of Congress in Washington. About
half mile directly north of these
was a one-story wooden farm
house, occupied by Mr.. Thomas
Dove (square not recollected."
