Giant New Snow
PlOw Headed West

A giant new snow plow which
railroad men say is the first real
innovation in railroad snow-fight-
ing equipment since the original
rotaries were built in the 1880's is
headed west on the Northern Pa
cific for a tryOut in the Rocky
mountains.
The new pillow is an outgrowth
of extensive research by the North
ern Pacific into the possibility of
adapting latest developments in
snow-fighting equipment for use on
rails. 1t was engineered and built
jointly for Mp, Union Pacific and
the Burlington by the VIM. Bros.
Boiler & Manufacturing Co., of
Minneapolis.
The machine has two sets of
rotors, one pair above the other
and each rotor consisting of eight
blades which operate
at high speed and convey snow up
ward. Each set of rotors is preced-
ed by set of rakes which rotate
at high speed and break up the
snow and ice before they reach
the rotors. The rakes may be rails
ed automatically to a height of 18
feet for exceptionally deep drifts.
All rotors and rakes revolve in
line with the rails, instead of
as in conventional rotary
plows.
Through two adjustable chutes
at the top of the plow, the snow
can be thrown in any direction an
distance of IT'S feet. The
plow mechanism is powered by
1880 horsepower diesel engine.
The complete unit weighs 213,00O
pounds.
The initial tryout is scheduled
TO start March % on the West
Yellowstone Park line of the Union
Pacific.

Business Conditions
Reflected By Social
Security Manager

Evidence of the generally good
business conditions throughout this
area is reflected in the activities
of the local social security admin
istration office, as reported by the
manager, Glenn A. Gardner of Bill
! lings. The area serviced by the Bill
lings field office includes % south
eastern Montana counties.
During the year 1949, nearly
1000 new social security cards
were issued to workers who en-
gagged in employment covered by
sociai security for the first time.
About 2,200 duplicate cards were
issued at the same time. Duplicate
cards bearing the original number
are issued to those who have had
a card, but have lost or destroyed
it. Mr.. Gardner emphasized that
all employees should take good
care of their cards; not only in the
interest of economical administra-
tion, but also to avoid delay to the
worker when seeking a job.
Dan Cupid also had busy year.
About 600 changes of names were
officially recorded on social secur-
ity cards.
Continued high interest in social
security problems is reflected in
the more than $500 inquiries re-
ceived in the local office during the
past year. Nearly $50 new claims
for retirement or survivorship
benefits were received.
There are now nearly 1900 bene-
ficiaries in the Billings area re-
ceiving over $4,000 each month.
Nearly $50 of these beneficiaries
are retired workers and their
wives. OF course, the balance is
made up Of widows, children and
a small number Of parents Of de-
ceased workers.
This is a 8 per cent increase
over last year. The average pay
ment to the retired worker is about
$24.00 per month. 1t is recognized
that such payment is quite low.
these insurance pay
ments, built up by equal contribu-
tions of the worker and his en-
ployer into the old-age and surviv- !
Ors insurance trust fund, are based |
upon past earnings and paid as a
matter of right without regard to |
income, except wages.

Montana Tourist
Business Worth
$65,294,S01 In '49

Helena, March %. - Montana's s
tourist business was worth $685.
294,801 in 1949, according to the
annual travel report released this
week by Albert Erickson, director
of advertising and publicity for
the State Highway Commission.
This represents a nine per cent in
crease over the $60,O00,O0O received
from the travel business in 1948.
"Based on car counts taken at
the port of entry stations, and from
information supplied through visit
or questionnaires, it was found
that over two million tourists were
in the state of Montana last year,
and that they left over sixty-five
million dollars" Erickson said.
In the report it was noted that
Montana's visitors were not as
"flush" in 1949 as they were in
1948, since the amount of spending
per person per stay dropped from
$32 in 1948 to $30.77 in 1949. This
was in keeping with the national
trend and marking the end of the
postwar spending splurge.
One encouraging sign, found in
the report, was the tendency for
Montana's visitors to stay longer
in the state. According to the 1948
survey, the average Montana tour
ist spent five days in the state, in
1948, he stayed 5.4 days.
By four to one majority, the
visiting motorist praised Montana's
highways. Montana's famed hospi-
tality was lauded, along with the
Treasure States methods of greet
ing visitors at the ports of entry,
and the unique historical markers.

POTATO STOCKS
REMAIN LARGE
MOntana's Surplus March
Was Second Largest In
History Of State

Growers and dealers stocks OF
merchantable potatoes, March 1
1850 in Montana, comprising 72O,-
900 bushels, are the second larg-
est of record. Last years March
1 stocks of $4,000 bushels were
the largest ever recorded. Disap-
pearance between Jan. 1 and
March 1 this year amounted to
3S0,000 bushels compared with
470,000 bushels for the January
February period year ago. Vir-
tually all of the disappearance the
past two months in Montana were
made through commercial chan
nels as only IA per cent or about
$4,000 bushels were purchased by
the commodity credit corporation
under the price support program.
The bulk of these potatoes are
being used as livestock feed. Re-
ports indicate that the market is
dull and growers are having diff
ficulty of finding outlets for their
merchantable stocks.
United States Surplus
March 1 stocks of merchantable
potatoes held by growers and To-
cal dealers in or. near the areas
where produced were the largest
of record for that date. Combined
grower and dealer stocks of ST.
100000 bushels on March l, 1850,
were "a per cent larger than hold
ings of a year earlier and II per
cent larger than the previous rec
ord of 75,230,000 bushels remain
ing on March l, 1947 from the
record-large crop harvested in
1916. Potatoes held for use as
food, seed or livestock feed on
farms where grown and those pur-
chased by the government under
the price support program but re-
leased to the grower are not in
cluded in the estimates of mer-
chantable stocks. Also, deductions
have been made for shrinkage and
waste expected after March l.
Purchases by the government
under the price support program
were increased during the past
month with livestock feed provid-
ing the principal disposal outlet
for such potatoes. In Maine, there
has been some export business and
starch factories have handled a !
large volume of surplus potatoes
during the past two months. How
ever, stocks in that state were the |
largest of record for March l and |
accounted for AZ per cent of the
U. S. total.
In the east, March 1 stocks were
about two-fifths larger than hold
ings on that date of the past two
years. In the central part of the
country, potato supplies are large
i'll each of the surplus late states
except South Dakota. In that state,
it was dry during the growing
season and the crop was short. In
the west, grower and dealer hold
ings on March 1 were per cent
smaller than the unusually large
holdings of March l, 1949. Re-
duced holdings in Idaho are large
ly responsible for the smaller
stocks in the west this year.

The selection, usually tantamount
to election, will be from the new
board. Nominations for other Of

Gregory of Missoula, and Harry
Dean and j. L. Mcclellan of Bill
lings. F. R. Brown of Park City

In his Introductory paragraphs
DR.. Kraenzel, remembering soci-
