mobilization is a year-round one, one that embraces every month and every day of the year, our greatest amount of work, pr haps, comes in the month of December, the month of the Gift Shops in the hospitals.
 However, the hospital work is only part of the rehabilitation program, which is three phase program that knows no time, place, nor season.
 1. Service in the Hospital
 2. Service in the Community
 3. Service through Education
 Our job is to keep the Ameri- can way of life. not just to pre- serve human life. The veteran and the veterans family are our obligation. They are the Ameri- can way of life.

The first concern of the Amer ican Legion after it's organiza- ton in 1919 was the care of the disabled veteran. The plight of the veteran needing hospitaliza- ton and compensation was self evident. Out of the suffering and deprivations of our war disabled came the development of a nation wide service, which we know as the rehabilitation program.
 The American Legion Auxili- ary, working siGe by side with the American Legion has de- veloped a program which is br 1ging happiness and content ment to the hospitalized veteran.
 Our rehabilitation program concerns itself with the disabled veteran and his needs for re building h i m e f physically mentally and socially.

Air Force Increases
Quote For Women

The U. s. Air Force has greatly
increased its enlistment quotas for
women, and an intensive re-
cruiting drive is being launched
here, 1t was announced today by
Sergeant Loye M. Harrison.
The local drive is in line with
the recent announcement by the
director Of the women in the Air
Force - the WAT - that more
than 10000 highly qualified
young women will be added to the
Air Force by July, 1852. 1t was
learned that some $4,000 of these
will be enlisted women.
ITO qualify for enlistment in
the Air Force" Sergeant Harri-
son said, "A woman must be a
high school graduate, between the
ages of Is and "a, inclusive, be a
citizen, unmarried, in good heal
tn, have no dependents under the
age of 10, and of high moral
standards"
The pay scale for an enlisted
woman is exactly the same as
that for men. A private receives
$500 a month for the first four
months, after which her pay rises
to $4,000. Base pay increases with
promotions and in accordance
with length of service. Food, uni
forms, lodging, and medical and
dental care are provided without
cost.
The sergeant stressed that the
Air Force offers many opportuni-
ties for young woman to con-
tinue her education and to learn
interesting skills. Expert career
| counseling is given every WAF
in order to help her find her pro-
per niche.
"A few of the positions now be-
ing held by WAFs," Sergeant Har-
rison said, ''are those of weather
technician, craftsman supply
clerk, photo laboratory techni-
clan. For these and many other
specialities, the Air Force pro-
vides extensive training which
gives young enlistee the oppor-
tunity to rise through the ranks
to positions of leadership"

Queen OF Forest
To Be Chosen

The annual Queen of the For
est" contest will be held in Lex
ington on the night of Septem-
Der 6. The Queen of the Forest
contest is different from most
beauty contests because girls from
rural districts are only allowed to
enter. The rules for the contest
are: contestants must be from
towns OF $500 population or less,
1921 years old and single.
Area forester E. P. Mcmillan,
who IS in charge of the contest,
expects a large number of con-
testants. The Home Demonstra-
ton clubs have agreed to sponsor
a girl which assures the success
of the event. Mr.. Mcmillan asks
that all civic organizations in the
county enter at least one contest
ant.
In order to make the contest
of interest to everyone, dance
will be held in the Armory follow
ing the contest. Both square and
round dances will be held.
The former queen, Miss Angela
Kazar, of Tchula, will attend the
contest but cannot enter because
she will not be residing in the
county when the contest is held
in Greenville on September 81,
due to being away in school. Miss
Kazar has been asked to crown
the new queen.

Cattle Operation
The irrigated farm operated by
Wallace is part Of the cattle opera
ton of John Broderson and his son.
The John Broderson ranch consists
of $500 acres of dryland range near
by. About 800 head of cattle includ-
ing calves are run Oh the place. The
marketing program features selling
calves. In recent years about IS
acres of irrigated hayland have been
developed on this ranch also.
Just this spring the finishing
touches were put on Is acres of a
26-acre hay meadow. The 15-acres
are now perfectly leveled, in border
bikes, and have a good crop of
alfalfa coming along. A small cash
grain crop is obtained at this ranch
from 40 acres in spring wheat.
Early spring pasture is found on 800
acres of crested wheatgrass.
The total hay crop from the two
places amounts to about 5000 bales
or some 1870 tons each year. About
half of this hay is sold in the early
spring after the danger of a feed
shortage on the home ranch is over.
Hay is always fed at calving time

only half the water, irrigation time

Wallace Broderson, Golden Valley
county farmer. "A good part of his
147-acre farm along the Musselshell
liver has been leveled and border
diked, using farm equipment with

help.
One 55-acre alfalfa field recently

water into the 35 or 5G-foot wide
borders and get perfect spread of
water down the entire 1,70O-foot
length on this field He often turns
water into few borders and lets it
run all night.
In the daytime, water will go down
the borders and do a good irrigating
job in from 21a to hours, depend
ing on how dry the soil is at the
time. He estimates that with a good
head of water and the border bikes,
40 acres can be irrigated in about 48
hours. He likes the smaller 35-foot
wide border bikes best for quicker

Bulletin Out

RURAL FAMILIES in Montana
who are planning to build new
homes or remodel the old one will
find many helpful suggestions in
the revised edition of the Montana
Extension service Circular No. 2O2,
'sPlan Your Wiring" which has just
been published.
E. B. Wilson, extension agricul-
tural engineer and author of the pub
LEGATION, points out in the circulars
introduction that only by careful
planning of electrical wiring can
electricity be used most efficiently.
With proper planning, the system
can be designed to take care of flu
ture as well as immediate needs.
In the circular readers will find
common electrical terms explained
in everyday language, correct wire
sizes for various uses, and table
listing the average wattage and kilo-
watt hours used by farm and home
equipment. The circular concludes
with two charts of home and farm
wiring suggestions.

to farm flock conditions and he feels
there should be strong demand for
bucks. One such buck lamb that he
showed us weighed 80 pounds at 80
days, II pounds at birth.
Up on the bench above Fairview,
Jim Conner was lambing out about
600 ewes on the Art and Duane Witt
farm. Chicken houses and the big
old horse barn were now sheep ma
ternity wards. No milk cows here,
so the ''bums" were bott1e-fed a mix
ture of one part canned milk to two
parts water. An outfit fixed up like
a pig brooder with a home made
light bulb reflector furnishes the
heat for them.
Conner runs on upland dryland
ranges and was not nearly so con-
cerned with a high percentage of
twins as were valley producers who
ran on irrigated pastures. His only
flushing procedure was fresh dryland
range.
His ewes wintered on beet tops
in the valley. Pulp was fed after tops
ran out. Around Feb. / he added
hay, grain and, later, silage when
the wet pulp supply ran out. The
grain was screenings with much
wild oats) to which was added 1s
dry beans.
Just before and during Landing,
Conner was feeding molasses. This
he poured directly into a trough for
once-a-day feeding. Last year Con-
ner had trouble with eve paralysis
during lambing. To prevent this
land he thinks he has so far) he fed
his hay almost A-mile from the
corral, added the molasses to the
ration.
County Agene Eugene Coombs,
Sidney, estimates that farm flocks
in Richland county average around
200 head each. He agrees that. farm
flocks should have beneficial effect
on agriculture in that area but
stresses two points of caution-one
that permanent pastures require the
same thought and thorough care that
other farm crops require, and two.
that would-be farm flock owners
consider their own livestock breed
ing and feeding know-how before
buying too many too fast.

but otherwise there are a good many
years when the billy south slopes of
lower pasture at the home ranch will
winter the cattle without supple
mental feeding.
Drainage Problem
When Wallace bought this farm in
1914, there were Z acres of irrigated
alfalfa and 80 acres of dryland grain.
The balance of the lat acres was
mostly buck brush, greasewood,
sagebrush, salt grass and native
grasses. bitches from a previous ir-
legation attempt had been idle for
probably 20 or 80 years. In the
meantime, a drainage problem had
developed to the extent that a good
many acres of the farm had the tell
tale alkali dust on the surface.
Broderson had the soil conserva-
ton district engineers survey a
drain ditch through this field. The
ditch was 1900 feet long and only
few feet deep, but it did the job and
today there is hardly a trace of the
alkali that once covered the field.
The cost of the ditch constructed
with soil conservation district equip
ment was 1910.
Nearly all the land leveling was
done with small farm-owned 11S-
yard scraper and finished with
conventional land plane, both trac-
tor-pulled. Exception to this pro-
cedure was one 8-acre piece where
heavy cuts were necessary. The job
was done by dirt mover using bull
dozer and large scraper.
Results Showing
Results of the Z years Broderson
has put into development are GER
tain1y showing up now in the ex-
cellent hay meadows on the farm.
The leveling and border dixie con-
struction has been done along with
the spring work each year. And al
though this made the crops a little
late few times, the system has got
the job done.
Broderson is thinking now of in
stalling a pump at one point alonI
the river that would allow irriga
ton of any part of the farm. Th'
lift here would only be from 8 to II
feet, he estimates, and "wster in,
surance" would be his. Then there
would be an end to worries about
whether the dam he and other pro.
ducers in this locality depend upon
went out or if the water in the ditch
was low or ditch breaks occurred. He
figures that around 81, 900 would buy
and install an electric pumping uni
that would do the job of supplying
water insurance.
