FILA Committeeman
A. * @.'i-.
Named for
Big Horn County

William Colstad of Hardin
was appointed this week to the
Farmers Home Administration
committee for Big Horn county,
Donald Eyre, local supervisor for
the agency, said Tuesday.
The appointment was made by
James A. Keane, Bozeman,
state director.
The new committeeman is a
farm operator and longtime
resident of Big Horn county.
His experience in developing a
successful family-type farm,
Eyre said, fits him well for his
new assignment in aiding other
farmers to do the same. He will
serve three years.
Eyre explained that all ap-
plications for Farmers Home
Administration credit must be
approved by the county commit
tee before loans can be made.
When a real estate loan is being
considered to buy, enlarge or
develop a farm Or to improve
housing and farm buildings,
the committee also determines
how much the farm is worth as
security for the loan.
Advice of the committeeman
is sought on good farm man
agement and on the refinancing
of Farmers Home Administra-
ton loans when borrowers build
up enough equity in their prop
erty to get credit from local
banks or other lenders, Eyre
added. Farmers who can get
private or cooperative credit are
not eligible for loans from the
agency, he said.
-Colstad succeeds Earl Gray,
farmer of the South Hardin
area, whose three-year term
expired June 80.
Members who continue to
serve are Russell DanielSon of
the North Hardin area and
Erwin Schelske of the South
Hardin area. 4
Eyre said a new committee
chairman to serve through next
June will be selected at the
next meeting. Gray was chair
man last year. ..,'. - .

Receives Reports
Of Damage
By Grasshoppers

Reports have been received
by the county extension office
that graSShopper concentrations
are doing damage to some grain
fields in the county, and due
to the continued warm weather,
which makes graSShopper emer-
gence favorable, County Agent
Henry M. Fitzpatrick has issued
a warning to farmers.
Since vegetation is drying
and maturing, toxaphene and
chlordane can not be recon-
mended for use at this time,
the agent said. Where grass
hopper control is necessary un-
der these conditions, only aIdrin
should be used.
The recommended rate of ap-
plication of this insecticide is
two ounces per acre. This con-
~centration mixed with No. 2
diesel oil, at the rate of two
ounces per gallon, should be ap-
piled by airplane over the en-
tire area where graSShoppers
are present.
II it is not possible to have
this chemical applied, sodium
fluoSilicate mixed with bran
and Sawdust is available at the
county mixing station, Kilpat-
rick said.
Grasshoppers will be effec-
lively controlled when they are
moving off ranges to grain
fields if the bait is spread to
form a barrier. The amount of
bait to use, and the width of
the barrier will be determined
by the insect numbers.
Bait can be secured from the
mixing station or the county
extension office every day of
the week if this measure is de-
cided upon for grasshopper
control work.
. A nominal sack charge is
made, the agent said. The
county also has bait spreaderS
which can be checked out for
use.

Agent Offers
Tips on H.
Fitting Clothing

"Do you know what size to
ask for when you buy your
children'S clothes OR do you
just guess and hope that they
fit?" asks Miss C~leanentine Sit
tel Big Horn county demonStra-
ton agent. -
Nose women use the trial and
error method of holding the
garment up to see if it looks
like it will fit or of taking, it
out to have it tried on at home.
This method is hard on the
garment and causes a lot of
trouble in getting a garment
the right size.
Although very few children's
garments are labeled according
to height and weight, meas
uring the child will save time in
the long run IF a mother has
the measurements of the
youngSter, she can have the
dress of other garment meas
ured in the store to see if it
will fit. Studies show that in;
correct size is the greatest
cause for returned goods. Less
returned goods would mean a
saving to the customer, retailer,
and manufacturer
Children'S knit underwear is
manufactured according to
standards set by height and
weight, but few customers seem
to know this
Persons who buy children'S
| clothes from mail order COM
panieS have an advantage be-
cause they know the measure
| ments of the garments. In buy
| ing sight unseen" the customer
must know the exact measure
ments in order to get a salts
factory fit.
SaleSperSOnS complain that
| very few women seem to know
the measurements of their chill
dren, In fact, they are surprised
when a mother can provide the
correct measurements. There is
a program at present to get
children's garment manufac-
turers to label garments &C
cording to measurements, prob
ably height and weight, ra-
ther than the old system of
using ages.
when this program gets in
to effect, it's going to be more
important than ever for moth
erS to know their children'S
measurements. emphaSi2ed Miss

Says YeIIowtaiI
Funds viii
Be Requested

1G1lOWGd1 udIIl S dIllOllS ID
projects proposed for inclusion
in the Bureau of Reclamation
program for fiscal year 1858,
E. w. Rising of Washington,
D. c., told a group of Big Horn
County Chamber of Commerce
directors at a luncheon last
Friday at the Chuckwagon cafe
here.
He said that a total approp-
riation of 100000 would be
asked for the unit for the fiscal
year beginning July l 1852. To-
tai cost of the project is eSti-
mated at $99, $40, 90, and an es-
timated $2,271,200 has been
spent to June 80, 1851.
Rising said failure to secure
an appropriation for the pro-
ject this year was due to the
administrations policy of no
new starts of construction of
bureau projects. Attempts are
being made to overrule that
policy he said, and in that
event prospects for construction
of YelloWtail dam would be ex-
cellent.
In discussing the costs of re-
sources development, Rising
brought to attention a recent
statement by Senator Hayden
of Arizona, chairman of the
Senate Appropriations commit
tee, who stated that if all re-
sources development projects
now requested were adopted,
the total appropriation would
amount to only 1913 per cent
Of the total federal budget.
Preliminary suggestions on
the Is projects include the fol-
lowing information on Yellow
tail dam and 200,0 600 kiiowatt
power plant to be located at
the mouth of Big Horn canyon
about As miles southwest OF
Hardin.
Construction of the unit is
virtually Indispensable to the
development of approximately
44,0O0 acres of new land in the
| Hardin unit which will be sup
piled with water by pumping
directly from the Big Horn
river below Yellowtail dam, ano
it is also essential to improve
! and regulate the water supply
for 20 other proposed units 10
Gated along the Yellowstone
river.
Furthermore, the feasibility Of
these other units as well as the
number of desirable pumping
units along the Yellowstone
Tongue and Powder rivers is de-
pendent upon the availability oil
low-coSt power for pumping
| such as will be provided by the
Yellowtail power plant. Severa.
other pumping units along the
Big Horn river in wyoming viii
also be dependent on this
source of power, as the output
of the Boysen power plant il
absorbed by closer markets.
In addition to these benefits
the Yellowtail reservoir vii
provide badly needed flooc
control along the Big Horn
river.
Funds requested for 1876;
would be used for preparation
of designs and specifications
for the dam, power plant
SWitchyard and appurtenant
| structures, and the initiation Of
construction thereon.
Rising was accompanied here
from Billings by III. w. Bunstor
of the Reclamation committee
of the Big Horn county Cham
Der of Commerce.

Rippzing
of the Rivers

We were happy this week to
receive letters, poStmarked Al
gerie, from Bob Ruby and Pat
Fox, Hardin Boy Scouts now at
tending the World Jamboree at
Bad Ischl, Austria.
The Scouts wrote the letters
aboard ship on the "trip to
Europe, and both seem to be
having the time of their lives.
Each modestly told of the
others being chosen for the
United States Scout contingent
band, which was organized and
rehearsed during the ocean
voyage.
Pat plays solo coronet, while
Bobby is a first c%oronetist. The
pair are among 43 chosen as
members of the band from
among the $50 Scouts aboard.
The Hardin Scouts also have
other duties, Bobby being pa
troll reporter and Pat a cook.
Pat reports there are four
Scouts in their room, adding
that the meals are huge and
very good.
Those boys should come back
with enough material for
speeches to last for quite a
hitch.
This story's an old one but
we've just recently heard it,
and we think it's such a good
demonstration of an easy way
to make a living we'd like to
pass it on to any of our read
erS who may not have had the
benefit of the story'S CONNER
cial value.
Many years ago, when Hardin
was in its horSe-and-buggy
era, a ventriloquiSt breezed into
town and contacted a number
of local citizens with the prop
oSition of teaching them the
art of ventriloquism-for a
nominal fee.
Among the takers were such
outstanding citizens as Judge R.
A. VickerS, Roy Chambers, Dan
Maddox, Sheriff John Shreve,
and several others.
The group was uShered to a
"schoolroom" upstairs in the
building which is now Graham
Staunton Chevrolet Co.. and
after each had deposited his
tuition" on the table, the
stranger gave a short demon
Stration of his profession and
sent the students into an outer
room to practice. - .
With a true spirit of "larnin'"
the boys, in disguised voices,
began practicing to be ven
triloquistS with such routines as
the following:
Let me o-o-Out."
Where ar-r-re you"
Tim on the r-o-o-f."
; Come on dow-w-wn."
, Bring me a ladder"
While the class was thuSly
in session, a train whistle was
heard, and the students stood
motionleSS as their teacher
scooped the proceeds from the
table into his pocket with the
remark:
"Well, that's my train, boys,
