moisture that was available and were in
condition to Withstand the hot, dry weather
that prevailed after that time. The result
is that yields in the northeastern counties,
the central eastern district and in the south
central, are turning out considerably better
than many expected. West central and
northwestern districts have enjoyed better
than normal moisture and growing condi-
tons.
As indicated by the August crop report,
Montana is producing the second largest
wheat crop in its history with above-normal
acre yields of other grains. The out-turn of
many irrigated crops will also be excellent.
This great production record, in spite of
limited growing-season rainfall in some inn
portant areas and excessive temperatures in
others, is thus due to a combination of fac
tors Of which the most Influential are good
.tillage methods, ample reserves Of soil
moisture resulting from above-normal mois-
ture in 1850, favorable June and early July
temperatures, and the general use Of good
seed varieties This has been a season when
good farming practices paid real dividends.

weaken the basic foundations of the econ
omy in the long run.
In years past these major economic
groups have done much to strengthen the
country's economy by bringing about a bet
ter balance of economic opportunity. In the
process of building up their organizations
and fighting for their detectives, many of
which were worthy, they have grown great
ly in political influence. The danger now is
that the leadership of these groups may tend
to seek advantage, rather than equity, and
lose sight of the longtime welfare of the
economy as a whole.
What is needed to avoid the dangers of
which Dr. Nourse reminds us is the develop
ment of real sense Of responsibility and
understanding among the group leaders.
And realization among the people that
there is still no such thing as something for
nothing.
It would be fine thing for all the people
and the whole economy if the top leaders
of agriculture, labor and industry would sit
down together and earnestly strive to arrive
at an understanding as to where the line of
proper balance lies. Such an effort might
fall short of full success. But an earnest at
tempt in this direction would at least elimin-
ate some of the misunderstanding and
dangers that now prevail.

''Croupism'' in America

MANY thoughtful observers of the ma
III tional scene are becoming increas-
ingly concerned over the ultimate effects of
@groupism" in America. By this term is
meant the tendency of the major economic
groups organized labor, agriculture and in
dustry-to make demands which may prove
detrimental to the economy as a whole.
One group insists that the government
inaugurate certain protective measures, or
measures that will help it achieve higher
income level. Then the other groups demand
comparable advantages. And then the proc
ess starts all over again. DR.. Edwin G. Nourse
refers to the dangerous possibilities in this
inflationary spiral in his book, 'The 195O's
Come First"
He is concerned too over the tendency
of people generally to demand from the
economy and the government more than
they are willing to contribute. He also fears,
as do most thoughtful citizens, that the MILF
tary will make excessive demands in the
name of national defense and that such de-
mands may seriously lower the standard of
living of the people and saddle them with
oppressive controls.
Nourse sees too little indication that con-
gress will reject demands that are excessive
but instead will permit continuous process
Of general initiation that may seriously

No Mystery About This Crop

WHILE Montana is producing one of its
~ greatest crops this season in spite of
beIow-normal, growing season moisture in
some districts, there is no particular mystery
about the relatively satisfactory yields OBJ
tanned under these conditions.
The north central Montana triangle"
a highly important producing area, enjoyed
favorable moisture conditions until mid
July. Temperatures were normal or below
during most of this period. And the we'll
TILED fallow ground of the year before had
benefited from heavy rainfall. With this
fine reserve of moisture in the soil coupled
with generally favorable growing conditions
of the current season the triangle" is pro-
ducing one of its greatest crops.
While growing-season moisture was
much less favorable in some of the other
important crop districts Of the state, mois-
ture reserves from the previous year were
generally better than normal. June, while
not too satisfactory from the rainfall stand
point, was comparatively cool, as was early
July. Grain crops made optimum use of

MYTH statesmen of all kinds and descrip-
w tions swarming over the countryside
these days it is well for farm and ranch peo-
pie to use care and judgment in order to
avoid buying some article Of doubtful value
or before signing some one-sided contract.
It is one thing to deal with fully au-
thorized salesman who represents some well
established and reputable local concern, or
who is selling standard product of recog-
nized value. But it is quite another to be
high-pressured into sales contract by some

finds that the charge is much higher than
he anticipated. And statesmen who offer to
inspect the furnace and then proceed to tear
It to pieces and exaggerate the defects so
there is little left for the householder to do
but buy new one. Then there are roofing
statesmen who get a signed contract for
job and proceed to put on material that fails
to stand up.
These are but a few Of the rackets that
are reported every season. Most Of these
costly experiences could have been avoided
with little care and reasonable amount
of sales resistance
When representatives of some little
known concern offer product or service
of uncertain value it is well to investigate
before buying or signing contract Often
times well known establishment of demon
strated reliability in some nearby COM
munity could perform the same service at a
lower price or with materials of better
quality. At any rate it does no harm to take
little time and compare product and price
before signing on the dotted line.
There are many honest statesmen, repre-
senting concerns of high standing, who
render a valuable service by studying the
needs of farm and ranch people and ac-
quainting them with services and products
that are Of real worth They are always glad
to present evidence of their identity and to
give full information as to the concern they
represent. They welcome investigation Of
the service or merchandise they have to
offer. Unfortunately there are also racket
GERS whose only interest is in getting your
money or your name on the dotted line of
questionable contract.
Yes, there are salesmen-an statesmen
When you are in doubt there is a good rule
to keep in mind before you invest, investi-

When you cut prairie hay early YOU

When you cut prairie hay early you get
less tonnage but more feed value. Tests in
Nebraska show that midseason cuttings
averaged about one-fifth more tonnage and
late season cuttings one-third more, than
early cuttings but it took about twice as
much of the late hay to add 100 pounds Of
weight on beef calves than of the early cut
hay The late hay was less palatable and
showed much lower protein content.
Grass-fat cattle will meet with an I'M
usually brisk demand from packer buyers
this season. The reason is that number Of
cattle in cornbelt and eastern feedlots is
down compared with last year. Cornbelt
states reported 9 percent fewer cattle on
feed July / than year earlier. States
farther east showed an even sharper drop.

 Crashes Near Palmer

Miraculously alive after their plane was completely demolished in a crash on the Wasilla road, are Roy Lee, owner-pilot, and his passenger, of Anchorage, C. J. Mccormick.
 Riding low, the engine of the plane "conked." Lee, owner of the Alaska Stationers, was taken to Providence hospital, Anchor- age, with head injuries which may prove a fractured skull. McCor- mick suffered multiple bruises but was on his feet and came to Palmer to survey the wrecked plane.
 Vic Gill, co-owner of the plane with Lee, was to look at the wreck and see what could be sal vaged-if any.
 Shortly after the wreck pass ing motorist took Lee and Me Cormick in for hospital examina- ton.

FIRE DANGER
 THREATENS AREA; WARNING ISSUED

Warning of critical fire haz- ard in this area was issued by both government fire guards and the Palmer Fire association today.
 E. J. Carson, in charge of the Palmer fire guard station, singed and weary from battling blazes in the big area which is under his responsibility, warned campers and fishermen that unless fires decrease some sections 'may be closed off entirely" He added: "We would hate to do this, but lives and property are at stake"
 Under his jurisdiction is the area from Knik bridge to Eureka and west to the Willow section. Every precaution is being taken for fire prevention, he said. Planes patrol the district daily, and advise the fire guard sta tionS.
 But during the past week bad fires swept through 25 acres of grass and down timber in the Little Susitna area near Bud Ov- ertons, between Is and 20 acres were burned near Gieselson's place beyond Matanuska adjoin- ing the experimental farm. The fire ate through heavy grass and into live timber.
 with the dry weather and wind that goes all directions, fire goes in a hurry" Carson said. He urged that areas where fires are built be protected by plowed furrow1 or bulldozer to keep the fires under control.
 He called for additional crews to sign on as fire fighters. Wages and subsistence will be paid. Fighting the fires in addition to fire guard staffs, have been army and volunteers.
 In Palmer, the fire association also was pleading for volunteers.
 Two fires last week would have wiped out homes and the hos pital except for instant action.
 At the hospital, the staff was ready to evacuate patients from the fire threatened structure as flames ate through the grass.
 A second grass fire behind the North Palmer store endangered homes. "A
 Ray Lancaster of the Palmer Fire association, urged motorists to clear the way when the fire trucks answer an alarm.
 We were seriously slowed down in answering the North Palmer fire because cars ahead o1 the fire truck would not pull over," he said.

Calls on Americans To Take AII-Year
 part in Freedom

ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska. Nov. Observing the advent of Armistice Day on Sun day. It. Gen. w E. Kepner, Com mander- n-Chief of the Alaskan Command. has called upon Ameri- cans to take an active part in the preservation of their countrys freedom
 In a statement issued, General Kepner said:
 Every November II, since 1918 Americans throughout the world have paused for one minute of silen, meditation. They have been asked to think, during the minute. of the men and women who have died in our country's cause.
 we must assume that every good American concentrates his minutes thought on our nations tumultuous birth, on it's swift and glorious progress, on the sacrifice of those who have fought for ano preserved it's high ideals, and or a fervent prayer for peace in the world. In these chaotic times, men and women must not go about theil daily lives satisfied that someone else will take care of matters.
 "Armistice Day is a solemn holi- day, but I cannot fill these para graphs with high-sounding, empty words. There is only one way for good Americans to observe this holi- day and all other holidays of patri- otic origin. That is to observe then every day of the year, and to take practical measures to be of service to their community and their country.
 An hour of voluntary civil de- fense work is worth a lifetime oi thinking about. A knowledge oi first aid is worth, perhaps, a life itself.
 Let us have a new approach to this thirty -year-old holiday. Let us today consecrate ourselves to the American way of life by resolv- ing to offer more Of our time, energy and talents to the preservation of our freedom. There is no better tribute to those who have given their lives for this very purpose
