School Board of District No. TN
Studies Plans for Construction
OF Addition to Hardin Grade School
Work of Expanding
Facilities Hinges
On Election April 7

Preliminary plans for an ad-
dition to the Hardin grade
school building have been re-
ceived by the board of trustees
OF district No. 17-H and are be-
ing studied for adoption to the
needs of the school, according
to information from E. A. Skeie,
district superintendent.
Taxpayers of the district
will vote at the school election
Saturday, April 7, on the ques-
ton of an extra 10-mill levy for
one year which would net ap-
proximately $4,000 for the
project.
With the construction of a
vocational building at the Har-
din high school now in prog
reSs, the most pressing need of
the district at the present time
is additional clasSroomsr in the
Hardin elementary system.
At a visitation day sponsored
last year by the district for civ
ic and service club leaders, it
was pointed out the apparent
need for more facilities for the
vocational program of the dis
trict. The vocational training
program, or shop classes, which
have proven very popular and
successful in the district had
long since. overflowed the avail
Table classroom space, and the
need for additional, space to
broaden the course was readily
apparent.
Since this area is b~asica1ly an
: agricultural area, the feeling
has been general that a voca-
tionaI agricultural program
should be Offered to all stu
dents of the district. The vo ag
program had to be discontinued
during the last war due to the
lack of available instructors,
and has not been resumed
since that time, due partly to
the lack of classroom space.
The new vocational building
will also house the manual arts
department, which is now in
the basement of the Junior
high school guiding. Thus the
building will actually house
three distinct departments, vo-
cational agriculture, manual
training and shop.
Since junior high enrolment
faces a constant increase. re-
leasing the manual arts depart
ment to the new building will
relieve the present need for
additional classrooms in the
junior high school building.
If the proposed elementary
school construction carries
through the election, the board
will follow the same procedure
in construction which has been

A young Hardin artist is re-
ceiving many compliments on
her pencil portrait sketches.
She is Miss Alta Roberts, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Berry Rob-
erts, who is at present an en-
ployee of Fox Servicenter.
Miss Roberts has a natural
aptitude for this class of art
so much so that she won Sec
ond place at the Midland En-
pire fair on a sketch of a
western scene, which wasn't in
tended for competitive exhibit
ton.
The young artist, who has had
no special training, is a gradu-
ate of Hardin high school with
the class of 1850. She says her
present leaning is to black and
white mediums, and working
with color is something yet to
be accomplished.
Her subject, pictured above,
is Tommy Zelka, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ray Zelka OF. Hardin, Sc
nior and prominent athlete at
Hardin high school.

Says Inseefiicide
Not Available
For WeeWI Control

Due to production difficulties
bieldrin will not be available
this spring in commercial guam
titles for alfalfa weevil control,
according to a recent commun-
ication received from J. P. Cor
kinS, assistant state entomOlO-
gist, County Agent N. A. Jacob
sen said this week.
Wieldrin was one of several
insecticides used in alfalfa
weevil control tests conducted
in Big Horn county near Lodge
Grass last year. 1t was found to
the most effective and econom-
ical insecticide for alfalfa weev-
il control by entomologists of
the Montana Experiment Sta
ton.
Because dieldrin will not be
commercially available this year,
the recommended chlordane at
the rate of two pounds of tech
nical material per acre. In last
years trials, chlordane was
found to be the second most
effective inSecticide against
adult alfalfa weevils in early
spring application.
Alfalfa growers are warned
that while aldrin, another new
insecticide, may be available for
grasshopper control this year, it
IS not recommended for alfalfa
weevil control. Aldrin was used
in the Lodge Grass tests last
year and was found to be un-
satisfactory.
For most effective control of
alfalfa weevil early spring treat
ment of adult weevils before egg
laying begins will again be re-
commended. This can usually be
timed when the alfalfa starts
to, show new growth and before
it is two inches high.
Extensive tests over a period
of several years show that late
spring and early summer larval
control of alfalfa Weevils is un-
satisfactory under Montana con-
ditions. Control operation S
against larvae either on late
first cutting or on the stubble
after the first cutting is re
moved will not be recommended.
