More than $4,000 veterans re-
ceived CT 4 percent home loans
from private lenders during tne
month of September, the hlgnes'
volume since December, 1901

ed.
Despite a general Tightening up
of the mortgage market, an aver
age of $4,000 verterans a montil
obtained CT home financing our
ing the first six months OF l9ol'
VA said.
A low of 22,2S5 home loan ap-
plications was received during
May, 1852. Since that time, the
volume of CT home loan appllca-
lions has been increasing steadily
During September, VA received
28,5O1 home loan guaranty appll-
cations from private lenders OF
lending institutions.
Although the national monthly
total of CT loan applications IS
substantial, VA said that geo.
graphically the market is out OF
balance. Some areas in the nation
have an adequate supply of 4 per-
cent CT loan money while other
areas have little or none at all.
This geographical unevenness is
not unique in the CT loan field,
VA pointed out, but has always
been a general characteristic OF
the overall mortgage market.
The recent renewal of the mort
gage purchase program of the
Federal National Mortgage Asso-
ciation-a Government corpora
ton which buys CT loans from
private lenders-Will help to boil
ster the CT loan money supply in
many communities, particularly
where the supply of private capt.
tai is low, VA said. Early in Sep

proximately 400 million for over

take them at night and it really
works out OK.
Our losses have been less than with
herders and the sheep do better.
They keep their lambs with them all
the time and run about like cattle
do. After the lambs are sold or cold
weather comes, the sheep bunch up
again and camp on the best feed
grounds. Don't know why, but they
seem to depend on the herder too
much the other way. They get pretty
wild our way but we always have
few that will come for grain and we
can lead them better than we can
drive them. Don't even have a dog
any more.
When we started to fence for sheep
it looked foolish on account of
coyotes; some people even thought
the sheep wouldn't go to water alone.
We could build mile of fence for
the cost of herder a month. We
made a post hole digger-couldn't
buy any .then-and used "a to 35-inch
woven wire with two and three
barbed wires on top. Have 10 sec
tons sheep tight and where we run
the cattle in summer is four-wire.
We have about 80 sections fenced
altogether and believe around 1000
ewes and 200 cattle would be right
amount to winter. We have had close
to 1900 sheep and 1923 cattle but
that's too many.

1t is a beautiful sight to see rows
of newly planted Evergreens against
the dark soil.
Chokecherries, plums, sandcher-
ries, and other fruit trees together
with golden willows, asparagus,
pocket knives and billfolds were also
planted.
Opinions about proper spacing diff
fer. The average spacing for trees be-
between rows would be II to IA feet
and feet between trees within rows.
Shrubs in hedgerows would be 3 to
4 feet within rows.
There is little on farm that gives
more Joy than a well planted grove

Fences Better Than Herders
For Handling Sheep
By RALPH and KENNETH ROBERTSON
Garfield CoHaztr

THE REASON we got started in
the sheep business is that when we
were little we used to go to the sales
everyone had sale and moved
but US, it seemed, and we noticed
that the sheepmen were the only
ones that had checkbooks at the
sales. We were lucky to have a
cream check along.
We finally got band and started
hiring herders. The coyotes got up
to 200 lambs year anyhow and we
started fencing. One of us learned to
fly so we could kill the coyotes and
by doing that our losses weren't too
bad. Now they have 1880 and our
troubles are over on that. Did kill
six coyotes last winter but they are
definitely under control. We killed
over 100 coyotes the first year.
We fenced Is sections in pasture
for summer use and have a winter
pasture of 2 sections. Have sections
in another to put the ewes and lambs
in after lambing until they get
started better and before turning
them out in the dissection pasture.
We lamb in smaller pastures of one
section each-lamb one or two days
and then move to another. Never
move the new lambs that way. One
of us can handle 1000 ewes easily
in good weather-the other farms.
In storms, though, the farmer" can

in charge. He transported the planter
on light trailer behind a pickup.
Approximately 800 miles were
travelled in covering the county.
Trees planted were American Elm,
which is rapidly taking the place
of Chinese Elm. Only one planting
of the latter was made. Ash trees,
although rather slow in growing,
are still very popular. Cottonwood
should not be used.
The Montana State Nursery at
Missoula, which furnished all the
paintings, sent out very good seed
ings. Russian Olives and Caraganas
are much in demand for outside
rows. Many spruce were planted.

Plant Trees for
Beauty, Shelter
By CARL HUNTER, Chairman
RicbIand County sc District

THE PRODUCTS of trees are al
most unlimited, but they are chiefly
valuable for their beauty and shelter,
both much needed on our windswept
and treeless plains.
What is a home? A few weather.
beaten buildings in more or less dis
repair and sadly in need of paint
sitting alone on bleak, windy
prairie, or a house snug in we'll
kept grove, well sheltered from the
wind and drifting snow? In the win
ter time the drifting snow accumu-
1ates among the trees, leaving ave-
nues of travel passable. Pheasants
and grouse congregate among the
trees, though not always in peaceful
harmony.
The basic requirements of trees
are light, heat, air and moisture.
Eastern Montana has a sufficiency
and some to spare of the first three
requirements, but the lack of mois-
ture is a great handicap. For success
with tree planting, clean summer
fallow is an absolute must. The
work of preparing the land for plant
ing trees is not difficult with me-
chanical power available.
The work of the actual planting,
however, is different and that in
wolves much manual labor at busy
time when help is hard to obtain and
is expensive. This problem has led
to the use of tree planting machines
Information about those machines
may be easily obtained from county
extension agents.
With planter, trees are firmly
planted in moist soil. This is very
hard to do by hand. Three men with
the planter and a light tractor car
plant up to 1000 trees an hour. The
difference in survival of trees planted
by machine or by hand is very de
cidedly in favor of the machine.
Richland county ordered approx
mately 10000 trees to be planted il
the spring of 1852. Approximate,
$4,000 were planted by machin

From.Brush Plot
To Beauty Spot
By PETE KING
Hot Springs County, Wyoming


Gated directly north of the house and
above the canal, so it most certainly
can be considered dryland.
The winter of 1949-1950 in this
neighborhood we had practically no
snow and no submoisture. To begin
with this land was cactus, grease
wood, sagebrush and harvester ants.
AS we were afraid to use our rub
ber-tired tractor to clear this land
on account Of the cactus and grease
wood, we pulled the old steel
wheeled tractor out of retirement
and hooked it onto two-bottom
gang pillow and took to it in the fall,
blowing about IA inches deep.
Planting at Busiest Time
When the trees arrived in May
(when we had the most work to do
in the fields, of course) we plowed
one furrow the length of the shelter
belt for each row of trees, then dug
a hole measured distance distance
varies with species of trees) with a
shovel, in the bottom and slightly to
one side of the furrow. After the
holes were all dug, we hauled water
from the canal in barrels on stone
boat pulled with tractor and filled
every hole with water.
Next morning we filled all the
holes again, then unbundled the trees
and set the trees by hand. Most of
the holes still had water in them, so
the trees were practically mucked
in.
After all the trees were set in we
went all over the rows and spread
dry dirt around each tiny tree, leav-
ing a low place all around the tree
below the bottom of the furrow as
mulch. AS we were very busy, we
didn't water them again or go near
them for two weeks. BY that time
they were all 1eafed out and looked
good, with the exception of few
here and there. Upon investigation
we noticed that the harvester ants
were chewing the leaves and limbs
off the trees, keeping them bare. We
tried crankcase oil, DOT and Cyno-
gas on the ants, but they were just
too tough, So we contacted our coun-
ty agent and it so happened that he
had just received a trial amount of
a new powder which he gave us to
try out. 1t worked almost like magic.
Weeds Kept Down
We kept the trees and land clear
of all weeds by discing and hand
hoeing. By July we had pump and
pipeline rugged up in such way
that we can start the engine up and
let it chug away all day while we
do our field work. All the rows get
water and leaving hole below fur
row bottom leaves water around each
tree and so on down the furroW.
We are happy to say each ant
every tree we planted lived ane
made a very good growth in spite
of the fact we never had rain al
summer.

CAUSES OF


Inattention, negligence, and IA

being among the chief traffic ac-
cident causes.
He called attention to the Fla.

which showed that inattention
and negligence caused 1908 &C
cidents, twenty-nine of them
latal. Fatigued and sleepy drivers
we're responsible for 579 COLI

appear to be a pig problem, but,
in reality, it isl quite Serious"
Kirkman said. He added that in
attention, negligence, and ia
t1gue denote the condition or at
titude of the driver at the time
of the accident.
"It is possible that many acci-
dents were prevented when the
driver became aware of his con-
dition in time to keep from hav-
ing a collision" he added.
He urged motorists to be alert
to the business of driving a motor
vehicle when they are in traffic.

Campus Roundup
NEGRO SCHOOLS LOSE ONLY
8 PER CENT WHILE WHITE
SCHOOLS LOSE 8 PER CENT

Enrolment in Negro inStitu-
tons declined only 3 per cent last
fall as compared to 8 percent for
other colleges and universities.
That fact was revealed in re-
port by DR.. Martin D. Jenkins,
president of Morgan State col
lege,, in his annual survey -
Current Trends and Events of
National Importance in Negro
Education" - in the Journal Of
Negro Education.
Some lot schools reported a
total enrolment Of 60,801 for the
fall term of 1882. The report
ed decline probably would have
been greater, DR.. Jenkins said,
had it not been for an increase in
the enrolment of women while
male enrolment showed a mark
ed drop.
Historically, women students
have constituted about 60 per
cent of the total enrolment in
Negro colleges and universities,
an almost exact reversal of the
situation in American institu-
tions generally. =
Of the total undergraduate en-
rollment reported, there are
35,541 males and $4,000 females.
Publicly controlled institutions
account for $50 per cent of the
total, or 33,921, while private
schools have 44.2 per cent or
26,880.
