Progress Meeting
Slated at :.
County Court House

Second rural progress meet
ing to he conducted in Big Horn
county will be held at the Com
munity room of the court house
in Hardin on Thursday Feb. Fl
at 1870 pm, according to an
nouncement by H. M. Kilpat-
rick, county extension agent.
Purpose of the meetings are
to present to the people tenta-
tive recommendations for agr1-
cultural Improvement. Livestock,
crops, agricultural resources, ir-
rigated agriculture, rural family
living and rural youth commit
tee chairmen will preside while
the respective topic is being
discussed.
Everyone interested in agr1-
cultural planning is urged to
attend and offer suggestions
which will help improve the
recommendations before they
are presented at a district rur-
al progress conference to be
held at Billings Feb. 20 ana
March 1.
IF farmers, ranchers and
businessmen are to gain intheir
planning and management dur
ing the next few years all must
cooperate instead of each try
ing to meet the problems in
dividually," Fitzpatrick said.
This conference is designed
to let people do their own
planning, but the results will
be worthless unless the recon-
mendations for future progress
are adopted, or approved with
notifications, by commodity
and service organizations and
other special-interest groups"
the county agent added.
The agricultural advisory
council for Montana State coll
lege, which is composed of
farmers and ranchers, advocat-
ed the rural progress confer

Sugar Resolution
Passed by
Montana c Of c

p. M. Rosenow and C.. G.
BounouS of the agricultural
department of Holly Sugar
Corp, Hardin district, were in
attendance at the meeting of
the Montana Chamber of Com
merce held in Bozeman last
week.
Of special interest to the
sugar beet industry was a reSo-
luton passed by the Chamber
on Feb. 9, the local men report
ed. :
The resolution petitions the
secretary of agriculture to take
! such steps as may be necessary,
either by further lowering the
consumptive quota for the cur
rent year or otherwise, to bring
about enough of an increase in
the price Of sugar to give the
growers sufficient incentive to
bring the sugar beet acreage
back to a point where the in
duStry in this state can again
operate on a profitable basis.
The resolution stated as reas-
ons for the petition the fol-
lowing: ?
Sugar beet growing and pro-
ceSSing has for many years been
a most important business in
the irrigated valleys of Mon
tana with as many as SO ,000
acres of beets grown and pro-
cesSed at five factories, which
are an important par of the
| states very limited industry.
By-products Of the sugar fac
tories have furnished the in
centive for large scale livestock
feeding operations, resulting in
a substantial contribution tic
the states economy.
There has been an alarming
decrease in sugar beet acreage
in 1851 with only $4,000 acres
planted, as compared to $4,000
acres for the preceding veal
and an average of $4,000 for the
period 1940-49, which trend il
continued will ruin the industry
in the state.
The relatively low price 81
sugar beetS in comparison with
the prices of competing crops
which are easier to grow is un-
queStionalbly the main reason
for the severe decline in acreage
A fundamental provision o.
the National Sugar Act require.
the establishment of a CON
sumptive quota by the secretary
of agriculture for the amount
of sugar which may be brought
into the continental United
States during the year in ordel
to provide a supply which will
be consumed at prices fair tt
the consumer and which vii
fairly and equitably maintain
and protect the welfare of the
domestic sugar industry.
The cOnSumptive estimate fol
the year 1852 was set at 7,7O0,-
600 tons, which, while it ap.
peared to be a reasonable eSti-
mate of the probable consump.
ton, has not been effective thu
far in causing any improvement
! in the sugar price.

". II. boss. chdlrmdn OF
the bomd Of trustees, point
ed out thdt the bodrd end
mdnY residents hove been
dWdre for some time Of the
urizing need for additional
facilities and thdt dction Wds
token Whenia mill levy Was
voted lost Yedr to rdise $40,-
600 for the purpose.
He stated it is the boards
belief that no question remains
concerning the need for con-
struction but the problem be-
fore the board at the present
time is whether additional
structures should be placed on
the present site or if another
site should be selected.
Ross stated that the board
has studied the situation and
advanced the opinion that on
the basis of financial POSSIBLE
tiles, it was deemed the sound
est plan to proceed to con-
Struct an addition on the
present location in accordance
with building plans previously
drawn by architects.
Other board members pres
ent, Sam Ragland and g. G.
Bounous, expressed their opin-
ions. Ragland stated that he
believed the present location is
not entirely satisfactory for ad-
ditional construction, but that
it may be the only possible
immediate solution to the prob
lem. He stated that future en-
rollmentS will certainly have
bearing on the construction
program and said he does not
rule out the possibility that
submitted plans (six clasSroomS,
offices and other facilities) may
prove to be inadequate in five
or six years.
The chairman explained that
bids had been opened on the
original plan of construction
and the board found that cost
of the project would far exceed
previous estimates. LS said the
planned construction would cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, and
added it was estimated if the
structure were placed on a new
location, addition of a heating
plant and gymnasium, costing
an additional approximate $780,
600 would be required. Also, he
said, cost of the site would have
to be considered if one was to
be purchased.
He pointed out that the legal
limit set by law for school dis
trict bonded Indebtedness is 5
per, cent of the total taxable
valuation of the district. Dis
trict 17-H has a current bond
ed indebtedness of $4,000, he
said, and it is estimated that
the district could bond in the
neighborhood of 5000, 600 before

Lewis and Clark and Cascade

Anderson said, and approximately

4 Short Story
By MARIE M. HARMON

had tried, but none of them had got
ten through the hard shell he'd built
around himself.
What would happen if they knew
he really could remember even the
craziest little things-like the color
of the roses in the parlor carpet at
home; the exact number of steps
from the sidewalks to the front doorl
Well, they would never know, be-
cause he had long since learned to
hold himself still against the surges
of such memories. They all believed
him now when he just shook his
head and said he didn't know things.
That's why he was ''Bill'' to every
one in the big hospital because he
couldn't remember, and because
there had been nothing left to iden-
tify when those natives had pulled
him from his flaming plane after it
had spiraled onto their remote little
island.
He had often wondered since how
long he had lain in that crude native
hut. Was it weeks, or months that
he'd endured the bistering heat
the sweat and pain and fever? There
was no way of telling, for time had
hung suspended while he waited.
And then one day they had come!
"He may still have chance if we
work fast it's miracle he's
stayed alive with that leg. -
He remembered their notes.-the
first he'd been able to understand in
a long, long time. After that had
come the blessed relief of deep I'M
consciousness.
WHY HAD HE stayed alive? This
question tormented him now, day
and night. They'd had no right de-
Gliding a thing like that, knowing
what they had to do. They'd no right
trying to stuff him back into the out
lines of the person he had been be-
fore. He wouldn't fit-why hadn't
they known he wouldn't!
He could imagine the news spread
ing like wi]dfire back home.
"Jim Blake's alive-after all this
time" people would tell each other
Hes badly smashed up, but alive
Poor Emily. It's a shock to her
he'll be quite care. We must helI

Blind anger frightened the muscles
of his jaw. He couldn't have gon,

want their pity-their easy jobs
