Agent Discusses
Use of


During the winter when the:
irrigated crops committee met
to discuss Big Horn county'S
problems for the Rural Progress
conference, crop rotation and
crop diversification, seemed to
be two important problems,
according to- Henry NJ. Kilpat-
rick, county agent.
Crop rotation was perhaps
the. most important topic" Kill
patrick said, land I believe it
should be if we are to insure.
sustained maximum yields. Ro-
tation tends to rest the soil
while we still get a crop from
it, and it also rebuilds the soil
when Iegumes are included
DiverSification is a sound
practice to follow because it in
creaseS the chances of having
more of the right product for
the higher markets and it also
inSureS. a steady income
throughout most of the year,
the agent said. Cattle and
SIl6ep are lmpOTGdIlG COIlIlIu-
entS in diversification. They
provide fertility for row crops
and retain fertility on the
farms.
THE use made of irrigated
pastures is great if we count
the number. of animals on each
acre" ths agent continued.
This concentration of live
stock brings us to a problem
that was not discussed in the
Rural Progress conference, and
this is parasites. RoundWorms
or stomach and small inteS-
tional wire worms pass from
animal to animal as their
numbers increase. Treatment is
beneficial, but management is
the keystone"
Now that grass is greening,
sheep and cattle will soon be
on pastures to make us aware
that they should be treated as
a crop and not as a place to
perpetuate parasites, the agent
said.

Big Horn county can look
forward to it's own televiSion on
a new station which may he
built in Hardin under a plan
of the Federal Communication
Commission, according to m
formation from washington, d
The FEC plan which has just
been adopted, calls for 40 new
stations in Montana. Most OF
them will operate in the ultra
high frequency rang, which is
an untapped section of the
radio spectrum. Use of this
UHF band and expansion OF
the present very high frequency
service should eventually per-
NIT nearly 1900 new television
stations in every section of the
nation, the report said. The
108 television stations now op-
Grating in the United States
are in the Wifi range.
Adoption of the UHF plan
in conjunction with the ex-
pansion of Wifi means the be-
ginning of a truly nationwide
television service, with visual
entertainment and education
brought to remote areas miles
from the nearest Cities" stated
DR.. C. B. Jolliffe, vice president
and technical director of the
Radio Corporation of America
which pioneered the develop
ment of UHF televiSion. eve
are ready to build the trans
hitting and receiving equip
ment to bring about this ma
tional television service"
The FEC decision to use UHF
for teleViSion is based on years
of scientific research and on
field tests conducted by RCA
and the National BroadcaSting
Co. at Bridgeport, Conn, where
in 1949 they built the country's
first UHF televiSion station TIC
operate on, a regular basis
These field tests, Dr. Jolliffe re-
POiSC0, OllO WIZ Ulldt OIlE WHICH,
properly allocated geographic
ally and properly used, was
comparable to service provided
by present VHF broadcasts.
When new stations are built,
home television receivers viii
follow quickly, judging from the
experience Of present televi-
sion areas. Based on the ma
tional pattern, Montana car
anticipate more than IS, 900 sets
a year or two after the new
stations begin operation, with
more than $500 sets in BIG
Horn county alone, the report
stated.

Ripping
of the Rivers

BY some queer coincidence
Easter Sunday proved to be a
day of unusual events in two
churches of Hardin.
At about 9 am. that day, fire
broke out in the Church of
the Open Bible, and at the
Congregational church a pew
collapsed during the Easter SER
vice.
The church fire, which start
ed in a Sunday school room in
the rear, was eXtinguiShed in
short order by the Hardin Vol
unteer firemen, and Sunday
school and Easter church SER
vices were conducted on Sched-
ule after the pastor, the Rev.
G. w. Hart, made use of the
air conditioning unit to clear
out the smoke.
Filled with Easter church-go-
ers, a pew at the Congrega-
tional church collapsed during
the service, causing no injuries
but, no doubt, giving its occup-
ants a slight scare. The SER
vices continued after only a
momentary interruption. .
Johnny Peters of Birney
strolled into the Lobby cafe
here last Saturday with the
idea of ordering a meal and
was surprised to see himself
pictured, in a 9-foot mural,
wrangling horses.
Johnny inquired where the
cafe had secured the picture
and was informed by the watt
reSS that the mural which
adorns a wall of the cafe was
furnished by Lyle Tintinger, Jr.,
of Hardin Photo Service, who
had taken the picture some
time ago.
When Johnny informed the
waitress that the rider in the
picture was himself he got an
other surprise a T-bone
steak, on the house - which
had been offered by the cafe
as a means of learning the
identity of the cowboy in the
picture.
A family had engaged a mar
rage broker to find a suitable
bride for their son, preferably
one with money. One night the
broker brought his candidate

Forward Movement
Started in 1905

OF course, the forward move
ment did not begin with the
Civil Rights Report. It was al
ready in motion. It had been
started in the 1930s. and had
gained momentum during World
War II.
1t looked for a while in 1946
and 1947 as if this progress
would come to an end. You re-
member that. after the first
World War, a wave of hate and
violence and Ku Kluxism swept
over the country. The problem
we faced after the second World
War was this: Would we have
to go through another expert
ence such as that, or could we
hold fast to the gains that had
been made?
We did neither. Instead, we
went forward. In many lines,
we have made gains for human
freedom and equality of oppor-
tunity that go far beyond any,
thing accomplished during the
war. And most of these gains
have been permanent. They
have been written quietly, but
firmly, into our basic laws and
our institutions. They will
never be undone.
These things have been &C
complished without dividing our
people. None of the talk about
the country being torn apart
has come to pass. These things
were done because people want
ed them to be done. There has
been a great working of the
American conscience. All over
the land there has been a grow
ing recognition that injustices
must 60, and that the way of
equal opportunity is better for
all of us.
The Civil Rights Report and
the Civil Rights Program give
voice and expression to this
great change of sentiment. They
are the necessary instrument
of progress. They are the trum-
pet blast outside the walls of
Jericho-the crumbling walls of
prejudice.
And there work is not yet
done. We still have a long way
to 60.
