when we'd worry cause we had
too much of cotton, corn and
wheat and such; from now for
ever more, he said, We'll have to
figure hard instead on how to
grow sufficient stuff so millions
more will have enough, which
means we'll sell whate'er we raise
and never fear depression days.
I hate to say, ''I told you So"
but I've been smart enough to
know that folks with neighbours
eagerness would get us in another
mess. They've worked too hard
to boost their yields by fertilizing
all their fields, they've sown new
tangled kinds of seeds and
sprayed to kill off all their weeds,
so even though the birth-rate's
high they grow more stuff than
folks will buy. The answer isn't
hard to see, if everyone would
farm like me we'd have no sur
pluses at all to threaten prices
with a fall; we'd not grow more
than folks can use if half the time
we'd rest and snooze.

Il Short Story
BY WILL K. BIRD

was Dan, head down to the snow,
using big flashlight and patrolling
the road. Sim knew then that Dan
had heard the shot and was watch
ing, that he would continue to watch
through most of the night and so,
burning with resentment, Sim had
to go back home. He had to let
the venison spoil, not daring to risk
a chance of his tracks in the new
snow.
1T WAS THAT move that made
him determined to get a moose. 1t
wasn't that he liked moose meat
particularly but he wanted to make
a fool of Dan to pay up for the per-
sistent DIGGING the man did. So he
kept thinking of different plans as
more and more snow fell and hard
winter set in.
Finally he set out his rabbit snares
along a feeder brook leading to a
marsh lake. Dan was trailing him
within the hour. Each time Sim
went to tend his snares for the next
three weeks Dan managed to be
around. Then Sim got ride along
the road for mile one morning and
walked in from another direction to
his snares.
He had no more than tended
them when Dan caught up with
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-12-01

VITHEN Dan Meekins got his ap-
w pointment as game warden in
Kan county, Sim Huskins was more
than a little elated. He had known
Dan from boyhood as a plugging
type of worker, wearing himself out
on small farm, never smart enough
to try a proper rotation of crops,
never changing from the farming
methods his father and grandfather
had used. Dan had a one-track
mind and he had grubbed away at
his gardening and potato growing,
keeping a few cows and hens until
his wife died, some folks said of
encouragement, and he was left
alone.
Then it was that somebody with
a kind heart had wangled the game
warden job for Dan, and he had
sold his cows and taken to patrolling
the deep woods and wild marsh
country that afforded such good
hunting. His one-track mind was
soon apparent. He went out all
weathers and worked all hours dur
ing the hunting season. He caught
three parties with illegal kills and
the fines were heavy in each case.
Dan did his duty as he saw it and
the law was his life and blood.
SIM GOT HIMSELF the deer he
was allowed as soon as the season
opened, then walked the woods for
a week afterward, having the time
of his life because he knew that
Dan was following him. One day
he sat on windfall until Dan came
along.
''You looking for me?" he asked.
'FYou got no business in here"
said Dan. you've had your deer"
There amt a law against bear
hunting, is there?" asked Sim.
NO." admitted Dan, "out there
haven't been bear in these parts in
years"
THAT don't mean there amt any,"
said Sim. I'm hunting them"
He watched Dams almost visible
mental struggle with the bear hunt
ing idea and could scarcely keep in
his laughter. Then Dan went along
on the trail of another party and
Sim back-tracked the way he had
come and had no trouble knocking
down doe he had known to be in
the area. He dressed the carcass
and toted it to the clear. Late that
night he carried it home and the
meat had a sweeter taste each time
he thought of Dan.
Sim got another deer when the
ground was frozen too hard fol

before an hour, and it did. Blu

him. 'T was having a drive into
town." said Dan, when l saw your
tracks. I'd know them any place,
and I figgered it wouldn't do no
harm to see what way you were
going"
TWO DAYS LATER Sim used a
wood road where half a dozen men
were cutting, and Dan followed him
in. He had picked Sims track from
dozens of others, as sure as keen
scented dog and when Sim got home
he sat and thought until his head
felt dizzy. He was certain there
was some way to avoid Dan but it
was hard to evolve plan.
When he did have an idea it was
one that would cost some money,
the price of new pair of shoe packs,
which might easily be fifteen or
twenty dollars. That was simply
too much cash for such cause and
when Sim went to town on Saturday
he tramped around until he found
small shoe repair shop on back
street.
The cobbler was taciturn old
fellow who seemed Indifferent to
anything but dollar. He grunted
something about Sim being nui-
sance and then rummaged around in
a back room and discovered an
ancient pair of larrigans that had
been half-soled. "Purty well gone,"
wheezed the old shoe man, ''but
they'll do when it amt wet weather.
All right on a frost. Have 'em for
a dollar, if you want" He went
back to his bench, indicating he had
no further time to waste over such
a customer.
SIM PAID the dollar with delight.
He had just what he wanted. He
wore his own shoe packs from his
house and down his long land and,
around a turn in the road and out
of sight of everyone, he changed to
the soled larrigans.
He struck into wild bush country
after getting his bearings but it was
almost dark and perishing cold when
he found a moose yard. He hid to
the windward of a path as he made
out a dark blur against the snow
and shot from thirty yards. The
moose 1eaped into deep snow and

tramping in the awkward footwear
and he cursed the brute's vitality
as he bled it. The cold jabbed at
his fingers. He was shaking by the
time he had opened the animal and
rolled the intestines on the snow. A
rising wind was lacing his cheeks
and as he tramped around, explor-
ing, he found there were only scant
willows and clumps of frozen weed
tops that could be used for fire.
Alarmed, he had sudden thought.
He went back and worked desper-
ately in a slashing attack that tore
the hide from the carcass.
1T WAS BIG and thick and heavy.
He rolled himself in the warmness,
with the furry side in, tucked him
self in tightly in hollow out of the
wind and resolved to wait until the
moon was high. Then he would
take a backload of steaks and start
for home. Well rested, he would
make the trip in direct route in
less than four hours. When he
reached the road he would change
again, and then let Dan try to figure
out where the tracks went. In a
way, he reflected, it was well it was
so cold. Dan would not be on the
lookout at three or four o'clock in
the morning.
The cold had made Sim drowsy
and when he reused he sensed it
was quite late, away past midnight.
He tried to move, and could not.
Panic gripped him. He exerted every
muscle, tried to fight. The envelop-
could not so much as twist enough
to free a knife arm. His fear
mounted. He shouted himself hoarse,
knowing there was no one to hear.
He struggled until he was exhausted.
Time and again he reused to do the
same thing, and each time his
despair was deeper. When he heard
Dams voice telling him to be still
he could scarcely believe it.
DAN CUT HIM loose and Sim was
so stiffened with cold that he found
it hard to stand. There were no
accusations or questions as every
thing that had happened was written
there in the snow. Dan took Sims
rifle to carry, went to the woods
and there made fire and boiled
tea in a can he carried. The hot
fluid thawed Sim and at last he
could stop his shaking. When he
was more recovered his curiosity
overcame him.
''You've got the goods on me this
time, Dan,'' he said, "and that's that.
But will you tell me what made
you come here? Do you know every
track you see?"
NO." grunted Dan, 81 don't, and
that's fact. But I've made it my
job to know yours. But 1 were
going to town yes'-day and if 10
seen your tracks going in to youl
SHARES same as usual 1 would have
gone. But seen them tracks you're
making with them larrigans and
got notion to put off going to towr
and do patrol up the lake."
"But I can't make out sense ii
that" said Sim. "How did you know
