JeIIen Stores Are Cited
For Lack OF Accidents

Frank r. Jel1en yesterday re-
ceived an Award Of Merit in
recognition Of the the fact that
his stores operated from Sep
tember 20, 1852. to March /. 1858,
without a single employe-acci-
dent resulting in loss of time.
During this period employees Of
the stores worked a total Of L.
194. 900 hours.
The award. given by the Lib
erty Mutual Insurance Co., is
conferred upon business policy
holders who qualify as having
made conspicuous achievement
in accident prevention" The
presentation was made by Grant
B. Grif11ths. manager Of Liberty's
Washington Office.
The record of the Jelleff stores,
according to insurance and store
officials. is the result Of a COM
prehensive accident prevention
plan designed by the insurance
company and vigorously applied
by store officials over the past
several years.

Hearing 10 Resume
Monday on Plea for
Transit Fare Raise

The Capital Transit Co. rate
case. running longer than antici-
pated, Is slated to continue be-
fore the District Public Utilities
Commission at 10 am. Monday.
The company. which has been
presenting its case since last
Wednesday. had hoped to wind
up yesterday. But extended
cross-examination has prolonged
the proceedings.
Part Of this time yesterday
was taken up by Commission
Counsel Lloyd B. Harrison while
Robert e. Harvey. company con-
troller. was on the witness stand.
Mr.. HarriSon's line of inquiry
was aimed at the company's con-
tention that 1t needs q 10 per
cent rate Of return on its in
vestment to compensate for the
business risks that surround q
transit utility.
Wolfson Purchase Cited.
The commission counsel re-
ferred to the Louis Wolfson
groups purchase of the majority
Of Capital Transit stock in
September. 1949. for a total of
$2.4 million.
Does the fact" asked Mr..
Harrison. that the Wolfsou in
terests paid $40 per share for
stock that had a book value of
500 represent a risk, in your
mind?" s
"Yes. it certainly does" MIR.
Harvey responded. Many local
bankers and businessmen re-
fused to do just that, because
it was too great q risk to their
way Of thinking"
Mr.. Harrison then went into
the company's dividend-paying
policies Of the last three years.
These dividends, based on the
old stock. before it was split four
for one, were so cents per share
for the last part Of 1949. So for
1850. 81 for 1851, $3.50 plus q $40
Evening star., 1953-06-06

special dividend in 1852 and
$500 for the first half Of 1858.
They come to q total Of $26.30
per share in dividends since the
new controlling interests took
over.
Surplus Figures Given.
The commission counsel also
ELECTED company surplus figures
from Mr.. Harvey: At the end
of 1949. the surplus was $780,
258, compared to $3.716,915 as
of last March. The $40 per
share special dividend Of last
year accounted for most Of the
difference. A company spokes-
man added that yearly earnings
paid for the other dividends.
Mr.. Harrison wanted to know
about this drop in the surplus.
Mr.. Harvey'S explanation was
that, by paying out bigger divi-
dends. the company made up a
deficiency in earnings" to which
the stockholders were entitled.
Earlier in the day. the con-
troller declared that, unless the
commission acts promptly and
favorably, Capital Transit may
have to return next year with
another request for q rate in
crease. Mr.. Harvey also made
a strong argument for elimina-
ton Of the weekly pass, which
he described, as in previous rate
hearings. as discriminatory
against the company and tran
sit riders who pay cash and
token fares.

Cheviots always had the best per
cent lamb crop.
Then in 1881 1 sold the sheep and
bought cattle and kept them for
few years, but I always intended
some day to get some registered
sheep.
1 moved then to Wyola, Mont,
with my cattle in the year 1910,
working, renting, farming little
until we came to Reed Point in 1916.
My wife and 1 purchased three Sec
tons just north of Reed Point. We
have raised wheat and cattle for the
last seven years, both have done very
well, but if in case of drouth,
neither would be so good.
So last winter, while sitting
around watching the wheat land
blow away, decided to go back to
raising sheep, as we have good set
up for small band, and also keep
about 80 head of cattle.
From two Nebraska breeders 1
purchased 81 Cheviot ewes, three
buck lambs and the reserve cham
pion ram of the Iowa stud ram sale
in 1851. He is years old now. also
have $50 Rambouillet and Columbia
ewes bred to the Cheviot rams. This
is our new start in the sheep bust
ness, and hope to have nice flock
of Cheviot crosses in few years.
We plan to keep 80 head of regis
tered Cheviots from now on as there
should be good demand for the
rams in the state of Montana. We
have the right kind of grass for them.

upset the outfit twice. Loss of time
and cost of repairs was serious, so
something had to be done.
I figured that widening the base
and adding extra weight would solve
the problem. Using a railroad rail
for an axle did the trick. With this
new heavy axle, I spread the two
steering wheels to 10 feet 10 inches,
outside measurements.
Now we have no trouble. The
equipment is so stable that my wife
operates it easily. After the hay is
bucked up to the stack, with her
running the Farmland and me on
the stack we can build a 12-ton stack
in about Ia hours.
The outfit is the most useful piece
of equipment we have on the place,
as we also use it for threshing,
butchering and other operations.

Waste Water Can Be Made
An Asset to Your Farm
By DONALD ELINGS, Pomdera County

quarter and use it for hay produc-
ton.
1 was well satisfied with that
arrangement, but found 1 still had
waste water at times and this
drained across another 80 acres,
leaving the draw wet. Usually it
happened at a time when wanted
to summerfalloW or combine that
80, so 1 always had to handle the
draw separately.
Grass Waterway
Finally, l seeded it down for
grass waterway and use it for hay
or pasture when l am short. In
stead of using just so or so feet of
the draw-about all the waste water
would irrigate we'll / surveyed
ditch on each side of the draw SO
that 1 could pick up waste water
from the rest of my farm to irrigate
at any time. 1t gives me six acres
in all. When it needs to be fenced,
l use electric fence mounted on
half-inch rods four feet long. The
rods can be quickly taken up or
put in by hand. Another thing
about the bitches alongside the
draw: They carry normal amount
of waste water so the draw can be
kept dry for haying. But in case
of flash floods or excessive water,
it just goes down the sod waterway.
In the future 1 plan to seed a
mixture of alfalfa and bronze on
the lower side of all the large, per-
manent bitches to hold down-or
rather make use of-another kind
of waste water, seepage. Seepage
in this area is becoming quite
problem and alkali is showing up
in several places. 1 believe if 1
can get a stand of grass and alfalfa
along these bitches in widths of so
to $50 feet, 1 will have enough hay
for present use for my feeding pro-
ject while making best use of this
problem land. 1t will also control
weed growth on the ditch banks.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1953-10-15

MY FIRST experience with an
irrigation shovel was on very level
land where we used bitches more
or less as bikes, and had very little,
if any, waste water. The land had
a natural wasteway right at the end
of the field. l didn't, at the time,
appreciate the value of that land,
ideal as it was for flood irrigation.
When I married and purchased
my own farm, I found waste water
was quite problem. My farm has
more slope and several draws. My
biggest trouble was on alfalfa and
pasture, as the water ran so fast
1 had poor penetration and lots of
waste water. I noticed that some
hard-to-get spots on which I would
let the water run extra long pro-
duced almost twice as much as the
rest of the fields.
In the past eight years, though,
I have been experimenting with
bitches, and I now have my fields
rearranged so 1 can use more of
the waste water.
Back Into Lateral
For example, pull two bitches
on the contour with an approximate
fall of two inches in 100 feet. Then
survey another ditch from hear
the end of the lower contour ditch
back to the feeder ditch which feeds
lower contour bitches. In this way,
1 can hold most of the water on
the field and give it a good soaking,
and the excess drains from the field
back into the feeder ditch. l use
this method on alfalfa and pasture,
where the bitches are more or less
permanent.
Most of one quarter section of
my land drains to the borrow pit
of the county road. I pulled up
the fence along the road and had
the area back-sloped. Then I seeded
a strip about 10 rods wide to alfalfa
and bronze. Here again I can pick
up waste water from the entire

CheviOt Sheep
Can Take 1t
By EARL T., CECIL D. ALLEN
Saltwater County


MY EXPERIENCE with Cheviot
sheep started more than 20 years
ago, although 1 have been in the
sheep business most of my life.
About the year 1928 I had a small
ranch at Shell, Wyo., and owned 200
head of sheep / had a neighbor who
owned about 600 head of sheep,
which were a cross of Cheviot and
Rambouillet, and when he sold out
] bought 100 head from him. l had
noticed how much better mothers
and lambers they were, and they
could raise twins as well as or better
than other sheep raised singles.
I pastured or ranged these Cheviot
ewes with my Rambouillet ewes for
several years. They stood the cold
winters, dry weather, short feed so
much better than the other sheep,
and when l had to start feeding
about Feb. l, all my sheep would be
needing feed except the Cheviots.
They would be fat and looking good.
In my first lambing with these
Cheviot ewes, they made 200 per
cent-one single lamb and one set
of triplets. All the rest had twins
and raised them, too. From the
whole bunch of sheep of 300 head,
sold IT'S per cent lamb crop. The

AROUND
OHIO
BY George L. Zeis

The passage of Bill 48 by the
Ohio Legislature will make it
necessary for swine feeders to
have garbage cooked before being
fed to swine. The bill passed the
house by a vote of 108 to A and
the senate 80 to 0. 1t will go into
effect October 2.
A recent survey by the Division
of Animal Industry, Ohio Depart
ment of Agriculture, showed that
better than 300 sparate establish
rnents have been using garbage
to feed to their swine. Some of
these are big operators and some
are small.
In most instances it becomes
the responsibility of the feeder
to have the garbage cooked and
not the place from where it origi-
mates. Some municipalities may.
however, have to buy the neces-
sary equipment to cook garbage.
Otherwise, there would be no
practical way to get rid of it.
Cost of installing cooking
equipment may vary anywhere
from $10O to SIS, 1000 depending
upon the size of the feeding
operation.
There are certain types of gar
bage feeders who will not have
to cook the material. This in
cludes those who feed vegetable
CARRIAGES. Neither is the indivi-
dual farmer required to cook
his own garbage.
A temperature of 212 degrees
farenheit for 80 minutes is neces-
sary to kill the We organism in

Lean Hogs Can

Hogs can produce lean, meat
type carcasses and still make fast

We've shown that fast gains do
