FARM FIRE HAZARDS

Savings of q lifetime and even
lives are lost every year in farm
and ranch fires in Montana-stay
out of this group is the warning
of County Agent Robert Roush to
Glacier County farmers an d
ranchers in observing National
Fire Prevention Week October
40.
Farm fires cost American farm
ers ll3 million dollars and the
death of 5000 farm people last
year." he says, and here in Mon
tana we paid our share of this
terrible toll There is no way of
knowing how much suffering and
hardship this meant"
One of the slogans of this years
National Fire Prevention Week is
Fire feeds on Careless Deeds. y
1t may appear impossible that
carelcssness can cause fires-and
yet the USDA Safety Council
stresses that 95 per cent. of rural
fires can be traced to careless
ness and neglect.
To prevent fire the first step is
learning to recognize fire haz-
ards-and removing them. Some
of the most common hazards are
things like broken and damaged
tightening rods; defective and
sooty or poorly constructed Chin
neys; defective stoves or furnaces
and careless smoking habits; i'm
proper storage for gasoline and
/ other inilammaDle liquids and ex-
plosives: spontaneous ignition of
hay; unsafe wiring, overloaded
electrical circuits; worn cords
and defective electrical appli-
anceS.
In making inspection for these
and other "simpe" danger spots,
Roush suggests that it pays to
decide what to look for; to be
systematic about it. looking both
inside and outside of all build
ings; and inspect carefully. and
do it at least every six months.
| Fire control is the whole fam
ily's business" the agent points
out, so everyone on the farm
needs to recognize fire hazards
and remove them. But in case
fire should come, they need to
know what to do to fight the
blaze quickly"

Indian Problems Will Receive
Consideration of Congress-
ional Committee and Conn.,
missioner of Indian Affairs

Two important meetings
have been scheduled for
Browning during October,
both relating to Indian af.
fairs, which is problem
right now that Is attracting
much attention, both locally
and nationally. particularly
in those areas having a heavy
Indian population, and where
the few remaining reserva.
tions are located.
The first meeting is scheduled
for October 18th, when a large
delegation of congressman serv-
ing on the Interior Department
and Insular affairs committees
will stop here for a full halliday
hearing on Indian problems. The
second meeting will be few days
later, when Commissioner of In
dian affairs, under the chairman
will be here to confer with local
government officials, the Tribal
Coucil and individual Indians to
ascertain the attitudes of the var
ious groups and others toward
the governments announced pol
icy of terminating the ward stat
us of Indian people as rapidly as
possible.
Both hearings and meetings
will be of vital concern to resi-
dents of the Blackfeet Indian res
ervation, both Indian and white

Much interest is being shown
in the coming meetings, and a
large attendance is expected.
The following announcements
from Washington give details:

Two Important Meetings Scheduled
Benefit Organ Concert
At Methodist Church
Sunday, October 4

AS a first step in a campaign
to purchase a Baldwin Organ in
use at the Methodist Church of
Browning, a concert will be pre-
sented by the organist, Mr.. Don
Schmidt, on Sunday, October 4th,
at five O'Clock in the afternoon.
The purpose of the concert is
to present to the public music
written for organ as an instru-
ment used in divine worship. The
program will be of a nondevotion-
al nature in order that any inter-
ested parties from other churches
in the community may feel free
TO attend.
The organ, as such. is one of
| the most ancient of Instruments
having been used in a primitive
form by the ancient Romans dur
ing the barbaric games in the
Colosseum. The early Christian
Church adopted the organ for use
with their group singing, which
played such large part in the
worship Of the early Church. The
Catholic Church employed or
gans from that time until the
present, contributing the greatest
share to the music and develop
ment Of the instrument. AS pro-
testnat churches came into being
they, too, made use of organs in
their services, the Lutherans
making the greatest contribution
to organ literature in the music
of John Sebastian Bach.
AS the possibilities of the organ
were expanded concert halls, au-
ditOriums, and later even theat-
ers adopted them, spending in
some cases more than one hun
dred thousand dollars for single
large installations.
The small church. in remote
areas, still had the old problem
of cost and repair to contend with
until the present development Of
the modern electrOnic organ,
which has placed an instrument
of full tonal resources within
reach Of such groups at moderate
cost and negligible upkeep.
The program to be presented
Sunday afternoon will be as fol
lows:

Price Support Of
Agriculture Is
Mai or Problem,

farm areas indicate growing con
Germ over the agricultural situa
ton and perhaps increasing sup
port for high price floor.
Politicians are weighing the sit.
uation to see whether it forecasts
shift in the position of three big
farm organizations on the price
support question.
Falling farm prices and in,
comes, accumulating crop sur,
pluses and declining foreign mar,
kets have combined to create a
major problem for Congress
when it conveneS in January.
Scores of proposals are being
suggested, some by government
farm officials, some by members
of Congress, and some by farmers
and their organizations.
When congressi onal com
mittees get down to the task of
writing new legislation, question
of government price supports for
farm products is expected to be-
come a basic issue
On this question the major
farm organizations are not unit
ed. All endorse the idea of the
government placing floors under
farm prices designed to be fair
to farmers in relation to prices
they have to pay.
Three major farm groups have
contendeed that 80 per cent. of
parity supports are too high, ex-
cept in periods of scarcity and
other emergencies. They are the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, the National Grange, and
the National Council of Farmer
Co-operatives.
On the other hand, the Nation
al Farmers Union has favored the
so:called high supports. 1t would
put them at 1GO per cent. Of par
ity and keep them there year in
and year out. Furthermore, it
would extend the supports to
many crops and livestock and live
stock prices not now covered
The other three farm groups
have endorsed the idea of flexible
supports. Price floors would be
lowered in times of crop surplus
es, for the avowed purpose Of
discouraging overproduc i IN.
They would increase in times of
shortage to provide incentives
for larger production.
The issue Of high, rigid sup
ports versus flexible supports is
being raised at this time because
Congress must decide next Ses-
sion what to do about it. The
present 80 per cent. floors will ex-
pire at the end of the 1854 crop
season and flexible supports will
take their place unless Congress
changes the law.
From these meetings will be
drawn positions taken by the ma
tiOnal organizations meeting late
this year or early next year.
These positions will then guide
the farm organization leaders
when they present views on farm
Legislation to congressional com
mittees.
Significant is the fact that most
congressional observers are pre-
dieting that Congress will extend
the high supports beyond 1854.
and add some crops not now in

Good Growing
Season Aid To
Large Crops

The following summary of the
crop results for Montana for the
current year has been issued by
Will Gardner, state crop analyst;
The favorable growing season
and the delayed first killing frost
of fall have helped Montana
farmers to harvest and store one
of their biggest and best crops
Winter wheat and other small
grains are practically all harvest
ed. Haying is complete, except
for some small acreages of third
cutting now being put away. Next
week will see the operations of
potato and sugar beet harvests
in full swing, which will spell the
finale for the 1858 farming sea.
son.
AS of this date, September 28
most sections of Montana have
not had a killing frost. The aver,
age date for fall freeze is
around September 10, with rec,
ords of killing frosts in August,
and some as late as October. Thus
from the standpoint of heat units
and growing days this has been a
good season.
Precipitation has been way
above normal, with 19.49 inches
thus far compared to a normal of
1l.74 inches, and compared to last
years very scant TIA at this date.
The super-abundance of rain in
June was little more than we
bargained for. We could have
used nicely couple of inches of
that rain in July. AS it was, there
was sufficient moisture to pro.
duce good cereal crops on dry
land, two good crops of alfalfa
hay in the valleys and an abund-
ance of pasture for grazing
throughout the entire state.
The condition of winter wheat
at this time is good to excellent.
The inch of rainfall received ear
lier this month was just what the
farmers needed to make ideal
seeding conditions. Most of the
wheat is in now, much of it is up
and the fields are showing green,
which means that we are off to
another good crop year in 1854.
This is truly a marvellous wheat
country.
Comparisons show that there is
no place in the world where as
much quality wheat can be pro-
duced per acre with as little pre-
cipitation as can be done in this
part of Montana. Credit for this
situation goes to the natural
adaptability of our soils and eli
mate, to the skill of our scient-
lists in developing hardy, high
Yielding varieties and to the abil-
lty of our farmers to adopt new
and better methods of farming.
Such practices as strip farming,
trashy falloW and tn use of the
deep furrow drill have contrib
uted greatly to the success of the
wheat growing business in Mon
tana.
With the governments pro-
gram to restrict acreage and sup
port the price of wheat at 80 per
cent. of parity and with the fine
start we now have toward next
years crop there is every reason
to be optimistic about the pros
poets for those farmers engaged
IN the production of cereal crops
in Montana next year.

Bureau Of Animdl
Industry Refuses to
Lift Tortolu Cattle Bon

The Chief Executive has
been in communication with
the Veterinarian in Charge of
the Bureau of Animal Indus
try for Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands seeking a modi-
fication of the order which
prohibits the entry into the
United States Virgin Islands
of cattle from Tortola.
Governor de Castro has been
advised as follows: The regu-
lations stipulate that the i'm
portation of cattle from any
country known to be infested
with fever ticks (Boophilus
Annulatus Australis), the trop-
ical variety which transmits
splenic fever, is strictly pro-
hibited. Therefore, the impor-
tation of cattle from Tortola
into the United Staes or it's
territories is not permitted be-
cause it was found that Tor
tola has been reinfested with
fever ticks.
Until about a year. ago,
upon careful inspection by a
representative of this office at
the island of Tortola and other
neighboring islands of the
British group, it was re-
affirmed that these islands
were still free of ticks, but as
you know, recently we found
on a shipment of cattle from
Tortola into Puerto Rico that
some animals were infested
with fever ticks. This was
confirmed by a Veterinarian
brought by the Tortola autho-
rites who found Tortola in
tested with fever ticks.
"It seems to be an impress
sion that because the United
States Virgin Islands also have
fever ticks, importations of
cattle from the British islands
should be permitted, but as
stated before, the regulations
as they now stand do not make
any concession to permit the
movement of cattle in such cir
cumstances. Therefore, under,
t h e present circumstances
there is no possible way to
permit the importation of
cattle in the Virgin Islands &
Puerto Rico. To permit such
importation of cattle from Tor
