Huge Crowd

Hundreds Stand
In Line For
Tags; Stickers
Come Tomorrow

Lines of hundreds of county resi-
dents formed at the courthouse
this morning to get their 1858
license tags and their new stickers
which permit them free passage
on the Overseas highway.
First 1858 tag receiver was Sam
uel Smart, 903 Francis Street.
Number 1 tag in the county is
held by Clarence Higgs.
The Tax Collectors Office tried
to keep up with the crowds; even
with five persons, including Tax
Collector Howard Wilson working,
applicants stood in line for almost
three hours waiting.
The stickers had not come in to-
day, which means that residents
will have to return to the court
house tomorrow and until February
20 and go into the office of Super
visor of Registration Sam Pinder
to swear out their affidavits. These
affidavits say that the applicant
has been bona fide resident Of
Monroe county for six months.
Today the disappointed stickers
seekers realized they would have
to make a second trip. Lines for

Wilson urges every person who
already has his 1858 tag and regis
tration to bring the registration

Those who have not applied for
either can get both tag and sticker
by going to Wilson'S office.
BY II this morning the line, was
crawling at very slow pace, with
only l04 license tags issued. The
patient seekers of tags chatted
about the unreasonable weather
while they waited.

LeMay, according to The Mon

vest. And this brings to mind grain
storage.
This is an ideal time to take in
ventory of your situation and to
provide for additional storage if
needed. Equally important is the as
surance that grain in storage will
be protected from the elements of
weather and from rodent, bird and
insect contamination.
We are all aware of the program
of the Food and Drug Administration
governing the sanitation of grain
moving into commercial channels.
Without doubt, the program is here
to stay and it is to be accepted as
necessary part of the farm operation
in the production of food for human
consumption.
Natural Advantages
We are in a most favorable posi-
ton in Montana as far as farm stor-
age is concerned, even over an ex-
tended period of time. The cool, dry
climate protects stored grain from
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1953-06-15

going "out of condition." providing
of course, the grain goes into storage
with less than IS per cent moisture,
with this advantage to begin with in
sects need not be serious threat
to our stored grain, and rodents and
birds are not difficult to exclude.
Marketing of grain direct from the
combine is the safest way to prevent
contamination. However, in most
areas of the state, early disposal is
not always possible, as not only stor-
age but transportation facilities are
damned long before the harvest ends.
With thought and attention given
to the storage problem this early in
the season costly losses from con-
demned grain can be avoided. When
erecting new storage facilities or re-
pairing old structures, eliminate pos
Sible harborage for rodents. A solid
concrete or brick foundation, extend
ing 8 feet below ground level, is
ideal. From there on it's a matter
of sound construction, keeping doors
and windows closed, and using metal
flashing or screen where necessary.
Then before grain goes into stor-
age, clean out bins thoroughly and
especially the cracks. Remove ac-
cumulations of waste or ground feed
from around or under bins, and
from nearby buildings. The first ap-
proach to avoid rodent or fowl con-
tamination is to eliminate a source
of food and water as well as living
quarters.
There isn't any question but what
proper storage is expensive. The loss
sustained from a carload of contain
mated grain is costly, too. So rather
than take chance with storage that
may be questionable, it would seem
that the expenditure in both time
and money for good storage is the
best insurance grain producer can
buy.
