 Wally Atkinson, local trucker, atten-. ded the meeting to protest that he was not given chance to haul poles off the dock when the second and last load of poles came in July 4th. He said that he had gone to consi able expense to fit one of hjs trucks out to haul poles off the dock. During the period tetween the docking of the first boat and the arr1val 9d LUC SCSCuI NpdI IOod O4 p04GoS .SS01u son said, he was forced by high costs to cancel a pole hauling contract he had wi tn the HE4. mi s ar cement was for the hauling of poles from the Spit to the CT ec u on sites along the new power Nine.

Tice said that the poles are now being hauled for the line at S2.90 per pole.
 Ti ce told the directors that total of 131 applicant ons from the Houer-Cl am, Gulch area had been received for work on the new power line which is now underway.

everybody assumes that it comes out
equal in the end.
Well developed local cooperatives
have also played an important part in
French agricultural progress.
Parental Authority
Family life here is directed much
more by parental authority than in
America. Father makes the decisions
and the family is expected to abide by
them without question. In one family
1 asked son why they used certain
method of renting land Since he wasn't
quite sure, 1 asked the father. He ex-
planned that he received a greater per-
centage of the production by that
method. His two sons, who were doing
all the actual farming, were greatly
surprised to learn the reason, for they
had always accepted their fathers
word without question.
Women play an important part in
French farm life and are seen working
in the fields with their husbands. On
a dairy farm where 1 stayed the wife
rose early every morning to help with
the milking. After breakfast she worked
in the fields with the men. Since she
knew the farm well, everyone followed
her lead.
My summer in France has been most
interesting and Informative, and has
given me but brief glance at her
history and culture.

times as much as in the United States.
Despite the fact that France was
invaded during both world wars, had
livestock and machinery stolen and
farmers were forced to flee their homes,
she is still able to produce SURPRISES
of some farm commodities.
Life Full of Fun
stayed with a French family who,
as they put it, ''have a 3OO-year-old
house that is all falling down" They
have barely enough money to send the
three youngest of their seven children
to school and yet life is always full Of
fun. During the day we worked hard
but the evenings were occupied with
jokes and laughter, singing and playing.
One French host stated, 1--WE don't

only rarely. But we eat as we'll as you,
we sleep as well as you and we enjoy
life very much. think Frenchmen
have better life because we don't
have so much hustle and buStle.''
French farmers cooperate with their
neighbors by exchanging machinery
and labor. We helped thresh wheat for
a neighbor and he in return helped us
pitch hay. So far as l can determine
there is no system of payment, no ac-
counting of the number of hours at the
end of the year. When neighbor needs

tically all French farmers live in vii
lagos with their small fields scattered
over a large area.
Because of the large rural population
the average French farm is only SO
acres and 81 per cent of the farms are
less than Is acres. A system of inherit
ance by which the farms are divided
among members of the family by cut
ting strips in half lengthwise has re-
suited in farms of many small, widely
scattered plots. These strips are often
less than Is feet wide but may be
more than a quarter of mile long. 1
asked one farmer who had IS acres
how many fields he had. He tried to
count them but finally said there were
about 80, including his pastures.
Few Tractors
Because of the small, scattered fields
French agriculture is not too adaptable
to the use of modern machinery. There
is only one tractor for every 10 farms.
1t is very difficult for French farmer
to buy tractor because of the high
tariffs. And gasoline, kerosene, diesel
fuel and other fuels cost about three

French Farmers Work Hard
But Life Is Full of Fun
By DAVE LEUTHOLD

Dave LeuthOld is one of four Mon
tana All club members who have
spent the summer working on farms
in foreign countries. He has sent
Montana Farmer-StOckman the fol-
lowing account of his experiences
in France as an International Farm
Youth Exchange delegate.
AGRICULTURALLY, France is prob
ably the most important country in
Europe. She produces 81 per cent of
her food needs, as compared to the
European average of 20 per cent. Each
year France produces large SURPRISES
of wheat, meat, milk, beets and wine.
The average wheat yield in France is
29.1 bushels per acre, compared with
the us. average of 1873.
The area of France is smaller than
that of Montana and Wyoming COM
bined, yet about 45 million people live
there as compared with less than one
million in Montana and Wyoming to-
gether. Approximately half of these
people live in rural areas and about
one-third of the population make their
living from agriculture, either as farm
erS or as merchants, serving only
farmers in the small villages. Prac-
