Fuvors Harvest

Good weather this week favored
the FIathead that had wet Aug
ust and early September that STALL
ed the harvest.
James Gustin, Kalispell Feed
and Grain Co. manager, Thursday
morning said there was excellent
progress harvesting, but that the
grain was still wet.
There has been heavy dew, and
the straw even in the warm days
has tended to suck moisture up.
However the dry weather turn this
week was described by him as
wonderful"
BY early next week the Flat
heads grain harvest of 1854 is ex-
pected to be completed. Wet wea-
ther during late August and early
September knocked virtually all OF
the Flathead wheat quality to the
extent that No. l wheat isn't COM
ing off the fields.
Estimate of the damage was over
20 per cent and at least $500, 900.
The 1854 crop was termed by
Walt Mauritson, county agent, as
average yield, below average
quality and less cash return than
last year.
Meanwhile lack of frost in the
Flathead valley sees local gar
dens and flowerbeds growing un-
usually well for late September.

Park Neurs End Of
Good Fire Yeur

WEST GLACIER-Glacier Ma
tional Park is nearing the end Of
one of its least destructive forest
fire years in history.
Fires for the year so far stand
at seven, according to Lynn Coffin,
assistant chief ranger in charge of
fire control. Three were lightning
started and four man caused with
total damage contained to less
than half acre.
This compares to the parks most
favorable fire season on record,
1850, with five fires and no meas
urable acreage burned.
Helping the park with its cur
rent near fire free year was Aug
ust with a record 5.14 inches of
rain at West Glacier. Every month
of 1854 except May has had above
normal precipitation. May had 2.13
inches. Normal is 2.18.
The season also saw July with
out fire. 1t is believed to be the
first July since Glacier became a
national park in 1910 that there
hasn't been a fire.
Present years are in contrast to
Glaciers past. During the 1920s
fire loss averaged 5000 acres a
year; during the 1930s it was 1,050
acres a year continued Ranger
Stan Spurgeon, the parks fire
cache dispatcher; then in the 1940s
it dropped to 135 acres lost year;
in 1945 the figure dropped to 1.6
acres.
The parks fire control head
quarters staff that includes Coffin,
Spurgeon, and Ranger Paul Berger,
assistant dispatcher, attributes the
reduced fire losses to weather, su-
perior methods of detection and
suppression, and a better informed
and more cooperative public.
The 1854 tally shows all the fires
burning less than a fourth acre,
class A, and they were as follows:
Apgar incinerator, May IA; Slifer
sawdust pile, Aug. 8; Lee creek
camper, Aug. 4; Heavens peak
lightning strike, Aug. 8; Two Med
icine smoker started, Aug. 10, and
Summit mountain, lightning, Aug.
II.
Last fire in the park was near
Lime springs on Apgar mountain
caused by a lightning strike Sept.
IL, and destroying six-hundredths
of an acre.

trict Sept. 2.
Of the fire total, 10 were man
caused and % lightning, reports
Carter Helseth, dispatcher.
A total of ITO acres was burned

Xix Hunting Season Starts Mediocre

SPOTTED BEAR-A mediocre
early hunting season is reported
from the upper Flathead's South

goats in this roadless area.
Ranger Charlie Shaw at Spot
ted Bear said that lot hunters were

oring is evident though the larch

open to either sex in the upper
South Fork with the area enlarged
to include Spotted Bear river and
also the upper portion of the Flat
heads Middle Fork drainage. This
area is also without roads.
Regular elk and deer hunting
season over the whole Flathead

Glacier Charting

WEST GLACIER-A two-inch
snowfall blanketed the Many Gla-
cier valley in Glacier National
Park just as scientists were pre-
pared to make their annual study
of Grinnell glacier to see if the ice
mass had increased or decreased
in size since last year.
While the new snow soon dis
appeared in the valley, it was felt
that up to foot fell near the gla-
cier, making measurement of the
ice mass itself this week imprac-
tical.
Grinnell glacier covers about
$50 acres. With temperatures
slightly below normal and precip-
itation above average, glaciers in
the national park have been hold
ing their own for the most part in
recent years. Previously they had
been shrinking rapidly.
The u. S. weather bureau gauge
at Grinnell glacier for IL months
this summer showed a record 1873
inches precipitation, and indica-
tions of snow depths at one time of
at least 16 feet.
Here to make the Grinnell gla-
cier survey this week was Arthur
Johnson, Washington, D. c., glac-
ier expert for the U. S. Geological
survey, and chairman of the Com
mittee on Glaciers for the Ameri-
can Geophysical union. Also here
was Fred Johnson, Tacoma, of the
U. S. Geological survey. They left.

naturalist, plans to make the gla-
cier measurements later this fall
