FIotheod Ships First
Cherries to Denver

KALISPELL - First carload of
Flathead cherries was shipped
from Kalispell bound for Denver
Thursday.
The Flathead L axe Cherry
Growers, Inc, warehouse in Kalis-
pell Thursday was employing 300
women and girl packers, and about
so men as truckers, and leaders.
Nat Boyd, sales manager for the
cherry warehouse, expects the
packing season to last three weeks.
The crop is viewed as good or bet
ter than the 1858 yield which re-
suited in 100 freight carloads lea
wing the valley.
In addition, the Flathead Sweet
Cherry Association at Poison also
processes Flathead lake cherries
and will ship about 80 cars.
A brine processing system has
been started this year in order
to sell the light colored pollen
izer cherries. These do not bring
a good price on the fresh fruit
market, but are in demand for
canning purposes.

Jingle Writers Send
Bear Poems to Park

WEST GLACIER-M. E. Beatty,
Glacier National Parks chief ma
turalist, is receiving jingles about
not feeding bears.
The situation started with a
Denver Post article July 18 by

stone Park ranger naturalist, about
Glaciers bear signs. They've prov
ed effective. The parks jingle on
three different boards is: "High-

Support Price For
Wheut Set ar $2.O3

KALISPELL-Price support for
No. l northern spring and No. l
hard winter wheat of the '54 crop
in Flathead county will be $2.03
per bushel or 8 cents above the
loan rate for the 1858 crop.
E. R. Beeman, chairman of the
county Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation committee, add
ed that regular run of winter
wheat would be at $2.01 or cent
above the loan rate, and the crop
averaging out at 2 cents above
loan value.
Nationally, the announced sup
port for 1854 averages four cents
a bushel above the minimum sup
port of $2.20 announced last fall.
The national average last year was
$2.21 per bushel.
Beeman said that wheat growers
in the Flathead may take advan-
tage of the price support program
by putting their wheat under loan
or by taking out purchase agree
ments. Both loans and agreements
for purchase will be available
through Jan. 1855. Loans mature
March 81, 1855.
To be eligible for price support
on 1854 wheat, growers must be in
compliance with their 1854 wheat
acreage allotment and be eligible
to receive a wheat marketing card
on all farms in the county in
which he has an interest in the
wheat crop.
This year finds the support pat
tern giving more recognition to
premium wheats and protein con-
tent.

Need Axe, Shovel.
Bucket in Forests

KALISPELL-Effective Aug. 5,
users of the national forests in
western Montana, including the
Flathead, are required to have axe,
shovel and bucket while using the
national forests. This applies only
to truckers, autoists and pack
trains where camping or other use
of the forest is made, but does not
apply to travellers who merely pass
through the forest on the main
routes of travel, such as highway
No. 2.
The Regional Forest at Missoula
is authorized to make this regula-
ton effective when the fire haz-
ards in the forest justify. The re-
cent hot, windy weather has dried
out the forest considerably and
from past records of measured fire
danger, the peak danger can be
expected to increase during Aug
ust.
Supervisor F. ]. Neitzling states
that the requirement of these tools
in the automobiles and pack trains
is justified for the personal bene-
fits and protection to the prudent
traveller in forested areas. FIRE.
quently, roads and trails are OBJ
structed by windfalls; accordingly,
the axe is essential in such cases.
The shovel and bucket are regu-
larly used anyway by all camp
ers, and often are needed for the
comfort and welfare of the trav-
eler in addition to their usefulness
in thoroughly extingushing camp
fires.
A total of 7 fires have occurred
to date this season on the Flat
head Forest. Three of these fires
were caused by lightning, and a
were man-caused, burning total
of 157 acres (sawdust piles burn
ing up). All of these fires were
extinguished by one or more of the
required tools.
The continued cooperation of the
general public is needed to keep
our forests green and inviting.

Grain in Storage
Subject TO Toxes

KALISPELL-The State Board
of Equalization in Helena has or
dered Flathead County Assessor
Grant Campbell to assess farmers
with wheat or other grain on which
they held storage tickets as OF
March l.
Campbell said that he was in
formed grain in storage was being
assessed in a number Of other
counties during past years, but
such had not been the practice in
the Flathead. e
Therefore wheat in storage with
the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton, a federal government agen-
cy, must be assessed for taxation.
The State Board of Equalization
quotes an attorney generals op-
inion to this effect.
SENDING LETTER
Campbell is sending a letter to
county farmers next week, which
says:
"a representative of the State
Board of Equalization recently Wis
tied my office and informed me
that 1 would have to assess the
farmers of Flathead County with
the wheat or other grain on which
they held storage tickets on March
/ this year, regardless of whether
or not this wheat has been taken
over by the Commodity Credit
Corporation since the first of
March.
"It has not been the custom in
this county in the past to assess
the wheat grower with the wheat
he had in storage on the first Mon
day in March, but am informed
by the state board that wheat in
storage has been assessed in 9TH
er counties and they insist that
Flathead county farmers pay taxes
on their wheat, also.
"The State Board of Equaliza-
ton has authority over me and re-
gardless of whether think it is
right or not, have no other choice
but to follow their instructions and
assess this wheat to the farmers.
"Wheat held in storage by the
grower is placed in low CLASH
fication by law so that you will
pay taxes on only 7 per cent of the
actual value"
LIKE ANY MORTGAGE
The attorney generals opinion
says, in part, Grain mortgaged to
the CCC is taxable and must be
assessed to the owner as of the
first Monday in March, in the
same manner it would be assessed
as if a bank or individual held the
mortgage"
Campbell said the wheat would
be added right away, personal
property tax assessments will go
out Immediately and payment will
be payable within 80 days.

County Toxes Near
Setting Stoge'

The Flathead generally expects
some tax reductions to emerge
from budgets for cities, schools,
districts and the county, now en-
tering approval stage. Levies will
be set on or before Aug. 9.
Flathead county commissioners
are holding their public hearing
for protests on the county budget
Wednesday at 10 am, in the
courthouse. County preliminary
budget is set at 1907, 1854 with a
mill levy of 2985 showing a re-
duction of 500 mills from last year.
There is reason to believe that
the county levy finally will be
even lower than 29.85 mills for
the 1954-55 fiscal year.
Reason is that the assessed val
uation of the county turned out to
be more than the commissioners
anticipated at the time the budget
was drawn up. The Flathead's full
valuation figure is $62,264,00
compared to $57, 1897, 1855 last year.
Tax base this year is $17,705,359
compared to $16,347, ,297 last year.
A mill levy now raises $17,705. In
preparing the budget anticipated
valuation was around $16,500, 1000,
or mill worth $16,500.
Another factor benefitting the
county and showing in lower tax
es are record receipts from Flat
head National Forest logging, a
$4,000 or more factor. The coun-
tvs share is 25 per cent for schools
and roads.
Additional assessment figures
obtained from Grant S. Campbell,
county assessor, this week, (also
note last weeks story includes
school districts including Columbia
Falls and the aluminium plant
showing a full valuation of $10,-
235,O15 up from $8,930,054 last
year: Columbia Falls itself 1884,
691 this year up from $1,554.713
last: Whitefish S3,765, ,O92 valuation
up from S3,6O0,778 last; Kalispell,
S18,0O3,478 up from $17,553,216
last year.
Tax base runs about a third of
the full valuation. Columbia Falls
with an assessed valuation of ST.
894,691 has tax purpose base
of $543,267.
The total Flathead county figure
for valuation is 62,264,O02 up
from S57, 1897, 1855, and the tax base
$17,7O5,3 up from $16,347,297
last year.
The larger tax base is likely to
balance off generally increased
school costs with levies in some
cases being less than year ago.
Last year the mill levies includ-
ed: Kalispell 149.14, Whitefish
1926, Columbia Falls 112.04, rest
of District 6. 1858; Deer Park,
86.18; Valentine, 84.68; Bad Rock,
1888.
Personal property and real es-
tate taxes in the Flathead go to
the support of schools, city govern
ments and county government. Ex-
ception is the state levy. Last year
this levy was mills for state uni
versity sytem; l mill for state uni
versity system buildings, and 5 of
a mill for state insurance. Then
livestock owners paid 4 mill levy
which supported the bounty pro-
gram, livestock commission and
livestock sanitary board.

Delaware Turkey Growers
Will Tour Shenandoah Valley

Several carloads of turkey
growers from Delaware will leave
Bridgeville, Wednesday morning,
September 29th, enroute to the
Shenandoah Valley in Virginia
heart of the turkey and chicken
industry down there. They will
return Thursday evening, Septem-
Der Both.
Some of the people who have
already signed up for the tour are
William H of m an, Bridgeville;
Arthur Nanny, Seaford; Max Cor
der, Milford; William Lucas,
Greenwood; Laurence DeMarie,
Dover; and the County Agricul-
tural Agents. The tour is being
sponsored jointly by the Exten-
sion Service and the Delaware
Poultry Improvement Association.
First stop on the tour will be
the Norman Turkey F a m at
Charlotte Hall, Maryland. Many
turkey growers remember the ex-
cellent talk MIR. Norman gave
last spring in Seaford at a dinner
meeting. He keeps 1000 breeders,
matches 10000 poults, and raises
10000 turkeys each year for the
holiday trade. All of these tur-
keys are dressed and most of
them retailed.
Mr.. Peterson, the Rockingham
County Agricultural Agent, has
planned worthwhile tour for the
group around Elkton and Broad
way, Virginia. He has contacted
Baker Jones, Frank Meyer, the
Rockingham Coop. and other In
dustry leaders in that area to
show the latest developments in
turkey housing, feeding, manage
ment, breeding, marketing and
disease control.
Now is the best time to go on
a turkey tour, since the holiday
turkeys are out on range, and you
can get away from the farm
easier. 1t is sort of "slack sea-
son" in general farm work and
turkey production.
If you would like to join the
group, contact Silas McHenry,
Asst. Extension Poultryman, Box
$50, Newark, Delaware. Transpor-
tation will be available for those
who do not wish to drive.

quickly rs possible, as well as
gently, for best results, urge e S
County Agricultural Agent
George x. Vapaa.
Cows respond better to kind
ness and proper care. Harsh
treatment in the form of kicks,
loud noises, and excitement delay
the let-down of milk. Regularity
is important. Milk at the same
hour every day. Use a strip cup.
In this way, mastitis cases-if
any are present-may be detected
and the other milk projected
from possible contamination.
A COW needs to be stimulated
to let down her milk. The use of
a warm disinfectant solution on
the udder, and a wait of approx
imately two minutes before at
taching machines will result in
faster milking.
Under average conditions with
average cows, a COW can be milk
ed out in approximately three
minutes. Hard mixers and high
producers take longer, points out
the county agent.
Machine stripping saves time.
Message the udder and pull down
slightly on the ciaw Of the ma
chine. Cut the vacuum before
pulling off the machine. Sensitive
udders may be injured by leaving
the machine on too long, or jerk
ing it off without cutting the
vacuum.
The county agent concludes:
1--WE breed and feed cows for hign
production, and we certainly need
to do the final step-miIk for
high production"
