Home Grown Holly For Yule
Decor Thrives In North

Decor Thrives In North
Every day can be holly-day-
if you grow your own Christmas
decoration.
Glamorous holly is not the ''hot-
house violet" popularity believed.
Highly priced specimens are thriv-
ing in such cold weather areas as
Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, Akron,
Chicago and Des Moines, just to
mention a few, points out j. C..
Slocum, field representative of the
Davey Tree Expert Co.
What's more, it is no longer
necessary or even advisable mere
ly to plant American holly and
take your chance as to type and
sex. They're now offered for sale
in many varieties, predetermined
as to characteristics and sex. The
male is needed for pollen-if you
want full crop of berries. Some
of the better known varieties have
such intriguing names as Old
Heavyberry, Merry Christmas,
Cheerful, Yule, Bountiful and
Christmas Carol. Your local nur-
seryman undoubtedly will be in a
position to recommend the best
varieties for your particular area
and location.
In the South, hollies attain con-
siderable size and are classed as
medium sized trees" They grow
slower in the North. Holly can be
planted where large shrubs are
needed. They constitute a pleas
ant relief from the usual type of
pine and spruce generally USED
for background material. And if
kept closely sheared they can
even be used for foundation plant
ings.
They're evergreen and have few
insect enemies. Occasional spray

worn Out" Farm
Revived By Plan

Top quality hay and pasture,
along with plenty of grain, are now
being produced on the farm of the
Ca1nelite Father Monastery near
Akron.
This farm, according to neigh
bors, was, only a few years ago,
one. of the poorest farms in the
area. Hay and grain had to be pur-
chased to keep a few head of live
stock.
Brother Paul, who superivses the
farming, states, Since we have our
conservation plan in operation,
plenty of hay, grain and pasture
are being produced to feed the
dairy cattle and several additional
head of beef"
A soil-conserving crop rotation
system was established and the
recommended lime and fertilizer
treatments were applied. Addition
al conservation practices establish
ed to date are "a acres of contour
strip cropping, IA acres of pasture
seeding and treatment, 123 rods of
tile, 800 feet waterway and $500
feet of multiflora rose planting.

Vast New Area On
Mars Discovered

Washington-A new blue-green
area on the red face of Mars, al
most the size of Texas and believ-
ed to be living vegetation, has pro-
duced the greatest change in Mar
tian geography since the planet
was first mapped 125 years ago.
The discovery is announced in
the current National Geographic
Magazine by DR.. E. c. Slipher, a
distinguished astronomer and lead
er of the 1854 National Geographic
Lowell Observatory Mars Expedi-
ton to photograph the planet from
South Africa.
Last summer, as it will again in
1856, Mars set off a worldwide
study by spinning closer to the
earth than at any time since 1941.
Results of its near approach are
gradually being revealed by scien-
tific scrutiny of thousands of pho
tographs collected by an Interna-
tional Mars Committee. Twenty
thousand photographs were made
by DR.. Slipher alone. One of his
spectacular portraits of Mars in
full color appears in the Magazine.
The new dark marking, covering
approximately 100000 square miles
near the great Thoth Canal, was
totally unexpected. Never before
has such a new dark splotch ap-
peared except as an increase of an
existing dark area.
The remarkable transformation,
DR.. Slipher reports, indicates that
the division between Martian de-
sert and dark areas is not neces-
sarily fixed or permanent; one may
change to the other at any time. It
helps support the conclusion that
Mars is not a dead world, that the
darkening Is due to the growth of
plant life.
Biologists suggest that this life
may be akin to lichens that grow

us. Savings Bonds
Are Safest Bet

Are Your Savings Safe? The an
swer is "Yes"if you've got them
in Savings Bonds. Fire, theft or
carelessness won't touch them.
Some months ago, a prominent
rancher strode into the Basin State
Bank at Stanford, Mont, and call
ed for his safe-deposit box, con-
tanning $4,000 in Government
bonds. Without stopping to check
the contents, he showed the box un-
der his arm, barged out the front
door and roared off in a big car
toward Helena. But somewhere be-
tween the two cities the rancher
and his bonds parted company. He
never would say what happened to
them.
Someone robbed or rolled him."
bank president N. B. Matthews fig
ures. HE was ashamed to talk
about it. We spoke to him, the
Sheriff and I, but he wanted to
forget the whole thing. Fact is, he
made us promise we wouldn't tell
his wife. He felt someone had made
fool of him, and no man likes to
remember that"
When the rancher died recently,
his widow found their safe-deposit
box empty. Banker Matthews ex-
planned what had happened, then
searched the banks records and
furnished her with a list of the
missing bonds. She thereupon filled
out the papers her husband had
been too embarrassed to sign and
without further red tape the Treas
ury Department replaced the whole
$4,000 in bonds.
Just like that, Uncle Sam stands
ready at all times to make good
any savings bonds that are lost,
stolen or destroyed. The serial
numbers and purchasers names
are recorded on master list, kept
under lock and key in the Treas
ury Departments Chicago office.
So, if some mishap befalls your
bonds, you can get your investment
back. Just notify the Bureau of
Public Debt, Division of Loans and
Currency, 536 South Clark Street,
Chicago S, Illinois.
This explains why u. S. Savings
Bonds are the safest investment in
the world. Even if your bonds are
stolen and cashed by the thief, you
still get reimbursed. The Secret
Service will take care of the thief.

on earth's barren rocks and noun
taintops. To learn more DR.. Slipher
says, such plants soon may be
grown in the laboratory under the
physical and chemical conditions
thought to exist on Mars.
From the Photographic record
that the Mars Committee made
with special filters, cameras, and
lenses, other new features of
earth's neighboring planet have
been found. One is the existence of
faint belts or bands in the atmos-
phere above the face of Mars, less
distinct than those of Jupiter and
Saturn, but indicating definite at
mospheric circulation.
Because Mars is only half earth S
size and thus has only feeble grav-
ity, its atmosphere is thinner than
that at the top of Mount Everest.
Very little, if indeed any, free OK
ygen remains, and little water va
por. Yet brilliant blue-white clouds
were seen, as well as cleaning po-
lar caps and great yellow clouds"
of blowing dust.
With filters capable of piercing
the violet haze of the Martian at
mosphere, Dr.. Slipher watched
spring turn to summer on the red
and green planet. The visible south
polar cap warmed and slowly
shrank. Green fringes formed
along the edge of the retreating
sheet of ice or hoarfrost.
The great blue-green areas be-
gan to mark the orange-red desert
surface-the so-called wave OF
darkness" that is the strongest
evidence that Mars is still living
planet.
That these dark areas are veg
citation and that the change in col.
or is somehow connected with re-
lease of water from the melting
shrinking polar icecap is no longer
seriously doubted by most observ-
ers," DR.. Slipher notes.
I'm fact, all the various Martiar
markings betoken that 1t is a liv.
ing planet, that life of some sort
exists there" Aas

CROWS SUGGEST TWO
PROPOSALS ON PAY
FOR YELLoWTAIL SITE.

Members Of the Crow Indian
Tribal Council, meeting at Grow
Agency last Friday, drafted two
proposals for consideration by the
Department of Interior in arriving
at method of paying the Grow
tribe for Indian lands to be used
in connection with construction of
the Yellowtail Dam across the Big
Horn River in Big Horn Canyon.
In addition the council reported
it intends to select negotiating
committee to confer with Interior
officials on the proposed 95-million-
dollar power, irrigation, and flood
control project.
The two payment plans proposed
by the council are:
1. Should the Grows decide to sell
market value for the site as it now
exists is five million dollars. In
event of the sale, the Crow tribe
will retain all mineral rights in the
al CO fof tAAC AfioC, tAtC AAtpC Will
retain control of the area on tribal
land which the national park service
has selected for recreation and de-
veiopment and the tribe will devel-
OPP the area for its own benefit and
progit.
2. That the dams and lands nee
essary for the dam and reservoir
site be leased and that a yearly
rental of $685. 900 be paid; at the
end of the 6Oth year the property
be referred to the tribe to be OPP
Grated by the tribe and to be leased
to the highest bidder. Also, that the
tribe retain the mineral rights in
the area and also retain control of

By CONG. LEE METCALF

When he signed the Public Works
Appropriation Act last month, Presi-
dent Eisenhower said he did so with
great reluctance"
Part of this presidential reluctance,
he explained, was because Congress
had provided money for LOT new
starts, among them Yellowtail Dam,
which were not included in his budget
requests.
Detailed engineering studies" are
lacking on many" of these lot
projects, President Eisenhower went
on, adding, Initiation of the added
projects cannot be undertaken until
the detailed engineering plans have
been completed and we have sound
basis for cost estimates"
The Bureau of the Budget said
Yellowtail was one of the projects
President Eisenhower was talking
about But the Bureau of Reclamation
didn't read the statement that way.
After all, Yellowtail Dam was au-
thorized by Congress in 1914. And
authorization is preceded by detailed
engineering studies and cost estimates
which are kept up-to-date. The Bu-
reau of Reclamation said it would
make immediate and strenuous" eff
forts to reach agreement with the
Grow Indian Tribal Council on COM
pensation for land rights so that
work could begin promptly.
In view of these contradictory
statements, Senator James E. Muir
ray, chairman of~the Interior Com
mittee, invited representatives of the
Department, Bureau of Rec
lamation and Bureau of the Budget
to sit down with interested legislators
and find out just where the project |
stood.
We received assurances from the |
three agencies represented at that |

heimer said construction could start

The magnitude of the proposed
Yellowtail Dam project near Hardin,
start of construction now pending
certain developments, was shown In
a report given recently by j. Carter
Johnson, chairman of the water and
resources and Yellowtail Dam COM
mittee of the Billings Chamber of
Commerce.
Johnson said that peak contruc-
ton YellowtaiI Dam would require
force of 1900 men and would
require six years to build. He said
that the actual construction would
require 100000 man-hours of
which will mean employment of
additional thousands not directly
connected with activity at the dam
site.
Basing his reports on facts obtained
from the Bureau of Reclamation,
Johnson said that every hour of work
at the dam would require at least an
hour of employment away from the
site.
Johnson said that the construction
of the complete Yellowtail Dam prof.
ect would mean comparable expendi-
lures of cement, steel, lumber and
other materials requiring additional
thousands of man-hours of work in
mines, factories and transportation.
As an example, Johnson said that
about 3,240,000 tons of gravel and
675,00 tons OF sand would be pro-
cessed near the site which would re-
quire 5000 railroad cars, equivalent
to train stretching from Billings
almost to Bismarck, N. D., to carry the
material. He said that total of 4,845
railroad cars were needed to haul the
other materials.
johnson also pointed out that "a
trains with 80 cars each would be
needed to haul all the cement needed
for the project and AT trains of 40
cars for fly ash used with the cement.
Also that four trains of 30 cars for
steel, three trains of 80
cars for structural steel, two trains of
35 cars for penstocks, gates and
three trains of 5 cars for tur-
bines and generators, l 5 cars for mis-
cellaneous machinery, Is cars for
trash racks, and Fl cars for cooling
pipe
Citing other figures, Johnson said
that the Yellowtail Dam and power
plant would cost approximately one
fourth as much as would the Hoover
