And Charley Never Did
By HARRIETTE E. CUSHMAN

WHILE THE LATE Senator William
Cowan from Hill County was still in
his prime, I had lunch with him one
day. Somehow we got off onto the
subject of Charlie Russell. The stories
we snapped about him were numerous.
Many of them had heard before. but
one which he told me was definitely
not the run of the MILL I will try to
give it to you as he told it to me.
"My father was running his general
store in Box Elder way back in Terri
toriaI days when Fort Benton was still
head of river navigation and bunch
Of soldiers were still stationed there.
Because he was a pretty shrewd trader
he got quite bit of the army's bust
ness.
st remembered one time when was
a young shaver, guess about IA or Is,
dad sent me down with consignment
of hay for the military post.
sIt was warm, sunny morning
when I arrived at the Fort, the Sena-
tor said as he settled back in his chair,
and his eyes sparkled as he recalled
that far off day. outside the high
adobe walls soldiers were parading.

Quickly the kid put the coat on Say

fully the kid pocketed the watch and
settled down as the others drifted away
presumably to chase up the snipes.
In about an hour they were all snug
in bed and asleep. In the morning the
first one up shouted at the rest and they
looked expectantly towards the Kids
bunk :. No kid. Hurriedly they dressed
and trooped to the cookshack. He'd
sure be there swiggin' coffee and get
ting the horse-laugh from the cook.
AS they filed through the door a
big sheet of wrapping paper propped
against the sugar can in the middle of
the table caught each eye. Quickly they
leaned over and read e" Thanks.

was, he told me that it was Charlie
Russell who had been commissioned
by the army to paint a picture of the
soldiers at the Fort.
During the day I had many occa-
sions to pass Charlie. Each time as |
passed and looked over his shoulder, I
saw that he'd only blocked in the river
bluffs with the adobe walls of the Fort
in the foreground.
ooh, he had few SquawS and a
teepee or two," the Senator explained,
shut they seemed mostly just back
ground. The young teller kept squirm-
ing about on his camp stool and what
ever he sketched in, he'd squint at it
and then rub it out.
''This went on all day Towards eve
ming when the train for Great Falls
was due. Charlie jumps up all of a
sudden, sIaps his paint boxes shut and
folds up his camp stool. Then with
show of disgust, he announced to who
ever might be listening, 7 amt paintin'
no picher of no damn 0'diers.' With
that he departed for the Falls"
The old Senator pushed his chair
back from the table and chuckled over
the remembrance of the young artist
refusing to paint soldiers.
"And do you know" the old Senator
said, as he took me by the hand and bid
good day, sCharlie Russell never did
paint any soldiers. He painted plenty
of COW boys, mountain men, Indians.

Come to think of it, I think Senator
Cowan was right.

SNIPE HUNTING was always one of
the bestowed of old-time cowboy
sports. No tenderfoot or greenhorn ever
hit the range country but what he was
soon introduced to a snipe hunt
I'll never forget the story about it
that my father-in-law used to tell This
little incident happened in the nineties
between Helmville and Drummond, a
hell for leather cow country even then.
An eastern youngster had hit the
ranch a few days before and applied
for a job. He seemed green and fell for
all the clubhouse tales, hook, line and
sinker. One night after chuck they
strapping on their guns and pulling on
heavy coats. The kid couldn't take it too
long and, as they expected, soon was
asking questions.
After about so much coaxing on his
part and so much hesitation on theirs
they finally agreed that he could go
along. 1t was fairly cold when they set
out, the kid saivering as much from
excitement as from cold
About a half mile from the ranch
they stationed the kid, gave him a
gunny sack and saw to his getting it
spread open across an old cattle trail
out of draw BY this time his teeth
were chattering till he could hardly ask
for final instructions.
AS the cowpokes were heading away
to drive up the snipes to the sack, the
kid made feeble attempt to stop
and said, Say Il.

Interest Increases
In Sos Planning
BY Ell. d. HURD
Soil Conservation Service

WHY ARE MONTANA land operator:
becoming more interested in farm anC
ranch conservation plans? The mair
reason is that they want to know more
about their soil-how to use it and how
to treat it.
There are nearly $4,000 land opera
tors working with their Soil Conserva-
ton Districts. More than 5000 of them
have completed basic farm or ranch
conservation plans. About 5000 are in
the process of developing conservation
plans. In the first six months this year
AGA started cooperating with Soil Con
servation Districts and will be working
on conservation plans soon. The rate
of developing plans is increasing. The
first six months this year 253 were
completed. This is III more than was
accomplished the first half of 1854.
In addition to developing conservation
plans, more than 5000 carried out some
conservation work with the Soil Con-
servation Service the first half of this
year. Much of this work was made
possible through ACP cost sharing and
FILA soil and water loans.
What are basic farm or ranch con-
servation plans?
The basic conservation plan is a
blueprint of the farm 1t includes
map showing the kinds of soil It also
shows how the different kinds of soil
should be treated Ito prevent wind and
water erosion. In addition the plan sets
forth ways and means to keep produc-
ton of cultivated crops, native and
tame grass, trees and wildIife at the
highest practical level without deterio-
ration.
In developing the plan the land oper-
ator works with the SCS technician. The
two of them actually pool their knowl-
edge and experience. BY studying the
kinds of soil they decide what use
should be made of the land Then they
decide what conservation practices are
needed to get the best continued pro-
luction These decisions are then put
n writing. This write-up. along with
he soils map and conservation plan
nap, complete the farm or ranch con-
ervation plan.
After the conservation plan is de-
eloped the technician assists the land
perator with adjusting land use where
ecessary and applying the conserva-
ion practices. In applying conservation
necessary engineering and
egetative surveys are made.
Do you want to know more about
our soils? Do you have an erosion or
rainage problem? Do you have soils
lat are not producing what they
1ould? If so you may want to contact
he local Soil Conservation Service of
ce and make application to the Soil
District for conservation

Farm ReaItyUp
As Income Dips
By the Assoeiated Pres

An Agriculture Department
survey showed today that If
there is any pessimism among
farmers over farm product price
declines. 1t is not showing up In
10 booming farm real estate
market.
The department said farm
land values on July ! averaged
S per cent higher than q year
earlier and 8 per cent higher
than on March / Of this year
although farm product prices
have slumped 5 per cent below
10 year ago.
Compared with q year earlier.
land values in 36 States showed
gains of 2 per cent or more. Only
three States Maine. Vermont
and Wyoming reported values
significantly below a year earlier.
The department said the
strength Of the farm land market
during the last 10 months has
been unusual in view Of down.
ward trends in commodity prices
and income.
The agency listed four factors
as contributing to the strength
of the farm real estate market:
/. A strong demand for more
land to enlarge existing farms so
that mechanization might be
used more fully.
2. More liberal lending policies
by several classes Of lenders, no.
|tably insurance companies and
Federal land banks.
8. Favorable crop prospects.
4. Bright outlook for the gen.
eral economy.
The department said that In
the case Of many crops. higher
yields and harvest volumes are
offsetting price declines to keep
farm income near last years
levels.

the West. At first. Mr.. Nasser
depicted the purchase Of Czech
arIas as purely commercial
transaction intended to enable
Egypt TO protect itself against
such things as an Israeli attack
On the GAIA strip.
Later. Mr.. Nasser delivered q
speech accusing the West Of IN
trigue against Egypt. He said
that since the big lie" Of 1850
when the Big Three Western
powers promised to try to stabi-
lie the arms situation in the
Middle East-the West actually
has been trying to build up Israel
and keep Egypt weak.
Mr.. Nasser's speech carefully
avoided the fact that before
Egypt accepted the Communist
arms deal, Mr.. Nasser sought
about $27 million worth Of Amer
lean weapons.
The United States Informed
Egypt that it was eligible TO buy
weapons here. Further exchanges.
however, disclosed that Egypt did
not have enough money to pay.
