Farm Exports Up
Over Last Year

According to Business Trends"
a publication of the Federal Re
serve Bank of Cleveland, exports
of farm products have continued
to increase moderately since mid
summer. After a letdown in August
and September, the value of agri-
cultural exports in October rose to
the highest level in twenty-five
months. This upsurge in farm eX-
ports pushed the four-month total
(July-October) to a level $50
above a year earlier. Inspections
of grain for overseas export in a
mid-January week were we'll above
year-ago levels for wheat, corn and
soybeans, suggesting for grain at
least that the recent upswing in
export demand has been sustained.
This improvement in foreign de-
mand is encouraging to producers
of agricultural products which en-
ter foreign trade, and is of general
interest in that it may serve to
shrink some of the burdensome do
mestic stocks of agricultural COM
modities that have accumulated
during the past two years.
The recovery in foreign demand
first became evident near the close
of the fiscal year ended June, 1854.
The recent strengthening in for
eign demand has been attributed
to a relatively high level of eco
nomic activity abroad, record gold
and dollar reserves in the free
world countries that constitute our
major exports markets, and more
competitive prices for this nations
agricultural products.

degrees Tuesday to a hign of 81

Whatever you want most in a car
beauty, size or performance-you get it
in extra measure in a Pontiac. In fact,
when you choose Pontiac the decision
comes very easily because Pontiac alone,
at its price, gives you everything!
For example, take Pontiac's distinctive
smartness. Certainly there is no question
on this point. Pontiac is the one car that
stands apart from all the others. -

HOLIDAY Consideration

Our feeling of friendship and consideration so evil
dent at Christmas should extend to the folks who handle
the u S. Mail.
We are SO much more interested in receiving and
sending mail these weeks, but what tremendous work
is created for the post office forces.
Rural residents should take special care to see
that deep is shoveled away from mail boxes so
that rural carriers don't have to walk or get stuck
Another factor is for rural residents to avoid buying
one, two three stamps at time leaving the coins in
boxes This slows down the carriers in busy season.
and there cold hands. Each family should keep
supply of stamps hand during the Christmas weeks.
In towns residents can help by sorting mail for
local and out of city delivery Rubber bands string
should be placed around respective bundles.
For the family's own good cent stamps are used
on Christmas cards. Where cent stamps used
cards are not forwarded or returned the addressee
is not found.
Columbia Falls post office last year had to de-
stroy nearly 1000 cards that arrived with 2 cent
stamps and addressed to persons who had moved or
could not be found
Columbia Falls should also keep in mind that we
are two horse instead of one horse town. Post
master Greene commented that the telephone ringing
calls the force away from windows or sorting mail
People not thinking of the extra Christmas mail load
ask such questions as will you see if have pack
age?" Are the trains in?"
The friendly Christmas spirit should include con.
sderati0n for those folks who dispatching sorting
and handling the mail that much appreciate al

Liuinq Christmas Trees

Time was that we saw Christmas tree and admired
its spread of branches and whole symmetry
Practice of bringing this fresh part of the out-of
doors into homes and businesses to help observe the
Yule season is an attractive custom
Furthermore we live in Christmas tree land with
Flathead county itself exporting about 100000 Yule
frs year. ~
Z These weeks we look at a city yelere ip4he Flat
head and fine welturned evergfeehs brought from
the woods for the Christmas season. We then wonder
why more effort isn't made to have live, growing
Christmas trees at the same spots and in our yards
year-around Our frs just attractive in June
as they are in December, and they grow well here,
do the spruce and pine.
Scrubby, ill-shaped frs left in the woods. In
stead take the trees that grow in open spaces
50 that in the full light they become symmetrical
Or, we take tall evergreen cut it down. and remove
the top six feet for our front room.
Men and boys with their axes each December
practice bit of frontier like Americana in going out
after the family Christmas tree. It's great sport and
quite outing in the frosty air. Lack Of planning and
thought has resulted in hardly welrounded shapely
evergreen left along U. S. highway No. in the whole
F1athead.
The Flathead is favored with millions of evergreens
to the point that we place particular value one
tree a Dozen
Yet, we should show more appreciation of our
resources and beauty by not in effect cutting them
back to the mountains.
Let's have more living Christmas trees in our
communities MR

Too MANY Porcupines

There are myths concerning porcupines that handi-
cap the western Montana economy.
Porcupines are not protected by state law, and
lost in the woods is not apt to survive because
he will find porcupine to kill and eat
In fact there is every reason for western Montana
especially to want state bounty on porcupines.
The u. S. Forest Service in a new leafet says:
1T has been estimated that porcupines annually kill
seriously damage much 200 million board feet
Of private state and federal timber in the forests Of
western Montana, northern Idaho and eastern Wash
ington."
This is more than twice the timber cut Flathead
National Forest lands this year.
Foreword Of the publication states: I'm recent
years the porcupne population has shown marked
increase. The damage porcupines do to young pine
forests is reaching serious proportions serious that
measures must be taken to reduce porcupne numbers

tons. Now this same cooperation is being brought into
full play to reduce the present potential porcupine
damage to the forests of the future"
The booklet continues that the s'porkies" are not
fastdous in choice of food They consume plants and
the buds, leaves and inner bark of numerous tree
species
Fall and winter diet consists largely of the bark
of conferous trees the western pine being their special
selection
Most serious effect from an economic standpoint,
is the damaging and killing of young trees the Forest
Service relates In their effort to get at the inner
main stem of smaller trees Larger trees frequently
suffer injury serious enough to DEATH But more
often the injury results in weakened, bushytop or
spike-top tree useless for commercial purposes.
Result is deformed tree taking up space soil,
trientS and moisture, yet producing nothing of value
Here in western Montana there is becoming in
creasing awareness that want none of animal

It may be that in predator control, we have re-
moved many of the coyotes, mountain lions and even
wolverines that have worked to keep the porcupne
population somewhat within bounds
Now we have much larger porcupine population.
So many that the Forest Service reports damage from
10 to 100 per cent of young trees in certain areas.
Man has responsibility here to see that porcu-
pine numbers are reduced. Two decades ago and be-
yond fires seemed the principal threat to forests In
recent years we have become increasingly aware of
