Clendive Junior
Legion Here
tuesday Night

Tuesday night at 800 p. m. a
good Glendive Jr. Legion team
will play the Sidney Juniors al
Moose Field. 1t will be the second
of a four game series, the first
having been played in Sidney
with Sidney winning a close 81
decision.
Sidney's ace, Erv Schmidt, will
draw the mound assignment, op-
posing Ward, Glendive's best. II
should be a fine game. Sidney's
last home game for 1856, so plan
on being there.
The Sidney Juniors play at Miles
City this week end in a two-game
series Friday and Saturday nights
The two teams split here, with
Sidney's Schmidt besting Mile
city's ace, Issacs, in a 81 opening
game, and Miles City taking the
second game, 1871.
Miles City is currently in Sec
ond place.
The powerful Billings team took
both, games of the tWo-game series
here this past week end, TO and
14-0. In the first game, Montee
of Billings pitched his third sue
cessive no-hit game, two of them
being against Sidney and one
against Glendive. Erv Schmidt,
the losing pitcher, turned in a
creditable performance, striking
out eight men, in a game which
was much closer than the score
indicates. The score was 10 in
the 9Th inning and 80 going into
the 9Th.
Larry Henderson turned in a
good job in the second game, but
z runs in the first inning, result
ing largely from two costly errors
by his teammates, hurt the teams
chances of winning the contest.
Dean Johnson, Joe Clark and Lar
ry hit safely in a well-pitched
game by Hahn. Montee, Neal and
Lamb homered for Billings.
Tom Quilting, moved from his
customary backstop position,
where, by the way, he takes a
backseat to no one, to the mound
and turned in a fine Shit pitch
ing Job as the locals shut out the
Junior Legion team, go,
at the Moose ball park. Craig Price
caught Tom in this one, and along
with Terry Whitaker and Tom,
each had two hits to lead the hit
ting. Each of the three mentioned
had doubles along with Dean
Johnson in the nine inning con-
test.
The win gives Sidney a two
out of three edge in the series.
Sidney now has IL wins and 8
.osseS.
Don't forget - the arch rivals
meet Tuesday night, Sidney VS..
IIendive.

Sidney Schools
Being Prepared
For Fall Opening

The year around employees 1T
the Sidney Public Schools are
busily engaged in the many main
tenance activities necessary to
complete for the coming school
year which begins Tuesday, Sept.
4. The regular custodial force
consisting of Axel Jorgensen,
Henry Badt, and Ralph Montalbo
at the junior-senior high school
and Erick Zadow, Art Hall and
Earl Mason at the elementary
school have their regular yard
and athletic field care to per-
form, as well as painting and
furniture repair. The entire month
of August will be used for clean
ing the buildings preparatory for
the school year.
A complete classroom of art
tables has been built by Howard
Eicholtz as well as seventy-five
new hurdles for the athletic de-
partment. One newly arranged
classroom, the former dark room
used for movies, will be used as
a classroom this year. This is the
last available classroom space at
the junior-senior high school.
Instead of using sound films
from the state film library a
complete film strip library COW
ering the major subject fields is
being acquired for use at the
junior-senior high school. The
film strips are advantageous over
the sound film system in that
they are available at the exact
time needed and they can be
shown in each classroom rather
than to a large group.
New purchases include school
instruction supplies, textbooks,
laboratory equipment, and class
room furniture.
One major overhaul job is be-
ing done to the steam boilers at
the junior-senior high school.
The administrative offices are
open from 8 to 4 throughout the
summer months. Registration for
the 1956-1957 school year will be-
gin about August Is. A notice
will appear in this paper in a
couple weeks giving complete
registration instruction and exact
dates. Continuation of World In
surance coverage for students and
special football coverage has been
approved by the Sidney School
Board. The premium for the gen.
eral coverage is $500 per student.

July 20 Is Final
Date To Sign For
Acreage Reserve

Wheat growers planning tt
participate in this years Sol
Bank acreage reserve e r re-
minded today that this Friday
July 20, is the final date foi
signing agreements with theil
County Sterilization and Conser-
walton committees.
Agreements may be signed
through Friday, Leo S. Kolstad
State Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation administrative
officer, pointed out, if the farm
is in compliance or will be
brought into compliance with its
1856 wheat acreage allotment. AL
though July is was the final
date for natural destruction or
blowing or discing winter wheat
down, 1t was not necessary that
an agreement be signed before
the destruction occurred.
For this reason, Kolstad ex-
planned, producers whose wheat
has been damaged by hail may
still participate if they sign
agreements by July 20, provided
that the hail occurred by July
Is, in the case of winter wheat,
and by July 20, in the case of
spring wheat.
When wheat will be plowed or
disced under to participate in the
program, the blowing or discing
of winter wheat must have been
done before July Is, but pro-
ducers have until July FL to turn
under spring wheat. In all cases,
Kolstad pointed out, the producer
will be eligible for acreage re-
serve payments only if the farm
was in compliance with its allot-
ment on July ii or July 81, for
winter and spring wheat respec-
lively. These are the final dates
producers may utilize excess
wheat acreage to comply with
allotments for price support and
marketing quota purposes.
Because of the final dates ap-
plicable to the acreage reserve
and marketing quota programs
which may cause producers diff
ficulty in determining their eligi-
bility under the programs, Kol-
stad urges interested operators to
visit their county ASC office.
There, he pointed out, the indi-
viduaI's situation can be discussed
and an acreage e agreement
can be signed If the producer is
eligible and wishes to participate.

FARMERS WILL
DECIDE ON 1857
WHEAT QUOTAS FRIDAY

Farmers voting in the wheat
marketing quota referendum Fri
day, July 20, will have all the
basic information they need in
making their decision, according
to Arthur Anderson, County Ag-
ricultural Stabilizatiop and Con-
servation committee chairman.
The referendum will be to ap-
prove or reject quotas on the
1857 wheat crop. All farm own
perpetrators, tenants, landlords
and sharecroppers who will be
entitled to share in the proceeds
of a wheat crop on a farm having
more than Is ere of wheat are
eligible to vote in the referen-
dunn.
To aid farmers in making their
decision, chairman Anderson ex-
plains, the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has an
nounced that 1857 wheat price
support will be at a national
average of $500 a bushel, the
same level as the support on the
current crop, if quotas are ap-
proved. The Department has also
announced that the unit" rate
for determining payments under
the wheat acreage reserve of the
1857 Soil Bank Program will be
so percent of the national price
support level.
The actual payments which
farmers may earn for taking part
in the 1857 wheat acreage re-
serve will be determined by null
tiplying the base unit rate go
percent of the county support
rate) by a yield figure establish
ed for the farm by the county
committee.
If quotas are approved in Fri
days referendum, price support
at a national average of $500 per
bushel will be available to pro-
ducers who comply with allot-
ments established for their farms,
the wheat unit rate will be so
percent of the county price sup
port rate, and penalties will ap-
ply on excess wheat.
If producers reject quotas on
the 1857 crop, price support at
so percent of parity or about
Sl.2l a bushel national average
based on current parity viii be
available to producers who COM
ply with acreage allotments, the
wheat unit rate will be so per-
cent of the so percent of parity
price support level and there will
be no penalty on wheat grown
in excess of allotments.
Chairman Arthur Anderson en-
phasizes that the referendum is
not concerned with acreage al
Iotments: they will remain in eff
feet for use in determining price
support eligibility and acreage
reserve payments regardless of
the outcome of the referendum.
