Sixty-two years since the vii
lage of WilliSton Incorporated as
a city fifty years to the day,
when w. S. Davidson, ST., bank
president, arrived in Williston TO
go to work. That's the story be-
hind the grand opening of the
the American State Banks new
building this April 2 and 8.
Under construction for a period
of IL months, the American State
opens its doors on Easter Monday
to the general public with a two
day open house - inviting every
one TO participate in their planned
program and tour the bank. The
new building has a IS foot front
age and is $50 feet long, built at
a cost in excess of a half million
dollars. 1t is modernistic in de-
sign with a brick and cement ex-
terror and a dark "Opalescent"
granite base.
Bank Builders Corporation, de-
signers and builders of the new
structure, have completed the
building in three floors. The base
ment and main floors are given
ito bank facilities and offices,
while the top floor houses addi-
tional bank offices and rental
space.
The new building, located on
the original townsite of Williston,
dating back to the late 1905, has
its grand opening coinciding with
the founding of the city. Then,
as the old Citizens National Bank,
it had undergone changes in
names through the years with
various mergers, until in 1895 it
was changed to its present name.

Restoration Acres Then,
Soil Bank Now

WHEN THE AAA, now ASC, was
created, it was with the purpose of con-
trolling the surplus of certain COM
moditieS. Did it serve its purpose? Only
to small extent Nature was against us
Farmers and on the side of the Plan
ners. The only relief came when the

Today we have the same situation
again, the biggest surplus in wheat in
us. history, in spite of more acreage
control. Still they want us to cut acres
another 10 to 20 per cent They call
it the soil bank now. In 1888 they called
it Restoration acres.
I have letter in my files, direct
from the USDA of Washington, DC.
from that year and the conditions are
strangely similar to the now newly
created soil bank plan. There is some
land in northeastern Montana which
would be eligible for retiring some

I believe the rank and file is satisfied

We all spent too much in the boom

in northeastern Montana have been
taught to raise wheat on a $3.50 basis,
which proved satisfactory in the long
run. Why not stay with this $3.50 deal
in wheat, but not have all these strings
attached to it-soil bank, price support,
etc. Sure, if the wheat would be turned
loose, the price would go down, but I

Bossy Has No Uppers
editor Has Red Face)

1 NOTICED ON first glance through
Montana Farmer-Stockman for June
1, 1856, that something was drastically
wrong with the picture of the skeleton
of a cows head on page 49.
If the person who drew the picture
for the article titled, Breeders Warned
of Bulldog Jaw will go out and take a
look at old bossy's mouth he will see
what I mean. You had better be care
full, though, or you might get a finger
pulled off. Even though you will find
that boSSy doesn't have and never has
had any upper teeth on the fore part
of her mouth, she is pretty good at
breaking off anything she chooses to
eat.
1t seems that after cow has swept
grass and leaves into her mouth with
a wide swing of her rough tongue her
lower teeth serve very well when they
come in contact with her vice-like upper
lip to pull grass and leaves loose from
their stems.
If the artist were drawing the head
of horse he would be entirely right
because a horse nips or bites off the
grass with sharp upper and lower
teeth. Mrs. John NObIett, Big Horn
County.

Well Still Get
The Job Done

I JUST READ the article on young
Rancher Refused Loan" 1 wonder how
many more ranchers and farmers in
this state have also been refused by
the advertised loan companies.
My husband and I also own our own
ranch but have been unable to get fl
nancing to build up our stock or i'm
prove the ranch. We can't even get
any encouragement from the GIL loan
department, they always suggest we
see a bank or the FILA, etc.
We will be delayed the same as
E. M. B. of Granite County, but we will
still get the job done. - Mrs. w. L. T.,
