LET'S TALK ABOUT the weather.
It's always live topic of conversation,
one which is timely and important and,
while most folks will say talking is
all we can do about it, think farmers
do more than just talk. AS matter
of fact, farmers in Montana live and
work by the weather. Montana crops
are good or bad according to the
from calves, lambs, wool or milk is
good, medium or poor, depending on
the weather.
keep two good thermometers located
at convenient places. One is just out
side my office-den window where it
can be easily read. 1t is read and the
temperature noted at least 10 times
every day. The other is just outside the
milk house door. This one keeps me
posted when working outdoors and also
keeps the hired man informed of how
cold or how hot the day may be- also
keep rain gauge located on a fence
post short distance from the kitchen
door This tells me accurately how
much moisture each storm brings.
Official Forecasts
Besides these useful bits of equip
ment we are advised by radio several
times a day of what the weather is
and what may be expected within the
next "a hours. Twice each week we
are supplied five-day forecast giving
temperature trends, storm warnings
and moisture probabilities. Added to
these weathercaSts is such outlook in
formation as provided by Mr.. Modem
hauer of Montana Farmer-Stockman
The degree of accuracy with which
storms and cold fronts can be fore
cast is uncanny. The weatherman saws
a storm front should reach our area by
a certain hour and almost without fail
the clouds and wind will roll in right
on time, like scheduled plane or
train.
And just what do we do about it?

lnqUirns Reporter: There bills in Congress that
would give regulated forms of transportation, such
as railroads and trucks and barges,
freedom to price their services in competition with
each other-a and with unregulated trucks and

Housewives Well, what 1 want to know is = will COM
petition in transportation benefit me? When I
bought my refrigerator three different stores
peted for my business and got mighty good buy!
inquirins Reporter: According to Cabinet Committee
appointed by the President if the various kinds
of transportation allowed greater freedom to
compete with another in rates, it would
savings for everyone.
Housewife: thought so. remember reading that rail-
roads often required to set their rates higher
than would otherwise be necessary just protect
their competitors.
inqUirins Reporter: That's right and the Cabinet
Committee recommended that each form of trans
portaton should be allowed to make rates related
to it's costs and needs, long the rates are
not below cost and not discriminatory.

Construction to
Begin This Week

Tower construction crews have
arrived and r expected to be-
gin erecting the Williston tele-
vision tower this week, accord
ing to Arley R. Bella, Missouri
Valley Television Corporation
president.
The steel has been shipped and
should arrive by rail this week.
Transmitting equipment has been
arriving at regular intervals and
the General Electric engineer
should be on the scene Nov. %

by Glenn l.. Webster, GEES Chi

tors.
He explained that this means,
pending real bad weather" that
the microwave system should be
completed about December is.
The mierowave system brings
the network signal from Bismarck
to Williston. Final selection of
sites were made at Regain, is
miles east of Wilton; at Under
wood, at the junction of the Ry-
der road and highway 83 north
of Max; at a point south of
Berthold; at Ross, south of Ray.
James G.. Key, who has been
working with the Visual Electron-
les engineers, secured the last
easement for the microwave tow
ers November 9. During the past
week he said he secured power
through the five REA coopera-
tives, and telephone service thru
five RITA mutual aid companies
serving the five counties in which
the towers are located. One prob
lem now being solved is secur-
ing telephone service at the site
near Underwood, and 1--WE should
have that by the end of the
week."
The microwave system consists
of towers ranging in height from
$50 feet to arc feet; 8x IL
foot prefabricated concrete build
ings will house microwave trans
mitters and receivers at each OF
these six booster stations, Key
added.
We have been assured that
all power and phone service will
be available within the first week
in December, with the exception
of the site at Underwood, Key
said.

Record Sale Of
$500 Cattle
AT Local Ring

The largest sale IN the history
of the Yellowstone Livestock
Commission Company was held
here last week when $500 cattle
were auctioned in Wednesday
and Thursdays sale. Cattle were
sold here from six North Dakota
and nine Montana counties and
315 consignors were represented.
The next highest sale was held
in 1949 when 5000 ere sold. An
interesting comparison which
points to better facilities and
methods of handling the cattle at
the local sales ring, is the fact
that the 1949 sale lasted three
days compared to two days this
year. Twenty-Five hundred cattle
we're auctioned on Wednesday
and 1000 on Thursday.
There was a large group of
buyers present and cattle were
distributed to nine states =
Washington, California, Kansas,
Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, In
diana, Montana and North Da-
kota. Approximately 1900 from
the Wednesday : Thursday sale
went to local farmer feedlots. In
the last three weeks, each sale
has resulted in 1000 to 1400 60
ing to local buyers and feedlots.
Consignors of cattle enjoy a
good competitive market in that
there are many individual local
buyers competing against the out
of state buyers always present.
The Yellowstone Livestock
Commission Company is recog-
nized as one of Montana's lead
ing markets and was the second
largest in the state last year. In
the first year of business, the
company handled $4,000 head and
expects to auction 10000 this
year. The auction market was
started in 1943 and each year
has noted a growth in marketing
of livestock. Ingvard Svarre and
Chris Hanson are the original
and present owners.
