Money couldn't have bought the
feeling of warmth received by those
who worked closely with the Empty
Stocking Fund.
In reaching out to make Christmas
happy occasion for more than 25O
needy youngsters, the Empty Stocking
Fund proved its need and worth in
the community.
The problem of needy families is
not new but the idea of making an

business man. However, it was

not TO be denied, the young
lady slipped quietly into the
young mans office and threat

the key out the window, dis
arranged her hair, tore her
dress, overturned the furnit-
ure, and began to scream that
she had been outraged. Infuri-
ated citizens broke down the
door, took the situation in at a
glance, and demanded an i'm

an attorney, tempered with
mercy and justice, shouted:
this man is Innocent" The
mob stopped dead in its tracks.

be read the following CRomans
14:22): Hast thou faith? have it
to thyself before God" Among
the passages to be read from
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is the following (23:16):
Faith, if it be mere belief, is as
a pendulum swinging between
nothing and something, having no
fixity. Faith, advanced to spirit
ual understanding, is the evidence
gained from Spirit, which rebukes
sin of every kind and establishes
the claims of God" The Golden
Text is from Hebrews (11:1):
Now faith is the substance OF
things hoped for, the evidence of
things not seen."

classify it as one with strong
winds and powerful cold. 1t was
filled with changes and remark
ably low temperatures and many
who suffered wished that it would
go sooner than its allotted time
would seem to indicate. The SER
les of tough days made nearly ev-
eryone sit by a real hot fire and

speak. The old folks, too. had to
battle the cold spells to the best
of their ability and they, about
all complained that the cold spells
had hit them hard and the sting
ing lasted for a week or so at a
time. Others of the aged ones
stayed in bed all day and manag-
ed to pull through, in spite of
the raking cold that seemed to
come from the West, also from
Canada.

at nightfall they returned with
a big supply of all kinds of fish.
Some of the people who went on
the trip caught two barrels of
fish and regretted to leave there
when night came on.
Memories to remember were
when set of young men gather
ed uptown to go on coon hunt.
They generally had a dozen dogs
and stayed out, generally all
night. But they would have some
thing to show for it the next
morning. They had 6 or 3 coons
and said the trip at night was
better than getting the game.
They generally went as far as the
Tybout Woods below Blackbird
and never stopped travelling un-
til about daybreak.
Memories to remember were the
days when Colt Station was the
main place for producing and
shipping huckleberries to all parts
of the country. An army of pick
ers were called out to gather the
berries and they would come back
at noon each picker having a big
bucket filled with the big kind of
berries. Each days picking SEEM
ed to amount to 100 crates and
these were shipped promptly to
New York and Boston by express.
This enterprise gave a job to
many people who would other
wise be unemployed. About 130
pickers engaged in the work and
they knew how to get the berries
in the quickest time possible.
The rigors of winter tore the
dirt roads all to pieces. Big ruts
that were left there still continue
to block traffic to a great extent.

close had many hard breaks to

Soils and CROPS
Check Moisture,
Fertility Supply
By ARTHUR F. SHAW


help but observe an extreme contrast
in the agricultural pictures of the var
ious areas. In the dryland sections you
can find areas where some yields topped
previous records, other areas harvest
ed about an average crop and still
other areas suffered complete failure
or nearly so. The same is true of the
livestock feed situation
A drought year-even in localized
areas as it was this year-creates
many knotty problems. But now is
good time to start looking into next
years prospects.
SubsOil Moisture Situation
Last spring the subSoil moisture re-
serve in summerfallow in practically
the entire dryland area of the state was
as good as or better than in any pre-
viOus year of record Three to four
feet or more of subSOil moisture doesn't
always insure against a crop failure
but it helps. That was the situation
this last season. Since timely rains
during the growing season failed to
materialize, there wasn't much to be
gained by Summerfallowing
AS of Aug. 81 in the eastern end of
Montana moisture in fallow could be
summarized in this way:
In medium type soils the top four
to five inches were dry Exceptions to
this were cases where evening showers
had soaked in an inch or two in some
areas. Four to II inches down was
considered moist and from u to Is
inches only slightly moist. Below 18 to
20 incheS-dry.
AS it looks to me. if this stored mois-
ture situation is not improved before
freeze-up, little closer look at the
Soil Bank program is in order.
A little time spent with an auger-
if you have One-or a spade and dig
ging down in your fallow will be time
well spent. Dig down in different To-
cations in the fallow on your farm
Yes, there's time yet to do it this fall.
Begin your inventory of 1857 produc-
tion resources early. still advise this
in light of the fact that the 1857 crop
could be a good one and produced
solely on 81 moisture. But that. I
maintain, is long shot without crys-
tai ball.
Can You Top These?
Some mighty good yield reports on
Park oats have been coming in from the
irrigated sections. From the maximum
rotation experimental plots at Huntley
yield of 1856 bushels per acre was
obtained. Of course, the size of plot
was only u acre and yield was de.
termined on a 32-pound bushel, but
that's still lot of oats. At Poison
DR.. Teele is reported to have harvested
a 196-buShel crop. At Columbus. MI
father-in-law produced approximate,
ITO bushels per acre-machine meas
ure-on 712 acres.
From this it is beginning to look likC
100-bushel oat crop under irrigation
should be the rule rather than an ex
ceptiOn. In all three of these cases
well planned rotation program has beel
followed-alfalfa to years followe,
by small grain or row crop Combine,
with the rotation has been the applica
ton of barnyard manure and CONNER
cial fertilizers. But all of this woul
| be of no value if the readily availabl
| soil moisture was not maintaine
| throughout the growing season.
