years. If it were not that mirrors
show my thinning hair is white as
snow, if rheumatism didn't make my
knee joints creak and poor back
ache, and if Mirandy, plain to see,
weren't uglier than she used to be,
I'd swear that time had stopped its

Twas clear back then that / first

porting that I had a scheme for

would have each farmer stay in bed
until nine ev'ry day; no one would
work from noon til three, and after
five we'd all be free to do whatever
we might wish; three days week
we'd hunt or fish and Saturdays we'd
all shut down to argue politics in

less and thus avoid surplus mess;

Montana Farmers Can Plant
Durum but on Limited Basis

MONTANA FARMERS will again be
allowed TO plant durum wheat on their
diverted acres but apparently not on
quite so liberal basis as last year
Though full details have not yet been
announced, bill has been signed by
the president which permits farmers
in counties which have durum his
tory las established last year, that's
almost every wheat-producing county
in the state) to seed three acres to
durum for every acre that he reduces
his regular wheat allotment Thus if
a farmer has: an allotment of 100
acres and plants only rs acres to
spring or winter wheat, he can plant
durum on the remaining Is acres. of
his allotment and on so additional
acres of his diverted land.
No Provision for Winter Wheat
According to. press notices of the
bill. farmers who planted their full
allotment TO winter wheat last fall will
not be eligible to plant durum unless
they pillow out some of their allotment
or have to reseed because of winter
kill.
In 1855 farmers in eligible counties
were permitted to plant as many acres
to durum as they wished.
q Per Cent Raised Durum
A poll taken by Montana Farmer
Stockman shows that q per cent OF
Montana wheat producers raised some
durum in 1855. Their success was such
that many more {S1 per cent? declared
their intention to seed durum in 1856
if they were permitted to do so OF
diverted acres.
Some producers reported yields a:
high as 40 bushels to the acre. Av
erage yield for the state was 2
bushels. Total production in the stat,
was 5,e91,6O bushels valued at $12
8O5, 900.
Weather factors in 1855 were sue
that the Montana crop was of exceI
tionaily high quality.
Most growers reported that the

the farm and few anticipated any seri-
Gus marketing problems. Few said they
expected any serious trouble from mix
ing of varieties but most were taking
measures to prevent such an occur
renee
Avoid Mixes
Thorough cleaning of drills, combines,
truck and granaries was mentioned
among preventive steps being taken.
Some growers planned to isolate durum
fields and to do an extra good job of
summerfallowing durum ground to kill
off any volunteer growth.
Dealers warn that growers should
use extreme care to plant only pure
seed of approved varieties of durum.
Any durum showing mixture of 10
per cent or more of other wheats will
not only be discounted but will be held
in noncompliance That is, durums with
mixture of 10 per cent or more of
other wheats will be counted as over
planting of wheat allotment.
IS Per Cent Comply
The Montana Farmer-Stockman poll
also showed that more than IS per cent
of Montana wheat farmers complied
with their wheat allotments and quotas
in 1855. Most operators raised COM
bination of crops on their surplus acres.
These crops included barley, raised by
II per cent of the growers; duruIn,
81 per cent; grass, 20 per cent; oats.
10 per cent. Smaller numbers raised
mustard, flax, alfalfa, corn and sor-
ghunl. Twenty-Five per cent of the OPP
orators reported they left their surplus
land in fallow.
While most operators followed nc
plans other than to seed feed grains
grass or durum on surplus acres, few
reported shifting to some type of live
stock. Six per cent went into cattle
8 per cent into hogs, rs per cent int
sheep and per cent to feeding.
Twenty-Five per cent reported the
had always been diversified and simpl
increased their livestock numbers.

THE IMPORTANCE OF VOTING.

Numerous excuses are offered by people who are too
Indifferent to exercise the priceless right of voting Some
times they say my vote won't make any difference; they
will elect who they want anyway Who they may be is
never completely explained.
Some persons suk because the candidate they profess
to favor defeated Those who complain most bitterly
usually people who have not bothered to vote More of them
at least did not take part in campaign They profess to be
parsans yet expended neither time energy money in
behalf of keeping their party in power.
It said by George Jean Nathan that bad officials
are elected by good people who do not When we con
40 million people did not bother to vote When 40 per
cent of qualified citizens too Indifferent to exercise
this priceless right and privilege look forward
to any great degree of stability in Government
We profess to believe in twoparty system of Govern
ment yet too many of us give this than lip service
We hold to the theory that two parties almost evenly
balanced expect each party to do its utmost to select
the most capable candidates. Too often confuse capaby
for popularity and conclude we have done thing
when select for candidates. people who popular and
welked. But popularity is quite long way from ability,
for many people who have capacity for filling office
popular merely because they have taken active
useful positive part in public affairs We cannot expect
much achievement after they elected to office of men
who have taken positive action who have
pressed opinion forth energy and effort in conse
Grated devotion toward the achievement of things beneficial
and progressive for the public.
No matter what ones politics may be; matter the
candidates he favors fulfilling his duties failing

for and achieved for and handed down Free through
of unsesh ancestors who wished to provide something

BUSINESS. Regardless of how
the election comes out, look for
Congress to take a whole new APP
proach at legislation affecting
small business next year.
AS the campaign develops, small
business is becoming major is
sue, with both parties staked out
to take positive action to bring
more security to the small business
world.
One of the first steps that will
probably be taken is to enlarge
the size and scope of the Small
Business Administration. The SBA
has proved it can be big help
to small business in the relatively
short time it has been in opera
ton.
PROBLEMS. The seriousness of
the small business problems,
which seem to be general through
out the nation, is reflected in the
following 1dcIS.
/. Business failures have in
creased from 90 per cent per TO-
900 firms in 1852 to 40 per cent
for the first six months of 1856
2. While the profit rates OF
small businesses have dropped
more than half, the large corpora
tions have enjoyed a 63.8 per cent
increase in profits since 1852.
ISSUE. The Democrats are
charging that the Eisenhower Ad-
ministration has been dragging its
feet in meeting the needs of the
small business man even in cases
where machinery is set up to meet
problems.
They cite these facts to bacl
up the charges:
A compilation of the Small
Business Committee of the House
shows that the SBA receives about
1900 requests for loans pei
month. At the same time, in the
years 1854, 1856 and so far thi:
year, only about 5000 application:
were accepted, and only 1920 APP
plicants have actually received
loans.
SOCIETY. The North Caroline
Society of Washington will oper

night with dance in the Yves
Ballroom of the Shoreham Hotel.
In announcing the program fol
the new year, President John A
Lang said new efforts would b,

area, and the tragic story of that
Lost Colony had long interested
him. He put it together into what
he called an outdoor symphonic
drama, the first of it's kind. Here
was the story he told:
"In 1884, the first band of
Englishmen established fort on
Roanoke Island (actually that was
the date Of islands discovery
the first band of men were left
on the island in 1850 and left 18
men to guard it. When ships re-
turned a year later, nothing but
ruins remained, overgrown with
the lush greenery of the verdant
island"
"Undaunted they rebuilt the
the fort, and brought out the first
real settlers, whole families with
women and children. (This was in
1879
"Before Governor White left
with the British ships to return to
England for supplies, he worked
out a signal system with the
colonists.
"If they were forced by circum-
stances to leave the islard fort,
they would carve the name of their
destination OF: the trunk of tree
the word alone if they left
voluntarily, the word surmounted
by a cross if they left under
duress.
"Four years passed before the
Governor could return, and once
more they found nothing but ruins.
"But carved on the trunk of a
tree was the word 'Croatoan,' the
name of a nearby Indian tribe.
That was all. No trace was found
of the missing settlers and gone
with them was Virginia Dare.
"The music-drama played its
first performance in 1887, and has
been repeated every year since
then-except for four of the wal
years-to audiences that now total
nearly a million persons.
"Mr. Jordan's connection with
the show began four years ago
He started out in a shipyard al
Newport News, and became ar
inspector for the yard. But his
true love was show business, and
he was always on the edges Ct
it," he said.
"The tall, soft-vOiced grazing
Virginian ran talent agency ir
Newport News in his spare time
played the piano in the loca
orchestra and once had his owl
15-minute show on a Norfolk tele'
vision station. He moved to Nag'
Head, near the Lost Colony few
years ago, and became interested
in the drama.
"Then the job of general man
ager of The Lost Colony was opei

edges any MORE" he smiled, "bu
