A bear hunt along the Garrett
county border ended successfully
on Monday morning after the ami
NAL had killed over 20 sheep the
previous night. The story came to
light when Merle Willard, of Oak
land, one of the hunters, returned
to his home here on Monday eve
ming.
The sheep we're being pastured
on the Bill Forman place, just
across the Potomac river from Gar
rett county. From the number of
sheep it was determined that one
bear and possible two had caused
the devastation so the alarm was
broadcast for veteran bear hunters
to congregate.
They did so, about fifteen of
them assembling about daylight
Monday morning. 1t wasn't long
until the dogs accompanying the
hunters picked up the scent and

Arguments Heard
Over Land Case

Arguments were heard before
Associate Judge Neil c. Fraley on
Monday concerning who actually
has possession of four tenths of one
acre of ground in the Red House
section of the county.
In February of this year the
Board of Education sold the aban-
doned Sunnyside School and the
property upon which it stood, to
MIR. and Mrs. Fred l.. Eisinger, of
Washington, d. c., for S6l2. The
sale was made after bids had been
received for the property.
Mr. and Mrs. Eisinger had plan
ned to remodel the building and
use it for a summer home
Mrs. Effie Stahl laid claim to the
land. 1t had at one time been part
of tract of their farm.
Mrs Stahl, through her attorney,
asked that the court declare that
the defendants had no interest in
the school lot and that the deed
that the Board of Education gave to
Mr.. and Mrs. Eisinger be declared
null and void.
The defendants claimed that the
real estate in question had been
in the hands of the Board of Edu-
cation since 1874, and that they had
perfect right to issue a deed fol
lowing the sale of the property.
Judge Fraley took the case under
Amusement and will render de-
cision in the near future

RQEsT. Hunters Successful

from that time until midmOrning
the hunt became spirited. The
dogs finally freed the animal and
he was shot and killed by Rud
Rohrbaugh. By making a post
norton examination the hunters
proved that they had gotten the
right animal for his stomach was
full of wool and chunks of mutton.
They estimated the bear to weigh
at least 300 pounds.
The hunt continued well into the
day since it was supposed that a
second bear was also in the vicinity,
They roamed the area between Bay
ard and Davis, along the Stony
River section, but their efforts to
find any more we're without sue
cess. There is a closed season on
bear but the killing is lawful when
the bears become destructive. The
sheep that we're killed were valued
at approximately $500.

Barn Destroyed
Near GrantSViIIe
In Tuesday Blaze

Fire of undetermined origin de
stroyed barn and large quantity
of hay, grain and farm equipment
on the farm of Ralph Mazier, To-
Gated about nine miles east of
Grantsville and one mile south of
the Green Lantern Inn off route 40
The fire started just before 5 o.
clock Tuesday evening and the loss
was estimated by the owner to be
in excess of $4,000. He said the
loss was not covered by insurance,
since he carried only a small poll
cy on the barn and nothing on the
contents.
Mazier, who is employed as a
timber cutter part time by the Cur
ry Lumber company in Pennsyl-
vania, was not home when the fire
started but arrived shortly after
ward.
The blaze was discovered by his
son, Wayne Mazier, %, who was
operating a small power saw in a
nearby building. He attempted to
remove the equipment and two
calves and a dog but the only thing
he could reach was the tractor
l.
In the meantime his mother, who
was in the dwelling nearby, tele-
phoned the Grantsville and Frost
burg fire companies. Grantsville
responded with its pumper and
tank truck and Frostburg arrived
a few minutes later Firemen from
both units said the building was a
mass of flames when they arrived.
They confined their efforts to saw
ing outbuildings, fences and other
structures in the area.
Firemen remained there until
after 8 o'clock. The barn was a
balloon-type structure 40 by so feet.
In addition to a quantity of grain,
hay and straw, some of which had
been baled, it contained two calves,
dog, cultivator, plows, a grain
drill, binders, a hay loader, a side
delivery rake and other equipment,
all of which was destroyed.
The Mazier family has occupied
the farm for II years. There are
seven children, five of whom are
living at home. Besides Wayne, %,
they include Donna, 10; Gerald, IL;
Dorla, s; and James, 4.

Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-04-01
Confidence In Farm Outlook
Voiced at Falls Farm Forum

ance was held at the Park Hotel the
first afternoon. DR.. Gladys H. Roehm,
Montana State College home economics
department, told of cooking expert
ments conducted by the department, at
a special meeting for women the Sec
ond morning.
Speakers on the second day of the
Forum were Carver, Al Donahoo, edu-
cational director of the Minneapolis
Grain Exchange; DR.. M. M. Kelso, dean
of agriculture, Montana State College:
DR.. A. H. Post, head soils and agron-
omy department, MISC; and H. L. Du-
senberry, Montana Extension irrigation
specialist.
DR.. Kelso predicted that Montana's
crop production will remain under price
pressures for some time, but he de-
clared that the Montana producer will
be in better economic position than his
Eastern colleagues. The livestock pro-
Queer has the more favorable prospects,
as consumer demand for livestock pro-
ducts has grown more rapidly than pro-
duction
Growth of Economy
He also predicted that agriculture will
gradually become less relatively inn
portant in Montana's economic picture,
not because agriculture will not con-
tinue to develop but because other in
dustries will develop faster.
DIR. Post reported that the use of
fertilizers in Montana is increasing
rapidly but that its use of dryland oper-
ations is complicated by moisture varia-
tionS.
Counties where irrigation is extensive
have developed more fully as commu-
mites and have many more employment
opportunities than counties where there
is little irrigation, Dusenberry asserted.
He stressed that the tendency to divert
irrigated fields to other than wheat pro-
duction will have a significant part in
reducing surplus problems.
Donahoo summarized the qualities
that millers desire in wheats and
warned that Montana growers should
guard against raising types that might
lower the state reputation for produc-
ing high quality grain.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1956-04-01

problems were alreu, rev SOlulIohS
were offered, but general confidence
was recurrently expressed by all speak
ers and participants in the second an
nual Farm Forum held at Great Falls
March 81 and % that the problems
will be solved and the future for agri-
culture is bright.
The tone was set from the start by
the first speaker, DR.. r. r. Renne,
president, Montana State College, who
declared that the next Is years look
good for the producers of farm products
if agriculture can put its house in order.
Renne labelled production, which
has been brought about by number of
factors, as the chief cause of the present
dilemma and said that the key to re-
solving it is equating farm production
with demand. He pointed out that the
nations population is expected to reach
$50 millions by 1880 as compared to the
1877 million now and suggested that this
increase in consumers will go far to-
ward balancing supply and demand.
He stressed particularly that growth
and development of the national econ
omy cannot help but reflect favorably
upon agriculture.
Urges Unity of Purpose
Agriculture has the prospect" Rem
ne said. Through its own efforts and
in cooperation with the efforts of the
United States government, of a very
satisfactory quarter of a century
ahead" To strengthen these efforts
further he urged unity of purpose
among the major farm organizations.
BuShrod w. Allin, us. Department
of Agriculture, Washington, DC, and
Frank Parsons, director of research,
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis,
who spoke following DR.. Renne on the
first mornings program also placed
the blame on overproduction as the
chief cause of current farm problems.
Parsons used slides to to show declines
in farm net income, increased costs,
declining parity ration and faster rate
of growth of production than population
and other factors which have created
present problems.
Allin traced the situation back to
the collapse of farm prices after World
War I and found encouragement that
we are now facing up to the fact that
the American agricultural plant has
a production capacity in excess of the
amount that can be sold at free market
prices reasonable to both farmers and
consumers
Farm Income
The average Montana farmer has a
net income before taxes of 81, 723 plus
about $3.50 in food produced on the
farm, Richard L. Johansen, GTA rep
resentative from Minneapolis, told the
forum. Johansen was reporting on a
five-state survey made by the GTA.
This is considerably above the five-state
average of $2,531, Johansen said. but
after deducting normal per cent
return on his investment, the Montana
farmer has a net of only 81 ,627 for his
years work.
Johansen's report was followed by a
panel discussion on the 1856 farm pro-
gram. Panel members were Bill How
ard, executive secretary of the Montana
Farm Bureau; Walter Carver, man.
ager of the agricultural department Of
the us. Chamber of Commerce. johann
sen, Allin and Parsons, who served as
moderator.
