"SHELTERBELT TREE
ID

This is the final reminder tina
December 81 is the deadline fol
ordering trees and shrubs for next
springs planting from the For
estry Nursery at Missoula. These
trees are made available at a very
nominal cost to the farmer and
rancher through the Clarke-Mc-
Marry Act.
To date, we have received
around ten orders for new shelter
belt paintings and around five
for requirements in established
belts. This is a little below nor
NAL for this time of year, but the
usual late rush might bring the
totals up to the usual number Of
around thirty orders. 1t is i'm
portant that under dryland con-
ditionS the shelterbelt site be
summer fallowed for one season
prior to planting. Under irriga-
ton it is not necessary to summer
fallow the year prior to planting,
but it is important to have a
well prepared seed bed before the
trees are planted. In Richland
County we have many fine shell
terbelts under both irrigated and
dryland, especially around farm
homes. We do feel a much great
er need, however, for more shell
terbelts around feedlots and cor
rails. Even though a board fence
might be present, it still helps to
have a tree windbreak around
a feedlot for additional protec-
ton.
If you are interested in plan
ming for and ordering shelterbelt
trees and shrubs, please feel free
to call either at our office in the
Court House or the Soil Conserva-
ton Service Office in the base
ment of the Post Office.

EGGNOG is MOST
POPULAR YULE
DRINK IN u. s.

The most popular Christmas
beverage in America is eggnog,
a stepchild of the old English
sack-posset.
In early colonial days hot bev-
erageS and punches were very
popular in America, as they were
in England at that time. The
English have continued to enjoy
them through the years but they
became less popular in America.
1t is only recently that their
use in America has increased.
Sack-posset, from which came
eggnog. was served hot
from a handmade copper kettle.
The drink was served in England
for four or five centuries.

EXERCISE OF
EWES IMPORTANT

AS many owners of farm flocks
have learned the hard way, il
pays to see that the ewes get
plenty of exercise during the
winter months. This is not always
an easy thing to do since it is
often more convenient to keep
the ewes in one pen or corral for
the entire winter. However. any
system you can devise to make
the ewes exercise will pay off in
the long run Some growers make
a practice of feeding the ewes
from a quarter to a half mile
away from their bedding ground.
In this way the animals are
forced to get some exercise.
Ewes that do not get enough
exercise are more likely to have
unthrifty lambs and, also, e
nancy disease is associated with
lack of exercise.
One other point that is worth
mentioning here since it can have
a bearing on the health of the
ewes during the winter. If at
all possible, change the ewes to
fresh feeding ground at least
every week. Feed on the same
ground day after day is risky
business.

NEW
IN HAVING EQUIPMENT

AS we are all aware, this is a
time of great change in agricul-
ture. New ways of doing tasks
and new machines to do them are
in the process of development all
he time. And now come indica-
items that it may not be long
before we viii be seeing some in
novations in hay harvesting
equipment
For example, one company is
working on a new machine that
may replace balers for haying
operations. This machine picks
up cured hay out Of the wind
rows, pellets it and puts it in a
self-unloading wagon. 1t is said
that the pellets can be stored in

COMPLETION OF CREEL
CENSUS DEPENDS
ON RETURN OF LOGS

OF the 300 or more Montana
fishermen who were provided
with Fishermen Log booklets
from the Montana Fish and
Game department for the 1855
season, only a small percentage
have been returned to the Helena
office to date.
AL fishermen who received and
kept the logs are urged to return
them Immediately to the depart
ment. The figures in the books
must be calculated and COM
pleted for the annual creel census
by the end of January.
Personal fishing statistics re-
corded in the log books include
number and kinds Of fish caught,
average length, where taken,
hours fished and other data
which is used as a guide in stock
ing and regulating Montana's
fishing waters.

A COLD WEATHER
REMINDER FOR POULTRYMEN

A continuous supply Of fresh
water for laying hens will pay of
in higher egg production. Re-
searchers at Oregon State College
found that pullets drank 25 per-
cent more water during freezing
when it was available at all
times. Egg production increased
by as much as 20 percent.
When done by hand, watering
takes up about a third of the
time spent in caring for chickens.
An automatic water supply
eliminates this time-consuming
chore.
The Sidney herald., 1958-12-24

less than half the space required
for baled hay. The machine
would also eliminate a number of
hand operations such as picking
up bales and stacking them.
Another new development is
a machine that will make a
wafer of the hay when it is har-
vested and this methods, too, may
have an influence on hay making
practices.
Then there is the progress that
is being made in the pelleting
of all kinds of feeds. On the west
coast there are now companies
which custom pellet feeds to the
specifications the farmer desires.
Whole rations may be pelleted in
any quantity and in any proper
ton or mixture.
All of these developments bear
watching as they may become i'm
portant to you as a producer or
feeder of hay and grain.

Montana Veterinarians Urge
Discontinuance of Free
Brucell0Sis Calf Vaccination

Members of the Montana Vet,
Urinary Medical Association. il
annual winter meeting assembled
at Bozeman, voted almost unan-
imously for a return to the prin.
ciple of private enterprise anc
away from government assistance
with taxpayers money in a free
brucellosis calf vaccination. This
government inspired program has
been in force on a supposedly
temporary basis since 1853, but
has been renewed from time to
time during the past five years
until it threatens to become a
permanent program.
Montana veterinarians have
been unfairly charged as being
parties to what has been termed
a $40 million racket in the mat
ter Of this free brucellosis calf
vaccination program, and by their
action. in convention assembled,
and with a large majority of their
membership present or represen-
ted by proxy, took decisive action
to correct this impression and to
bring about a desired change.
BY a standing vote, with the
ratio favoring it being 10 to one
against, the following resolution
was passed:
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the cooperative
program of Brucellosis Eradica-
ton by the State of Montana and
the Agricultural Research Service
hiss. for the past five years,
provided free vaccination of heifer
calves as a temporary measure,
and
WHEREAS, most practicing
veterinarians have co-operated
with the Agricultural Research
Service, working under a letter
of authorization in this temper
airy free program for control of
Brucellosis, and
WHEREAS, the Agricultural
Research Service is terminating
the letter of authorization with
veterinarians as of Dec. 81, 1858,
and
WHEREAS, the free vaccina-
ton of heifer calves was accepted
by the Livestock Industry of this
State as a temporary measure.
NOW. THEREFORE, BE 1T
RESOLVED, that the practitioners
speaking for the prac-
titioners of the Montana Veterin-
airy Medical Association, recon-
mend to the Livestock Industry
of Montana, to the Livestock
Sanitary Board and to the Agri-
cultural Research Service, that
the Brucellosis vaccination pro-
gram be returned to the private
.racticing veterinarians and sug-
gest that the payment be made by
the individual herd owner.
Done in conviction assembled
at Bozeman, Montana, this 14th
day of December, 1858.

%. The petition complains
that "Federally appointed
Governors have enforced the
punitive provisions Of the Or
ganic Act" Such a complaint
hardly advances the cause of
greater self-government for
the Virgin Islands since it ig-
nores, and even denies the
obligation Of the executive in
a democratic form of govern
raent to uphold and enforce
the law Of the land.
a. The petitions statements
with respect to the present
Governor are rejected in their
entirety. Governor Gordon's
administration has been char
acterized by forward-looking
policies and sound government
tai practices. It enjoys the
support of this department, a
majority of the Virgin Islands
Legislature and, I am con-
WINGED, Of a great majority Of
t h e people of the Virgin
Islands.
TN advancing your plea for
self-government you should
bear in mind that only the
Congress of the United States
has the authority to determine
the political status Of our ter
ritories. AS you may recall, the
Subcommittee on Territorial
and Insular affairs of the
House Interior Committee
held hearings in the Virgin Is
lands in December 1856. Con-
siderable testimony was heard,
both pro and con, regarding
proposed changes in the 1854

May End. The event COMEDIES
with the visit of Princess Mar
garet who will open the first
session of Parliament under
the new Federation Of British

The Cruzan Club will send

select the two paintings that

It is the hope of the Club
that one painting from Saint
Croix will be selected to re-
present them in Trinidad.
