ing a SIS tie with a run in the
ninth inning.
The winning run was scored

cry Blair High, was out at

George Washington University,
struck out Perry Currin with
two on and two out.
Joe Quinn homered for Fed
eral and Gino D'Ambrosio for
Silver Hill. Jim Wexler pitched
eight-hit ball for Silver Hill and
struck out IA. He was the vic
tim of two unearned runs in

Montana Wheat
Allotment Share
.4,O33,335 Acres

Montana's share of the 55-mil-
llon-acre national wheat allot-
ment for 1859 will be 4,O33,33s
acres, Leo S. Kolstad, State ASC
Administrative officer, has an
nounced.
Montana's 1858 wheat allotment
was 4,058,327 acres.
County allotmentS will be an
nounced in time so that farm al
lotments may be determined and
notices mailed to producers well
ahead of the June 20 wheat mar
ketlng quota referendum, Kol-
stad said. County ASC Commit
tees, assisted by community COM
mittees, T now determining
farm bases SO that county allot-
ments can be prorated among ell
lgible farms. Farms are eligible
for 1859 regular wheat aIlotments
II there was acreage classified as
wheat on the farm in 1856 or
1857, or the farm was in the Ac-
reage Reserve in either year, or
the farm has a 1858 wheat al
lotment larger than zero.
State allotments were determin-
ed on the basis of the acreage
seeded for the production of
wheat during the 10 years 1948-57
with adjustments for abnormal
weather and trends in planting.
County allotments will be de-
termined on essentially the same
formula, Kolstad said. In deter
mining farm bases, committees
consider past acreage of wheat,
crop rotation practices, tillable
acres, type of soil and topogra-
ply.
The Secretary of Agriculture's
recent proclamation of allotments
and quotas on the 1859 wheat
crop is the sixth successive year
such production and marketing
controls have been invoked. Acre
age allotments do not require
producer approval but marketing
quotas must be approved by at
least two-thirds of affected pro-
ducers to remain in effect. Wheat
growers will make the decision
for their 1859 crop on Friday,
June 20, 1858.
If quotas are approved, wheat
price support will be available to
farmers who comply with their
allotments at the full support rate
to be announced by the referen-
dunn. If quotas are disapproved,
price support at 500 of parity
will be available to growers who
comply with their acreage allot-
ments.
If quotas are approved, grow
ers who exceed their acreage al
lotment and are not exempted
under the feed wheat or 15-acre
minimum provision of law, are
subject to marketing quota pen
alties on excess wheat. The pen
atty is 45% of the May /, 1949
wheat parity price. If quotas are
disapproved, there are no restric-
tons on wheat marketing.

So You Want
To Level Land
BY Walter C. Anderson,
q. S. Soil Conservation Service

Land leveling is a big operation
in Richland county and its get
ting bigger every year. Two years
ago we leveled $50 acres. Last
year we leveled TIC acres. This
year perhaps 800 acres will be
leveled.
Land leveling is done to estaL-
lish a grade on a flat field, eliml-
nate wet or Doggy spots and u
merous field bitches, conserve
water, protect the soil and in
general improve the irrigation of
a field. Conserving labor is moi
the primary objective we are af-
ter but if the above improve
ments r made it usually results
in a savings in labor.
What then is the best land
to level? That's a good question
most farmers will ask themselves.
My answer is to get an SCS soil
survey and determine which
fields have most Of the conser-
walton problems listed above. Lev
ell these fields and usually you
will level a field that will result
in the biggest cash return on
your investment.
Another problem, is what con-
dition should a field be in prior to
leveling? Again an easy ques-
ton! A field should be in grain
stubble or beet ground; it should
not be recently plowed or now in
alfalfa or heavy sod. Either Of
these latter conditions will in
crease the cost of leveling and
nearly always result in an un-
satisfactory job. Another thing,
your moisture conditions should
be approximately 500 of storage
capacity.
We will be looking for you this

The divorce rate there is actually
less than in many other sections.
The national divorce rate for
1947 was 400. In Hollywood,
more than 70% of motion picture
workers have never been di-
vorced, whereas in Peoria, I'LL
nois, the rate recently was re-
ported as being two out of three
marriages. More htan 61% of
Hollywood people attend church
services. More than 71% have
attended college and 35% have
graduated. Around 70% Of all
families in the picture industry
had from one to four members
serving in the armed forces; 66.5
percent own their own homes.

Roy S~tepplers
Report Vacation

MIR. and Mrs. Roy Steppler
are wearing a big broad smile
that just does not come off east
ly. No, it is not a visit from the
stork, but the fact that after an
absence of six months they are
back again in Montana shaking
hands with old friends and all
four tenders are still the same
as when they left in October.
This despite the fact that on
some of the roads they travelled
there are 10000 ears counted in
a "a hour period, which means
perhaps 20 every second during
rush hours.
Mr.. and Mrs. Steppler visited
old friends in California, Arizona
and New Mexico, including the
Jim Sandersons, Goodsons, Math-
isons and many others all of
whom sent their regards to Sid
ney friends. While in California
they visited the parks where the
big Sequoia trees grow, some of
them 81 feet in diameter with
bark 3 feet thick. In Arizona
they saw the Cliff Dwellers, the
Grand Canyon, painted desert,
and Old Tucson, where John
Wayne is starring in a picture,
Smoking Guns, and the meteor
lite crater, a hole in the earth
where it struck, almost a mile
across and 800 feet with an out
side wall around the hole $50 feet
high.
They also saw the petrified
forest which not only is petrified
but has turned to agate. They
watched the big league players
such as Willy Mays, Gil Hodges,
Duke Snider, Pee Wee Rease,
and Pepper Martin perform.
The Stepplers also took in the
Greyhound races which were
quite thrilling.

Farmers Have
Acreage Reserve
Responsibility

Leo S. Kolstad, State ASC Ad-
mlnistrative Officer, today urged
Montana farmers to be careful
about their responsibilities under
the Acreage Reserve of the Soil
Bank during the coming crop
season if they want to get the
full benefit of that program.
In a planting season reminder
to farmers, Kolstad pointed out
that the signer of an Acreage Re-
serve agreement has undertaken
a binding commitment to hold his
reserve tract out of production
during the 1858 growing season.
at will be too bad," he said,
IF a farmer goes into Acreage
Reserve conscientiously and
means to comply, but fails to keep
informed about requirements and
headlines and loses his payment
through carelessness."
With regard to the Acreage Re-
serve tract Gland on the farm di-
verted from allotment crops to
the R%eserve), Kolstad cited three
main requirements as follows:
l. Planting. No crop may be
planted on the Acreage Reserve
before January l., 1859, except
that with the approval of the
State Committee certain crops
may be planed in the fall of 1858
for harvest in 1859 or later,
where that is the normal prac-
tice.
2.Grazing. The Acreage Reserve
may not be grazed before January
/, 1859. Leasing of the land to
others for grazing purposes is
prohibited.
3. Harvesting. No crop may be
harvested from the Acreage Re-
serve during calendar year 1858.
In addition to observing these
requirements on land placed in
Acreage Reserve, Mr.. Kol-
stad said, the farmer must COM
ply with any other acreage al
.otments on his farm and must
Keep within the farms total per-
acreage. The permitted
acreage is the Soil Bank base -
average of grain and
'ow-crops - less land placed in
he Soil Bank.
By willfully failing to comply
With Acreage Reserve agreements
Nr. Kolstad explained, a farmer
will lose his payment, and may,
Under certain circumstances, be
ubject to a civil penalty equal
o 500 of the payment he would
have earned.

This Is Your Guard

In another month Company A
will have completed another fis-
cal year of service to its country,
its state and its community. A
company is the first company of
the first battalion of the 163rd
Armored Regiment of Montana
National Guard. Due to reduced
membership this first company
is in dire danger of becoming
extinct. This situation is of vital
concern to every resident of Sid
ney when one considers that its
loss would mean the loss of a
$500 payroll each year and the
commodities and services pur-
chased in Sidney which amount
to owe $4,000, both these figures
could be doubled with a full
complement of men. An $780, 600
armory erected with your tax
money and local donations
houses nearly a million dollars
worth OF equipment. This is the
financial loss which faces the
community should we lose the
company. The financial loss, how
ever is minor in comparison with
the loss Of the protection to the
and property afforded
by an organized and trained unit
on call at all times Of need. Vet
Grams returning to Sidney deserve
the opportunity of maintaining
their proficiency in military SCI
ence, while non prior service
men need the opportunity to OBJ
tain military training to fulfill
their obligations while finishing
their education or pursuing their
occupations.
To the extent possible the men
of Company A have dedicated
their facilities to the promotion
of activities for the children and
youth of Sidney. The Civil Air
Patrol was the first endeavor.
This unit consisting of approxi-
mately Is teenage boys and girls
are being given the opportunity
to learn about aviation. The
Junior Rifle Club organized early
year were offered use of
our facilities including our indoor
rifle range. This program was so
enthusiastically accepted that the
children now number well over
one hundred. The latest venture
IS a program aimed at the youth
Of the area. 1t is planned to hold
weekly dances, engaging the or

.eenagers. The program is start
ng this Saturday night with mu-
tic by the Moonlight Ramblers.
