history, the 1858 base established
for the farm. Because of this law
a farms history is protected in
1858 regardless of whether the
farm is overSeeded or in compli-

reaching effects on State and
county history since the protec-

county and State.
The acreage history which will
be credited to a county and state
for a farm which exceeds its al
lotment will be the allotted acre

generally about one-third small

1858 Compliance Will Affect
State and County Allotments

The extent to which Montana
farmers comply with their 1858
wheat acreage allotmepts will
have a considerable effect on
State and county allotments for
1860 and thereafter, Leo S. Kol-
stad, State Agricultural Stabili-
cation and Conservation admin
strative officer, reminded them
this week.
The reminder is timely since
operators of overseeded farms
must decide soon if they will de-
stroy excess acreage to comply
with their allotments. Final dates
by which wheat acreage in ex-
cess of the allotment must be dis
posed of, if it is not to count
against the farm allotment, are
July IL for wheat seeded last
fall and July 81 for wheat seeded
this spring.
Producers who do not comply
with their farm allotments will
lose history for their county and
the State under existing legisla-
ton, Kolstad explained. Public
Law 1896 provides that every
farm excepting those under
the feed wheat exemption pro-

whole county with the city
standing the entire cost of the
operation of the library.
If an agreement can be reached
and the library becomes a city
county project then there will be
no charge for a library card which
will be in accordance with state
laws of Montana. Also this will let
the library participate in the use
of Federal funds that are available
only to a county : city library
which means that in the not too
distant future Richland county
would be in line for a bookmobile
or in other words a travelling Ii
brary to cover the entire county.
BY law the city can only levy
SO much money for the operation
of the library which does not al
low for its adequate operation and
if the county could pay their fair
share then there would be ample
money to give the service that is
being demanded and not being e.
ceived due to conditions beyond
the control of anyone.
The commissioners feel that
they do have a responsibility in
this matter and have taken it I'M
der advisement with the hope that
at least a few people will come
forth and express their views on
this vital subject. Your views
should be passed on not later than
July 7th which will be the next
regular meeting of the county
commissioners and the city coun-
Gil of Sidney.

Canal Swimming
Very Hazardous

Summertime is too often
touched with the tragedy of a
small child falling into an irri-
cation ditch or even of a good
swimmer caught in the under
tow of a swiftly running canal"
Axel Person, Project Manager
of the Lower Yellowstone Prof.
ect, stated today while discuss
ing the continuing need for edu-
cational water safety. "Such ira
gedies can be avoided if every
one is constantly vigilant, but il
requires that everyone-parents
and children-do their part.
During the past weeks several
such tragedies have occurred In
our general area Recently, a g.
year-old boy was drowned in a
small lateral near his home on
the Shoshone Reclamation Prof.
ect in northern Wyoming, near
Powell. More recently near Sill
yer Star, in Montana, an 49,
month-old boy attempted to tod
die after his father, who had left
for the fields, and fell into an
ditch and was drowned.
During the irrigation season
constant vigilance must become
an everyday need, particularly
when laterals and canals are To-
Gated near farm homes where
small children live. The neces-
sity for alertness is not associat-
ed only with small children who
do not realize the danger. Older
youngsters will continue to use
an irrigation canal as a swim
ming hole even though they know
it is dangerous.
Use of irrigation facilities for
recreation is dangerous under
any circumstances" Mr.. Person
emphasized. Swimming in an ir-
rigation canal is a hazardous

Washington, D. c., June % -
Clarence Francis. national chair
man of the Citizens Committee for
the Hoover Report, predicted to-
day that the Senate will act on
President Eisenhower's Defense
reorganization plan ION a bipar-
tisan plane"
The Citizens Committee is
strongly supporting three amend
ments asked by the President to
strengthen the House-aproved bill,
H. r. 1854. The amendments were
rejected by the House on June IL
by 211 to 1872 in a vote which
followed party lines.
MIR. Francis said: Actually the
issues boil down to just one basic
question: will we settle for limited
reorganization of the Defense De-
partment or do we really want
what the bipartisan Hoover Com
mission recommended - real uni
fication of the armed services un-
der civilian control? | think the
Senate will settle the question on
its merits and that the decision
will be reached on a bipartisan
plane"
The Citizens Committee, in its
publication, Reorganization News,
noted that two former Presidents,
Herbert Hoover and Harry S. Tru-
man, have given support to the
Administrations program. MIR.
Hoover has declared himself 100
percent" in favor of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's objective and Mr.. Tru-
man has termed u~nification 'long
overdue"
Commenting on the House &C.
ton on H. r. 1854, Reorganiza-
ton News said:
every member was deeply con-
scious of strong public sentiment
for unification. The die-hard
opponents of unification really
wanted no legislation at all
