cline. Outside work in construc-
ton, numbering, and the oil fields
started to slack off as the weather
began to control employment
totals in these industries on a day
to-day basis. Tourist traffic was
fading fast, national parks and
resort areas were closing for the
season, and thousands of idled
seasonal workers were starting
new routines. Some went on to
schools and colleges: others, such
as housewives and marginal wor-
kers returned to their homes to
wait until the calendar turned to
another season of employment. A
few will remain actively attached
to the labor market to seek out
part-time employment during the
coming holiday season
In addition to employment los
ses resulting from the metal min
ing dispute, four other major in
dustrial groups suffered substan-
tial employment declines from
August to September Normal sea-
sonal patterns for this time of the
year helped to reduce employment
totals in contract construction and
the service industries 1900 each.

r PRICES AND


A report by National Agricul
tural Research Incorporated sta
ties that purchasing power OF price.
received by farmers as measured
by the parity ratio is 800 as COM
pared to 87Ge last year. The re-
port states that feed ratios fol
poultry and milk products are
up a bit from last year, while
ratios for beef and hogs r below
last years figures.
The total index OF prices re-
ceived by farmers is 239% of the
1910 TO 1914 average, or l6 points
below that of n year ago and
SIS points below the prices paid
by farmers for production and
living items. Said items were re-
ported up SO from last year or
297% this month as compared TO
294% one year ago. All of which
points to less total margin for the
producer.
Population figures do not tell all
of the story as far as future de-
mand is concerned. Many of
economists agree that farm pro-
duction will keep pace with the
demand. This is in face of the
anticipated increase of approxi-
mately 10000 new consumers each
day, going from 100 million now to
200 million by 1866 and 230-240
million by 1875. This looks like
tremendous increases in supply to
meet demands. A possible one

ARMY RESERVE ENLISTMENT
OPENS FOR H. S. SENIORS

Captain Leitner, Glasgow area
Commander announced today tina
enlistment in the Army Reserve is
once again available to High
School Seniors. This is the first
time in two and a half years thai
the Army Reserve has been able
to accept High School students. A
few vacancies exist in all units
under the jurisdiction of the Glas-
gov Area Command and enlist
ments will be accepted on a first
come basis.
The program will afford the
present senior ar opportunity to
complete school and then go on
six months active duty training
either in June, July OF August Of
1860. In addition to taking care
of his military obligation, it will
be particularly advantageous to
the individual who contemplates
going to college in as much as he
will get his active duty portion of
the military obligation out Of the
way and thru sacrifice or delay Of
his first quarter of college, he
can than continue his education
without fear of further inter
ruption.
Individuals interested in en-
listment are urged to contact the
area commander, Glasgow Area
Command, Box 808, Glasgow, Mont;
The Army Reserve Advisor, Box
686, Sidney, Montana or the Army
Reserve Advisor at 312 North

Range research workers at Mon.
tana State College point out tina
one OF the two best times for seed
ing permanent pastures on range
is in the very late fall just before
the ground freezes. The other bes1
time is very early spring.
They also point out that equally
important as time of seeding is
having a well prepared seeded.
This means a firm seeded that is
well packed and as free as posi-
BILE Of competing plants. Planting
small grass seeds in a loose seed
bed too often results in poor stands
because the seed was planted too
deeply.
One way you can be sure of
getting the seed planted at the
right depth is to use a drill made
especially for seeding grass. Such
drills have depth regulator bands
the disks to keep the seed
from being placed too deep.
However, since these special
drills are not available every
where, you will find that an old
grain drill can be modified to
work nicely as a grass seeder.
Whether your grain drill has
or double disk furrow
openers it can be equipped with
regulator bands and packer
wheels. These bands may be
purchased ready to attach to the
disks on your drill or you can
make them yourself from scrap
ron The information for making
hem may be obtained at the
Extension Office. Also

electing the kinds OF grasses and
egumes that will do best in

Strikes Cause Of
Employment Drop

Strikes and resulting unem
ployment are chiefly responsible
for an estimated loss of HOO
!, industrial wage earners from
August to September payrolls ant
pulled employment down to tn
lowest September level since 1854
at which time a metal mining
dispute was also in progress ac-
cording to Chadwick H. Smith
Chairman of the Unemployment
Compensation Commission. En-.
ployment in Montana's non-agri-
cultural industries is figured al
158, 700 at mid-September accord
ing to Commission estimates COM
piled in cooperation with the u,
S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics. The
average September employment
for the past nine years, 1950-58,
measures 163,70O. Over the year
employment losses from Septem-
Der, 1858 to September, 1859, is
fixed at $500 wage earners. Under
normal conditions, the Fall sea-
son usually brings a drop of about
1000 workers from August to
September payrolls. This is a part
of the natural pattern of the en-
ployment cycle in Montana as
seasonal industries begin their
annual decline.
Two widely unrelated factors :
one economic and the other sea-
sonal combined to depress labor
market activity on the September
scene, Smith explained. The heavy
weight of continued labor disputes
in metal mining and numbering
lay hard on the scale of labor
supply and demand, and a size
able portion of the Montana econ
omy felt the first real sharp eff
fects of the unbalance. Sixty
percent of the monthly en-
ployment decline, or a loss of
$500 workers, is attributed di-
rectly to the metal mining dispute.
Despite several meetings between
union and management officials,
prospects of settlement appear to
be as uncertain now as they were
eight weeks ago. The 1854 metal
mining dispute which lasted eight
weeks ended on October Is of that
year and was the factor largely
responsible for depressed employ
nent totals at that time. Some of
The idle strikers who had found
temporary or seasonal employ

abor supply began to mount dur
ng September and the month
ended with $500 jobseekers regis
,ered with the states % local
employment offices. Thirty per
cent Of this total, or $500 were
employment through the
Butte local office. During the 1854
metal mining dispute, the state
applicant count for Septem-
Der was $3.50, of which 727 were
Butte applicants.
Rising secondary unemployment
from the metal mining
abor dispute, and the lumber
trike at Missoula accounted for
much of the balance OF the Sep
ember employment decline, Smith
In smaller measure normal sea-
onal factors also made their con-
ribution to the employment de-

Don't 0verdnve
Your Headlights

The Minnesota Editors Acct
dent Reduction Campaign recently
pointed out that if you drive so
or more miles per hour at night,
the chances are you are overdriv-
ing your headlights-you can't
possibly stop within the distance
you can see ahead.
Paul Martz, chief of the Min
nesota Highway Patrol, endorses
this warning. He notes that the
laws of this state require head
lights capable of Illuminating an
object up to $50 feet away. How
ever, an average passenger car
travelling at SO miles an hour with
average brakes needs 366 feet in
which to stop.
Properly adjusted headlights
on the newer cars usually meet
the 350-foot requirement." the
chief explains. But the driver is
travelling at least 16 feet in the
dark. BY the time he can see
the danger, he is too close to
stop"
Martz is concerned over other
factors that increase the danger.
If the headlamps are poorly adj
justed, or if there is dust or CRIME
on the lamp lenses or on the
windshield, the efficiency of even
the best headlights may be re-
duced as much as SO per cent.
Rain spray and mud can do much
worse. He also advises against the
use of low-beam lights, which
greatly increase the after-dark
hazards because they seldom pro-
ject more than $50 feet.
Highway engineers have been
doing what they can to reduce the
hangers Of nighttime driving and
heir efforts have resulted in some
in after-dark accident
'ates.
Especially on the newer roads,
,avements have been made wider
md smoother and sight distance
improved by Strengthening hills
md curves. Perhaps their biggest
contribution to nighttime driving
afety has been the use of reflec-
i've materials for road signs,
lazard markers, curve delineators,
nd eve for the center lines
nd edge strips on the pavement. !
These reflective devices glow {

lie or hazard, it is up to the driver I

stop. L
Because the chances of being in
olved in a smash-up are still v
luch greater at night than in 4
aylight, safety experts offer these s
ps for after-dark driving:
l. When you enter the car from :
brightly lighted area, sit in the
ark for a few moments to give
eyes time to adjust to the
lange.
2. Keep your speed 10 to Is
lies per hour below your normal
speed. If your foot gets
'avy on the gas, remember that
'ur stopping distance, in feet,
a little more than five times
speed in miles.
3. Keep your windshield clean.
,ery time you clean your wind
leld, clean your headlights
d tail lights.
4. Dim your instrument panel
hts at night-it will help you

A SUGGESTION ON
SOIL TESTING

If you r planning to work on
a program for the use of com
mercial fertilizers on your place
keep in mind that a soil test is the
first step and a necessary one
Until you know what your sol.
lacks you cannot intelligently
select fertilizer.
Fall is a good time Of year to
take these soil samples. For one
thing by doing the job now you'll
have your sample in early for
testing and you'll get the analysis
and recommendations that much
sooner. Also this will give you
more time to plan your fertilizer
needs and get the fertilizer order
ed ahead of the spring rush.
However, in taking soil samples
it's important that the sample be
truly representative of the field.
This means taking samples from a
number of different places in the
field and then mixing them thor
oughly to get a representative
sample.
Then there are two other re-
quirements. One is a special en-
velope for sending your sample to
the laboratory and the other is
the correct filling out of a data
sheet. This sheet provides the
Information necessary for making
IN accurate Interpretation of the
tests.
Your county Extension Office
las both the envelopes and the
sheets. Your county
gent will be glad to advise you
n the correct way to take sam
lies and to help you fill out the !

es the sample.
