Publications
Released For
Montana

Bozeman = Two new circulars
on wheat production are available
for Montana growers.
The publications, Spring Wheat
Production in Montana" and
winter Wheat Production in
Montana" were published by the
Montana Extension Service at
Montana State College.
Authors Arthur F. Shaw and
Ralph D. Mercer, Extension ayr
onomists at MISC, explain quality
of State spring and winter wheat,
and describe in handbook fashion
proper management methods re-
commended for producing the best
possible crop.
Explaining the present wheat
situation, they say that in 1857
and 1858, wheat production in
Montana changed significantly.
Because of winter-hardy varieties,
favorable climatic conditions, i'm
proved seeding equipment, and in
creased use of fertilizers, winter
wheat invaded the normal spring
wheat producing areas.
Treasure State farmers produc-
ed "a million bushels more winter
wheat than spring wheat in 1858
Never before, the agronomiSts say
has winter wheat exceeded spring
wheat to this extent.
Copies of the publications are
now available at County Extension
Offices.

mobile general manager and a
vice president of General Motors,
announced today.
Despite a 6-week suspension of
manufacturing in November and
early December, our dealers de-
lvered a total of 361,850 new
OldsmobileS to their customers
during the II month period"
Wolfram stated.
although the steel shortage adj
verSely affected production, sales
and employment in the latter
part of the year, 1859 was a good
year for OldSmobile, its employees,
its dealers, and its suppliers," he
added
'9There is every reason to be-
lieve, with the steel dispute set
tied, that our business will be
even better in 1860. Now that we
have resumed production there is
evidence of increasing interest in
new cars" Wolfram said.
"In fact, Oldsmobile dealers re-
port that visitors to their show
rooms have increased materially
since the steel settlement was an
nounced,' he added. This means
that buying interest in 1860 auto
mobiles is mounting rapidly.
eSpublic acceDtance of the 1870
Oldsmobile is very gratifying. J

WATCH RANGE LIVESTOCK
NUTRITIONAL NEEDS CLOSELY

From now on until the green
grass season, nutritional needs Of
range livestock require close at
tention. The nutrients which
really bear watching are protein.
phosphorus, and vitamin A. Vita
min A, however is much more
critical in the case of cattle as
sheep have a much greater ability
to store this important nutrient
than cattle.
If alfalfa hay serves as the main
source of supplemental feed, it is
highly important that it be OF
proper quality to supply the need
| ed nutrients. From analyses run
on several samples of alfalfa hay
here in the Valley this winter, the
protein content has run from a
low of 11% to a high of 17%,
and the carotene content has
varied from 5 to 80 milligrams
per pound. One milligram OF
carotene will furnish around 1867
international units of vitamin A
! All samples were submitted from
! soil which has had commercial
fertilizer for several years, and the
alfalfa was well above minimum
requirements for this importan'
mineral. AS would be expected
the alfalfa hay with the leas
amount of coarse stems and the
highest percentage of leaves teSteC
the highest in protein. The leafier
greener hay also tested highest IL
carotene content. From the i'm
portant nutrient standpoint, th'
quality of hay is all-importan
and should be given real consider
alton in determining supplemental
ton needs.
, If grass hay and native rang
supplies the main source of rough
age, a protein pellet fortified wit
vitamin A and phosphorus Shout
certainly be considered. Gras
hay, unless cut in the early stage.

Claim Unemployment
AS New Year Begins

A total OF 1886 MontananS
were claiming unemployment
compensation benefits as the new
year began, nearly $500 more
than a year ago, according to
Chadwick H. Smith, Chairman of
the Unemployment Compensation
Commission. Women filed 2,481
claims, 16 per cent of the state
wide total. Fifty-nine individuals
received their final benefit pay
ments during the week.
AS predicted last week, this
weeks claim total is up 2,705 from
the week before, Smith said. Some
lof the rise, he explained, is due
to holdover claim filing from the
three-day Christmas week. Smith
said he expects claims to increase
1890 or more next week due to
the beginning of a new calendar
quarter which will allow many
eligible persons to file claims for
the first time this winter.
At mid-December, Montana was
second highest in the nation In
insured unemployment, Smith
added. The latest figures from the
u. S. Department of Labor placed
Montana's ratio of insured un-
employed at 10.1 per cent. The
National average for the same
time was AS per cent. A1aska,s
ratio of 1875 per cent was highest.
Economic forces which caused
statewide claim increases last
week included:
, "a Idle Anaconda smeltermer
awaiting recall to employment
(2) Post = season layoffs OF
trade, service and post office
workers
CD The windup of sugar re-
filming operations at Billings, Har'
din and Sidney.
al Continuing layoffs in out
side work including construction

a half years to have an adult

He said the court was 233 ju-

spite the fact that the court

Judge Edith Cockrill retired in
1857 and that the court, a year
later, innovated a system
whereby John Larkin, director
of social work, weeds out cases

yesterday.
The Commissioners have
been urging the House District
chairman most of the session
to sponsor the six-point tax
program. Congressional rules
demand that revenue measures
originate in the House. and for
the District, that means such
measures originate with Mr..
Mcmillan.
1t was understood that the
Commissioners hope their tax
proposals will cover pay raises,
not only for teachers, police
and fireman but for classified
employees as we'll. And they
hope the public works bill will
be covered by a supplemental
request for about 81 million in
additional Federal payments
plus 81 million in surplus and
increased revenues.
The tax package includes a
reduction of the minimum
graduated bracket for personal
income tax from $1,000 to 81
900; a cigarette tax rise from
2 cents to 3 cents a package;
removal of unincorporated
business franchise tax exemp-
tions for self-employed pro-
fessional persons and others
offering personal services; an
increase in the wholesale IL

If Congress clears this bundle
of taxes, the Commissioners
have pledged they will increase
real estate tax rates from $3.50
to $3.50 per 500 of assessed
value.
One or the other OF the rev.

4 INCHES TOO FAR
Wall Suit
Award Is
Affirmed

Four inches of space can
make a considerable difference
in house-crowded Georgetown,
the United States Court of Ap-
peals indicated today.
The court upheld a $3.50
verdict in favor of Mrs. Helen
L. McCauley for a neighbor's
trepaSs. A. L. Wheeler, a devel-
oper. who has to pay. had built
a 25-foot high wall next door
at 2718 Olive avenue NV. ex-
tending 4 inches on her prop
erty.
Mr.. Wheeler had brought up
a 1871 regulation which pro-
vides that a wall can be built
on the dividing line between
two premises, extending partly
on the neighbor's property, if
it is for their common use.
Mr.. Wheeler had argued that
he only added to a lower wall
built by Mrs. McCauley some
years before. But the appeals
court maintained that her wall
had only been for protecting
the view and largely for
aesthetic purposes.
Mr.. Wheeler, said the court,
destroyed her wall and replaced
it with a brick wall of con-
siderable thickness and height,
forming one exterior wall of
his house.
AS a result, the outside steps
leading to Mrs. McCauley's
kitchen were reduced in width
from 2812 inches to 241a inches,
it said.
The appeals court upheld a
District court decision that
the entranceway became sub
stantially less useful to Mrs.
McCauley and added that the
damages awarded to her were
reasonable.

The
Rambler
Sings
Aud Lang Syne
By GEORGE KENNEDY


Fifty years ago, in May,
1910, five girls in the home
economies class at Mckinley,
at Seventh street and Rhode
Island avenue, formed a
sorority to be known by the
Greek letters Alpha Delta
Alpha.
In those years there was
a great deal of criticism
about education in our public
schools. Parents we're ap-
plying pressure as they do
today - although this was
long before the PTA.
John Dewey and William
James probably had little
to do with it. Their prag-
matiSm, or practically, and
that of the parents of that
day and this, came from the
same roots-Middle Glass
America.
There, I used a bad word
and must hasten to explain
that this country, which has
never had an aristocracy, has
had to get along with the
largest and most prosperous
middle class, and the smallest
in regard to production
working class in history.
By the start of this CEN
tury grave doubts had been
raised about teaching alge-
bra and Latin to the young
people flocking into the newly
created high schools.
Was it practical?
One answer to this ques-
ton was home economics.
And that is why so many
attractive girls from all sec
tions of the city were sent
to Mckinley Manual Train
ing School. They were to be
wives. Why not teach them
cooking and sewing?
Marian A. Zimmerman of
the Kennedy Warren, a re-
tired kindergarten teacher
and present president of
Alpha Delta Alpha, remem-
berS it well.
