ancient people originated the
week of seven days from the

their gods and they worshiped
them. So they set aside one
day each week for the worship
of the sun, another for the
moon and so on. The sun was
their most important god and
its day of worship was called

The Chaldeans divided the

this way they evolved the II

HELENA
Would Use Feed Grains 10
Push Overseas Progress

WASHINGTON, D.C.-(CNS)-
The Kennedy Administration is push.
ing a plan to convert surplus U. S.
feed grains into high protein food
for people overseas, using their CO.
ops.
This is the way the plan would
work: A farmers coop in Latin
America would agree to branch into
poultry production and marketing. 1t
would ask the new u. S. Agency for
International Development for a s.
year loan to build a plant and buy
breeding stock.
During these five years, the u. s.
Food for Peace Agency would give
the coop as much feed grain as il
needed. The coop, in turn, would
agree to give poultry products equal
to the value of the free feed to work
ers, as part of their wages, who're
building low-cost housing, schools,
roads, or medical clinics.
Other income the coop earned
would go to pay off its AID loan.
After five years, the coop would
begin buying feed from local sup
pliers, and it would quit giving away
any of its products.
George McGovern, Food for Peace
administrator, who proposed the plan
November 18, pointed out these ad-
vantages:
1t would transform feed grain,
much of which is suitable only for
livestock, into high protein food for
hungry people.
1t would build various public
works overseas which aren't feasible
now because there's no money to pay
laborers.
1t would put idle people to work
by paying part of their wages.
1t would permanently raise the
protein-level of peoples diets over
seas.
. 1t would help co-ops expand their
services so their farmer
would know they could prof
itably raise high-protein food prod
ucts.
AID would get it's money back,
and u. S. taxpayers would pay for
the feed. 1

| and watershed control and if the
stripping continues it will cause
irreparable damage, the complaint
asserts
The complaint says James Toole
claims some interest in the land on
the basis of mining claims and notices
of location which were filed in the
clerk and recorders office of Judith
Basin county in October and Deem
Der of 1859. All the defendants, the
complaint says, made some claim to
the land on the basis of a purported
placer mining claim filed in Judith
Basin county in April, 1860.
The government claims it is abso-
lutte owner of the land and, through
the action, seeks to quiet title to it,
to enjoin the defendants from tres
passing upon it and from engaging
in the conversion of materials from
it, to have the mining claims declared
null and void and in addition is ask
ing compensation for alleged damage
to the land.
1t is the governments position, ac-
cording to the complaint, that the
claims are null and void on the basis
the land embraced in the claims in
non-mineral in character, is not valu-
able for minerals and no valid dis
covery was made on the land.
The government further claims the
defendants, as claimants, are not
acting in good faith as theys aren't
using or developing the claims for
mining purposes.

Farmers Incomes Low
Because They Don't
Know What co-ops Can Do

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.-(CNS)-
Farmers could come much closer
to getting their share of the nations
income if they realized what they
and their co-ops could do by work
ing close together, u. s. official
said here last month.
Glenn Heitz, director of Farm
Credit Administrator coop bank
service, said this realization would
mean larger investments in co-ops
and closer farmer control.
Farmers now have only go of
their assets invested in co-ops, Heitz
said, "even though this usually re-
turns much greater benefits than
money invested on the farm
If farmers fully understood what
their co-ops can do, they'd insist
that their coop leaders put much
more energy into co-ordinating and
expanding their efforts instead of
going their individual ways and FREE
quently engaging in unnecessarily
wasteful competition"

Democratic Legislators Taking
State Issues To 'Crussroofs'

Democrats want information so
they can be doing something toward
winning the next election, Ted
Schwinden, Roosevelt county State
Representative, told group of en-
thusiastic party members in Glendive
last week at one of a series of meet
ings being held in eastern Montana.
Schwinden said the meetings came
out of many requests to the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee to
bring the issues to the people and to
transmit the enthusiasm of Democrats
into action at the county level
Schwinden was chairman of the
meetings at which legislators from
the different areas have been appear
ing. Legislators speaking at the Glen
dive meeting included Senator Rich
ard Nixon and State Repr. Francis
Bardanouve, both of Blaine county.
Mrs. Joe Tomalino, Dawson county
chairman, presided.

ton of the 1861 Senate with that of
in-law to a bride of whom they did
not approve, and having to let the
bride prove she could neither cook
or keep house. He explained the at
tempts of the "bride" to eliminate
the hail insurance board and run
away with the money and said, 1--WE
can expect to have the same battle
in the next session..
Among the issues the Blaine county
Senator commented on was the So
called Hitler Bill which would have
given the Governor the power to hire
or fire at his pleasure all members
of boards and offices under the juris-
diction of his office without cause or
hearing.
"The most efficient government
would be a despot", Nixon said,
"but the nearer you come to effici-
ency the more tremendous and Bit
ter price you pay"
Speaking on the appropriation for
the University System, he asked, "By
what miracle can we educate at so
much lower cost than other states?"
and added once our higher education
system has gone down it is difficult
to bring it back.
eff you have some respect for gov
eminent you must realize taxes are
a way we buy from government things
we can get more efficiently than we
can buy them ourselves, Schwinden
told the group. He condemned the
attempts to discredit and create sus-
picion and distrust among the people

servation plan, sprayed for grass
hoppers and this year started water
spreading program.
Unlike so many other ranches there
was no reduction in the number of
animals maintained. The treated soil
produces such good nutrition for the
cattle and sheep that the yield of
calves is 81 per cent and the lambs
115 per cent per cow or eve.
1t was pointed out at the meeting
that overgrazing is the same as Las
Vegas. By any cattle operators fig
ures. it can be shown that they can't
win by overgrazing, but many con-
tinue to gamble to the detriment of
our soil heritage.
The vapors rising from the Japanese
current as it swings from the tropics
of the Orient up into the prevailing
Westerly winds are carried in shore
from the Pacific Ocean in clouds
which are for the most part "wrung
out" by the mountain ranges. The
"rainy half" of the state ends at the
Continental Divide. Plant life in east
ern Montana depends upon the col
lection of moisture stored in the soil
from the winter SHOWS and the spring
rains collected over a span of years.
In our soil is the moisture bank
which can be properly managed to
ride out the drought storms" which
build up because of below normal
precipitation periods.
A drought storm does not hap
pen quickly but is the result of
years of dryness demonstrating
their effect upon mismanaged land.
The Zimmerman ranch has already
restored the moisture reserve of its
soil from the precipitation this fall
The ranges ION the other side of the
barbed wire have only one chance in
three to recover next year even if
normal moisture falls from the big
sky. The drought storm is still with
us next year because of the lack of
moisture generally which began be-
ing noticeable in 1859.

You can't gamble with soil
moisture.
This fact was dramatically
brought home to the Montana
Natural Resources Counci /
meeting Monday, when the eff
feet of the drought of 1960-61
upon the various resources of
the state was reviewed by those
present.
This summer the dryness of the
state reached point equal to that
of the 30's and, according to the U. S.
Weather Bureau, would have been
equally severe except for two factors:
1. The better trucks now used to
haul water and cattle.
2. The lack of wind.
There were notable exceptions in
the hard hit eastern portion of the
state, however. The only thing which
divided the exceptions from the
drought devastation was a barbed
wire fence to show where the gam
blers lost and sound range manage
ment practices proved their merit.
