ASC Office Manager Forbidden To
Enter Office By US. Court Order

The letter states the cOnserva-
ton reserve program on his farm
was inspected for compliance re-
gafding acreage June IA, 1860,
and again July 10, 1861, April
6, 1862, and June %, 1862; that
the affairs of his office were
audited on four occasions and
that his seed program was in
spected.
If there were discrepancies
found, why were they not report
ed at the time? He asks.
Other affidavits of the invesu-
gators charge Rasmussen work
ed in the Cut Bank oil fields
during hours OF his duty as Of
flee manager and that he con-
cealed these actions by submit
ting time slips for his office
hours; that he didn't report in
come from this source in 1857
and 1858 to the government for
federal income tax purposes.
In regard to specific charges
made by the special investiga-
tors that he had operated fraud
ulently in the office in regard to
his own participation in agricul
tural programs, Rasmussen de-
MED the accusations, and said
even if the accusations made are
true they do not amount to fraud
or type of activity for which the
state committee could remove
him but, if true, would be fraud
in the conduct of personal af-
fairs.
Rasmussen said also that he
worked no less than 40 hours
a week, contrary to the charges
made.
Rasmussen said in his letter
that the state committee and Nc
Kenna as chairman exceeded
their authority in by-pasSing the
Glacier County ASC Committee
in attempting to suspend him
and '.in affording me absolutely
no chance to defend myself
against those so-calIed charges,
which he deems as false and
known to be false.
Rasmussen, in his replying let
ter, charges the suspension ac-
ton against him is part of a plan
to retaliate against Glacier coun-
ty farmers, the county commit
tee and its employees for oppOs-
ing high-handed and dictatorial
efforts in connection with an at
tempt to establish ''unrealistic
barley yield averages in Glacier
County"

Moisture Adequate To Produce
Normal State Grain Harvest

II is reported that some winter
wheat will be harvested this
week, but the statewide average
beginning date Of harvest is in.
Dictated to be around August 3.
Hay harvesting has been slow
ed by recent showers. but about
90% Of the first cutting of alfal-
IA has been harvested and second
cuttings are getting under way
in some areas. Wild hay is about
45% harvested.
Range grasses made good
growth earlier in the season and
many are now mature and in the
seed stage. Capacity OF ranges is
about average.
The state calf crop is estimat-
ed at 1907 900 head. This is one
percent under last years but 5
percent above the 1880 aver
age.
All-in-all. the report would In.
dictate that both grain I'd sock
ranchers will have a little better
than average season.

Witso III. Rasmussen, office
manager for the Glacier County
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee at Cut
Bank and the latest victim to be
fired by the powerful Montana
ASC Committee of the Depart.
ment of Agriculture, has brand.
ed as far-fetched and false the
charges of fraud used by the
state ASC committee to secure
from a federal court temporary
restraining order from doing his
ASC duties.
Judge w. ID. Murray Thursday
signed an order filed in federal
court at Great Falls temporarily
barring Rasmussen from being
in the office and from perform.
ing its functions, and set July
Is at 1000 am. for hearing to de-
termine VIII e her the order
should be permanent.
Robert J. McKenna, chairman
of the state ASC committee, in
a letter dated July 6, 1862, had
requested John Broadhead, chair.
man of the county ASC commit
tee, to suspend Rasmussen, but
the county committee refused to
do so.
A mere 40 acres, approximate,
ly, appears to be the basis for
the Agric u lture Departments
fraud charges against Rasmussen
i'm its most recent attempt to re-
move him. Investigators charge
that Rasmussen made applica'
ton on November 3, 1858, to
place 1,020 acres of crop land in
conservation reserve when the
records of his office established
that he had less than $50 acres
of crop land and that Rasmussen
was aware of those facts.

According TO the Montana Crop
and Livestock bulletin topsoil
moisture is generally adequate
over most OF the state to keep
crops progressing to maturity.
The most favored area is the
northeastern part Of the state
where good rains we're received
during the past week. However
moisture is short west Of the di-
vide and in the eight-couniy
area just east Of the divide in
the north-central portion.
Crop prospects are deteriorat-
ing in that area. Irrigation wa
ter supplies are adequate to
abundant. Hail damaged SSme
crops during the week. with
heaviest losses reported in Hill,
Blaine. Dawson. Prairie. Custer
and Rosebud counties.
Cereal grains have made good
progress towards maturity nv
subnormal temperatures slowly
ripening. Crops are generally in
good condition over most OF. the
state. but only fair in the north
central part. centering around
Liberty county.
