Highest Type of Farming An example of -these new methods: in which the sugar beet is such, an Important factor is , furnished in the report of W. H. Baird, as a restrilt of his investigation abroad. As an ex- ample of the higheet type of farm - or agricultural manufacturing methods, Mr. Baird ekes the ease of a leaseholder of a boot 1,000 acre -s near Paingue, \The farm,\ Says Mr. Baird, \was qn two parts or domains, 'leased] from different owners and held under 12 Year's lease. The two Places thialVe. been in the hands of one holder for three- terms of 12 yearn each, or. 36 years, and were ,beginning at, the date - on- the 37 ; th :year,.

B. McDermott, state coal minting inspector, who is -now work- ing an the preparation of his annual report, says -the Helena Record_ While the tonnage of coal mined has yearly -bee-n increasing, the num- ber of fatal accidents is showing a gradual decrease. In 1911 thirteen Men were killed in the mines, and this year but ten. - Mussel -shell Is the only county, from whildh Mr. McDermott has received complete data. Five mines were in !operation during the year in that county. The total number Of men, em- ployed was 886, and the average number of -days was 200. The total Production, were 933,485 tons. Three men were killed and nine Injured. In 1941 822 men were employed. The average number of days they worked -was 234. The total produc- tion of the county was 643,6481 tons. Three men were killed and 13 izadur- e.d in mine accidents. While more men were employed doring 1912 than in 1911, they work- ed loss number of day's and yet the production of Musselshell county was nearly 300,000 tons greater this year. This does not mean that the min- ers were -suffering from book -worm la-st year, that the :per capita ton- nage 'shows such a ,marked Increase this year; simply that the mines have reached that state where 'with the same number of men, a greater tonnage can be extracted.
