John Clemens, a brother of Mrs. Johnston, also at- tended the funeral, coming over from Jamestown, North Dakota. It is reported that the new coun- ty 0,dministratiota, latv enforcement department, is clamping down the lid in more ways than one, not only at the county seat but likeswiee in the outlying precincts. Hans Lykken of Belltower has been In town all week looking after his wife and daughter who have been down with the flue for a couple of weeits. The are now convalescent. The daughter is living in town at- tending the Carter County high school. People who have been emulating the mule and pulling in the wrong direction should wake up for once in their lives and compel themselves to realize that property in or adjacent to a prosperous and growing town is far more valuable than holdings in dead community. Two schoolnut'ame, teaching in Ekalaka, were unable to reach their h oar ding place on the west si Art Russell creek on Wednesday evenifig or Thursday on account of the high water from the melting snows. This is an unusual occurrence in Puptown.

Bowen of the Milwaukee railroad at Miles City, and left for that place last Saturday.

Ho went back to Baker with his mother several days ago. • 0. A. DAHL HEARD FROM.

The Firemen's semi-annual dance last Friday night was a \popper.\ It came fully up to the advance no- tices and was a success financially and in all other ways.

The Cut Bank Pioneer cuts loose and roasts Editor Tom Stout of Lewistown who is said to have \de- serted Joe Dixon.\ The Pioneer com- pares Tom to Brutus who did some cutting up in his day. He and some other fellows cut up Julius Caesar. In order to refresh our memory in re. gard to the manner of man Brutus was, we got out our Shakespeare and dusted him off and this is what we found. In one place 'tis said of Brutus: \He sits high in all the peo- ple's herrts.\ In another: \This was the noblest Roman of them all: All the conspira- tors save only he did that that they did in envy of great Casear;, He only, in a general honest thought and com- mon good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and pay to all the world: ,This was a man!'\ I And the editor of the Cut Bank Pioneer says Tom Stout reminds him of Brutus. Tom must be some guy. GREAT IS MONTANA. The Piniele Leader tells us about the Moeller & Shroeder threshing rig resuming threshing last week after being idle for several weeks on Re- count of the unfavorable weather. Montana is some country, all right. They raise so much grain in the HUM- .mer it takes them all winter to get it threshed and all the next summer to get it hauled to market If some Of the unemployed in the states far- ther east would come to Montana they could at least find employment, If that's what they are looking for.

We desire to thank ail our friends for their kindnes e and sympathy in our recent great bereavement. Cherles Johnston and Family. GOVERNMENT CROP REPORTS. Res the cultivated farm acreage in Montana shrunk since the 'federal igRsus was taken in 1919? If so, farmers ought to know it, and they also should know in what crops the decline has been greatest. Has the poultry business expanded in Mon- Itana within the last year or two to such an extent as to produce a sur- plus that must be marketed at dtb- tent points? For the sole purpose of being able to answer accurately just such ques- tions as these, 90,000 farm census blanks have been placed in the hands of county assessors in this state and beginning March 1 they will request farmers personally or by mail to ans- wer 20 simple questions relating to their farm operations. A state law requires the assessors to obtain this information -and likewise farmefis to furnish it. The data is then trans, mitted to. the state department of agriculture, and is one of the chief ,factors in the compilation of crop es- timates by the Montana Cooperative Crop Reporting Service. For years every big industry in the United States except farming has had access to detailed records of past per- formances and knowledge of present conditions upon which to base pres- ent activities and prepare for future developments. Statistics of acreage and production in past years, of ex- isting acreage and condition of grow- ing crops, of supplies and prevailing prices, past and present, are the basis for intelligent and successful handl- ing of the business end of agricul- tural problems,. Only through the cooperation of each farmer are ac- curate statistics to be obtained. Some farmers have been of the opinion that such data was of use only to speculators. In holding to this opinion farmers have put the car before the horse. Through pri- vate agencies speculators in the past have spent millions of dollars collect- ing crop data. This information was jealously guarded. The result in some cases has been that the specu- ing operations of the growers We!re consequeektly conducted on a guava basis. Uncertikinty is the food upon which speculation thrives, and to. the cxtent that state and federal crop reports eliminate uncertainty, spedn- laden is discouraged and markets stabilized , . V every Nrmer would take the pains to answer accurately questions bearing upon his operations, uncertainty would be reduced to a minimum, and the speculator's ad- vantage wiped out. Crop reports aid farmers in many ways indirectly. Railroads use the data in estimating the number of cars that will be required to handle .the crops; bankers use them as an index of the .amount of imoney that will be required to finance the growing and marketing of crops; insurance com- panies Which deal in crop insurance use crop reports as a basis for es- tablishing fair praiminm rates. In some districts where crop estimates are available over a series oft.years, rates have been reduced as much as 25 per cent in comparison with dis- tricts for which such data was lack- ing. Next to the farmers, wholesale mercantile houses and manufacturers use official crop reports more than any other class. They use them as an index of the buying power of farmers and as a guide to the produc- tion, distribution and sale of mer- chandise and farm machinery for , a six to twelve months' period. -U. S. Bureau of Agriculture. \Montana resident for half century (lies in poor 'bowie,\ says a headline iv one of our dailies. The knocker can now Bei \a plain case of cause end effect.\ But the man was 74 years old before he went to the poor 11, use, and while prospecting one of his handl; was injured in an explo- sion. Furthermore, there are many able-bodied men in other states who can't keep out of the poor house for 74 years. One of the most futile things on earth is trying to fool yourself into believing you are fooling others. INS ONE 11•10 OEM ONE ESE Es• MEI SEE EMS sE.
