Pt 4 ° TEL OWSTONE VALLEY STAR • - • 4 11+ 4 VOL XI. SAVAGE, RICHLAND. COUNTY, MONTANA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1920. NO. 24 Killed In An Auto Accident Last Friday about one o'clock in the afternoon this community was terribly shocked to hear of an automobile accident which caused the instant death Of Olive Hatcher, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hatcher who live about nine miles southwest of Savage, on the old Frank Kolka farm, and the serious injuries of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper B. Myers' daughter Laura, and Mrs. Olson a school teacher. There was an auto load of young people on their way to Burns to, rehearse for a Christmas enter- tainment, when about two miles from the Hatcher home the car overturned throwing the occu- pante out, the wheel striking the unfortunate girl on her neck remaining there until the others were able to get a pole and raise the car so the lifeless form could be removed, Laura Myers was very serious- ly injured about the head , and for a while fear was entertained that her recovery was doubtful, but at this writing we learn That she is out of danger and will fully recover without any ser- iou effects. .Mrs. Olson the teacher, was injured upon the hip and also received a sprained ankle. Her injuries are slight but Painful for the time. ••, , The injured girls were taken to the Hatcher home, and Dr. Johnston was summoned, irho was away at the time and Drs. Beagle and Morrell of Sidney, were celled who soon arrived at the unfortune scene and did all in their power to relieve the injured. The funeral services of Olive Hatcher were held at her Wine on Monday afternoon, by Rev. K. A. Bodin, after which her remains were conveyed to the Savage cemetery for their fina resting place. The Star joins with the many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family. • Card Of Thanks We wish to express our sin- cere thanks to the kind and lov- ing neighbor! and friends who came to our assistance in the time of need and rendered as- sistance at the untimely death of our beloved daughter Olive. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hatcher. Be a Subscriber of the Star. High School Debate The debate given at the Sav- age High School last Thursday afternoon, was attended by a large number of anxious parents and friends. The question was: \Resolved that Labor Unions are Beneficial to Laborers.\ Affirmative: Earl Barker and Berenice Laughnane. Negative; Amanda Oppe- guard and Ruth Norstad. The loung filen had put a great deal of work on the ques- tion and had secured valuable statistics, presenting the ques- tion in a very masterly manner. bringing out many important facts to,bear out their side of the question, and were also quite confident that their efforts would be rewarded by a dec i ision from the honorable judges in their favor. The young ladies seemingly not quite so confident, did not allow it to disturb° them 'and interfere in putting fourth an arguement against the affirma- tive, which i was delivered with a power and force which made the judge weigh carefully each point with acoracv. The judges were, Mrs. W. U. Gibbs, Mrs. A. E. Larson, Mrs. G. W. Qhibell, S. L. Hood and L. H. Mitchell, who decided in favor of the negative, by a vote of three to two. The other part of the program consisted of singing, and the reading of original poems and storiea written by the Misses Marjorie Barker, Nelly %Iver- son, Erma Hart and Marjorie Frederickson, which were ex: ceptionally well prepared, show- ing splendid talent for - lite:raal, work. Below is a poem written by Nelly Syverson and read at the entertainment. We will be glad to publish all of the others in the next issue of the . Star if the authors will please send to this office.

Beier of the United states Bureau of Orop estimates shows a marked reduction in the acreages sown to winter wheat and rye, very favorable livestock conditions in regard to range and hay and favorable weather conditions for fall farm work. Winter wheat: The acreage seeded to winter ehis fall is estimated at 65 per cent of that seeded last year. The acreage is estimated at 292,- 000 acres compared with 450,000 acres last year. The reduction in acreage seems to be the re- sult of the very low price for wheat, high wages and other factors that cause the high cost of production, financial sAndi- Mons, lack of moisture for Plow- ing and seeding and the uncer- tainty as to the price that will be received for the next crop year. Many farmers did not seed believing that it would be better to wait later develop- ments and if conditions are more favorable it is possible that some of the acreage will be seeded to spring crops. The heavy loss from winter killing and other damage during the past winter has also been a factot in reduc- in \the acreage. The condition of the crop is 70 per cent of normal compared with 80 per cent last year and 98 percent in 1918. The low condition figure is due to lack of moisture east of the continental divide. Rye :The same causes forthe reduction of winter wheat acre- age are shown in the acreage seeded to rye', for the acreage is estimated at 68,000 acres com- pared with 80,000 acres last fall, a reduction to 72 per cent of the 1919 acreage. The condition of the crop is 80 per cent of normal the same as one year ago, com- pared with 91 per cent in 1918. Plowing: The lack of mois- ture, high cost of labor and oth- er items, uncertainty of prices and lack of returns from the present crop has caused a reduc- tion in the amount of land plow,- \ed this fill. It is estimated .that 26 per cent of the farm land was plowed this fall compared with 80 per cent last fall and 80 per cent in 1918. Livestock: Montana winter ranges and pastures are ill good condition and there is a consid- erable surplus of hay, with very light demand. Mild weath- er with little snow has heen very favorable for livestock, little feeding has been dons and all stock 'is in good condition. Stockmen are very much dis- couraged over the present low prices and are holding their stock where financially able to do 80. General Conditions: The de - Pressingly low prices for farm products and livestock at a time when the stock and crops have been raised at the highest cost in the history of the state is a most serious matter. The farm- ers and stockmen are linable to dispose Of their products at, a price that will meet the cOst of production, so are not able to meet their obligations. The ex- isting conditions give rise to a problem which is affecting our ba i lie industry, this problem seems to be an' economic one that concerns all interests and must be worked on a basis that will consider the national and world wide factors that influ- ence our agricultural conditions.

Begular Admission BEETS PAY IN FARM ROTATIONS , IS BIG CASH CROP AND DEEP -ROOTER, TWO REQUISITES.—CROP ROTATION OR FALL PLOWING CONTROLS PESTS • Some pertinent conclusions relating to sugar beet growing dis- tricts are advanced by George Stewart, in charge of the 'Field Crop Investigations of the Utah Experiment Station. As they coincide with farming experience in the districts of Colorado, Nebraska, Montana and Wyoming served by The Great Western Sugar Company, his conclusions are quoted:, \Farmers can no longer dodge the necessity of cr9p rotation. Some farms have heen planted to sugar beets for 12 V) 15 years in succession. When first introduced a new crop may not have any particular pests with which to cope. 'Unless good cropping systems are followed almost from the beginning, it is only a matter of time until some weed, insect or distase gets skirted that is more trouble- some to one crop than to any other. \We have encouraged pests most frequently by offending the principles of good agriculture in three major ways: dyer -irrigation, neglect of fall plowing, and failure to practice good crop rotations. \Irrigation and fall plowing are ordinary farm operations, prac- ticed every season. Crop rotation, however, requires a long-sighted view of affairs and a working plan that includes several cropping seasons. Pests are always avoided or controlled most economically by some indirect method, such as fall plowing or crop rotation. 'rhere are some troubles such as nematode on sugar beets,that can be controlled in no way except by rotation. \The most thorough students of cropping systems have reached a number of general conclusions, chief among which are:' \To raise approximately the same acreage of each crop every year. I \To grow at least one cash crop. \To have a hay crop. To keep livestock. \To have a crop that lasts several years and is sod forming, like alfalfa. \To include a legume.trop. To alternate,deep-rooted and shal- low -rooted crops. \To keep prepared to make use of all by-products in order to avoid waste. \To apply manure to the most profitable crop. \To arrange crops in such a way as to distribute the seasonal requirement% of labor, equipment, irrigation water and personal su- pervision. • . \To follow such, a sequenCe of crops as will help to maititain good soil sanitation and at the same.time-be convenient.\ THE GREAT WESTERN SUGAR COMPANY.
