Says Fanners Are Justified in
Purchase of New Lands Now
■
.
Montana farmers may penalize
themselves If they pay too much
attention to the current campaign
to discourage the additional pur
chase of farm lands, says John W.
Haw of St. Paul, head of the ag
ricultural development division of
the Northern Pacific railway.
Haw agrees that land prices have
shown a sharp increase in the lajt
lew years but points out that the
rise started from an ç*treo>ely
point' and says that land, on the
average, is selling lower today in
Montana than In the 1910-14 parity
period, when interest rates were
higher.
Farm prices, Haw says, natural
ly should be judged on the basis
of average production and with full
consideration of the fact that farms
of the nation produced at 138 per
cent of normal in 1944. largely as a
result of extremely favorable dim
atic conditions.

It's Farm Fire Season; These
Hints Nay Prevent Damage
»
BOZEMAN—With the season at
hand when maturing grass and
vegetation create a serious fire haz
ard, the Montana agricultural ex
tension service calls attention to
ways to prevent fires and to control
them should they get started.
That rural fires are a serious prob
lem is borne out by the National
Fire Protection association, which
estimates that $100,000,000 or about
a third of the nation's annual fire
loss occurs on farms, extension
, • workers say. Any steps that farm
ers can take to prevent fires and to
control them when they do break
out will save lives, needed food, and
valuable buildings and equipment.
Everyone can help prevent fires
by; 1. Making sure matches are
dead out; 2. By careful disposal of
cigarettes and other smoking ma
terials; 3. Not burning old straw
piles or rubbish during the fire sea
son; 4. By cleaning up all trash and
grass around farmsteads: 5. By
plowing fire guards around buildings
and haystacks: 6. By careful use of
lamps and lanterns, and by having
> heating and electrical equipment in
safe condition.
To help control fires, have: 1. bar
rels filled with water at convenient
places and buckets near the barrels
tor farm building fires; 2. Ladders
handy and long enough to reach
the roof for building fires; 3. Hav
ing shovels, beaters, mattocks, fire
pumps and other equipment located
for immediate action against grass
fires 4. Having a community fire
control organization.
New Industrial
Building at
NMC Will Open
HAVRE—The new industrial arts
building of Northern Montana col
lege will be open for class work with
the beginning of the autumn quar
ter on Oct. I. according to President
G. H Vande Bogart. Construction of
this building was almost completed
before the war and final details
have been finished recently.
Equipment for classes in engineer
ing drawing, surveying, drafting,
and descriptive geometry is com
pletely installed in the new build
ing.
The first large shipment of equip
ment for the machine shop is due
to arrive i n Havre within the next
few days. Another shipment is fol
lowing.
When fully equipped, the indus
trial arts department will offer
• * courses on the college level in auto
mechanics, machine shop, wood
working. plastics, radio, welding,
drafting, and related fields. Courses
will be offered both for beginners in
these various departments and for
those who have had courses in high
school and wish to continue with
college work in the same fields.
These courses will give practical
training for men who wish to take
employment in one or more of these
types of work. They will provide the
first two years of preparation for
industrial arts teachers for high
school and elementary schools, and
* there will also be elective courses
for students in various other de
partments of the college.

A return to a lower scale of pro
ducUon must be anticipated, he adds,
but he doubts If ever again It will
be possible to buy at prices that
prevailed In the thirties, when a
combination of drouth and depres
sion forced values well below those
that should prevail over a long term.
Haw said the prime consideration
in the purchase of additional land
now should be whether It can be
used to an advantage. i
As an example, he cited the hypo
thetical case of ,au termer who,
through increased mechanization,
might easily increase his profits,
with little additional labor, if he
were to acquire an adjoining quar
ter or half section. The farmer,
under such circumstances, would be
| justified, in Haw s opinion, to pay
■ a price considerably above what he
[ would have been willing to pay a
| decade ago, and if he were to wait
for a return to depression prices he
might never be able to operate as
' efficiently as he should.
Carelessness Is
Cause of Eleven
Motor Car Deaths
travelling on the wrong side of the
road ran into buses; one load with
thirty-eight passengers and one
j with thirty-three. Fortunately, no j
one was hurt on either bus. but eith
I er of these accidents could have been
bad.
HELENA. Mont.—Eleven people
died and 28 were injured in motor
accidents throughout Montana in
July. Two deaths resulted from ex
cessive speed ; three were driving on
the wrong side of the road resulting
in collisions with other cars. lour
were hit by railroad trains; one
failed to stop at a stop sign ; and
one was riding on the outside of a
car and fell off.
of carelessness; all could have been
prevented by just a little care, ac
cording to Charles L. Sheridan, sup- !
ervisor of the Montana Highway I
Patrol.
All were the result
Since that time many things have
happened. The war has come to an
end and gasoline rationing has been
lifted. The ODT has relaxed its i
speed regulations, and we have had ]
eighty-five accidents on the high- 1
ways of Montana. Eight people are
dead: thirty-seven were injured,
twelve of these in one accident.
Booze was the cause of this one. Two
cars coming from a dance ran past j
warning flares and hit a stalled ;
truck On two other occasions cars
A check of the causative factor in j
these accidents shows that six were
the result of too much speed, seven !
center-line driving or on the wrong
side of the road ; two driving too j
closely to the car ahead; one failure j
to give signal before turning; two
careless pedestrians; three car out
of control. In fact, it's the same
old story-recklessness, carelessness
thoughtlessness; but it is on the in- j
crease and now with gas rationing
lifted there will be more people on j
the road and the cars will still be old
cars; the tires will still be synthetic
and will not stand up unde,- high
speed.
All of these things are going to add
to the toll of highway accidents
unless the drivers come to realize
that driving is a full-time job: learn
the rules of the r oad and obey them;
and above all, realize that the cars
they are driving are old. that they
won't be able to get another car
for at least two years, and that it
has been conclusively proven that
synthetic tires will not stand up un
der high speed.
If our motorists wish to live and
let live, they must learn to drive
carefully, Mr. Sheridan said. There
will be ä lot of cars on the highways
over Labor Day-let us hope that
there will be no one killed or in
jured.
Six Discharged
From Service
The Glasgow local board for selec
tive service has reported the fol
lowing recent discharges from the
service: Eugene Mattingly. Nashua,
at Fort Douglas, Utah, Aug. 10;
Richard B. Rowe, Glasgow, at Port
Douglas. Aug. 16: Lyman J. Patti
son. Glasgow, at Port Lewis. Aug. 14;
George E. Sowa, Vandalia, Port
Lewis,, Aug. 12. Oliver L. Moen,
Glasgow, at Port Lewis. Aug. 19;
Loren O. Musgrove. Nashua, at Port
Lewis, Aug. 19. All except Mattingly
had seen service in the Pacific
theatre.
Grandma knew her "groceries",
all right: She wrapped fruits and
vegetables in wet clothes, because
they need mild cold combined with
high humidity to keep them fresh.
Otherwise they wilt and lose their
vitamins. Which explains why they
should be stored in the refrigerator
until used.

IN THE HOUR OF
TRIUMPH
:
I
Behind us lie 3 'A years of deadly struggle in which,
with God's help, we have prevailed.
So, today, we celebrate a victory.
After the celebration, what lies ahead?
For most of us, the outlook is a bright one. If we will
simply use the brains, the will, the energy, the enter
prise ... the materials and resources.. . with which
we won our war, we can't fail to win the peace and to
make this the richest, happiest land the world has
known.
For most of us, the years ahead are bright with
promise. But for others of us—and, ironically enough,
their part in bringing victory was a major one—the
years to come must bear a different look.
In America today are hundreds of thousands of in
jured men. Men with neatly pinned-up sleeves and
trousers. Blinded men. Men with clever iron hooks
instead of hands. Worst of all, men with hurt and dark
ened minds.
These men need our help. Helping them will cost a
great deal of money. We can help them best by buying
Victory Bonds.
Far away from America today are millions of Ameri
cans. As we would be, they're on fire to get back—to
their wives, to the children some of them have never
seen, to their jobs.
These men need our help. Helping them will cost a
great deal of money. And we can help them best by
buying Victory Bonds.
This is our day of triumph. But it's theirs too—the
injured men, the men who are still far away.
Let's not forget them, in our just rejoicing. And the
one way we can help most to care for our wounded ...
to bring our veterans home... to give them a fresh start
in the country they fought for ... to care for the fam
ilies of those who died before the victory was won ...
is simply this;
Buy all the Bonds you can. Keep all the Bonds you buy.
