It is an in stitute composed of several schools- It noiv owns and operates the following-. Four Year College Junior College Business College High School School of Music School of Vocations, Technology “Learning by Doing” has been its theory and method of education in just as many courses as it is possible to apply the principle. The principle has been especially applicable in THE SCHOOL OF VOCATIONS and TECHNOLOGY Here one may specialize in the field of the automobile, electricity, radio, agriculture, machine shop, journal ism and printing, woodworking, home economics—and allied trades! The featured three-year courses in the School of Vocations are intended primarily for high school graduates and are so organized that a student may take additional college work and receive the junior college diploma or the B. A. degree in addition to the regu lar technician diploma. However, students who have not finished high school, and those who have been out of school for several years, may enroll for vo cational courses along with high school work or may take vo cational work exclusively.

Billings Polytechnic Institute ERNEST T. EATON, President Polytechnic, Montana I VIRGINIA CREEPER VINES ARE ■ DAMAGED BY SUCKING INSECTS ; — - A species of leaf hopper is attacking i and damaging Virginia creeper vines in . the state, and State Nursery and Seed: ! company officials have made extensive ■ investigations on its account. The pest. is a sucking type of insect, William J. 1 Mills of the nursery said, and must be; combated with contact sprays. Stomach I poisons are useless against the hoppers. The insect is active and because of this the spray should be applied in the earlj’ morning hours, preferably before sunup, while the hopper is cold and sluggish. “Blackleaf 40” and “Evergreen” are' two types of contact poison found to be, effective in control of the leaf hopper.; The insects do not kill the vines, the; nursery experts said, but cause it to! lose many of its leaves. They suck the juice out of the leaves until the leaves' fall. Drouth conditions of the last two or three seasons and the lack of hu- ■ nudity, it was said, are the causes of the prevalence. "Turkey’s "Five Year Plan” is re ported to have started with promising' success.

The reason for such emergency measures is the drouth which has cut down the carrying capacity of the range materially in some sections and completely ruined it in others. If stock is to be kept in the worst hit regions, feeding of hay must start now cr cat tle moved out. In other sections, not so hard hit, feeding will be delayed only a short time. It is an exceptional case if there is plenty of hay or other roughage now on hand for sufficient winter feed supplies, Sloan declares. Late crops of Russian thistles can be put up for hay, Sloan points out. Thistles should be cut and immediately put into the stack. Allowing them to dry before stacking causes dryness, woodiness and too much alkali. Thistles are, however, laxative and should not make up more than one half of the ration. Some stockmen stack thistles afid obtain good results by sprinkling salt over alternate layers. Others stack by making a layer of straw alternate with layers of thistles. Either way is satisfactory if the thistles are stack ed quickly after cutting. Yellowstone Park Has 192,857 Guests Showing an increase of 58 percent in total travel to Yellowstone park this year over 1933, and a gain of 236 per cent in rail travel, the report released recently by the superintendent's office lists 192,857 entries through the five gateways up to Aug. 17.

Nepotism Law Again Is Ruled on by Nagle Replying to an Inquiry about appoint ment by commissioners of Prairie coun t y of an employment manager who is related to the chairman of the board, Attorney General Raymond T. Nagle recently advised County Attorney Thomas M. Murn of Terry that the ac tion was in violation of the state nepot ism law if the relationship is within the fourth degree of consanguinity. In another ruling dealing 'with that law, Nagle held a father is not related by affinity to his daughter-in-law's mother, and, therefore, as a member of a school board, could legally vote on appointment of her to a position. - ■ ■■ ■ ■■'s> — More than 13,000 mountain sheep or bighorns are estimated to be ranging In the national forests.
