DISTRICT NEWS |
At the November meeting of the
Big Hom Soil Conservation district,
a number of items were discussed
by the board members.
Among the most important was
itts tawtries, be. mui emu m«ntama
the transfer of a portion of the Big
Hom district, which lie* in Yellow
stone county, to the Yellowstone
district. Thie has been causing pro
blems for years, asthe officers of
both district has to do paper work
on jobs in this area, instead of one
office handling the job.
Slim Slattery wag a representative
from this district to the sale meet
ing i n Helena and gave a very inte
resting report of the meeting.
A thorough check of the coopera
tors in this district was made, and
several names were dropped from
the list because of dteath or because
they had discontinued farming.
It was reported by Wayne Nipple
that work outline for next year a
mounted to 18,000 man hours and
that one man is capable of about
2,000 man hours per year—so it
looks as if the district will have its
hands full, as there ar e only four
men in the office.
A discussion of district equip
ment was held and it was decided
that work done with the landplane
from now on, regardless of who uses
it, will require a fee of SI.OO per
acre.
The dollar charge will remain the
same even though a piece of ground
has to be planed several times.

The range management program
sponsored by the A.S.C. and Ex
tension Service last Thursday at
Lodge Grass created a lot of inter
est among those who attended. It
also brought out the need for graz
ing as a practice which has recent
ly been added to the work book
* Karl Parker commented that the
group was very nice to work with.
He was well pleased with the turn
out we had in spite of this being a
rather off season time of the year
for a range tour.
One thing that Mr. Parker ex
plained pretty well was the need
and justification of federal aid
where it applied to conservation
practises. As he explained it, the
nation grew and prospered at the
expense of our natural resources.
Some of the natural resources were
quite badly abused, such as our
ranges, forest and mining areas. As
a result our society grew and we
became the strongest nation in the
world with the highest standard of
living. Now we need 10 pay more
attention to the natural resources
that need to be repaired and
brought back to a more healthy
condition. Since society benefited
by the depletion of these resources,
it would only seem right that
society should help restore them
to where they will continue to build

up in order to produce and meet
the demands of the country. Ac
tually the resources belong to the
whole country, and all of society
not just to the people who are pre
sently using them- Thi a is pretty
reasonable justification for tax
money going into conservation pro
grams to support them.
The Kiwanis Club has taken a
great deal of interest In the Vital
Issues program that was mentioned
in this column sometime ago. They
have found the material in the fact
sheets very interesting. By the time
they finish the program as they
now have it planned. I feel sure
even- member will be better vers
ed in the whole Vital Issues sub
ject.
We encourage anyone else who
may be interested in this material
to stop in the Extension Office and
get a fact sheet kit. It is easy ot get
opinions from a lot of people on
the street or anyone else but too of
ten these opinions are only what
some people think or imagine. As
a result of the discussion that
comes from these meetings and fact
sheets, the thinking of those who
participate will be straightened out |
on a good many important sub
jects and problems that face Mon
tana people today.
Now that the days are getting
shorter and you are using more
lights, do you notice any dimming
of lights as automatic electrical
equipment turns on?
Persistant dimming of lights
when equipment goes on is a sure
sign of an overloaded circuit. Be
sides being a potential fire hazard,
overloaded circuits reduce the sup
ply of electricity and result in in
efficient operation of appliances.
Unless your home is new and
especially wired t o handle today’s i
increased electrical loa<j the chanc
es are that your household elec
trical circuits may not be adequate
to handle the load they are called
upon to carry*.
Modern homes, save engineers,
should have at least 100 ampere ser
vice and looking ahead to future
uses of electricity in the home, a
200 ampere service would not be
too large.
If your home is underwired it
would pay you to look into the
possibility of adding circuits to pro
vide for those appliances that use
a large amount of electricity such
as dryers, dishwashers, auxiliary
heaters and garbage disposers.
You can get an idea of the de
mands on your circuits by adding
up the wattage requirements of ap
pliances and checking against the
carrying capacity of your circuits.

Dear Helen.
I’ve followed your gallant fight
for a swimming pool for Hardin and
my only answer is taken in from
the little ant. If you don’t succeed
the 69th time, you make the 70th
effort. It recalls to my mind when
the hot water well was brought in
by a group of Hardinites includ
ing myself, who put i n SSOO each
to get an oil well on the old Bill
Reno or Al Strifl place a couple of
miles east of town. I tried to in
terest people in Hardin in piping
the water into Hardin, but th idea
didn’t catch fire, so the well plugg
ed. I believe the Holly owns the
land now.
What would be wrong with gett
ing a small acreage from Holly (the
well wasn’t far from the road), then
drill through the cement and tap
the hot water? One could have con
tinous flows of hot water (mineral,
I believe) into and' out of the pool
with hot water heated rooms, ect.
If this is not practical, it could be
piped into Hardin in insulated pipes
to retain the heat and accomplish
the Game purpose. The outlet from
the pool could be In the sewer sys
tem—no heat bill, no water bill, no
purifying bill and year round use.
Helen, with your sticktoitveness,
you should win this battle for a
swimming pool.
There is another thing I have al
ways wanted Hardin to have —a
canning factory. The lower Big Hom
valley produces the finest tomatoes,
sweet cor n and cucumbers and the

Before I was compelled to a re

these products. At the time of the
opening of the Holly factory*, I fur

president of the Burlington, I later
supplied sweet com for his Rotary
club in Chicago. His thank you wire
said it was the finest cor n the boys
ever ate. So you see it has the

So after you get the pool, take
after the canning factory*. It would
