State Committee Acts to Insure Adequate Farm Labor Supply
The Montana State Committee on farm labor urged withholding relief funds from able bodied citizens during the 1942 planting season and closing schools early to free students for field work. It called for county labor committees, a Helena clearing house, and cross county labor movement to boost crop production. It recommended pooling machinery, six day high school weeks with longer days, and deferments for essential planting workers. A protest objected to evacuee workers from the west coast. Agriculture commissioner A H Kruse contended available labor could meet demand if mobilized.

Fort Missoula Quelled Threats of Indian Wars
Fort Missoula in western Montana grew from a proposed post chosen by Col. Gilbert in 1878 to deter Nez Perce threats. The site near Grant Creek was favored by locals but discarded for a strategic location by the army. The post saw multiple abandonments and re occupancies, with key support from Senators Carter and Dixon to expand lands and establish a regimental post by 1910. The Flatheads remained peaceful, contributing to Missoula’s quiet frontier history.
