crop, cheaply produced and of superior
quality, can be marketed TO much bet
ter advantage than tnat crop which is
poor in quality and has cost more to pro.
duce than its selling value.
A grain buyer Of 4C years experience.
once stated that he had never seer a
bushel of No. | barley, and this in Min.
n~esota, one of the leading barley states.
The conditions under which they grew
barley east or south of here, is adverse
to superior small grain crops, barley
especially being subject to being colored
from rain or the ordinary dews.
The reverse is the case in Montana.
1t has been demonstrated time and
again in Minnesota that a good square
dew will change a grade OF barley, that
is, coloring the grain. The grain must
be bright in order to make even No. 3.
Produce barley here in sufficient guam
titles and there will be no more trouble
to market it than there is to sell wool.
The Gallatin valley by reason of age in
settlement and unusually fine water
privileges, out ranks to date, other sec
tions in grain growing. The Man
haitian Mailing company, grew as a sin
gle item 10000 bushels of barley, the
present crop. This crop would require

employment to perhaps 40 men the
major part Of the year, something like
1000 acres being new to crop while in an
adjoining county, n of tie leading
sheep ranches, upon which are 5O,OOOl
sheep. using about 5000 acres for range
and meadow, will employ half the num- /
Der of men and its wool product can
be hauled to market by a single train
OF twenty cars, but comparisons are
odious.
Montana needs men, taxpayers, prop
erty owners, with heads all pointing in
the same direction, to make all they can
and to sell within her own boundaries
the major part Of what is made. The
water must be forced higher upon the
sides of these fertile valleys; more land
must be watered because each acre of ir-
rigable land in this state is a veritable
gold mine, differing from such only in.
the inability of man even .'to work at
out or to lose the lead" I'd
Capitalize it if you please at 800 pes.
acre and it will return to you under goode
management a rate of interest for use
that would put TO blush the demands of
of a Dakota money shark"
Brief and characteristic addresses were
also made by Senator Gibson, Major
MaginpIs and others. which cannot be
given today for want of space. The con-
~vention adjourned for dinner after an in
teresting discussion of smut in wheat.
