h Yellowstone Region Bids Fair to BE
a Success In Fruit Growing.

The Yellowstone Region Bids Fair to he
a Success In Fruit Growing.
Rocky Mountain Husbandman There
is a great future for the Yellowstone
region and, in fact, all eastern Mon
tana in fruit growing. Fruit growing
in the densely timbered regions of the
lower valleys OF the western slope Of
the Rockies in this state has, for a
number Of years. been an established
fact, but it is only beginning to be an
acknowledged success in the great
prairie regions Of the eastern slope. The
Milk river, Missouri, Musselshell and
Yellowstone valleys will. in a few
become noted for their fruit.
The Yellowstone and tributaries is
especially inviting in this regard. We
may commence on Paradise valley,
above Livingston, and follow the
stream to it's mouth and we will find
standard fruit a success wherever it
has been tried. The region Of the
Sweet Grass, Saltwater and Rosebud is
exceedingly promising for fruit raising.
The big bottom on the Yellowstone,
from Rapids to Billings, will also grow
standard apples. and from junction to
Glendive every acre of farm land that
can be irrigated can be made to grow
an orchard. The Rosebud and Tongue
rivers are the native home of the wild
plum and will produce all the hardy
varieties Of standard fruit. The
orchards at Miles City fully demon
strate that the fruit growing possibili-
ties Of eastern Montana is not half
known or appreciated. Every rural
home, whether a farm or a stock ranch,
should have an orchard of both small
aud standard fruit. Montana is old
enough to branch out extensively in
fruit growing and nothing will insure
greater home comfort.
