have been produced on his land. When
Senator Gibson first moved into Montana,
agriculture was unheard of, nor was it
ever thought there could be such a thing
in that country; last year his county
of Cascade took the prize at the State
agricultural fair-an exhibit which might
have won prizes If it had been in COM
petition with the entire United States.
This year the State fair at Helena was
one of the most wonderful and varied
exhibits of grains, forage crops, vege-
tables and fruits ever seen in any State.
Yet this magnificent showing of Mon
tana agriculture is but an earnest of
what is to follow. The vast bench lands
of the State aggregate millions of acres
of the most inky black soil, the grist of
the mountains, capable of producing great
crops, while irrigation, carried out by
private enterprise and under the great
works contemplated by the national Gov
ernment will bring under intensive cul-
| tivation other millions of acres of bottom
and table lands, rich and deep, which
| yield abnormal crops of wheat, oats, rye,
| barley, alfalfa, fax, sugar beets and all
| of the vegetables and fruits of the tenn
perate zozne. Montana is not land of
| bleak mountains and wind-swpet plains
| its agriculture will in due time surprise
the country.
| The great rivers of the northwest which
make up the flow of the Missouri, the
Columbia and the Colorado, come out of
! the Rocky Mountains of this State, and
| her water supply is enough for an en-
pire. The Government engineers are
| working on big irrigation projects on the
Milk River, the Yellowstone, the Sun and
other rivers capable of adding tens OF
millions annually to the farm products
Of Montana. The projects of the Gov
ernment already practically decided upon
will cost between four and five million
dollars. One of the most promising of
these which Senator Gibson has been
working to further is on the Sun River an
important tributary of the Missouri which
empties into that river at Great Falls.

main chain of the Rockies, where gray

lORTUNES have been made in
Montana and fortunes will lie
made again; but the fortunes
which will be made in the future
will be divided between the great mines
of the Treasure State and the products
of agriculture derived from soil SO
deep, black and fertile that 1t may be
well said to be inexhaustible.
AS distinguished an authority as Hon.
Paris Gibson, one of Montanas United
States Senators, and thirty years a resi-
dent and practical farmer of that State,
says that Montana has agricultural re-
sources which will make 1t one of the
greatest farm and fruit territories of
United States. Instead Of being a land
of mines and great roaming herds OF
cattle, its tillable and irrigated acres will
be numbered by the millions, and their
productive capacity will be double those
of the lands of Eastern United States,
subject to drouth and floods.
Recent census reports show that Mon
Rama although a new State agricultur-
ally has already some million acres un-
der cultivation, and is adding thereto at
THE rate of nearly hundred thousand
,acres a year, while the figures of the
department of Agriculture shows the
most remarkable Of crop yields.
In yields of wheat, rye, barley and flax
Montana leads every State in the Union;
in oats and potatoes only one State Is
ahead Of her, and in hay her yields are
heavier than those of any Eastern State.
Her average wheat and potato yields. at
2S and 176 bushels per acre, respectively,
are more than double the average for
the United States. AS a matter of fact
many Montana farms run 40 and 80
bushels Of wheat and $50 and 400 bushels
of potatoes to the acre.
Senator Gibson's farm is situated a
few miles from Great Falls, in North
western Montana. The Senator grows
wheat and alfalfa, but his speciality is
breeding fine dairy cattle, and his is
fine type Of the highly improved Western
ranch. AS much as 40 bushels of wheat
per acre, four tons of alfalfa, and go
bushels of heavy oats are yields which

In the spring time when the great solar
orb begins to caress the snow and ice
covered slopes of the mountains and
they pour down their waters into the
countless canyons. gorges and gulches,
all trending toward the main Sun Can

mountains, that brilliant flashing stream
becomes a raging torrent rushing down

spring swept uselessly to the Gulf Of
Mexico. Half million acres of water
foot deep represent the annual flow of
the Sun and a solid masonry dam 200
feet in height would store these floods,
for above the dam sit the river forks and
stretches away into vast basin, a huge
mountain storage reservoir.
While but little general attention has
been attracted to this project, 1t prom
ises to develop into one of the really
great and most remarkable OF the gov
ernment irrigation enterprises. Some fif-
teen years ago the federal engineers
made a survey of this river and found
some ten storage reservoirs along its
course. The storage capacity of all the
tributary reservoirs is more than double
the entire flow of the river.
