Big Yield of Oats.

LIVINGSTON, Sept. lS.-Reports OF
record breaking yields of grain up the
valley are being brought to this city
every day by the farmers. +. w.
Schuers, whose ranch is between Lau-
rel and Park City, reported what Is
said to be a record breaker In the
production of oats. Mr.. Schauers
says that on ten acres OF land on his
farm he raised 625 bushels Of oats
without irrigation, or 81. bushels to
the acre. On 20 acres of his land
which he irrigated the yield averaged
l22 bushels to the acre. On one acre
of measured ground he planted l0(
pounds OF seed last spring, and when
the grain was threshed this fall it wal
found that the INT acre had yielded
l3l bushels Of oats. This yield is fig
ured at the rate OF 81 pounds to tht
bushel, although, the oats run more
than that.

PROGRESS OF IRRIGATION,
Director Newell Reports Good Re.
suits From Reclamation
Projects.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.-Francis
H. Newell, director of the reclamation
service, has returned to Washington
after q three-months trip through the
west, during which he visited nearly
all the irrigation projects. He said:
1.-THE government is now supplying
water at nine places-the Huntley pro.
ject in Montana, the Minnidoka in
Idaho, the Truckee. Carson in Nevada,
Hondo and Carlsbad in New Mexico,
Sunnyside part of the great Yakima
project) in Washington, the klamath
in Oregon and California, the North
Platte in Nebraska and Wyoming,
and the Belle Fourche in South Dako.
ia. About $50, 900 acres Of land are
being supplied with water at these
where the land was formerly barren.
Next year this acreage will be added
to materially by the opening of the
Okanogan and Teton projects in
Washington, and the pumping pro-
ject at Williston, North Dakota.
Other projects may also be opened,
this depending upon the labor supply
and our ability to get material.
"The government is beginning to
get it's money back, although the re.
turns to the fund thus far are com.
paratively small. They will increase
as the lands are opened. The total
was about 5000 900 last year. Part of
this came from settlers who had taken
land under the various projects and
paid one installment of the cost.
Some CAM from rentals of water
power developed by our dams. Most
OF this power is used by %municipali-
ties, but some goes to individuals to
operate pumps to raise water for irri-
cation plants. We are also getting
some revenue from lands reserved for
reservoir purposes, but not needed
Immediately, These r. being rented
for grazing purposes.
"The average cost per acre for irri'
gated land under the government pro.
jects Is about $50, and the cost Of the
water acreages is so cents per acre per
annum. The largest cost is me- by
payments of ten annual installments,
which is not unreasonable when the
productiveness of the land is taker
into account with it's increase in earn
ing capacity when watered."
Mr.. Newell believes that the gov
ernment ought to continue the policy
Of making each entryman pay the 6rs'
installment upon taking the land
adopted when the lands at Hunt!ey
Montana, were disposed of. This, be
believes, will serve to keep the specu
!ators away ana will bring to the gov
eminent projects persons who intenc
to make their homes on the land.

Presidents have come and presidents

Street corner orators frequently de-.

DRY FARMING AND WET SEA.
SONS.

There appears to be a difference OF
opinion among practical farmers and
agricultural experts regarding the
merits of what is known as the dry
system of farming. There are many
advocates of the new method who
maintain that experiments demon.
str ate its adaptability to localities in
which irrigation facilities are not
available, while others hesitate to &C.
cept these results as proof that dry
farming will prove to be q profitable
occupation. Among the latter is the
agricultural editor OF the Butte Inter
Mountain, who discusses the subject
in these remarks:
Too much Importance must not be
given to the reports of phenomenal
grain crops raised this year in parts
of Montana where irrigation is not
employed. That bench land farmers
this seaso are enjoying a greater de.
gree of prosperity than ever before
must be recognized, but the fact re.
mains that the conditions have been
unusual and altogether in their favor.
Except in q few places in this state,
such as the Moore bench in Fergus
county and the Flathead valley, dry
land farming has not emerged from an
experimental stage, Notwithstanding
the special tests that have been made
by the government experiment station
during the three years. In ordinary
seasons the average Montana farmer
must depend upon the artificial water
ing Of his crops and 1t is certain that
irrigation is not destined to become
of less Importance to agriculture in
this state as dry farming ad
Climatic changes may be noted from
year to year, but there is no reason
to suppose that Montana will be taken
from the list of so-called semi.arid
states. Blessed with a more abund ant
supply of water than any other west.
ern state, Montana will continue to
develop its irrigation resources. Sc
cure in the knowledge that crop fail.
ures are impossible in those sections
that are not compelled to depend upon
uncertain nature for necessary pre-
cipitation.
From the reading of any number OF
newspapers OF this state, strangers to
Montana might easily gain the impress
sion that irrigation would soon be-
come a lost art in Montana and tina,
dry farming could be carried on sue
cessfully anywhere within its confines
Such reports are unfair to intending
settlers and to the state itself. fol
sooner or later the mistake is sur Il
be found out. An extraordinary rain
fall this season has given ''dry' sec
tions heavy crops such as they may
not have again in years and this fac
should not be overlooked. Except il
a few favored sections, irrigation
must continue to be vital to the inter
ests of the farmers in Montana.
