WANTED-THE RIGHT KIND.

In the work Of inducing immigra tioI
into d lew state there is more than
one question to be considered. 1t is
not alone one of how to get people
to come west,' but also Of what
character Of men are wanted"
money and push, and for anyone pos
sessing these essential qualifications
there are opportunities without end
There is no question but that we have
room for thousands of the right kind
of settlers, independent men Of means,
though small, perhaps; producers, with
a better chance Of getting ahead than
in most any other locality, and very
little room for the man looking for
job. Tie Flathead Herald-J Journal, it
seems to us, fairly presents the sit
uation in the following article:
IAN effort is being made to get
more people to settle and live in Mont
ana. Whether an increase of pop
ulation will be beneficial or otherwise
depends upon what the newcomers
will do
Gust at this time Flathead county
is not in need of any more merchants,
there seems to be a sufficiency of
lawyers, a plethora of doctors, an
abundance of politicians, an overplus
of editors and quite enough Of men
of leisure.
Several thousand producers would
work wonders in this county. There
is an abundance Of room, and nature
has laid the foundation upon which
fortunes can be built. wide, deep and
permanent. Flathead county can be
made yeritable storehouse overflow
ing with nine-tenths Of the necessities
of life, and just here bear in mind
that the overflow is what brings in
the coin.
| THE Herald-Journal does not ex-
| pect to spring anything new, but mere
! ~ desires to refresh the memories Of
| our people in regard to natures boun-
I tiful gifts.
l There are five essentials to a rich
degree Of prosperity: Rich soil, plenty
of water, good climate, market and
an industrious husbandry All Of these
essentials are here in Flathead county
I today.
l Our soil is rich, easy to cultivate
and exactly suitable to the production
Of great variety Of crops, and the
area is extensive. Here we have an
abundance Of water; when not from
the clouds, then from the rivers and
creeks. So it can be truthfully as
serted that our farmers can make
their own seasons SO far as moisture
is concerned. Our climate is we'll
! nigh perfect, just right for the produc
ton in perfect form of nearly all the
! necessities Of mankind.
For our surplus there is a ready
| transportation. Added to all these We
have small army Of industrious men
| and women. This army ought to be
| reinforced, for there is work to be per
| formed, more of it than can be &C
complisled by those who have under
l taken the task.
All farmers know they ought to
1 grow variety Of crops and practice
| rotation for increased profits and to
conserve the fertility of the soil.
/ This means more work than they
i can d" single handed, especially if
/ some of the crops need frequent cul-
tivation during the growing season. s,
they change the system even against
! their best judgment and SOW the farm
to wheat and oats, reap in the summe
| and sell in the fall and thus rob their
soil or its fertility. Yes, we need more
farmers who will have more time tc
| produce q greater variety Of crops
