Consulting Agrlculturist 81 American

Says Intensive Farming Is Needed
Most.

From Thursdays Daily.
w. K. Winterkarter, consulting az
%riculturist for the American Beet Sug.
ar company, which practically con.
trolls the beet sugar factories Of the
west, has been in Billings for several
days while en- route west on q tour
Of this section Of the country.
During his stay in Billings Mr.. Win
terkarter visited the Billings Sugar
factory and many Of the farms up
the valley. and appeared very much
pleased with what he saw there.
The possibilities Of the Yellow
stone valley are great" he declared
yesterday at the Northern. "Your
farmers must be depended upon to
do a large amount of the development
work that will count most. Intensive
farming is what is needed most and
this applies to sugar beets perhaps
A&EM &EM
more than to wheat barley or other
grains.
Conditions here are similar to those
that prevail in Colorado, and SO far
as the cultivation Of ibeets Is CON
cerned they are identical. 1 believe
that Montana is destined to become
a great sugar beet nrndncinp state
equalling Colorado even"
Mr.. Winterkarter's home is in
Rocky Ford, Colo, and he is some
what OF a globe trotter, having tray.
eled around the world and in every
section of the United States.
He is en- route to California, on
what he declares Is a pleasure trip,
and says that his visit to Billings has
no significance SO far as the company
Is connected with is concerned.

HITCHCOCK MEETS
WITH CORTELYOU
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE HELD
IN NEW YORK YESTERDAY.

VIEW 1OTk, aug. 5.-An important
conference between Chairman Hitch.
cock Of the republican committee and
George B. Cortelyou, secretary Of the
treasury, who managed the republican
campaign four years ago, was held
late today at the Manhattan hotel,
Besides talking with Mr.. Hitchcock
about the political situation general
~ throughout the country, Secretary
Cortelyou is thought to have taken
up the governorship question in New
York state. At one time the head Of
the treasury department was credited
in political circles here with being
an aspirant for the republican nomin-
alton and he was thought to be IA
yored by the state leaders who have
opposed the denomination Of Hughes.
He could not be seen here today
and Mr.. Hitchcock declined to say
what was talked about, beyond ad-
uniting that he heard a great deal
more about the state question. He
declared that he does not expect an
opinion nor offer a suggestion on the
subject himself and that his part was
that Of a listener.
Representative Bennett and Repre-
sentative Parsons, the latter chairman
Of the New York county republican
committee, were with Mr.. Hitchcock
for some time, their mission being
the discussion Of the gubernatorial
nomination.
Mr.. Hitchcock said that every day
brings a large correspondence on the
subject of the governorship. So far
can be learned, the governor has
not sent any delegations to national
headquarters to speak IN his behalf.
Several parts Of the country were
heard from today by MI. Hitchcock.
He received q call from James 8. Nc.
Cleary, second assistant postmaster
general, who is a candidate in Mime.
sofa for denomination by the repub
lican party for the house Of represen.
tatives.
Representative slemp, the only Re.
publican congressman from Virginia,
was at headquarters with Representa-
tive g. A. HERE of Maryland.
Both of these southern members
urged that work be done in their
states and that particular attention be
given to certain congressional dis
tricts where they said the party has
excellent chances of winning.
Charles p. Taft Of Cincinnati, broth
of the nominee, was one Of the
1rst callers at headquarters today. He
lad a long talk with the chairman and
hen met the local newspaper men.
he was greatly amused at their point
questions concerning the cost of

He PARTED the questions good ma
uredly and with great success. He
expressed the opinion that Ohio was
