DRY FARMING
IN THE WEST
Has Proven Success In Montana
Where Farmers Have Made
Small Fortunes.

Small Fortunes.
BOZEMAN.s Mont, July 14.-That
Louie Accola is a believer in dry land
farming IS not surprising in view of
the assertion that his wheat crop last
year. all grown on dry land, yielded
him $35. 600. Mr.. Accola began farming
in the Gallatin Valley as poor man
and, by dint Of hard economizing, ac-
cumulated land and livestock. Today
he has 8 S36 acres and comfortable
fortune drawing interest.
S. J. Wall is another Gallatin Valley
man who has gradually increased his
dry land holdings until he now has
1920 acres. representing the invest
ment of a part of his profits from dry
farm weeats and oats. In addition, 1t
is said, he has close to 100000 in
cash and other possessions.
These are examples of the results
of farming without irrigation in this
favored section of Montana. The Gal
latin Valley Club, composed OF bust
ness men and wealthy farmers and
grain growers of this region, and
local milling interests are carrying
out plans to have this district repre-
sented at the Fourth Dry Farming
Congress at Billings, Montana, Octo.
Der 1928, with a large delegation,
and will show many samples of Gal
latin Valley crops at the Interna
tional Exposition of Dry Farm Pro.
