AGRICULTURAL MONTANA.

Butte Evening News: That Mon
tana stands today as one of the agri-
cultural marvels of the United States
is no longer the mere boast of the
booster. 1t is fact, substantiated by
compiled statistics which for the first
time are being given out to the public
The average yield of wheat in the
United States is 1888 bushels pei
acre; in Montana the yield is 266
The average yield for oats is 2o7s
bushels; Montana's yield is AIS
bushels per acre.
The average for rye is 1914 bushels
bushels per acre; Montana's average
is p bushels. Such statistics are
available only up to 1907, at which
time the average potato yield was 95.4
bushels to the acre, while Montana's
was $50 bushels.
Calculations for wheat values for ter
years show, in the wheat producing
states, the following comparisons pei
acre: Minnesota produced $87;
worth of wheat per acre each year
Kansas, $.56; North Dakota, $7.71
Nebraska, $oS5; Illinois, $1O17. Ii
Montana it was $l7.83.
Comparative statistics in everything
show Montana to outstrip every stat
in the Union in practically every lin
of agricultural production.
The strange feature of it all is tina
this is the state with land to Civ,
away, that it is begging people t.
come and take its lands. Withou
speaking of Montana's pre-eminenc
as fruit-growing state, the figure
given should tempt the land-seeker il
preference to any other spot in tn

A ray of sunshine has reached
Doctor Cook through the gathering
darkness of doubt and suspicion con-
cernino his polar expedition. A let
ter has been received from Knud
Rasmussen, a noted Danish explorer
and scientist, who has been living fot
years among the Esquimos, stating
that the writer will arrive in Copen-
hagen November 1st with conclusive
evidence that Doctor Cook did in
reality discover the North pole. Ras'
(mussen understands the Esquimo Ian
guage and states that after talking
with twenty-five members of the tribe
who were employed by Cook and
we're acquainted with the exploit, he
is thoroughly convinced of the truth
fulness of the doctors story of his
polar dash. Doctor Cook has been
terrifcally assailed from many
sources but retains the sympathy and
confidence of very large number o.
American people who would like te
SEE him vindicated on all points.

to raise these cattle than it did the
man on the Chicago market to raise
and market the same day stuff that
sold at five dollars. 1t is true the
animals from which Mr.. Waite bred
the steers he marketed cost lot
more than the other man paid for his
foundation stock, but when the pro-
duct of the two got on the market the
difference in results showed the
Waite investment to be the wise one.
There was a time when Fergus
county was noted for its output OF
range stock, but in recent years the
development of its farm lands has
so overshadowed its livestock in
dustry that many who have recently
come into the state do not realize
what the stock industry was in tina,

HOW BLOOD TELLS

Montana Daily Record: Reference
was made last week to a sale of Mon
tana range cattle On the Chicago mar
ket at $3.50 a hundred pounds. The
statement was made at that time that
not only was the high price due to
the shortage in the supply of cattle
but to the probability that it would
be found to result largely from the
use of better breeding animals by the
Montana grower. 1t develops that
this was correct. The cattle that
brought the highest price ever paid
for range cattle on any market were
shipped by John D. Waite, of Lewis
town, and they were grade dehorned
Shorthorns and Herefords. They
we're bought for export and averaged
1,4Ol pounds each, or $105 head, ant
as there were seventeen of them, thu
gross returns were $l,885.
1t did not cost Mr.. Waite any NOR.

Cannon went to hear LaFollette and
were we'll repaid for their pains.
Like all visitors to Montana these
days, Senator LaFollette was tre-
mendously impressed with the posi-
bilities which the Treasure State holds
forth. In an interview contained in
the Butte Evening News, he said:
Immigration into Montana will
in a few years change the political
control of the state. 1t will place the
voting strength with an agricultural
and not with an industrial population,
and it will liberate Montana from the
dominance politically and industrially
of the Amalgamated Copper company

TRY TO GO, BOYS.

Dakota Farmer: There is a strong
and increasing demand for bright
young men trained in agriculture. If
the boy really thinks of leaving the
farm for some trade or profession,
but is still undecided, he can do no
better than to attend one of our agri-
cultural colleges Here not only can
thorough knowledge of up-to-date
agriculture be obtained, but all the
general sciences are taught-civil and
steam engineering, surveying and
many other things that go to make
UP the cultured and trained business
man and practical professional man.
All this will come in play splendidly
if it is decided to go back to the
land and if it is thought best to go
into more professional life, this same
training offers openings not sur
passed if equaled by any other course
of study or school at the present
time.
Our government has use, at better
pay than for most professional work,
OF more young men OF this kind than
it can find, and the demand seems to
be increasing rather than diminishing.
Our whole country, too, alive to the
fact that more industrial teaching
along these lines must soon be found
in every school in the country, is just
waking up to the fact that there is an
alarming scarcity of such teachers. In
fact, there are scarcely any teachers
of this kind at all outside our agri-
cultural colleges, and many of these
are not competent to teach children
The increasing demand for this kind
, of teachers cannot be met within the
next ten years, if then, and our agri.
cultural colleges, with the exception
of a few distinctly industrial schools
are about the only places where sucl
training can be found.
The domestic science course in mos
of these schools affords the best pos
sible training for young women, ant
!. all well-trained students along thes
: lines will soon be wanted at good pa,
. to teach the same in Our common
: schools, say nothing of the extra quail
: i6catons it affords for real nom

We strongly urge every boy an

of your own, this contact with brigh
y minds and better things will be
:, source of strength and enjoyment t

It may have been observed that
Senator Carter did not join with SEN
ator LaFollette for a tour of the
state upon the occasion of the Wis
consin solon's recent visit to this
state. AS matter of fact, Senator
Carter does not approve of LaFollette
or his ideas of popular government.
He is more in sympathy with such
men as Aldrich, Hale and Cannon.
Knowing these things, it should not be
difficult for the people of this state to
decide next year what action to take
with reference to retaining Senator
Carter in the U. S. senate or retiring
him to private life.
