DAVE WHALEY TALKS ABOUT
THE BEST VALLEY ON THE
FACE OF THE EARTH.

Dave Whaley has been amongst the
recent visitors in Missoula from the
Bitter Root valley. He came down
from Stevensville Saturday and spent
some time in town with friends and
relatives. Mir. Whaley. as "A youth.
assisted in the original stalking out OF
the Bitter Root valley. and he has
seen it develop from its wild state to
its present encouraging condition of
cultivation. Speaking to IA Missoulian
man during his visit to Missoula, Mr.
Whaley said:
There was never such crop rec
ord made in the Bitter Root valley as
has been made this summer. | doubt
If there was ever such showing made
in any valley in the world. 1t has
been fine season. of course, but the
great gain is largely due To the fact
that there has been such an improve
ment in farming methods.
Il was interested in The Missou-
iian's review the other day of the
work that the Bitter Root Irrigation
company has done in the valley. Your
account was enthusiastic. but ii was
none too much so. The people of the
valley are beginning to find out that
the big ditch is "A great benefit To
them instead of IA damage. II has
added greatly tn the acreage of the
valley and it has brought in IA lot of
good farmers who are workers. | be-
iieve the advent of the ditch company
to the valley was the best thing that
has ever happened to us since Mar
Gus Daily came to the valley and
showed us what could be done with
the bench lands. | am glad. ton, that
the people of the valley are beginning
to realize the benefits that are coming
To them through the operations of
this company. 1t is better for all of
US"
