OF potatoes; wheat runs fifty per acre,
oats over eighty. And yet farm land
can be had in this district for twenty
dollars and upwards an acre. A man
has a good chance to pay for his
whole farm with one rich crop. Let
no one say, with the random guess
ing of the uniformed, that these
heavy yields are due to the surface
scratching of new land; some of the
best are on the older farms, and be-
sides, soil that runs three feet deep
in the black, as much of this does,
will not play out in few seasons.
Twenty years ago the phrase, "agri-
cultural Montana" would have been
joke; today, though the mines are
still pouring out their wealth, you can
easily see that the hope OF the com
monwealth is in the farms, the peo-
pie are just discovering their greater
riches. And in the farming regions
you can talk with many who will tell
you this man and the other who, com~
ing in only few years ago, started
as hired man and buying his farm
on easy terms, is now an independent
farmer, lord of lands, cattle, horses
and bank account that has apparent
ly passed its adolescence.
This is possibly because men recog-
nize today that the best way to get a
good living is not by taking huge
tracts and conducting bonanza ranches
but by diversified and intensive farm
ing Instead of putting all their eggs
into one basket, as of alfalfa or Of
oats, they put eggs in one basket,
butter in another and garden truck in
another. Hogs and poultry always
pay Besides the home market, there
are the many mining camps, always
ready to give good cash prices. Diver
si6ed farming already returns big
profits here; men are cleaning up
from two hundred to three hundred
and fifty dollars an acre OF small
farms thus handled.
The fact that poultry and eggs
bring huge returns, that garden truck
is successful and steadily raised, that
sheep range out all winter, ought to
answer any question as to climate
But it is much more than endurable,
it is, with the clear skies and sum
shine, the embracing breezes and the
exhilaration Of mountain GOODNESS, en-
joyable, invigorating, life giving
Those fine apples, of which we spoke
at first, produced right in the region
traversed and opened up by this rail
road extension, ought to be ample
evidence Of climatic geniality. They
come from the region west of Butte
and Missoula, some Of the finest come
from the wonderful Bitter Root valley.
running south Of the last mentioned
city. Fruit awaits you all through
that chinook caressed region, the rich

J. Louis WiHige. Of Willige, Gibbs *
Daniel. and Il director Of the Board or
Trade, who, ten years age, when New
York avenue vas a residential street

Washington newspapers that The avenue

When asked what he based his predic-
ton upon, Mr.. Willige said:
Because the signs Of il are as much
in evidence as We're the signs of the
commercializing of New York avenue
ten years ago. The strongest OF all in
diCstions is the fact that the demand
for residential property on Massaohu-

BERLIN, Nov. Z7.-The Volks zeitung

The wholesale arrests were caused by
