out the wishes of Oliver Andrews,
whose funeral was held at Mason City,
Iowa, a photograph was used, and, ac-

APPLE GROWING INCREASING.
Over Whole State There Is More Ac
tivity Among Apple Growers.

Atlanta-Now that the ice has been
broken, look out for investments in
Georgia apple orchards.
Apple orchard owners nave brought
specimens of their product to Atlanta
and now have them on exhibit here.
These exhibits are proof positive that
Georgia can produce as fine, if not
finer, fruit than the famous pippins of
Virginia or the luscious red and gold
en- apples of the far Northwest.
In fact, the Georgia apple men have
ON exhibition here some of the most
perfect fruit possible to grow.
An average of $500 per acre is what
the apple men figure as their returns
from the fruit which sells all the way
from $3.50 to $3.50 per barrel and
more for the extra fine varieties.
Though there are something like
1000 varieties of apples, so far only
some fifteen or sixteen are grown
commercially in Georgia But they
are the best varieties obtainable, and
sampling of them proves, to put it
in appropriate slang, that every one
of them is "pippin,"

it is a matter of very little trouble

why more fruit is not raised here is
because the people heretofore have

FERGUS COUNTY RUSH
IS GREATER THAN EVER

Fergus county should produce this
season its banner wheat wheat CROP"
said $. 5. HobsOn, one of the promi-
nent residents of Lewistown, who is
here today on business. "The SNOW
lies to depth of from nine inches to
foot and half over the entire Ju-
dith basin, insuring ample moisture
for the crops. Perhaps l should say
the snow did lie to this depth, for
just received word over the telephone
that IA chinook struck that part of
Montana last night and if it keeps up
twelve hours there will not be much
snow left.
"While it has been bitterly cold for
week, and the winter has been un-
usually long, stock losses will not be
above normal. Sheep and cattle are
in fine shape and with the promise of
early grass, this year should be a
prosperous one for Montana stock
men.
"Settlers? l should say so. was
at Great Falls yesterday and there
were one hundred land seekers there.
Some wished to secure free ranch
while others with money desired to
buy tract Of land. The settlers are
coming into Fergus county at the
present time, in greater numbers than
ever before. The wide publicity given
by the Great Northern to the oppor-
tunities of the Milk river country has
had no effect in diverting the inrush
to the basin. More will settle there
this year than in any previous year.
Price Of Land.
MANY of the settlers coming in at
the present time are well supplied
with money and they are buying
farms outright. Dry land farms
within reasonable distance Of the rail
road are worth from fifteen to forty
dollars an acre. Anything within
twenty miles of the railroad is con-
sidered reasonable distance. 1t may
seem little far to haul wheat, but it
is done every fall.

tie more interest in agricultural mat
ters; that All institute was held here
last week. I'm glad to see it. l have
insisted right along that the dry land
method was adapted to this valley

along these lines is more than ! can

make start. Once make the start

This estimate is based on what is
considered good yield, or from two
to three hundred bushels per acre.
The first five items are practically
uniform, whatever the yield may be,
while the last three depend upon the
yield per acre, so that poor yield or
failure, reduces the cost per acre
by about one-half and an extremely
large yield increases it accordingly.
The price of potatoes has a wide
range from year to year, but the
average price for the past ten years
has been 65c per hundred pounds.
These figures are not new land
figures, but are made on old land tests
by a potato farmer doing his own
work.
The Canadian farmers have sue
