With one part of the state on the

great as two-thirds of France or Ger
many, with elevations ranging from
1900 to 5000 feet, rising even to

siderable differences in the climatic
conditions existing at various points
in Montana may be expected. Tables
of statistic, of meteorological obser-

suited, but, as ganeral statement,
it may be said that the climate of
Montana is healthful and exhilarat-
ing, the waters pure and clear, the
air clear, dry, vitalizing, filled with
ozone of kind which it is a luxury
to breathe: and that perhaps nine out
of ten persons who have ever lived
in Montana prefer its climate the
year round to that of any other place.
There are no fogs, no malaria in
Montana, and contagious and infect

manifested prove to have come from
the infection of less favored states,
but here they yield readily to pro-
fessional treatment, proving fatal in
only the exceptional case. The
winter season is not one continued

BOOST FOR MALTA

"Mighty glad to get back" was the
first chirping from Mayor John A.
Tressler, as he stepped foot upon
good old Mtntana soil and took
whiff of pure and exhilarating air.
The mayor stated that he spent a
very pleasant vacation with his par
ents in Iowa. He also visited Min
neapolis and st. Paul, where he found
business in prime condition, but the
cold weather seemed to have the
upper hand throughout the holiday
season. Montana or bust, is the
slogan of large cotere of Iowa farm
ers,' says the mayor. "Iowa is one
of the best states in the union, but
land has severed beyond the reach of
many people there, and now that they
have found that land fully as good as
any Iowa farms can be procured here
for the mere tritle of taking it up,
they are making preparations to come
to this valley early in the spring.
Many Of these new immigrants are
the sons of wealthy farmers, and they
will not hesitate to invest in good
farms from which they will reap
harvests that will astonish the most
skeptical pessimist, as they are real
famers, with years of experience.
This is the class of people that l be-
lleve will invade our midst in the
next year, and / believe it is the duty
of every business man in Malta, to
do his utmost in entertaining men of
this class when thes arrive.''

Speaking before the meeting of the
National Woolgrowers' association
at Ogden, DR.. M. E. Kowles, Monta-
mas state veterinarian, made the
statement that this state is freer from
diseases inimical to the shepherd s
interests than any other state in the
union. In his address he gave brief
summary of conditions in this state
as affecting the sheep-raising indus
try.
In part he said:
"There are about 5000, 900 sheep
within the boundaries of Montana at
the present time, approximately this
figure having been maintained for a
number of years past. All types are
represented, although fine woods pre-
dominate.

age who produces the best ten ears
of corn in the state.
In each county there are nine
prizes each independent of the alti-
tude list. The classes in each coun-
ty are: First prize, $40; second, $8;
third, 81; fourth, $5; and fifth to
ninth prizes, 81 each.
The total number of prizes is thus
275, which includes eighteen state
prizes and nine prizes for each coun-
ty. Professor F. S. Cooley who will
have charge of the contests states
that it is probable that the boy or
girl who wins the prize for the bes,
corn will receive prize amounting
to $3.50, and that the first person
would be almost sure to win 1870 as
a prize. Each person who enters the
contest will not only be competing
for the county prizes but for the alti-
tude prizes, and it is. thus probable
that he will secure money from both
the altitude class of prizes and also
the county class.
Further than deciding upon the
apportionment of the 81 900 into the
prize classes; little has as yet been
done in working out the details of
the contest by Professor Cooley.
The contest will be carried on with
all the fairness possible, and it is
aimed to have every section of each
county in the state included among
the districts, c. mpeting through
their enterprising young people. An
expert Judge will be employed ly the
managers of the contest to make the
decisions. 1t is intended to have

Prof. Cooley, superintendent OF
Montana farmers institutes. has just
announced that James J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern Railroad
company, has offered him 1000 to
be given as prizes to Montana boys
and girls under l8 years of age for
growing corn in the state during the
wear 1910. The novel scheme is in
tended to start an interest in corn
growing in the state. The plan as
outlined is to give each boy and girl
in the state an opportunity to gro "
ten mature ears of corn for the judg-
ing.
There are two general classes in
which the prizes will be given.
The first class is one of altitude and
the second an independent class
which includes each county in the
state. The altitude classification is
again divided into four specific class
es; under $500 feet, from $500 to
5000 feet, from 5000 to $500 feet
and over $500 feet. In each alti-
tude class the following prizes are
offered:
For the best ten ears of corn un-
der either altitude classification, $40
is given; for the second best ten ears,
SIS will be given; for the third best,
$40; and for the fourth best: the
prize is SIS. Besides these prizes
each of which are offered separately
for the four altitude classes, there is
a prize of $25 to be given for the ten
mature ears grown at the highest al
titude in Montana.
The state championship prize is
500. This amount is to tie award
