C. II. s. p. s. Road Takes Up
Dry Farming Methods.
Follows Work of Santa Fe Along
These Lines.
TEST VARIOUS CROPS,
Experiment With Seeding and
Soil Management.
Other Items of General Interest
in Railroad World.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget
Sound railroad has just made liberal
appropriation for carrying ON dry-farm
work along its line in Montana which
will permit of the operation of four ex-
perimental stations. Two of these were
started during the last season at Baker
and Roundup, Mont. and the two 9TH
ers will be established soon at Har-
lcwton and Three Forks. From these
stations information will be dissemina-
ted regarding methods of agriculture
suited to the regions of little rainfall
through which the Puget Sound line
runs and upon which it depends for a
large part of its traffic.
In addition to the work of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul road, of
which the Puget Sound is the Pacific
coast extension. there will be this sea-
son seven stations supported by the
Northern Pacific railroad. four of which
have already been established-one at
Adams, two at Terry and one near
Fortytf. A station north of Billings
is to be discontinued and a new one
started near the SAME city, and two
new farms will be established in addi-
ton. There will then be II substations
under the direction of the Montana ex-
pertinent station. ranging in area from
80 to 80 acres each. At some of these
stations the experiment work will be
emphasized. while at other places the
demonstration idea will be emphasized.
On the experimental areas 1t is planned
to test various crops and different
methods of seeding and of soil man.
agement.
From the records of the various Uni
ted States land offices of Montana and
the large number of inquiries which the
experimental station and others are re-
ceiving from nearly all parts of the
United States. the railroads believe that
the state is entering an era of rapid
agricultural development. The Mon
tana experiment station has been pre-
pairing for the coming of settlers for
several years past. and has been study
ing the crop possibilities and the meth
DDS of obtaining results for various sec
tions of the state. This work is as yet
only begun. but very satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained and much val
liable data gathered that will be of
great service. 1t is planned to continue
and to materially extend these studies
of dry-farm conditions and possibili-
ties during thu coming season.
The Montana experiment station is
now cooperating with the United states
department of agriculture in this work.
When it was started five years ago the
experiments had to be carried into dis
settlers, and the problem was also a
new one to most of the state, and this
made it expensive to get work done.
With the settlement OF the state, which
is now rapidly taking place, it will be
possible to verv greatly extend the
demonstration phase of the work with
out a very great increase in funds.

CANADA TO MIDDLE WEST.
Grand Trunk Pacific to Compete With
Canadian Pacific

That the Grand Trunk Pacific is de-
termined to enter into active compe-
tition with the Canadian Pacific for
traffic between western Canada and
the states Of the middle west is seen in
an announcement made at the Grand
Trunk Pacific headquarters that a
contract has been awarded for the
construction Of branch line south
from Regina to the boundary near por-
tai, while contracts have also been let
for the completion Of a line north from
Regina to Melville, on the main line of
the Grand Trunk Pacific. Portal is the
station on the boundary line between
saskatchewan and North Dakota where
the $500 branch of the Canadian Pa
cific connects with the western system
OF the latter company, giving western
Canada direct connection with St Paul
and Minneapolis and with Chicago. By
building from its main line to the in
ternational boundary, via. Regina. tho
Grand Trunk Pacific will be able to
connect with the Hill system, and thus
establish a competitive route to that of
the $780, for all western Canada traffic
now gathered UP by that line.

Favor of Motor Grand Railway.
Salina, Kan, April 6.-At a meeting
of the Central Kansas Interurbao
Railway company, held at Mcpherson,
it was decided to give the right of way
to the Motor Grand Railway company:
This company will be given first
chance at the territory. The Central
Kansas Interurban Railway company
will continue its organization, however,
and, if the Motor Grand fails to build
the proposed line from Belleville to
Wichita via Salina and Roxbury, the
Central Kansas line Will go ahead with
it's work
The sense of the directors of the Cen
trail Kansas Interurban railroad ex-
pressed at the meeting was as follows
The only object of the Central Kan
saS Interurban Railway. company was
to give the proposed territory road.
Inasmuch as the Motor Grand has Al
ready advanced its work and viii
touch the territory, and as the Motor
Grand, if built at all, will be COM
pleted before the Central Kansas line
the Central Kansas company will with
draw from the field temporarily, Civ
ing the right of way to the Motor
Grand. The Central Kansas company
feels that if the Motor Grand con-
structs it's line the original intention
will have been completed-a road for
the territory. The Central Kansas In
terurban company will retain It's or
ganization, however, but will not file
its charter for the present. In case the
Motor Grand does not build, the Cen
trail Kansas company will resume its
work The directors of the Central
Kansas company will aid the Motor
Grand Traction company as citizens
and will give it every possible boost.
