now that it has met with the approval
OF the directors the line Will no doubt be
commenced this year and completed next

entire line as planned Will be completed
for some years 10 come, that is, a con-
nection with the main line at Nysss,
Or, but there Is no doubt that the con-
nectIon between Saline and Burley Will
be completed at the earliest possible date.
and this Will mean a saving OF some forty
miles between Salt Lake and Ogden and
all points In southern and southwestern
Idaho reached by the present Twin Falls

The lines leaves the Luclu cutoff at
Saline. which is near the end Of the

will be extended into the Bruneau coun-
try, thus opening the richest portion OF
southwestern Idaho and will continue
along the sosth side OF the river 10
Nyssa.
AS stated, st will ne some time before
the entire system Is completed, but that

Mr.. Bright would not contirm this

AN ANOMALY in MEAT.

The contention that leading cause
of the enhanced cost of food staples
is that population and, therefore, con-
sumption has increased more rapidly
than the agricultural production of
food may be true concerning some
staples. But it is not true concern
ing all of them, and it receives rude
jolt from official authority concern
ing the immediate and ultimate sup
plies of live stock, whose meat prod
ucts stand among those of most eyre
giOus increase in cost.
Figures taken from the compila-
tions of the bureau of statistics of the
agricultural department and from the
statistics of live stock shipments and
slaughter of the Cincinnati Price
Current, show some rema rka BILE facts.
The actual supply Of cattle other than
milch COWS in the country was sew
enty-six per cent greater January [,
1909, than ten years earlier: of sheep,
forty-three per cent greater and of
hogs forty per cent. But the figures
indicating the shipments to the
slaugyteriDg points show an increase
in the number Of cattle to be slightly
under twenty per cent: of sheep
slightly over twenty per cent, and of
hogs little more than eighteen per
cent.
The general estimate of the in
crease Of population for ten years
past is twenty per cent as a maxi
mum. That would make the popula-
ton 90,oOo,0 by this census. 1t
therefore. appears from this showing
that the actual supply OF meat has
maintained suspiciously close rela-
ton to the estimated growth of popu-.
lation, while the potential supply in
the form of live stock on the farm
has increased from two to four times
as much.
If this phenomenon can be account
ed for on any other theory than a
control OF markets which puts prices
of livestock down when shipments
are so liberal as to threaten the re-
duction Of prices, certainly that ex-
PLANTATION should be produced. Nor
mally it would appear like IA trueism
that such All increase in live stock
on the farms should be attended with
an equal increase in shipments and
consequent lowering of prices, in
stead of which the directly opposite
result appears.

trict this coming spring. BY the first
of next June there will not be a
vacant homestead in this district.
and the chances are that those who
are now located and are dissatisfied
will have 4 chance to relinquish to a
good farmer who wants to get located
here and make home for himself.
We believe that there will be larger
agricultural development in this dis
trict next summer than anywhere
else in Montana. We have the soil.
the rainfall and the climate. All we
need is the farmer with sufficient
capital to do development work on a

Montana Agricultural experiment
station in various parts OF the state.
Tracts representative of large areas
of virgin land have been taken and
cultivated in accordance with the
principles of scientific dry farming
and with uniform success. Fall and
spring wheat, fall rye, barley, oats,
flax, grasses. alfalfa, potatoes. sugar
beets, and corn have yielded abund.
ant crops without irrigation. Turkey
Red wheat is especially adapted for
these soils and this method of cultiva-
ton, and yielded an average for all
stations, and for all years tested, of
37.7l bushels per acre. Farming
without irrigation is IL proved success
in Montana. What the crops of Mon
tana will amount to in the future
wears when the land now vacant shall
be occupied and become producing,
may be estimated by multiplying the
number of untitled acres by the aver
age production Of the acres that have
been cropped. MOutana's destiny is
inevitable: when it's resources shall
be developed it will be. if not the
first, among the first five, of the
states of the Union in the annual
value of farm products.
The superior quality Of Montana
