JUDITH STANDS
A SEVERE TEST

The Judith Basin is all right. This

1t has stood the test of fire, as it
were, and comes forth with bountiful

boosters and confOunds it's critics.

gus County Democrat.
1t has not been more than half a
decade since the & owing of wheat on
the vast benches, which comprise the
greater portion of the Basin, was
looked upon as decidedly experiment

optimistic, were fearful that the cOun-
try would never stand up under the
whitening blight of long, hot, dry
season. Crops would grow all right
in wet years but doubt filled the
minds Of scores Of well wislers as to
the result in the years when the
clouds should refuse to yield forth
their blessed showers.

GILTINAN PLEASED
WITH CONDITIONS

II. J. Giltinan spent Monday night
in the city. having journeyed that
evening from Haucks siding, where
he was transactiny business during
the day. Mr.. Giltinan paid the Jour
nal Office Il very pleasant visit. and
spoke most enthusiastically of the
harvest being obtained in central
Montana.
"rhere are many fields of winter
wheat" SAID Mr.. Giltinan, "tllat are

double next year what it is this"
Mr.. Giltinan, who has charge of
the Giltinan- Penwell ranch between
Swimming Woma II and Careless
creeks. reports that the hay crop on
that place is as large as the years
when considerable more moisture
was received. Fourteen men have
been haying Oh the ranch since the
2ath OF June, and the job will not be
finished in less than two weeks hence.

water is required to raise alfalfa as /
previously thought. Formerly | be-
lieved that the alfalfa fields had to be

order for this popular forage to make
good growth, but because of our
water supply being below normal and
the increased demand for it, alfalfa
meadows this year received Il very
low percentage of the irrigation water
formerly used. Nevertheless, Il
heavy yield is cut for the third time
this season.

Mr.Giltinan left Tuesday morning
for lIarlowton, where he transacted
business for several days before re-
turning to his ranch.

growing season. The June rains,
without which it was generally held
grain would not begin to grow, failed
to come. One good rain and that in

they sowed last fall.
But not so in the Judith Basin.
Here, dozens of threshing machines
are at work grinding out a crop of
winter grain, which will average bet

Of from 25 to 40 bushels of wheat per
