Increased Prices Help the
Farmer.

Popular Science Monthly prints an
article on the reorganization OF
American farming by Professor
Homer G. Price of the Ohio state uni
versity, in which it Is stated that in
the period from 1905 to 1905 the av-
erage production of leading cereal
crops compared with the decade Of
1896 to 1905, in practically every case
except oats, increased per unit OF
population. Professor Price says that
the period OF low prices for farm
products and the extensive methods
Of farming that went with them are
rapidly passing away. He is not
alarmed by the fear OF some that this
country is not capable of meeting its
food demands out of its present re-
sources. He concludes that the in
creased prices Of farm products are
beginning to bring TO farmers a Just
return for labor expended. n VIII
do more than anything else to turn
the city dweller back 10 the soil and
to keep the country boy on the farm.
There is no danger Of a shortage OF
food supplies in this country, but
higher prices must prevail In or
der to develop the potential agricul-
tural OF the country. Aside
from the possibilities Of doubling the
present crop production on the pres
ent area under production. the United
States geological survey estimates that
100000 acres can be made avail
able for agriculture by draining
swamps. This is the equivalent OF one
sixth OF all the land now under cult
walton in the United States.

MONTANA MENACE IS
HAY SHORTAGE
Alleged Serious Conditions
Among StoCkmen Exagger-
ated Declares Secretary of
State Sheep Commission,


Helena. Mont. July 15.-Exoeption
is taken here to a story telegraphed
from Washington last night respecting
alleged serious conditions in Montana.
According to G. w. Raymond, secre-
tary of the state board of sheep ON
missioners, these reports are eXagger-
ated. Present conditions are not par-
ticularly disturbing to stockmen at
present, they say, but the outlook
for the future is causing whatever
anxiety there is, because OF the fact
that the hay crop will be about one
third below normal"
Should mex winter be severe, losses
would result from the hay shortage,
and rather than run the risk, it is
probable that everything that can be
converted into beef Will he sent to
market thisfall and the same is true
in a measure respecting sheep. Re-
cent rains nave greatly alleviated the
water shortage.
