NEWS OF MONTANA |
MONTANA IS IN CORN BELT.
Farmer on the Huntley Project Be.
lieves He Has Proved His Case.
Important happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.

Billings.-That Montana is well
adapted to the growing of corn, that
its possibilities in this direction are
little appreciated and that the industry
will be one of the leading ones in the
future is the firm conviction of Elmer
E. Eiker, a fermer who resides on the
Huntley project.
Mr.. Eiker is one of the exhibitors at
the Yellowstone valley fair. and al.
though he is showing samples of forty
different sorts of products. corn is his
staple and he raised ten different varie-
ties this season. Why he cultivated
SO many was to ascertain what variety
is best suited to this section.
Il now know that fine corn can be
raised on the reclamation project"
said Mr.. Eiker, land before the end
of next season ! expect to build a silo,
Tor think that is the most economical
and altogether most satisfactory way
to feed stock"
with the silo I expect to be able to
fatten at least 200 head of cattle,
whereas at present I am keeping but
twenty. and I know I can do this and
make money out of the business even
though my farm is small"
Mr.. Eiker came to Montana abou.
four years ago from Illinois where he
was a locomotive engineer. He set.
tied on a 40-acre tract on the reclama-
ton project.
Some of the corn he is exhibiting Is
equal to the best grown In Iowa or
other rainbelt states. The stalks are
twelve feet high. He says that any
farmer who makes even an average ef.
fort can do just as well as he. He
planted his corn on May s, and much

the extent OF the movement away from

present census shows that 1853 per

centers and 53.7 in urban centers. Ten
years ago the percentage Of the urban
population was 4O.5 and Of the rural
59.5 This shows an increase in the
population living in urban territory OF
$40 per cent for the decade, at which
rate, the census bureau points out, 1t
