FIRE At SCHOOL HOUSE

The fire department received a
hurry up call just about supper
time Saturday night to go to the
school house, but fortunately there
was nothing more serious than a big
smudge and everyone felt quite re-
lieved.
John Munro, the janitor, was oil
Ing the floors in one of the rooms
but the oil in the can was so cold
that he could not use it, so he Set
it on the stove to warm I'D. It
boiled over and caught fire which
made a lot of black smoke. When
the fire department arrived the win
dows had been forced open and the
way the smoke was rolling out
locked rather serious, but there was
no other fire except the burning oil
On the stove, and this had been ex-
tinguished without the assistance of
the fire department.

THERE IS DEMAND
FOR MORE CATTLE

Robert II. Jones, vice president
lor Montana of the Northwest Live
STOCK Association, in which he rep
resents the beef cattle interests. de-
clared in an interview while in Spo-
Kane that he has not seen q time
IN the last 20 years when western
cattle were as scarce as they are to-
day
1T is about time that the stock
growers and farmers in the north
western and Pacific states started
IN to raise more CATTLE" he added.
We are getting better prices for
Our stock at home than at the Chi
cago stock yards. This proves that
the western country is shorter on
oeef cattle than any other district.
Our growers should take advantage
OF this peculiar state of affairs.
Il can see no good reason why
the farmers in Washington, Oregon,
Idaho and Montana should pass IN
the cattle business. Of course. il
'cqulfeS money TO go into the indus
try on a large scale, but every farm
er in the western country should
raise few head, at least. That
would relieve the shortage and bring
more money into the country. Now
Is the time to raise cattle.
Our cattle have never fed On
anything but wild hay, which is
grown on our 6,400-acre ranch un-
der irrigation,' stated stock grow
er in the Big Hole Basin. 81: is all
wild hay. We believe we can raise
steer on wild hay for one third OF
the cost of producing corn-fed
steer in Iowa and Nebraska. We ex-
pect to demonstrate the high quality,
hay-fed steers at the Portland show,
Which l believe will be largely at
tended"

room for even carving cut a very
much greater success by intensive
methods and the production of the
perishable crops which generally
bring big money. 1t is safely put
down that currants, goosebarries
and raspberries will yield $500 per
acre if the farmer is near a ship
ping point and can get women and
children to do the picking. The
strawberry will give yield of $500
per acre under favorable conditions
but the fruit that grows on trees
Will probably beat the small fruit
as a business. But the pride of the
frult industry is the apple. Mon
tana produces an apple which it is
hard to outclass. In fact, the. Mon
tana apple is such a beauty, so
large and red, SO juicy and delicious
In flavor that it is easy enough for
us to say that it is the finest aDple
in the whole world In the first
place the climate is almost ideal
for quality in fruit.
The northland produces the
worlds greatest apple, and we De-
ileve we have it here. We will
grow plums and cherries here; also
pears and crab apples, and make
big money on them, and we will ais
continue to produce the finest sized.
finest colored and finest Favored ap
pie in the world.
We believe that Montana is doing
these things today-in fact we
know it. We can easily see how an
acre of land can be made to yield
thousand dollars annually. But
of course. orchards will not average
that. But there are lots of orchards
that will average from $500 to 5000
per acre; and this is getting rich
fast. We can readily understand
how our friends in southern Colo
rado, where peaches grow to such
perfection, make money so rapidly.
The peach tree is a quick grower.
and peaches bring big prices. But
Montana, bordering as it does. pref
ty close to the extreme northern
belt of apple production, is quite in
the swim. The product is, to say
the least, nowhere eXcelled, and we
are going to make Montana's rural
homes happy by producing home
supply OF apples on every farmstead.
More than this we are going to
have people supply these homes wit
the most lucious and finely Favored
Strawberries in all the world, to
have them supplied with raspberries
and gooseberries and currants.

i Montana does not hope to make
her acres quite as valuable as they
are in some parts of the world, and
yet the possibilities of the Montana
acres is the marvel of all acquaint-
ed with the state. We have been
telling our readers the story Of what
1t meant to turn water on the land
for five and thirty years~think OF
it! And the man that has taken
counsel from us has gone on from
conquest to conquest and the end
is not yet. We first learned to
raise the cereals and to follow with
the legumes and work out a rotation
that would preserve the fertility of
the land, and in some instances i'm
prove it. Then we learned that by
rotating in the same way sugar beet
land could also be preserved and
made to continue wonderful pro-
duction of the beet that would give
working average OF eighteen
pounds of sugar to every 100
pounds of beets. All thru the list
have we gone in these thirty-five
years, and we have learned that
there is no crop SO exhaustive that
alfalfa will not restore the land if
we go about it right. Even our fruit
lands may be restored or easier
still, prevented from wearing out by
the use of alfalfa and red clover.
We do not discourage the use of
all the barn-yard manure that ac-
cumulates, and we advocate mixed
husdandry for the reason that it
produces manure and is better for
the farm than selling in the bale
and bushel. We have stood for wa
ter on the land first last and all the
time for it brooks no failure. We
have seen so much distress in the
world come from conditions and en-
ylronments that we insist on
eQuipping the farm with facilities
that make failure out of the ques-
tion, and having done this, the road
is easier. No, we no not expect too
intensive farming results without
practicing the art. There is a very
wide range in the value of crops
produced. Montana land we'll titled
will yield from forty to sixty bushels
of wheat per acre, and yet we only
claim thirty bushels per acre as the
average. And yet, thirty bushels
per acre is double that of the most
ct our Mississippi valley states.
Figuring on the basis of the general
average, it is not safe to put the
revenue OF our acres of wheat above
twenty-five dollars per acre, and
yet it is possible by extraordinary
effort to get forty dollars worth of
wheat from an acre. The same is
true of any of the cereals. Alfalfa
yields from three to seven tons per
acre and brings from $3.50 to $40
PEI, ton. The variation in yield is
due to the altitude of the valley
wherein it is grown and the range
cf price varies in accordance to
where it is grown. However, when
livestock are normal in price, it is
possible to realize eight or nine dol
lars per ton for alfalfa by feeding it
to live stock. There are many in
stances in which these figures are
excelled, but any plodding farmer
who will try, can accomplish these
results. The sugar beet crop gives
big yields, but except as live
stock feed the sugar beet area is
limited to shipping distance from
the Billings factory. But there is

comes TO our nina Is: why
should we tax land values alone
and let labor values and capital
go untaxed?
The first short answer to this
question is Labor values and
capital values are private crea-
lions. Private values created by
individuals belong to the indivi-
duals who create them; while
public values are the creation of
society and belong to the society
that creates them.
When the public values are al
ways more than the needs of the
society that creates them, why
should we let private persons col
lect these values and then turn
about and let the public go
around any old way that is handy
and take the private creations of
individuals to paythe expenses of
society?
The Single Tax is already col
lected every year in the form of
rents by landlordism all over the
world. In most civilized coun-
tries a small portion of these rents
are. taken in taxes. The balance
of governmental expenses are
then taken from the people
through taxes on trade, occupa-
tons, licenses, poll taxes, per
sonal property, improvements
and thousand other crooked
ways that makes it impossible for
the people to know just how
much they pay and why they pay |
it.

world .are nayir1O riOht now not |

they are paying taxes upon the

we will see this. -
Let us take the greatest CON-
