will be shown in detail. The actual
life of the homesteader will be por-
ira yed Oh the films.
cit is probable that views of various
cities in the northwest will be taken,
so that intending immigrants will
have some conception of the urban
life of the country, some idea of the
ways and manner OF living of the
Americans. 1t is probable that the
cities or commercial organizations
will be requested to cooperate in the
taking of views.
Possibly the views will include
films of the landing of immigrants ut
Ellis island, so the whole series will
show just what they will encounter
when they come to this country and
settle in the northwest.
Arrangements are under way for
the lending of these films to lecturers
in Germany and other European
count lies. Lectures will be written
to accompany each roll of films.
When the Northwest Development
league met recently Mr.. Hill outlined
his plans to some of the leaders and
they were enthusiastic, volunteering
to have their states follow up the ed
ucational campaign by sending repre-
sentatives TO the same places for the
purpose Of working up colonization
parties to come to the northwest and
settle on it's many thousands of UNI
occupied fertile acres.

The profits of the various dry land
crops are considered, and it is found
that the following net profit per acre
could be obtained: Wheat, sl5: oats,
sS; barley, 80: fall rye, $3.50: flax,
$3.50: corn. sl4 80; and potatoes,
s4l.". Alfalfa gave a return Of
about sl2 per acre, while sugar beets
are Improbable at s1.25.
In general way the bulletin can
be summarized as follows: 1t is de-
cldedly more profitable to raise grain
crops under system of alternate
cropping and summer tillage of fall
lowing, than to raise them contin-
uously. The first crop will be heav-
ler if planted year after the ground
Is broken than if planted the same
year. The crops are better where the
talow is summer titled than where it
is allowed to lie untouched through
the season. There is no difference
whether the plOwing of the fallow is
done in the fall or spring. On the av-
erage five pecks Of seed per acre is
the most satisfactory. A lessened
yield is obtained where fall sown
grains are narrowed in the spring.
The grains planted with Il seed drill
give larger yields than when planted
in rows and intertilled. Of ali the
dry land crops, potatoes are the most
profitable, while Kharkey wheat,
which was tried out on the Fergus
county sub-station, gave net return
Of over S2l per acre.
The bulletin is illustrated through
out with interesting photographs
showing the comparative yield, OBJ
tanned III the different tests, and some
of them show in an astonishing man.
saertsFan cxn be accomplished OH dry
land. The circular was prepared
chiefly for the people who are Hood
ing into the state at the present time
in great numbers and settling up the
dry land regions Of this section Of the
great northwest. 1t is estimated that
there are 10000, 900 acres of land in
this state that can be farmed, but Of
this only fifth can ever be irrigated.
The remainder, if farmed, must be
done so under dry land methods. 1t
is those men who are coming into the
state who find themselves IN need of
instruction of the methods which
make success under dry land the
same as under humid conditions. 1t
WAS to determine, therefore. some
thing .of the cropping possibilities of
this large area Of land within the
state and to accumulate information
for the guidance of the many incom-
ing farmers that this line of investi-
CATION was taken up.

Starting at Ellis island in New
York or maybe the statue of liberty
on Bedloe's island. people of northern
Europe and the British Isles will
have moving picture trip the COM

Albany and from there to Buffalo,
over the Great Lakes to Duluth,
thence along the iron ranges of north
ern Minnesota, to the Twin City, and
Oh through Minnesota and the DakO-

mountains to the valleys and plains
of Washington, across the Cascades
to the coast lands and :the cities of
Seattle, Tacoma and Portland.
Plans for the moving picture trip
are being worked out by President
Hill of the Great Northern railway,
and moving picture experts are now
at the western end of the line sizing
up the country and picking out the
best places to take the pictures.
1t is Il gigantic educational cam
paign to make the northwest known

Big Money
Furnished
To Flax
Growers

Five hundred thousand dollars for
growers OF flax. This money is to be
loaned to Montana farmers without
interest by combination of paint
manufacturers of the East.
For several years paint manufac-
turers declare there has been a de-
crease in linseed oil, the decrease be-
ing on account of the shortage in flax
which is gradually being cut out by
farmers.
Other crops have become more pro-
titable, said a Miles City man yester-
1ay and the growing of flax neglected.
Flax, however, is an easy crop for
Montana. the business man contin-
ued. but it is being put aside.
rant manufactures are becoming
alarmed, it is declared, and to revive
the flax growing industry there is to
he pool OF paint manufacturers Of
$500, 900.

DRY FARMING Will
PAY Big ON MONTANA
FERTILE BENCH LANDS

One of the most important publica-
tions of the Montana Agricultural
college and experiment station for
the year is a bulletin entitled "Dry
Farming Investigations in Montana"
which Is now in the hands of the
printers, and will be ready for dis
tribution liz short time. The fifty
pages Of contents were compiled and
edited by Professor Alfred Atkinson,
head OF the agronomy department at
the college, and J. b. Nelson, super
intendent of the dry farming sub sta
tiOns run in connection with the col.
lege. Copies Of the bulletin can he
obtained by application to the expert
ment station. and this little circular
is invaluable to the dry land farmer.
In this bulletin the results of the
investigation work carried on ut iif-
teen sub-stations in various parts of
state for the past six years is sum-
married., and many valuable conclu-
sions drawn. Experiments were
run dealing with practically every
phase Of the dry land farming ques-
ton: cropping; rates and dates of
seeding: fall as compared with spring
plOwing: crop rotation in comparison
with growing the same crop year af-
ter year; variety tests; care of the
ground when cropped and when fal-
lowed, and several other branches Of
the subject are all thoroughly treated
in this edition. The plan Of the work
is outlined and the data concerning
winds, precipitation and other eli
matte conditions are taken into con-
sideration. In the variety tests, the
Turkey Red wheat gave the most sat
isfactory yields: as did the Canadian
white aud e,ixcy a11sy 'soats, ~will1eEit
WAS also found that white hulless
barley was the earlist maturing of
the grain crops. Concerning the
question Of continuous cropping, it
was found that the yields were about
ten per cent greater when the fallow
system was used. 1t was commonly
noticed that much better crop of
grain is raised when breaking is done
and summer tillage given the year
previous to the cropping, than when
the land is broken and seeded i'm
mediately. Concerning spring and
fall plowing it was found that as far
as yield was considered there was
but little difference. Rates Of seed
ing are in favor of the small rather
than the heavy planting. Five pecks
to the acre is found to be the most
satisfactory for grain, although in
some of experiement plats seeded
with two pecks per acre gave the
highest yields.

ELLIOTT TELLS
OF TRAFFIC DEAL

Another explanation, this time Off
cial, of the plan for bringing into
closer harmony the Northern Pacific
and the Northwestern was given in
New York Wednesday by Howard
Elliott, president of the Northern
Pacific.
Asked as to the report that he had
come to confer with President Gard
ner OF the Nor thWestern Oh a traffic
arrangem ent between the two roads
on business between st. Paul and
Chicago, Mr.. Elliott said:
Il very simple and informal dis
cussiOn between the two companies
has been maynitied to mean more
than it really does.
"A short time ago 1t was suggested
by the passenger departments of the
two roads that through car service
between Chicago and Northern Paci-
tic territory. similar in character to
the through service between Omaha
over the Northwestern, st. Paul.
Illinois Central and Union Pacific.
would be desirable.
"There is a growing movement Of
people between Chicago and Chicago
territory and points reached through
the Twin City by til he Northern Paci-
iic.
To-day the Northern Pacific has
through service over the Burlington
leaving Chicago in the morning. and
the Great Northern has through ser
vice leaving Chicago in the evening.
There is demand for more through
service leaving Chicago in the even
ing, and an arrangement Will, the
northwestern may be made for that
purpose.

LOOKING BRIGHT
FOR HEDGESYILLE

Hedgesville, May 81. - Prospects
never looked brighter for this part of
the midland empire than at present.
There is nearly $4,000 acres OF crop
tributary to Hedgesville and the rain
fall of the past two weeks assures
bOuntiful harvest.
Many people are locating home
steads here and many others are pur-
chasing homes from the big ranchs
which are being divided into farms.
Thirty-tive hundred acres of land
have been sold for farming purposes
in the last month. AS many as Ii
cars have been unloaded at one time
in the yards here in the last two
months.
Among the new faces to be seen on
the streets these days is that of W.
j. Barrett. who has been connected
with the circulation department of
the Minneapolis Tribune for several
years. Mr.. Barrett has located Il few
miles east of here and will bring his
family here in the near future.
Hedgesville is to have new two
story brick school house this year,
and plans are now in formation for a
grain elevator. A new hotel has
lately been finished and several other
buildings of less Importance are in
course Of construction. A drug store
is still needed and splendid oppor-
tunity is offered in that line.

the summer tillage just mentioned.
From to ten pounds "a or quarts)
OF seed should be put down to mois-
ture, and no nurse crop should be
planted. Seeding alfalfa in land
with drill press hastens germina-
tion by packing the moist soil close
around the seed. On such land the
seed should never be sOwn broadcast.

the Fredrickson garage. However, his
daschunde FLAX which had occupied
the seat OF honor when the old car was
in use, refused to adopt the new motor
vehicle and placed himself in the seat OF
his former love. Efforts of the mechanics
to dislodge the canine met with failure,
as he showed his teeth when anyone ap-
preached the car. AS he only was in the
garage in the daytime. the dog was finally
circumvented by moving the old car and
covering it with a tarpaulin..
