HUNTLEY FARMS ARE PAYING.
Montana irrigated Lands Give Good
Returns to TiIIers.

Washington. - The success which
farmers are achieving on the Huntley
irrigation project in Montana was at
tested in a report just received by the
United States reclamation service
which shows 1925 an acre had been
realized from raising cucumbers.
One farmer, who turns what
bers he and some of his neighbora
raise into pickles, has orders from
Montana towns for t%hirty-one carloads
Of these appetizers. The cucumber
fields, besides being profitable in them
selves, afford work for sugar beet
laborers when they are not employed
in the beet fields.
Seventeen new homestead filings
were made on the Huntley project in
he last month, leaving 1913 farms,
mostly 40-acre tracts still available for
settlers.
The report adds hat $500 acres ON
the Huntley project were planted to
sugar beets this year, and that the
crop, which is now being harvested.
