the prairies are turning into wheat
fields.
| 1t is estimated here by the author
/ tiles of the state agricultural college
that the wheat crop in Montana this
year will be between 3O.OOO, 900 to
10000, 900 bushels. nearly as much as
the average wheat crop in Nebraska,
and the population of Montana has
doubled in the last three or four
wears.
The old cattle and sheep ranchers.
after an unsuccessful resistance to
the incoming wheat farmers have
| surrendered to the inevitable and are
selling out their lands, some of them
! regreting the changed conditions.
that 'things ain't as they used to be-
in Montana. while others, rich from
the sale of their ranch properties, and
retired to the towns and cities, are
content to ride over the country in
their hig automobiles and let the
wheat farmers do the work.
One of these retired ranchers, Mr..
Fergus. asked me to ride with him Il
miles out into the country. There
was Il garden and an orchard and Il
berry patch of several acres that he
had started years ago OH the old
ranch, and he wanted to see that little
spO. particularly. Just refresh his
memory of the early days. We rode
III that big machine for II or Il miles
along the stream all the way over
land that belonged to this ranch that
Mr.. Fergus sold last year to some
Wisconsin people for S2OO,tWO.
Another old timer, Dave lIilger, in
invited party to his ranch on Flat
willow creek. Here we found a doz-
en- men and as many teams harvest
ing a 500-acre patch OF alfalfa that
brings to the ranch owner $40, 900 u
year in stack. Sheep men with their
bands OF sheep out III the hilly cOun-
try buy up these big alfalfa yields,
bring their sheep down to the ranch
house the sheep in winter while they
fatten on alfalfa. A mile or two
from this alfalfa harvesting scene we
saw 80 men and 100 horses with all
sorts Of dirt moving machinery dig
ging a water ditch and building a
dam that is to create Il lake that will
store water for $4,000 acres. The
general government helps some and
the state Of Montana helps some in
these big irrigation projects. The
hOmesteaders and the small land hold
ers are to get perpetual water rights
from this reservoir at $40 to Sl2 an
acre. When waterel the land is
worth III many cases 500 III acre for
the irrigated land produces album
dainty and never misses Il crop.
Montana is IA tine place to come tor
summer outing. Everything is
moving here. 1t is IL time Of the be-
ginning OF things. There is activity
IN town and country. The railroads
now have the new idea that Montana
is to be peopled with wheat farmers
and that stock raising is to be carried
on more than ever, by the many rath-
er than by the few. like this idea
of Il free for all chance in great
state like this that has so much room
for the beginning of things. 1t is ev-

ANOTHER BOOST
FOR MONTANA

In the Sioux City NowN Daily
Tribune Of August 18th. there is an
interesting article from the pen Of
j. w. johnson, father of Cashier
Johnson, of the First National bank
OF Lewistown. 1t is published as spe-
cial correspondence from Lewistown
and is most interesting reading. The
article is as follows:
Sight seeing in Montana suggests
how opportunity abounds in new
state.
young man wanting to start and
to grow into ownership of land has
more chances for success here in
Montana now because there is less
competition between men for the
opportunities. Wheat land is easy
to get, low priced, because there is
so much land and SO few people and
because the wheat producing b,si-
ness is only in the beginning.
Montana is larger in area than
Nebraska and Kansas combined, has
states and would he producing more
wheat now than is produced in those
two states if the railroad managers
had understood from the beginning
what they know now OF Montana
possibilities and had advertised and
encouraged farm immigration and
wheat production in Montana as they
did in Nebraska and Kansas in the
early years there.
\ state in its individuality is like
Il man going into business. 1t needs
to advertise what it can do. 1t must
let the home seeking people of the
world know what it has to offer to
beginners in the way Of opportunity.
The men who built the railroads
through Montana did not under
stand the big prairie state at the
first. They expected nothing and
encouraged nothing in Montana but
mining and the raising of cattle and
sheep. The stOckmen got owner
ship over the waterad lands along
the streams and each rancher was
king of the broad prairies. the miles
and miles of rich grazing land that
he did not own and Oh which he
paid no taxes, king of the prairie,
because he controlled the water. The
railroads carried the cattle and
sheep to the eastern markets and
were satisfied, and the ranchers were

satisfied with the wealth gathered
from cattle and sheep fattened on
the public domain. No farmers came
to Montana from Minnesota, Iowa,
or Wisconsin, for no one told them
there that Montana had more wheat
land than those three states com
bined. But there always comes for
ward some man to give out the new
est thought and to start the people
into Il new movement. Prof. Ililgard.
the noted agricultural authority,
analyzing the prairie soil of Mon
tana discovered that it was rich in
nitrogen and lime content, the elp-
mentS necessary to wheat pyOduc-
tiOn.
Some Of the ranchers, in order to
test the professors discovery, tried
wheat on their irrigated land and
got enormous yields OF No. wheat.
Then the advocates of dry farming
came forward and announce that
the prairies and benchlands would
also produce wheat without irriga-
ton. \ few men tried wheat OH the
dry priarie land and succeeded so
well, that now only a few years
since the wheat industry was started.
it has developed until the sheep and
cattle have been crowded back into

MONTANA LAND IS
CHOICE IN EAST

The flood of immigration is Just
started toward this state" declared
Lewis Penwell, president of the North
western State Development league
and the state fair, who has Just re-
turned from trip to Chicago and st.
raul, arranging at the latter place
the details of the big northwest land
products show to be held in st. Paul
IN September, says the Helena Inde-
pendent.
From my personal experience, as
well as from observation, l can say
that never in the history of the state
has there been the widespread inter-
est in Montana lands that there is at
the present time. The settler and the
prospective settler all have their eyes
on Montana and the big land dealer.
appreciative OF this, is also looking
this way. Consequently the demand
for Montana farming land is greater
than ever before.
Montana Granary.
'There's s good reason for this. On
my return came over the Milwaukee
and observed a striking illustration
OF the superiority of Montana as Il
farming state. From the Milwaukee
IN South Dakota to the Yellowstone
there was scarcely a hay stack to be
observed. The country was parched
and burned to horrible degree.
Never before have observed the ef-
fects of such drouth. In fact, it is
doubtful if ever before such drouth
was experienced in South Dakota and
southern North Dakota, and the long
trains of covered wagons bore testi-
mOnials to the fact that many people
were leaving the country.
1.-THE change when we reached the
Montana line was remarkable. 1t is
hard to account for it, but the fact
remains that after we crossed the
Yellowstone there was an entirely
different look to the country. Every
where were farms and prosperous
looking ones at that. Most Of them
We're new, but everywhere was the
evidence If sufficient rainfall and
bOunteOus crops. Montana is GER
tainly demonstrating that il is a greet
success as a farming state.'
Mr.. Penwell is much interested in
the land show. and bemOans the fact
that the legislature did not make
liberal appropriation for the advertis-
ing of it's resources.
"rhe state itself is the largest
landowner in Montana he said,
land at Il cost OF but ten cents al
acre OH the states own land an ad-
mirable showing could lie made.
That the result would be ten-fold on
the cost to the state alone cannot be
doubted"

SNOBel SHNESS.

Men seek universities for four
objects. These are the desire for
friendship. knowledge. breadth
and power. While they are all
laudable motives. the prepara-
tion for service should dominate
them. Unless considered as by
products Of service the valuable
time spent in the quest for them
has been practically wasted.
Thus the desire for knowledge
as an end leads nowhere. and
the man who studies only for
marks and strives to become Il
mere encyclopedia is rightly con-
demned by his fellow students.
There are many political corrup-
tionists today who hold college
diplomas. The only way Of in
surfing that education will result
In power for good is to keep in
mind constantly the ideal Of
service. a false sense Of pro-
portion acquired during college
days often sticks to a man
through life and has caused
many Il nlnn to leave the path of
usefulness for II life Of vice and
lnzineSS. College snob!,ishness
IL one of the things which arc
aScrlbable to fMlSe sense Of
proportion. Anson Phelps
