yates Of his college in the interest of

Harry has so acres in crop on his
homestead southeast of the city and
will undoubtedly realize enough from
his crop to take unto himself Il help
mate and go farming more extern
sively.
Miller Il Davis have bought the old
McNeply farm OF 24O acres. Ii is not
known whether both members of the
firm are going to become dry land
farmers, or Just one of them, but it is
surmised that they bought it at such
IL bargain that they will sell it cheap
and allow the purchaser to make IA
profit also.
c. \. McChesney has resigned the
management Of the Montana Lumber
company at Judith Gap, AID it is I'M
derstood he will take charge Of the
yard and elevator at Harneill. 1t is
reported that III. y. Jones, the old

Tuesday night at about O'Clock it
began raining and continued all
night long. Wednesday it rained
more or less all day with very cool
weather. L he weather prophets
claim it will rain for several days.
THIS wet spell will retard the cutting
OF grain that is ready to be harvested,
but it will be OF incalcuable value to
all spring crops and gardens. 1t
looks now us if central Montana will
harvest the greatest crop of every
thing planted in the history of the
state.
Lee and Bud Beers are going into
the farming business right. The
boys made deal with their father
this spring for 20 acres of his home
stead near town, and about June
sowed same flax. The boys brought
in a sample this week that looks like

the work in connection with the crop
and will get all the proceeds. II ev-

boys will clear about $3.50 each Oh
their first attempt at practical farm

Talk about samples of oats. II. NJ.
Hanson brought to the journal Tues
day samples of oats from his ranch
near Nihill that measured - inches,
and looks as if it would yield so bu-

ward, John Dolan brought in some
samples from his farm adjoining the
townsite Of Judith Gap measuring 56
inches, with good prospect for Il
yield Of over 100 bushels per acre.
Mr.. Dolan also brought in a sample
of spring wheat, the seed of which he
bought for Scotch fife, but it is beard

spring wheat. 1t looks like good
yielder, however.
Manager Sherwood of the Royal
Milling company ut Great Falls, was
here Wednesday OH his way to Lewis
town. Several business men met him
to ascertain why his company did not
put in an elevator in Judith Gap, and
as near as could be ascertained from
the conversation the reason his COM
