sample of the prevailing crops in
his country, There was oats that
measured 5 foot q 1-2 inches, flax 25
inches, alfalfa % inches, rye foot
4 inches, barley 4 foot inches and
some of as nice potatoes as one
could wish for. Mr.. Morse said all
grain looked good and he predicted
yield of from 35 to 40 bushels per
acre. w. ID. Jones, the successful
fall wheat grower in that section
has tract of 200 acres which Mr..
Morse says will go 40 bushels or
more to the acre.

The Rainbow Hotel, the most

with an atmosphere of home-like
cordiality, rare politeness and con-
geniality. No frosty formality a
mong the clerks. no fawning for
tips in the elegant dining room,
no insolent bell-hops. Over all is
is the guiding genius of Mr.. Ward,
the affable and seasoned manager.
The business session was enjoy
able and profitable. The publishers
of Montana are alert, red -blooded
business men. the type you will al
ways find in virgin lands or blazing
trails in the far places. No whining
or pleading for support" no cord
ood-cabbage description barter in
theirs They are constructive forces
in the development of a bountiful
commonwealth-and they know it.
DR.. 0. M. Lanstrum, Good Fellow

list, again heads the association. The
Helena man has been one of the po-
tent forces in preserving the lnteg-
rity, the dignity and the influence
of the organization for years and

valuable services. The suave and

our fine fields of wheat, oats and
flax, our elevators and our mills
that are being built. 1t is not
necessary to irrigate in order to

grain to be seen this year in our
state is on unirrigated land' said
he.

Pure Patriot

Charley McCarty, of Hibernian

of the extreme type, bounded into

For several years Charley operat-
ed farm, in the capacity of tenant,
back in Minnesota near the former
home town of the writer. Charley
now looks back upon his lean and
fallow years as tenant with sombre
regret and wishes ne had come to
northern Montana a few years
sooner, that his bank-role might be
of more bulging proportions.
Boy, / was sure a mark to play
the part Of renter in that country
for SO many years" he mused.
When | went there | was bent"
when | left there | was broke" :"
Why, back there they say that
twenty bushels of wheau to the acre
is great big crop; our ranchers
here turn up their noses and call
that failure. My friend John Long
of Couttes threshed twenty bushels
to the acre last year and they all
called it half crop"
| have been trying to get few
OF those renter friends of mine out
here but they won't believe me. |
wish they could see that 20O-acre
field of John Halls. Ii that field
doesn't yield fifty bushels to the
acre I'll never again risk a guess.
1t was a bundle every step you took
and the shocks are SO thick that it
is almost impossible to drive team
and wagon thru them. The heads
are seven inches long and six rows
of wheat on every head"
This land north of Cut Bank
will be selling for $50 acre when
the farmers back east get the real
facts and few more crops like this
will boost it to twice that amount"
said Charlie as he took his departure
and wended his way back to the
laughing grain fields on the Hall
ranch.
