JARDINE TELLS
WHAT TO RAISE

Colorado Springs. Col, Nov. >, 1t
is all very we'll for scientists to study
and delve and dig for the ultimate
salvation Of the farmer in the dry
land belt. but first tell him-and do
it qnickly- what to grow that will
bring in money. This. i'm effect, was
the commOn-sense, principle voiced
at the International Dry Farming
congress by Prof. W. NJ. Jardine of
Kansas.
"The farmer isn't concerned about
fertility and mtrates and inoculation
and things like that" said Professor
Jarline. "What he wants is a living
and he wants it now. We must help
him to get it. Show him how to do
something now; tell him how to feed
his family, first, and then he will be
in Il position to take up and study the
the more technical problems OF farm
life
Professor .Jardine told the farmers
to raise potatoes, as one OF the surer
means OF getting an immediate living
on the dry lands. For seed, he said in
brief. use selected tubers, hand pick
ed. Ii not too large, plant single tu-
bers with only one or two eyes. II
large, cut in halves. Two eyes are
better than six in seed potatoes.
Plant in rows three feet apart, and
two feet apart in the rows, four inches
deep. Subsoilng is fairly satisfactory.
Plant Early patoskey, Irish CObbler,
and Early Ohio.
'"The varieties do not give the larg-
est yields, admit" said the speak
er, "but they are the earliest and,
therefore, the most advisable because
the farmer lnay need the money"
"Only three crops on the dry lands
are making money!" Professor Jar

retested before they will he given
clean bills m health by the state
authorities, according to DR.. NJ. f..
Knowles who has returned from st.
Paul where he attended the annual
meeting Of the Livestock Sanitary
Authorities OF the Northwest. 1t
was brought out at the meeting that
the Illinois authorities have lmprOp-
erly certified to livestock shipments
from that state, in issuing certificates
without making any examination of
the stock. 1t was decided cOnse-
quently not to accept any shipments
from Illinois except when certified to

That time has passed when the

A Debt Of Gratitude.

The state Of Montana owes Il debt
of gratitude to Mrs. Paul Van Cleve,
who was instrumental in getting the
people of Montana interested in the
New York Land Show. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs. Van Clevp per-
sonally contracted for space for this
state ut her own bellest after the mat
ter had apparently been overlooked at
home. After the success that Mon
tana has met with at the show she
should be awarded medal for her
interest and unceasing labors in pro-
perly presenting to the world the true
possibilities of our great state. -

Senator George, who is one OF the

president of the State Fair association
was enthusiastic in discussing the
future OF Helena and Montana.

MONTANANS BOOST
THEIR HOME STATE

Montana men who visit New York
and other metropolitan centers do
much to advertise the state and give
easterners different idea from the
belief that Butte is Il wild mining
camp, Indians roam abroad to SCALP
the unwary settle: and the members
of his family, and that all the civil
lied portion of the nation is within
the limits of Manhattan isle.
A recent series of interviews in the
New York Herald, given by residents
of the treasure state during the land
show, affords a good insight into the
future of Montana and it's cities.
1t is as follows:
Helena Mont, has been called the
"biggest little city" in America. Its
per capita wealth exceeds that of
Tuxedo. Pioneers who followed the
trail of Lewis and Clark took sou, ,O(,O,.
600 in gold ore from Last Chance
Gulch. which is now the principal
business street of the city. Helena
is the political, financial and social
center OF the treasure state. 1t is
distinctly Il city of homes.
'TliOse who look upon II elena as Il
wild and Wo0lly town are sadly misin-
formed" said A. L. Spriggs, formerly
governor Of Montana. at the Waldorf
Astoria last night "Although Il city
Of small population, Helena is as pro-
gressive. wide-awake and up-to-date
as any city of half a million population
in the east
Scores of Helena residents are in
New York attending the American
Land and Irrigation exposition ut
Madison Square garden. Among the
most prominent of these are State
Senator W. r. George and II. w.
Child, president Of the Yellowstone
Transportation and Hotel company.
AT the WaldOrf-Astoria last night
Mr.. Child, who is never at a loss to
express himself frankly about Helena
and Montana said.
81 see that Montana has taken four
silver cups for it's alfalfa. wheat. oats
and barley at the Land and Irrigation
exposition. Can you imagine the ef-
feet this will have upon Samuel G.
Blythe, the celebrated transcontinen-
tai scrivener? Sam as you are aware
has become citizen of Helena. The
Oat crop from the Gallatin valley.
where he owns $4,000 acres, supplied
the samples for which the silver cup
was bestowed.
Montana possesses all the neces-
sary quality to make her the biggest
and strongest and most prosperous
state commercially west Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Of course the people
have had great deal to do with it,

WHEAT YIELD
INCREASES

The wheat yield of Montana in.
creased "a per cent during the past
year. the oats yield 43.5 per cent and
the barley yield ;2.S per cent.
During the year there were produce
ed in Montana l6,4l9,OOO bushels Of
wheat, 1900. 900 bushels of oats and
,043. 900 bushels of barley.
These figures are from the esti-
mates made by Victor II. O!mstead.
chief statistician of the United States
department of agriculture, from grow
ers' reports.
The following table shows the re-
markable increase in grain produc-
ton in this state. brought about by
the development of the farming lands
of Montana:

The above shows that the increase
in gra'n production in Montana for
the wear is practically 80 per cent, a
showing which is declared to be al

of the country.

Montana lead all the four northwest
ern states in the production of oats
but its per cpntage OF increase is high
er than that of any other state, this
state producing almost half of the
oats OF the four northwestern states
for which figures are given.
At the present rate of increase
Montana will next year be far in the
lead of Oregon in wheat production.
will be Il couple Of million bushels
ahead OF Idaho. will produce twice as
much wheat as the state of Washing

preparation of $1,000 to replenish and
maintain these Libraries for the bene-
fit of the people,

I'VE are encouraged by growing
public interest in the subject of free
libraries, and a more general appreci-
alton by the public of their import
ance, both in advancing the cause of
education and raising the standards
of culture and good citizenship
wherever they are established. II is
our desire that our beloved State
shall be in the van in this march of
