FACTS AND FIGURES OF ACRI-
CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT

Mont ana is amazing government
statisticians in it's evolution from
stock raising state to an agricultur-
al empire.
The transformation has been moth
ing short of marvellous in the last
two years, when figures are COM
pared. They mark the rapid passing
of the range era. The Montanan, of
course, realizes this more than the
easterner because he is upon the
ground and sees the change that is
going OH under the magical develop
ment of soil cultivation. Still, even
the oldest resident of the state would
be astonished by a careful perusal OF
the census figures just published by
the bureau of statistics of the United
States agricultural department. A
marked stride in Montana progress
since 1910 is shown by the increase
of So, 6,21s, ,O7s. 80 in the total valuation
of the states food and domestic ami
mails.
There is a reason for this enormous
addition to the wealth of the Treas
ure state. The unusually large num-
bers of settlers that have poured into
the tillable sections tells the story,
especially the influx into the north.

of tive Great Northern Railway. In
Chouteau county alone nearly 5000
homeseekers having settled during
the past two years. This was al inn
migration record breaker. The Unit
ed States land office figures show
Chouteau county was the banner
magnetic spot of the nation for set
tiers during 1910 and 1911. This sec
tion heretofore had been regarded
merely as stock grazing country.
Buffalo had roamed the prairies ages
before giving way to the western
steer. 1t was not until the Great
Northern soil experts made tests of
this virgin ground that it's real pro-
ductivity became known. When the
virgin sod was turned over tests
showed the land was ideally adapted
to grain growth. Some of the best
farms of the nation are now in pro-
cess of making in Blame. Hill and
Valley counties.
