Flax Is Profitable For
Both Fiber And Seed

Billings, Mont, Feb. 9th. That
fax fiber produced OH uplands and
irrigated valleys of Montana, is
equal, if not superior to any grown
in America or Europe. is the opinion
of George Pearson, al expert Of Not
tingham. Eng, who has been con-
ducting Investigations in this local.
ity for several days. Mr.. Pearson
declares that Notwithstanding the
fact that farmers have been culti-
waiting fax only for seed, the straw
shows fully 20 per cent of fiber whose
strength and texture can not be ex-
celled. He believes that the produc-
tion of this plant both for seed and
fiber, will within few years, be one
of the leading agricultural industries
Of Montana.
At the request of T.. j. Brick er,
general immigration agent for the
Northern Pacific, DIR. w. Y. Sud-
duth has forwarded quantity of al
falfa bread for use in the demonstra-
tion car which the company is send
ing out. 1t is also announced by the
Doctor that the management of the
dining car service has announced
that alfalfa bread will in the future
form part of the regular menu. A
number of local hotels have added it
to the bill of fare. It is said by those
who have sampled alfalfa bread, that
it is equal in all respects and SUPER
ior in some to that made from wheat
flour.
One of the finest consignments of
cattle that have gone out of this Sec
tion was twenty-five car loads
shipped to Chicago this week by
O'Donnell Bros. and l.. G. Lehfeldt !.
The animals were in tip top condi :
tion and had been fattened in the
yards of the Billings sugar company
on ration Of beet pulp and alfalfa.

HELENA STATE NURSERY ISSUES
HANDSOME CATALOGUE

The 1912 edition of the catalog #

says the Montana Daily Record, is
the finest catalog ever issued by a
Montana firm. II has just com e

workmanship, and general attractive
ness of this one hundred page book.
is the best argument that could be
adduced in favor of patronizing home
industry. In the edition are fifteen
thousand copies, requiring five tons
of calendared book paper, that was
especially made to size and order.
Hundreds of illustrations enhance
the books value and appearance.
Its contents can not be epitomized
as the nursery handles as large a
stock as any firm in the country.
Flowers, perennials, shrubs aud
vines, shade and ornamental trees,
fruit trees, bush fruits, vegetable
and garden roots, cut flowers, flower
seeds, field seeds, lawn grass, and
garden tools-these are the main di
visions of the catalog.
As a work of reference to the wife
who is fond of plants, to the city man
who has a garden, or is identifying
his premises, to the truck farmer,
the orchardist and the farmer the
book is invaluable. Hints on plant
ing, the care of plants, trees and
the uses of each. all CLEANED from
years of experience under Montana
climatic conditions, make everyone
interested desire a copy.

Besides the free homesteads, the
salubrious climate, the wonderful
agricultural possibilities, and the
promised irrigation, there are still
other reasons of which we can proud
" speak, that should bring people to
Valley county to locate. One ad-
vantage that has come to the atten-
tion of the writer is that of two crops
of oats from the same ground during
the past season. In the spring Of
1911, Archie Houle, a prosperous
farmer southwest of town, whose
cultivated land was part of the area
irrigated by water from the ditch,
sowed number of acres of land to
oats and in due time reaped al ex
cellent crop, weighing 4s pounds
to the bushel. After the first crop
was harvested, copious rains fell
and soon the field was green with a
thrifty second growth. The second
crop grew rapidly and Mr.. Houle
was surprised one day to find the
oats "heading out''. Later, lie cut
the crop for feed and decided to
thresh a part of it, realizing a hum
dred bushels of extra fine oats.

NEW VARIETY OF COTTON RACES IN TWO DISTRICTS
LONG STAPLE UPLAND BRINGS
A MUCH HIGHER PRICE.
Dawson Citizen Sees Field of 1t in
Dougherty County and Was Favor
ably Impressed With 1t.

Dawson Citizen Sees Field OF 1t Ill
Dougherty County and Was Favor
ably Impressed With 1t.
While on visit to Dougherty
county some weeks ago Mr.. A. j.
Hill, one of Dawson's prominent
warehousemen, saw on DR.. Gillespie's
farm a field of what is known as
upland long staple cotton.
This cotton yields fully as well
as the ordinary kind and brings
about a third more in price. MI
Hill SAYS from the 50-acre field he
saw 40 bales that had been gathered
and several more remained to pc
picked. and it was selling at IL II
to Is cents a pound.
This is perhaps the same variety
of cotton which reports say much
attention is being paid to in South
Carolina, Mississippi and some other
Southern states. The Piedmont re-
gions of South Carolina and the Mis-
sissippi delta have put large
amount of this cotton on the market
this year. and according to reports IL
is selling at from 5 to 20 cents a
Mound. while some of it sells as high
as % and 23 cents. 1t ranges about
half way between upland cotton and
the regular sea island cotton. Re
norts indicate that the industry has
become very great, and the growers
are organizing for the purpose OF
having more attention pa1d 10 the
grading. They say that II they can
get it properly graded it Will range
higher than it does at present.
Some of the enterprising cotton
growers of Terrell county might do
well to give this new variety trial
next year.
