PROF. A. e. CHAMBERLAIN CALLS
THIS MOST WONDERFUL AGRI-
CULTURAL REGION KNOWN.
FUTURE FULL OF PROMISE
Expert in the Employ Of the Great
Northern Enthusiastic Over What
He Saw Upon Recent Trip to This
Part Of Treasure State-Favorabie
Conditions for Grain Growing.

Prof. A. E. Chamberlain, who is in
the employ of the Great Northern and
who recently paid the Judith Basin a
visit for the purpose of delivering an
address at Hobson, contributed in the
last issue of the Dakota Farmer an in
teresting article on the Basin. The
contribution is as follows:
A trip to the famous Judith Basin
is well worth the time and expense
attendant to any person interested in
visiting superior agricultural region
This famous Basin, that produces
the best quality of grains grown any
where in the United States, lies be-
tween two ranges of hills, in the heart
of the great state of Montana. The
only thing it needs to make it the
most famous agricultural region or
the continent is more people.
But they are coming, and will con
tinue to come until the vast tract EN-
braced within the Basin has settler
for each quarter section Of land.
A Peculiar Formation.
The Judith Basin presents different
characteristics in many respects thar
any other agricultural section we evel
saw. In the first place, we expected
to find vast level tract Of prairie
land. Insead of that, it is rolling
There is practically no waste lane
within the Basin. Generally speaking
an abundance of splendid water is OBJ
tanned within a reasonable depth
The varieties Of grasses on the
prairies are of much larger type Of
character than are generally found OF
the prairies of Montana or the Da
kotas.
The soil and subsoil varies greatly
We did not see during our trip an!
soil that looked as though it woult
be disposed to blow and there is n,

The Presen At Season.

When we were there things looked
the most unfavorable for this years
crop that they have ever looked in the
Basin. Grains that were poorly plant.
ed-winter grains that were put in
late in a poor seed bed, and spring
grains that were not we'll put in
were suffering for want of moisture,
But one good rain within a week of
the time we saw 1t will mean good
crop even from the rather poorly
titled soil.
But where the winter grains were
put in early and on well-tilled soil
they were not suffering particle
from want of moisture. They gave
promise of 80 to 45-bushel crop per
acre. Good farming pays in any coun
try, and the better the country the
better 1t pays.

RESULTS OF MATINEE RACING.
Held at DeIlwood Park Yesterday Aft

Quite a number of enthusiasts Wen
out to Dellwood park yesterday after
noon to witness the matinee racinl
between Frank, driven by Mr.. Moore
Gentry, driven by Mr.. Bostick; ant
Kirby, driven by Shorty. The racing
was in mile heats.
Considering the fact that many
consider the track rather slow, a re
markedly good showing was made
Frank, with Moore up, winning the
first two straight heats.
Results: Frank (Moore), first; Gen
try (Bostick), second; Kirby Shorty
third.
Time: First heat, 2:3O; second heat
2:24.
Mr.. Moore, who drove Frank, said
that he felt positive he could have
made the mile in five seconds faster
time, and considering that the track
is rather slow. he could even do much
better on a fast rack.
Frank stepped off the second heat
in fine style without bobble, and
demonstrated that he is q remarkably
fast horse.
