It's the Wheat" !" The basket was
mounted on a pedestal Of flour
sacks and banked around with
sacks of flour of the different
brands manufactured by the mill,
each sack being separated from it's
neighbor by a beautiful sheaf of
wheat. In the basket were daint-
lily dressed young ladies, who dis
pcnscd samples Of delicious bread
made from Harlowton flour. The
design was furnished by Mr.. j. II.
Supernaut Of Lewistown.
That the Harlowton mill is max
ing better flour than any mill i'll

The Harlowton news., 1912-10-04

The inh abitants Of the eastern
part Of Meaghcer ounty and the
northern part Of Sweetgrass and
others are very much interested in
the question Of creating a new
county to be called Wheatland.
The first and great question that
interests the tax payer is how
much, if any, will it raise our
taxes
There are two ways Of raising
the taxes "a by increasing the as
sessed valuation ~ by increasing
the rates The first Of these re-
quires no argument as the assess
ed valuation will not be increased
any more rapidly than it would be
if you remained in Meagher county.
The second question is one thai
requires considerable study, more
than the average man can give it.
/ have made it study for some
time, and if it can be proven that
your tax rate will not be increased
there is not q voter but will be in
favor Of the creation Of Wheatland
county. 81,
The tax rate for state and gener-
al school fund will remain the same
as at present.
The assessed valuation OF the
new county Will be five million
dollars according Il, the assessed
valuation Of 1912.
The rates below are the tax rate

MONTANA A
WHEAT STATE
Figures Prove That Montana Is
Fast Becoming a Great
Grain Producer.

A few years ago Montana was
not mentioned rs a wheat possibil-
ity. When an easterner spoke of
this state. at once he associated it,
in his mind with stock. mines and
Indians. Today when the govern
ment of the United States makes d
crop report, Montana is one of the
states mentioned in the report the
same as North Dakota, Minnesota,
Missouri or others.
Montana was sixteenth in the
amount of acreage sowed in wheat
this year, but will be seventh in
the amount of wheat. The states
that produce more wheat are as
follows with amount produced:
North Dakota 140,25O,OOO
Kansas 96,25O,OOO
Minnesota 65,6OO,OOO
South Dakota 68,320.OOO
Washington 52,513,OOO
Nebraska 44,OOO,0OO
Montana 25,O9O,OOO
This state had only one-fourth as
much acreage as Nebraska, but
produced away over half as much
grain, about one-siNth as much as
South Dakota and nearly two
fifth as much grain, one eleventh as
much acreage as n. Dakota and
over two-eleyenths as much grain.
In a very few years Montana will
produce more wheat than any state
in the Union.
Some seven years ago the old
"Jys,vsy,,;lt'' railroad extended its
line from HarlowtOn to Lewistown.
AT once all the vacant land adjac-
ent to the railroad was filed on by
| Homestead and Desert entries. It
was not thought than any of the
land would produce a crop with;
out irrigation. This year Fergus
county has four and one half mil
lion bushel of wheat to market.
Four years ago the merchants of
Harlowton shipped in wheat for
chicken feed. This year Meagher
county farmers will market 625, 900
bushels Of wheat.
What the future has in store for
Montana as a wheat growing state,
it is nearly impossible to imagine,
but it is safe to state that Monta
na will produce more wheat than
any state in the Union, inside of
five or six years. We have abund-
ant of land, just as fertile as that
growing wheat today, waiting the
plow to turn the rich loan to the
!, rays of the sun. Land that will
produce from twenty to forty bush
els of wheat to the acre.
