A Chinese.sage once made
the remark that if mankind
had never seen the moon and
it had suddenly appeared in

previous warning, nine-tenths
of the people would commit

Prof. M. l.. Wilson of the
Bozeman college advises Cut
Bank farmers to make it a
''leader' for the reason that
the flax zone in the north
west is not large, therefore
the prices will always mean
profits, provided, of course,
that the success attained IS
anything like the success at

Shaw is of the opinion that

Norris for Interior dept.
Washington, Dec. 13th.-When
Senator Henry L. Myers arrived in
Washington the other day he brot
with him a boom for Governor E.
l.. Norris of Montana for ~aecretary
of the interior in President Wilson's
cabinet. Senator Myers says that
Montana democrats are strong for
Norris for this cabinet Office. ana
will exert their utmost influence to
secure his appointment. 1t is known
from various sources that the ap.
pointment of Governor Norris
would be well received turnout the
West, for his views on conservation
and public land questions are well
known and generally approved
turnout public land states, but this
very fact. it is feared, will operats
against his appointment, for Cover.
nor Norris has many times antagon-
lied the critical conservationists and
they will set up a howl Of protest
if it appears he is bieng seriously
considered for this off ce. Senator
Myers, however, is going to use his
influence in behalf of Governor
Norris and thinks he will have the
support of some other western men.

cultural possibilities of this
section. 1t was a great in
centive to expansion and the
year 1912 saw a great in
crease in the acreage and
much better farming met
hods adopted. The crop
harvested in 1912 smashed all
previous records and in one
or two instances established
high records not only for this
but for all of Montana. The
quality of the grain was of
the finest and Mr.. T. J. Lar
son, manager of the local
elevator, informs this writer
that the tests excel any grain
taken in by his firm in any
of their elevators in this
state or the whole north
west.
While much of the grain
is still in bin and an accurate
statement of the production
impossible, it is conservative
ly estimated that the total
production will be around
the 100000 mark about
five times the amount pro-
duced in 1911. About 5000
acres were sown to winter
wheat this autumn. Com
bine this with the large acre
age that will be sown to
spring cereals and about
1900 acres that will be sown
to spring cereals and about
1000 acres that will be sown
for the first time, mostly to
flax, and with the same sue
cess attendant upon this SOW
ing, the magnitude of the
crop yield in the year 1913
will go up into big figures.

that it has proceeded as rap
idly as any of the better por-
tons of this new common
wealth is saying much, be-
cause the agricultural devel-
opinent OF Montana has been
nothing short of amazing.
The agencies that have
made this rapid transition
possible are, Of course, the
modern farm Implements;
the gasoline plow being fore
most as a factor. In the Cut
Bank community, this sum-
mer, one could stand on a
pfomintory and count a doz-
ca gas tractors and steam
plows at work and these with
the numerous plows pulled
by horses or oxen perform
ed wonders in turning the
sod.
Successful Grain Culture
The first serious attempt
at grain. raising was made in
1911, altho splendid crops
had been produced on small
patches of ground for sever
al years before that time.
But the crop of 1911 demon
strated most clearly the agri-

for 1912

Figures obtained at the 10
cal elevator show that more
grain has been received in
one month this year than was
delivered during the entire
season of 1911, and the pro-
Portionate increase may con-
tinue for years. While the
table of record high yields a
bove given is absolutely reli-
able the average is much low
