First in Alfalfa

1t is mot surprising that the recent development of Montana, in an
agricultural way, has been marvellous. The fertility Of the soil of this
great state of unlimited resources, is best described by the reports of the
Bureau of Agriculture, at. Washington, L. C.
Montana is not only the Incompatible grain producer of this Union,
but her qualities of grain are prize winners weherever exhibited in com.
petition. I
These are indiputable facts, and failure on the part of one engaged
in farming here, can be attributed only to the man and not to the land,
the soil the conditions, or the markets. Is this not true? Investigate
and satisfy yourself
Montana as a producer OF alfalfa, timothy, and all grasses and vege-
tables, ranks high. The qualities are equal to the best. The acre yields
have demonstrated the real value, when under cultivation, and will rapidly
increase the prices that are now asked for agricultural properties in
this state. @ E
Fruit growing is an industry of Importance here and the suitableness
OF the soil and climate has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of those
who have engaged in that business on a large scale. In 1890, Montana
produced but 1896 boxes Of apples, while in 1910, our yield was 615O0o
boxes. ~
The cultivation of the soil, and the rapid development of Montana
as an agricultural state, will no doubt, increase activity in connection
with the many other natural resources here. Montana is, and has BEEN
for many years, a great producer of gold, silver. copper lead, zinc and
coal and her mines give employment to many thousands of miners. and
smeternen. These men are consumers of farm products, of dairy pro-
ducts and of poultry, eggs, beef mutton and pork. Ready markets are
afforded and good prices are always obtanable. The Development of
other natural resources in this state will give employment to men, sufc-a
lent in number, to consume the products of her farmers for many years
to- come. j.. 5# s@

Montana Leads the World

For the year 1911, Montana's wheat yield per acre, was 317 bushels.
Compared with other states in the Union, Montana ranks first in the yield
per acre Of wheat; 267 bushels per acre having been the average produc-
ton for the years from 1S95l90S. When it is taken into consideration
that comparatively little of the total wheat producing area is in cultiYa-
ton, It is evident that Montana will take first rank as a wheat producing
