Burlington Agent
Sees Big Crops in
State of Montana

General Agent Hunter of the Burling-
ton, with station at Billings. Mont, is
at headquarters, and sees great things
in store for Montana agriculturally next
year. Said Mr.. Hunter:
THE prospects for a big crop of wheat
were never better than now. The moist
ure has been abundant. and with high
prices prevailing. indications are that the
acreage will be unusually large. Weather
has been good and live stock is in the
best kind of condition. Even now cattle
on the range are fit for beef, something
that is unusual at this season of the
year.
THE demand for horses for the war
In Europe is likely TO prove something
of a handicap, for it is going to reduce
the supply to a minimum and may Gre
ate a shortage. Buyers for the British
and French armies have been over
running the country and are rapidly
picking up the best OF the animals.
Large numbers have been shipped from
Miles City which has been the principal
point of assembling. These agents have
paid such prices that farmers and
ranchers have found it Impossible to re-
sist the tempting offers and they have, in
many instances. sold themselves short"

porarily unbalanced his reason. He was
