Where Prize Grain is Raised

The announcement that F. c. Sum-
ner, of Clyde Park, won "a of the %
prizes awarded to Montana grain ex-
hibits at the National Corn show at
Dallas, Tex, makes that part of Mon
tana a locality of general interest.
The Clyde Park country is about
twenty miles north of Livingston, in
Park county.
A few years ago this section was
unknown as a farming community-un
known except to a very few pioneers
who were engaged in wheat growing
long before the Northern Pacific rail-
road company built its Shields river
branch in 1909. In recent years, how.
ever, the Shields river valley farmers
have come into distinct prominence.
In 1912 Turkey Red wheat grown in
this valley carried off the first prize
of $4,000 at the Minneapolis Land
exposition for the best wheat grown
in the American Northwest. Other
grain and forage exhibits from that
section aisO won awards at that and
other national eApcs:tions. Last year
the products of the Shields river val
ley won high honors at the state fair.
Wherever shown grain and forage
crops of that section have won awards
in the face of competition however
keen.
The first settlers in the Shields
river country were stockmen. Later
grain was grown on the bench lands.
Farmers began to develop these about
rs years ago.. Some of the best of the
early grain farms we're located on the
Rock Creek bench by men who filed
under the homestead laws and pur-
chased other lands from the Northern
Pacific railroad company at $1.25 an
acre.
Clyde Park was on the map a quar-
ter of a century ago, but then it had
only a school house, blacksmith shop,
and perhaps a church. When the
Northern Pacific built it's branch, Is
miles up the Shields river, Clyde Park
developed into an enterprising town.
1t now has about 600 people, and is
the trading point for a large and pros
porous section.
All the government land in the
Shields river valley was taken up
years ago. Irrigated lands may be
had there at prices. ranging from $50
to 500 an acre. Some of the high
priced lands have produced large
yields of seed peas. The seed grow.
ing industry is each year growing in
importance there.

But after all, we doubt that any individual
discovered the game or that any spot can claim
the honor of it's birthplace Some say Hoboken
Graded it while others Philadelphia, while some
trace it to the old English game of "Bounders."
Our guess is that it had to come, like the move

Forward and Not Backward

In his sneech before the Indiana Democratic
rvb,b IN Indiananolis Monday night, Senator Rob-
ert L. Owen of Oklahoma, loyal advocate OF tne
Wilson administration, declared the issue Oh Ihe
political world to lie between the Democratic
party and the Progressive party. 10 MS mno'
the Republican party, so long as 1t adheres 10 us
present reactionary tendencies, IS nopelessly uli
fitted for national leadership.
"Don't forget. nv fellow Democrats he said,
there is danger to the Democracy in this Pro-
gressive party They standing for popular
Democratic principles; | am talking Jefferson
ian Democracy to you now.
Jeffersonian Democracy! And is it to that
that Senator Owen and Wilson Democrats are
pinning their faith?
So far as the temper and personality of man
is concerned jefferson has always been worthy
of emulation and always will be: but there are
few guides more completely untitled for such an
age as this as Thomas Jefferson.
He believed in a government of the people,
sure enough, but of the people in the various
states and not of the people of the nation. His
idea was that this country is a confederation OF
separate states tied loosely together by tenuous
national bond.
According to this doctrine, and it is cardi-
nal principle of the party as Senator Owen him.
self declares, each state must regulate its own
railways. corporations and labor conditions.
But how impossible thing that is with cor
porations such as our railways which are char
tered by one state, but do business in dozen!
And how impossible according to that method to
regulate the working conditions of men whose
daily tasks carry them back and forth among
many states.
Senator Owen would have us believe that the
policies of the Republican party were fitted only
to time that is dead. But is that not just
true of his own Democracy? His words show
that his Democratic party was planned and
framed for an agricultural era, which is much
ancient history as the fall of Thebes.
Senator Owen said the difference between
jefferson and Hamilton was that jefferson
trusted the people while Hamilton had no conf
dence in them He forgot to mention that Jeffer
son fought the national constitution which prob
ably would not have been possible had it not been
for Hamitons efforts.
When Senator Cummins gave a Republican
speech in Chicago, he asked his hearers to go
back to stand at the side of Lincoln. Senator
Owen asks the people to go back to jefferson.
Both of these of mighty memory and
stand among the pre-emnent few in our history.
But they, so far as the political conditions are
concerned, are just where they belong--lN
HISTORY.
Since their day, we have passed through a
profound economic and social revolution and they
themselves would be the first to cry, were they
living now
Forward! New times exact new duties The
past cannot meet our needs. We must depend
on the living and not the dead to achieve our
political salvation. Our hopes lie in progress and
not in retrogression.'
