mers are securing them. So Mon
| tana is not yet at its best in pro
'dnction. Among the first class
there are some who have seen that
their present holdings are better
than anything they can get else
where and are staying with it and
making good farmers. The real
farmers and these ambitions ones
in the making, are the very best
kind of moral risks for loans, as
they are making good.
| 1t is not an uncommon sight in
eastern Montana to see two fields
side by side, where every condition
is identical, except the man behind
the plow, where one field will pro,
duce 40 bushels Of wheat per acre.
and the other only 10 or II.
For the good OF the state and
for those who are loaning i'm this
field, we are securing many Of the
best farmers OF the middle west.
and IL is only a question of time
till all OF the farming lands of Mon
tana will be farmed by those who
know how.
Another important factor that
enters into production of the newer
lands Of eastern Montana for future
years is that Of rainfall. We have
plenty OF rain for all crops, but
most Of it comes during the grow.
ing season, April, May anu .Ia:,e.
and is taken up by the growing
crops. The torrential rains that
are not uncommon to most other
farming sections do not prevail
here, and the soil is not leached of
it's plant food elements year by
year ..#.
"Geologically this is a newer
country than the states cast OF us
and the soil is strong in all Gle
ments Of plant production, and it
will be many years before there
will be an appreciable diminution
in the producing value of The land.
There are lands in eastern Wash
ingLon, similar to those Of eastern
! Montana, that are producing more
today than they did 40 years ago
and during all this time they have
been continuously cropped. Tt is
q well known fact that farm III
this section that has been Tarmed
for a number of years will sell for
more than a newer one, all other
conditions being the same.
Our conclusion, then, is that
one who loans in this region is loan
ing OH a basis Of continually i'll
creasing value of tho land ON which
he loans Not because Of any land
boom, but because the land is act
ually getting better with use and
producing more as it is farmed
more. This, plus a better class Of
| farmers and country old enough
to be proved, makes eastern Mon
tana most desirable farm loan
field.

Defeat the Speedy Stanford
Team in a Close and Hotly
Contested Game

In one Of the fastest basket ball
games ever played here, the locals
defeated the fast Stanford team by
a score Of 81 to IL. This is the first
defeat for the Stanford boys for
two years. They have met all the
fast teams in Central Montana in
cluding Great Falls and LeWistown
and up to last Friday night had
nothing but string Of victories to
mark their trail.
The game was fast from start TO
finish and while several fouls were
made by both teams, they were
generally due to over-anxiousness
on the part of the players. Stan
ford started with a rush and had
scored five points before the locals
located the basket. Harlowton
played in hard luck in the early
part Of the game. They had sever
al easy chances but the ball refused
to drop through the net, generally
running around on top and drop.
ping outside. The score at the enc
of the first half was il to 8 in favor
Of the locals. In the second half
the HarloWton team played rings
around the visitors scoring 10 points
to 8. the final score being 21 to IL.
For the HarloWton team all the
boys played good, clean, fast ball.
1t would be unfair to mention any
one Of the team as being the star
player.
r. IN. Jones was the official OF the
game and gave general satisfaction.
He showed that he was thoroughly

game.
