GREATEST SMALL GRAIN CROP
Big winter wheat yield and bumper
crop of oats predicted by
Montana Farmers.

Miles .City.-The eastern part of
Montana is harvesting one of the
greatest small grain crops in its his
tory. This is true of the dry land
crop as well as on irrigated lands.
Few if any Of the irrigated land far
mers watered any field except alfalfa.
The big winter wheat crop is nearly
cut and the majority of the farmers
predict yields of from 30 to 40 bush
els to the acre. There are many fields
with an acreage of from 1000 to 1900
The dry land farmer and homesteader
will realize more from the wheat crop
this season than they have for sever
al years.
With the wheat crop cut the farm
ers are busy with bumper crop of
oats. The wheat was taken care of
first 80 as to get it on an early mar
ket. The oats will be kept for feeding
purposes. A farmer near Miles City
who began cutting on 1,200 acre
field, declares it will average 80 BUSH
els to the acre. Predictions on the
yields are all the way from so to
100 bushels to the acre. In the val
ley, where the crop is a trifie heavier
than on the plains, the farmers are
figuring on close to 100 bushels to
the acre.

INDIANS TO EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Displays From Numerous Reservations
Are Assured-Federal Government
Supports Movement in Montana.

Missoula.-Fred G. Morgan, of the
Flathead school at Dixon, has been
designated as superintendent of In
dian exhibits for the Montana state
fair, in communication received by
Secretary Snelson of the fair from E.
B. Merritt, assistant commissioner of
Indian affairs at Washington, d. G.
This is proof that the government
is back of the movement to have an
nual Indian exhibits at the state fair.
Previous word has assured the state
fair management that exhibits would
be brought from the Flathead, Black
feet, Crow, Fort Belnap and Fort Peck
Indian reservations.
The Montana superintendent have
been instructed to cooperate with Su-
perintendent Morgan to the greatest
practicable extent with view of max
ing creditable display of Indian prod
ucts at the fair. Montana and Oklaho-
ma will be the only states whose fairs
will have authorized Indian displays.

TUNNEL PAYMENTS HELD UP.
$42, 900 Appropriated to Settle Gains
VIII Not Be Disbursed According
Comptroller.

Billings.-No part Of the $4,000 ap-
propriated by the last congress for
payment of Corbett tunnel claims will
be disbursed by the comptroller OF
the treasury unless the total of such
claims be scaled down to that figure.
This is the gist of letter received in
Billings as the result of efforts to
secure distribution of the appropria-
tion on pro rata basis. The claim
ants reside in Billings, Red Lodge and
other Montana cities, and their bills
are work done and supplies fur
nished contractors during the build
ing of the tunnel on the Shoshone
project in Wyoming.
The claims, have been hanging fire
for several years and at the last ses-
sion of congress the Montana delega-
tion secured the passage OF a bill ap-
propriating $4,000 for their payment.
The total claimed is 45,556.95. The
pro rata plan was indorsed by the
auditor of the treasury department,
but when it was presented to the
comptroller he demurred declaring it
could not legally be done. All the
claims have been indorsed by Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane.

Planting Sugar Cane.

Sugar cane is planted, not sown. A
small piece of the cane, long enough
to include two or three of the rings,
or nodes, is laid lengthwise, or stuck
in slanting direction, along fur
row which runs the length OF the
field. In some sections the primitive
fashion of planting In holes is still en-
ployed. When the trench is planted
the pieces Of cane are lightly covered
with earth. In few weeks they show
growth above the ground, the germ
buds at the rings having begun to
shoot out In the form of young cane,
the ring having at the same time
thrown out rootlets into the soil. The
parallel trenches are made far enough
apart, say at least three feet, to en-
able the workers, when the wide
spreading canes are getting ripe, to
go between the rows and remove the
dying leaves which burden the ripen-
ing cane, thereby enabling the naked
cane to mature faster.

STATE SELLS $1,000 ACRES
Figures for First Seven Months Dou-
BILE Sales During last Year
Prices Advance.

Helena.-In the seven months of
the present year the state land office
has sold at an advanced figure, more
than twice as much land as was pur-
chased during the entire IL months
Of 1914.
At the close of business, July 81,
the record for 1915 showed that near
ly $1,000 acres had been sold-50,-
991 to be exact-as against 23,133.6
for 1914.
Undoubtedly the good prices for
farm products during the past two
years have been a factor in the re-
newed interest in western farm lands,
together with good prices for hay and
livestock and wool, the public, both
from the east and residents of Mont
ana have taken an interest in the op-
portunities for acquiring an addition
al amount of farm land.

HIGHWAY
IMPROVEMENT
1,ooo-MILE ROAD PROPOSED
Canada to Build Route Similar to
Lincoln Highway-To Extend
From Winnipeg to Calgary.

CeDtral-western Canada will have q
federal highway much after the plan
of the Lincoln highway proposed
across the United States If the prof.
ect being urged by the board of con-
troll of Winnipeg is carried out. This
project contemplates the construction
of concrete highway from Winnipeg
to Calgary, to go through the more
thickly settled territory tapped.by the
Canadian Pacific railway.
The thousand miles of highway
through the provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and halfway into Al
berta will be financed by the munich
palities by which the roadway would
be traversed. Special appropriations
also will he sought from the provincial
governments. The project has been
received with enthusiasm in number
of the larger cities along the proposed
route.
It has been pointed out by the pro-
moters of the highway through the
prairie provinces that its construction
would enhance the value of the farm
lands for several miles on both sides
of the concrete roadway.

RECLAIM MONTANA LANDS.
Government Officials Raise Crops on
Supposed Worthless Ground at
Fort keough Reservation.

Butte-One of the revelations of
farming possibilities in Montana is
made at the Fort Keough reservation
this year, where 1900 acres of oats
is fourishing now on land that could
not be given away to any one couple
of years ago, it is told by w. ]. Kelley.
"The land surrounding the Fort
Keough reservation Mr.. Kelley says.
Lying close to Miles City, was covered
with sage brush and apparently held
no attractions for settlers. 1t was
thought that it would be impossible to
grow any grain crops on the land. The
government officials this year decided
to make an effort. The y ploughed the
land from 12 to ID inches deep, and the
result is 1900 acres of the finest of
oats crops. In addition to the oats,
there are hay, winter rye and corn
crops. The land is not irrigated and
the government officials merely
ploughed the land deep, narrowed it
and trusted to nature, and nature did
the rest
