John and Erick Erickson,
father and son, who own a sec
ton of land about nine miles
northeast of town, have a mon
ster crop of wheat and flax this
year. But both are wisely
making preparations to reduce
the acreage next year. They
will summer fallow about half
their cultivated area. 1--WE are
not going to get excited and
take undue risks next year just
because this year was so good"

this fall for a return from such
wheat is good. The rains that
fell early in September will in
sure termination. But that is
not enough. Should next year
prove markedly dry the crop
thus stubbled in will be greatly
disappointing. Should it prove
wet which is very unlikely, the
returns may be good.
This means, therefore, that
the crop of wheat in 1916 rests
largely on the acreage sown on
summer fallowed and on corn
land. The wheat that will be
stubbled in in 1915, is an uncer-
tain quantity. 1t may be re-
ulunerative, but it may be GER
tain failure Because of this
uncertainty, and because Of the
relatively small amount of
summer fallow land on which
to grow wheat, our suggestion
would be to the farmers to grow
large areas of flax next year
and to grow these on fall plowed
land if possible. Let every
farmer, therefore, turn over
every furrow possible in the
autumn Of 1916 in the hope of
getting a crop next year. If the
blowing is deferred until spring
the chances are just so far re-
duced.

In the DdKOtdS ana montana
and in fact in all areas traversed
by the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroads
where the rainfall is not usually

singularly bountiful during the
past season, and largely for the
reason of the abundance and
timeliness Of the rains. But
what of the crop of 1916? That
should be a matter of as much
Importance to the farmers as
the crop of 1915. Have any
adequate preparations b G e n
made for the growing of that
crop? That is certainly an i'm
portant question. Is it not true
that every available acre has
been devoted to the growing of
wheat that could be devoted to
the growing Of the same? For

and gave them a fine crop, even
from the most careless methods
of farming. This fact is made
abundantly clear by the astound-
ing fact, that in some areas men
who sowed a crop in 1914 and
never reaped the same, are now
bringing suit for a share in the
volunteer crop of 1915 that re-
suited from this sowing.
This much may be said in
safety. On summer fallowed
land the outcome for gooc
crop in 1916 is favorable at the

Hard TO Convince Them

w. A. Miller is back from his
old home in Illinois. Mr. Miller
went down on a business mis-
sion and while there preached
the gospel of the greatness of
the Cut Bank section incess-
entity, but found many who
simply refused to give credence
to his statements. " I had a
sample Of both threShed grain
and grain in straw and showed
both and they simply could not
get away from the fact that the
samples were the best that~they
had ever seen, they could not
understand how land could be
so low in price in a section that
makes such wonderful show

there will be quite a movement
to Montana next spring, from
the central states.
