The modern city apartment home is

1t is estimated that in New York

regardless of their present or prior

who believe alike should vote alike, is
an indication that the men who have

Men and women in Montana who
desire that the state grow and pro-

the Treasure State that we are SO
thankful when the spring rains come.
Just now the crops of the state are
in an ideal condition. A wet fall left
considerable moisture in the soil far
more so than there was a year ago.
The snow Of the winter did not blow
off as freely as usual and the spring
melting was slow, allowing a great
deal of the moisture to sink into the
soil. At planting time there was
enough of this moisture to terminate
and sprout the grain. And now comes
the rains, not in isolated localities but
all over the state, and gives the crops
added impetus towards their fall har-
vest of gold.
And sc when the clouds gather and
the myriads of tiny drops spatter the
sidewalks and muddy up the roads, let
us not think or ourselves in a city
where moisture is a plenty, but of the
hundreds of homesteaders to whom the
rain means the elimination of the sea-
sons ambition; good times and pros
perity for all.-Great Falls Tribune.

THE HOMES WE LIVE IN

The last United States census shows
that out of a total Of 2O,255,555 homes
9,083,711 were owned and 10,S97,S 1876
were rented. Almost 5000, 900 homes
were owned, free from all cucumber
ance, while 1881 ,695 were under mort
gage.
1t has been argued that mortgages
on homes are not evidence of poverty
but just the reverse, because before a
mortgage can be created and placed
a certain amount of saved up cash has
been paid on the mortgaged property.
Of the 6,123,610 farm homes, g.

MILLION DOLLAR RAINS

Farming in Montana is mainly a
question of two things, rainfall and
length of season. We have a soil Sec
ond to non on earth, we have grow
ing weather in the summer time and
a climate which makes for all that is
best in small grain raising-provided
we have time to mature the crops and
sufficient moisture to grow them.
Both of these all important questions
are somewhat under the control of
man, if he cares to take the trouble
to do it. Our seasons are of ample
length to grow almost any crops if we
but take advantage of them. Take fall
blowing for instance, that will save
the farmer at least two weeks, will
enable him to plant his sprng grains
half a month earlier if he but prac-
tees it, yet all our farmers do not do
it.
Moisture is ven more fully under
u control. The wohle scheme of dry
farming is based upon the conservation
of the rainfall, if not enough moisture
falls to grow a crop in a single sea-
son, then the rains of two summers
are used to grow the crop of one. We
do this by storing the water in the
soil, by holding it there until it is used
by the crop. There are various
schemes for doing this which we can
not take the space to explain here,
fall blowing. summer fallow, the al
ternating of cultivated crops with
grain; all these things conserve the
moisture. reduce the evaporation
from the soil which constantly goes
on and enable good crops to grow by
making available for their use all of
the moisture which falls.
Many farmers are careless, inclined
to trust to luck, to gamble on the rain
fall. Indeed it is often said that the
dry farmer is the greatest gambler on
earth. They do not conserve the mois-
ture as they should or could, and con-
sequently when a dry season comes,
similar to last summer, their crops
suffer. These men, these careless
farmers who will risk their all on a
gamble with the elements form no
small part of the agricultural popula-
ton of Montana and it is for their
sake, for the sake of prosperity of

Recital by Miss McCOrmick

Before a large and appreciative au-
dience, Miss Marie Mccormick of St.
Paul, gave a song recital at the Or
pheum Theatre Wednesday evening.
The recital was under the auspices
and for the benefit of the Altar So
ciety of the Catholic church and a
neat sum was realized from the pro-
ceeds.
Every number on the program de-
lighted the hundreds of music lovers
who filled the theatre, thoroughly ap-
preciating the true artists ability of
Miss Mccormick. Mrs. Maurice Reul-
err of this city, one Of the most accom-
plished. pianists in this part of the
state, accompanied Miss Mccormick

that we are attempting to farm too
much land for the labor available. But
even though it is impossible to secure
more help at reasonable wages, the
land would yield a much larger reven-
ue If greater acreage were in corn, and
a part of the land now devoted to
small grains, kept in pasture. Corn,
forage crops and pastures, and more
and better livestock will do for North
Dakota what has been done in other
western states during recent years.
During the thirty years previous to
1910, the average yield of wheat per
acre for Kansas and Nebraska togeth-
er was only 9 per cent greater than
for the states of North and South
Dakota. This small difference might
be attributed to the fact that more
winter wheat is grown in those states,
and this ordinarily yields a little heav-
Ter than spring wheat, other conditions
being equal. During the past five
years, the average yield of wheat in
Kansas and Nebraska has been 81
per cent greater than in North and
South Dakota. In other words, they
have been growing as many bushels
of wheat in Kansas and Nebraska on
one-third less land. The rainfall in
the Dakotas is just as great and the
soil, originally, as productive. The
principal reason why wheat in the
Dakotas has decreased in yield per
acre, is the fact that much less atten-
ton has been paid to diversified farm
ing and live stock in these states. Kan
sas and Nebraska are two of the three
leading states in the Union in the pro-
duction of alfalfa and both are among
the six leading corn and livestock
states in the Union. A recent state
ment shows that the bank deposits of
North Dakota total 500. 529 ,OOO.; South
Dakota SOS, O09 ,0O0.; Nebraska $221,-
697 ,0OO.; and Kansas 1928, 1929 ,OOO."
The data given above, Prof. Smith
stated car be applied to Montana and
should be a guiding influence for the
banker in this state to consider, show
ing as it does how great the increase
has been in bank deposits in Kansas
and Nebraska during the past five
years. This increase is attributed to
a large extent to the results obtained
by diversified farming which includes
live stock raising on every farm.
Iowa farms, where live stock was a
part of the products, show high aver
age returns, exceeding by 80 per cent
for corn and 43 per cent for hay
that was produced upon farms where
the crop was largely sold direct for
cash.
Many other important statistics
were quoted. taken from records and
surveys made by the u. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture and from various
State Departments. All sustained the
contention advanced that live stock
on the farm is one of the surest roads
for the farmer to travel to success

CATION from Go.umDia at the Hotel
Imperial on Friday night, according to
an announcement made yesterday by
Ralph Morgan, secretary of the league.
The dispute which for a while threat
ered 20 separate the league and Colum-

of an eligibility code by the association
which barred graduate students, fresh
men and men who had played for three
years from participation IN league
games.
Although the rule was not aimed d.
rectly at any one. it had the effect of
barring W. W. Dryer, who was elected
captain of the Columbia team for this
year, and Z. &. Calder, a star forward.
The Columbia basketball authorities
threatened to sccede. but the athletic
committee on Morningside Heights re-
fused to back them in the project and

according to Morgan. the league voted
70 defer enforcement OF the new rules
until next year in so far as they AFFECT
