THE WORLDS WHEAT SUPPLY,

The idea that the European war
has caused an increased consump-
ton of wheat is not correct, but the
struggle abroad does necessarily
cause shortage in the commercial
supply. From the Marine in France
to the Dneister and from the Baltic
to the Adriatic the acreage in wheat
must be greatly reduced, and unless
the Dardinelles shall be forced very
little wheat can be exported from
Russia, our chief rival in supplying
countries that do not raise enough
grain for themselves; and what has
become of the Danubian wheat the
grain statisticans do not know.
1t may have reached Germany and
Austria, but if not, it remains un-
marketed. The war, therefore,
creates an exceptional demand for
wheat from countries that are in
position to supply it.
To meet the need thus created
this country, Argentina and India
have unusually large supplies, which
are all the more necessary because
the recent crop in Australia was
a very scanty one and the exports
are hardly more than normal. Our
own crop last year was 12S,U00,0O0
bushels greater than the crop of
1913, which was the largest we

he said, land what we have had did
but small amount of damage. Our
farmers down there have learned
the value of hail insurance, and
there are few but carry it. Our Sec
ton OF Montana has never had a
better year than this. We will have
an immense production of rye, and
it sells readily for from IS to 90
cents there, for shipment east
There has been good European
demand for it, and in addition there
is a good sale for the seed in the
sowing season. Spring wheat is the
biggest cereal crop grown in our
section, and we have in a big in
acreage. AS to the alfalfa crop, it
is immense.
Hot and Dry in Southwest.
During the winter, spring and un-
til the middle of last month Senator
Kinney has been absent from Mon
tana in the east, the middle west
and the southwest on business. "No-
where have been, and my BUSH
ness has brought me into contact
with the agricultural and stock
growing interests, is the outlook so
good as in Montana" he said. "In
the middle west owing to the cold
and backward season, the crop will
be very, very short-in some Sec
tions a failure. The same is true
of Minnesota. In the wheat grow
ing sections the rains have been so
continuous that the wheat has fall
en- and it will not be possible to
thresh great deal of it. Coming
up into the northwest, the condi-
tions have been just the reverse of
what they have been in Montana.
I left Phoenix, Ariz., July Is, and
the paper that day said that all rec
ords for high temperatures and a
long season of dry weather had
been broken. For 80 consecutive
days at Phoenix the thermometer
never registered less than 100
above and from that to 118. They
had good rains in that section in
the winter, and the result was good
range and cattle are in good con-
dition. That is true also of New
Mexico. But for general all-round
good conditions, Montana leads
every state 1 have visited save
North Dakota, and it has nothing
on u.s."

BUYING MONTANA LAND.

near Geyser in Cascade county. The

real estate. Besides the tract above
mentioned they are the owners of
considerable land in the Judith basin
The purchase price of the land was
evidently pretty high. 1t is the in
tention of the gentlemen to dispose
of the land to those wanting small
tracts for farming purposes.

PURE WATER FOR CHINOOK.

Chinook is to have liberation
plant to purify the flow of water
from Milk River. This plant will
include the latest and best machin-
cry and appliances for water puri-
fication and will be an exact dupli-
cation of the alteration plant at
Fargo, N. D., except that it will be
somewhat smaller. Two of the
Chinook aldermen recently visited
the plants at Williston, Minot and
Fargo and after due deliberation
decided to adopt the Fargo plan
This will mean a special election to
secure bonds to install the system,
but the people of Chinook are
strong for pure water supply and
will give unanimous vote for the
bonds.

Adds Much to Montana's Wealth.

AUS Much to MOntana's Wealth.
Wnen the 100000 acres of Mon
tana to he irrigated by this project
are brought under the ditch it is
estimated the agricultural yield of
Montana will be increased by sever
al million dollars. This strip Of
land TO be irrigated lies about two
hundred miles east of GLACIER Nat
ional Park the source of the water
supply. AS the water is diverted
through canal thirty-two miles
long from the source of supply to
the north branch of the Milk river
and thence following the winding
river the point of distribution,
the distance is something over 500
miles.
Agricultural experts predict this
irrigated strip will become the ban
ner alfalfa section of the United
States and subsequently one of the
best dairying districts in the
country.-Great Falls Tribune.

HOW TO FEEL BULLY.

Work, and keep on working, and
make every act count for something
higher and better. 1t leaves bully
feel.
Save your money, and keep on
saving, and accommodating, until
you have enough of this world s
goods to see you comfortably
through life. That, too, is some
bully feel.
Be kind, and gentle, and consid-
crate of the members of your fami-
ly. The knowledge that you are
making them happy will cause you
to feel even butler than bully.
Give the little ones a smile and a
pat when you meet them, and their
expressions of delight will be the
quintessence of bully to you.
Be human in your handling of
dumb brutes, for though they may
not talk with the tongue, their eyes
will speak the gratitude they feel.
And again you will experience that
bully feel.
Speak gently to your neighbor,
and forgive his faults, that he, too,
may join you in the bully feel.
Spread the gospel of loyalty to
home and home people upon all oc-
casions and at all places. and the
satisfaction of knowing it's a deed
we'll done will add spice to your
bully feel.
Lift up the fallen and assist them
to tread the path of better life,
and your deed of human kindness
will glorify your bully feel.
Bully" is mighty good way to
feel, and it is quite within the reach
of us all, for when right mind and
a clean will precede deed that
deed will be one of the bulliest OF
all.

UNCLE SANS NEW g
IRRIGATION PROJECT.

Canada is to profit materially as
the result of the construction of the
mammoth Milk River irrigation
project by Uncle Sam, but it will
only be crumb from the great
loaf of plenty" which is to Mon
tana's lot when the wonderful 3d.
J00,O 600 waterway is completed.
Money for the rest of the work on
the project which has been in in
ternatiOnal dispute for several
years now is assured as the result
of the recent visit to the project by
the congressional committee on ap-
preparations.
Members of the committee who
ended their tour of reclamation pro-
jects of the United States with an
inspection trip over this greatest of
Uncle Sans irrigation projects,
were amazed by the progress made
on the various units of the Milk
river work. They said there no
longer is any doubt that the new
Green Ribbon Belt" of Montana
will "spring upon the map" not lat
er than he summer of 1916. Which
means that water will be ready for
distribution over the project at that
time.
This "Green Ribbon Belt'' re-
ferred to will consist of the 100000
acres of land that are to be irrigated
by this project-comprising strip
of land 1879 miles long-extending
from Chinook to Glasgow, Montana
and covering an area ranging from
a quarter to about three miles wide,
making the longest irrigated strip
in the country.
Water Taken From Glacier Park.
Another striking feature of the
Milk River project is that the water
for this gigantic engineering feat
will be taken from near the roof top
of the Rockies, in the Glacier Nat
ional park, four lakes, McDermott,
the two Sherburnes and lower St..
Mary's furnishing an everlasting
supply. These lakes form the
greatest natural reservoirs ever
used for irrigation storage purposes
since they are fed continuously by
melting snow and glaciers from the
main Rocky mountain range. The
fertility of the glacier water, so
richly laden with salt, is astonish-
ing even to government experts
who have known more or less about
the productivity of glacier waters
carrying an abundance of organic
matter.
With this endless water supply
securely damned and held at will for
the use of the tillers of the rich
Montana SOIL the engineers will
hive nearly finished their project,
for already the work of syphoning,
ditching and 1uming a way for the
water over the hills of the Hudson
Bay divide and into the north
branch of the Milk river has been
pretty we'll done. The fact that
the water flows through Canada for
many miles before returning into
Montana in the Milk river makes
the project an international one.
The matter of treaty rights has
been up for contention several
years in connection with the pro-
posed waterway. A commission
from Canada recently met a COM
mission representing the United
States in the matter and the decis-
ion as to the rights of each country
in the Milk river irrigation project
probably will be announced before
long.

could be made into a lovely picnic

had ever gathered, and the inability
of Russia to export has enabled us
to market our huge surplus at high
prices. The crop which is now be-
ing gathered bids fair to be even
larger than last year, and is likely
to exceed 1,O0O,O0O,OOO bushels.
Thus, we shall continue to be able
to export very heavily to countries
that can not get wheat as usual
from Russia and the Balkan coun-
tries.-Montana Daily Record

Ing, his high mindedness his education and clean
moral record, could have done such a fiendish
piece CT work.
81 have talked with Leo Frank many times
since he was convicted and sentenced to death
and | always found him the same. He would
meet you with a firm shake of the hand and
looked you straight in the eye. He did not act or
Io0E like man who had something to conceal,
and | believed his story.
Most men, who have gone through all that
Frank has, would have welcomed death, but not
he. He wanted to live with the hope that some
day the truth would out. He did not care
for himself, but he wanted to wipe away the
stain from his familys name which was placed
there when he found guilty of the murder.
Small in body, and of fragile stature, Frank
in most cases, would have attracted to himself
sympathy instead of hatred But the laboring
class against him from the very beginning
and the more publicity given the case, the strong
er the hatred grew. And the day Frank was
saved from the galloWs he marked man.
We all expected him to be shot not attacked in
the manner he was.
81 do not believe anyone instgated his as
sassin to his work. Whenever Franks name
was mentioned, murder beat in the hearts
of hundreds Of men, and it is not to be expected,
with the feeling against him it is, that it should
be barred from behind the prison doors.'
