TO RECOGNIZE FARMERS
Railroads to Place Names of Growers
On Exhibits Obtained From
Montana State Fair.

Helena-As has been the custom on
former years, the railroads have been
given a greater share of the state fair
exhibits for use in their exhibit cars
during the coming year. This year
however, the farmers of Montana will
get more recognition than heretofore,
as arrangements have been made with
the railway companies to have the
name and address of every grain
grower accompany the sheaves of
grain on exhibit. This will be better
means of drawing to the agricultural
possibilities of Montana, as in former
years it was not known whether the
grains exhibited in the railway exhi-
bit were grown in this state or other
states traversed by the railways.

FIRST OIL GUsHER IN STATE
Well Drilled Near Montana-Wyomino
State Line Has Flow of 1000
Barrels A Day.

Billings.-Montana's first oil gusher
was drilled into, ten and a half miles
west of Frannie, Wyo., on the north
side of the Monana and Wyoming
state line, according to reports receiv-
ed in Billings. The gusher had flow
of 1000 barrels per day, the largest
flow of any we'll in the Montana and
Wyoming oil fields.
The utmost secrecy has surrounded
the drilling in that field, but it is
generally understood that the new
well is controlled by the same people
as the Midwest Oil company, and it is
said that they intend starting a large
number of sets of tools drilling.
The oil sand was penetrated at
depth of about 1,090 feet. The drill
ing has taken place on an anticline,
where there is ledge of some LOO
feet of Colorado shale, over 900 feet
of which has been worn off by ero-
sion, the exact deposit in which oil in
all Wyoming has been found.

BEST FLAX YIELD KNOWN
Cutbank Farmer Believes $50 Bushels
Crop Raised on Ten Acre Plot
Sets New Record.

Cutbank.-A fax yield of $50 bushels
on 10-acre patch on the farm of Ro
bert Paul, north of Cutbank, or yield
of 35 bushels to the acre, is the best
yield known, according to the best in.
formation obtainable. Mr.. Paul, a
conservative Scotchman, has made aft.
davit as to the acreage and the thresh.
er has made affidavit as to the yield.
One of the largest paint manufac-
turing firms in America whose repre-
sentative travels through the fax
belt of the United States and Canada,
says this is the biggest yield recorded.
A yield of 80 bushels inthe Golden Val.
ley of North Dakota, three years ago,
was the best to this time, the manager
says.
The manager of the paint house says
the region east of the Rockies, in
which Cutbank is located, is the best
flax zone in the United States or Can
ada.

Helena.-The individual who gains
admission to the grounds of the 1916
Montana state fair by means of COM
plimentary ticket will be such a rarity
as to be worthy of capture and ex-
hibit. The board of directors Of that
institution met in this city and adopt
ed as it's motto the trite phrase which
says: 1--WE need the money" and
proceeded to consider ways and means
of increasing the revenue and decreas-
ing the expense of the state fair.
The first way that presented itself
was to make everybody, except news
paper people, loosen" at the main
gate to the extent of so cents.

DRY LAND FARMS IN DEMAND
Number of Applications For Beaver
head County Homesteads Said to
Rival First Rush for Land.

Dillon.-As result of the impetus
given to agricultural activities during
the past season by success of both
stockmen and farmers, interest and
enthusiasm has been reawakened
among prospective dry land farmers.
During the past few weeks, scores of
applicants for land have filed upon
homesteads in this county, the major
ity of them having located west of
Barratts, near the road or Ten-Mile
house. 1t is estimated that there are
at least a dozen who have filed on
land in this neighborhood in the past
few weeks. In discussing the matter,
one of the local real estate dealers
stated that the number of new appli-
cants for homesteads in this county
surpasses any previous number ever
recorded since the first rush for land
in Beaverhead county began.
