products is constant scource OF
wonderment, not only to the stranger,
but to those who know Montana as
we'll.
Not alone are the farm products
wonderful. In the livestock barns
are to be found horses, cattle sheep
and hogs that have been winners IN
the greatest expositions of the coun-
try. From adjoining states breeders
ship their herds to compete with
Montana s best and it is proud man
that takes home a majority Of the
ribbons in any class Of live stock.
Last year the cattle show was the
sensation of the fair, some Of the best
beef and dairy animals in the west be-
ing exhibited and not far behind it
ranked the other live stock depart
ments. This wear the show will be
larger and better than ever, for many
new breeders have entered the field
in the last twelve months.
In all other lines of endeavor the
Montana State Fair excells, it is an
institution distinctly worth while and
worthy of the support of every man,
woman and child in the state.

This fall the Montana State Fair
invites patronage from September 25
to 80 inclusive. From all indications
the 1916 fair will be the best that has
ever been staged in Helena. both in
size and quality of exhibits.
The Montana State Fair is an in
stitution peculiar to our own state.
Other states have their fairs, some Of
them far larger and more pretentious
than our own. but in Montana the
fair seems to be of and to belong to
all the people. 1t marks the gather
ing of the clans, for everyone goes to
the state fair. From all corners of
the state the farmers come, some of
them sending exhibits. others bring
ing their families to view the Won
ders of the Treasure State. And it
is fair well worth while. Take for
instance the county collective exhib-
its. Their like is not to be found in
any state fair in the union. Won

This past spring Montana was con-
fronted with an unusual condition.
The extremely heavy crops of 1915
delayed threshing so long that but lit
tie of the land was fall plowed and
scant preparation had anywhere been
made for putting in the spring crop.
This condition, combined with an un-
usually late spring made the crops
throughout the state from one to three
weeks late. While copious spring
rains furnished ample moisture for
seed termination, the warm growing
weather did not come until late and
for some time it was doubtful if a
crop would mature in some parts Of
the state. However, the warm
weather Of early summer made up
most Of this deficiency and over most
Of the state the crops are normal or
above. Considering that in North
Dakota and in some sections of South
Dakota the wheat crop is almost a
total failure, due to late summer
drought, Montana can be considered
unusually fortunate in having the
crop that is now being harvested.
As is natural in a state with so wide
range Of altitude and climatic con-
ditions, the crop can hardly be call
ed uniform over all the state. Along
the high line, as the northern tier of
counties bounding Canada is common
ly called, the crops are unusual. More
than an average rainfall, coming dur
ing the growing season when it was
most needed, has brought the crops
on apace and everywhere the fields
are thick with shocks of top-heavy
bundles. Farther south, in the fam
Gus Judith Basin and other we'll
known sections, the rainfall was be-
low normal in many instances and ma
turally the dry land crops suffered.
At the Moccasin Experiment Station
there was only seven inches of rain
fall during the growing season, which
is unusually scanty for that locality,
yet despite this fact good crops are
the rule throughout the basin. These,
however, are not up to the standard
set by the 1915 season. In the east
ern part of the state most of the
crops are about normal, with occa-
sional extra heavy yields. In the
higher valleys of the state, like the
Gallatin, where irrigation is the rule.
the harvest is just beginning and the
total Of the crop cannot be estimat-

GALLATIN CROP NORMAL
WITH SOME BIG YIELDS

Bozeman.-Despite the fact that
many pessimistic reports have come
from the Gallatin valley about crop
failures, the wheat yield will be norm
al, according to George Walrath of
Bozeman. "The trouble with us Gal
latin farmers is we have been used
to such good crops that we can't en-
dure a normal one,'' said Mr.. Wal
rath. An exceedingly heavy yield of
irrigated spring crops is promised the
valley agriculturalist, and this will
offset much of the loss from adverse
weather conditions.
Several farmers in the Gallatin
will report heavy yields. Mr.. Wal
rath stated. Averages from AZ to 5e
bushels of grain to the acre have
been reported thus far. The Gallatin
farmers are disposing of their wheat
as soon as possible, believing that
the period Of high prices is not going
to continue long.
"The present high prices of grains
will bring heavy return to the Gal
latin, and I think that the entire val
ley will reap as much as it did last
season when prices weren't so high, .
Mr.. Walrath said.

NEW RAILROAD WILL
TAP A RICH SECTION
Line Is Projected From Belle Fourche,
South Dakota to Mi es City, Mont.

Miles City.-A railroad from Belle
Fourche, S. D., to Miles City, to be
financed entirely by private parties,
is to be started this year from Belle
Fourche, and it is expected that so
miles will be completed before snow
falls.
Miles City and Belle Fourche men
are interested in the project. R. F.
Furnish Of Miles City is vice presi-
dent and general manager of the new
road.
The road will pass through one OF
the most fertile sections of undevelop-
ed country left in the United States,
and one in which many homesteaders
have taken up land in the last five or
six years.
It will pass through the territory
embraced in the Little Missouri irri-
CATION project, and near the northern
terminus will tap the oil and gas fields
near Baker.
1t is expected that work out OF
Belle Fourche will be started within
Is days.

ed for some weeks as yet, as all the
grain has not matured. If the next
few weeks are favorable the crops in
these valleys will be but slightly be-
low normal. In the western part of
the state the yields reported have
been uniformly good, indicating an
average season.
The total wheat production of
Montana for 1916 will be greatly be-
low that Of the previous year. This
is due, partly to the fact that last
seasons late harvest left little time
for planting winter wheat and the
large acreage put in last year left but
small amount Of available land, and
partly to the fact that last winter a
great deal of winter wheat was killed
by the severe weather. Where last
year the state produced 1S,225,OO0
bushels Of winter wheat the estimate
for the current season is but 10,32O,-
600 bushels. In spring wheat there is
but little difference in the produc-
ton of the two seasons, both being in
the neighborhood of 15,000,000 bush
els. Oats also show slight decrease
for 1916, the total yield dropping
from 81, 100000 bushels to 27,161, 900
bushels. The output of barley is ap-
proximately the same, in the neigh
borhood of 100000 bushels, while
corn gained bit as was to be ex-
pected from the increased acreage
and the yield rose from 1,S94,OO0
bushels to 100000 bushels. The pro-
duction of flaxseed is about the same
as that of corn and shows an equal
gain between the two years.
Taken altogether the present year
has indeed been prosperous one, ec-
pecially when one refers to other
states for means of comparison
From the middle western states one
hears tales Of soft corn, the northern
states tell Of burnt wheat fields and
pastures, the coast states too COM
plain Of lack of rainfall. In the midst
of this Montana raised crop that is
very close to normal, in a year when
other states report failures.
The present fall has so far been
ideal for fall farm operations and re-
ports indicate that the winter wheat
acreage will be larger than a year
ago and planted on better prepared
seed beds. AS the chances for an
other winter as severe as last year are
slight, everything augurs we'll for an
other bumper crop in 1917.

WASTED MACHINERY
CAUSES HUGE LOSS
Montana Farmers Are Among the Worst
Offenders in Neglecting Implements.

One Of the greatest annual losses
to American farmers comes from the
tremendous waste of farm machinery.
The lack Of care given the various
machines and tillage implements on
the farm is one of the most glaring
leaks in general farm business. Mon
tana is no exception to the rule in
this case, indeed the farmers of the
Treasure State are among the most
fragrant offenders. Part Of this Of
course comes from the fact that due
to the newness of many homesteads,
there has been neither the time nor
money to build suitable shelters for
farm machinery, but in most cases
the blame can be laid directly to the
door of carelessness. It costs but lit
tie to build shed that will house
most farm machinery. If nothing
better can be had a straw shed will
serve the purpose admirably, for it
will keep the machinery dry, and that
is the main requisite Of any machine
shed.
It is a common sight to see now
ing machines, plows, binders, disks,
wagons, in fact every type of farm
machine left out entirely at the mercy
Of the elements. Naturally the rust
works on the bright parts of the ma
chine, they wear out and have to be
replaced, generally at time when
they are needed most.
If it is not possible to put the ma
chinery under cover, farmers will find
it economical to paint their machines
after they are through with them for
the season. The paint protects the
metal and if the brighter parts, such
as cog wheels, plow shares and the
like, are given thorough coating of
axle grease, the machines will come
through the winter in fairly good
shape, deal better than if they are
left entirely exposed. The canvasses
on the binders should always be re-
moved and stored in a place where
they will be safe from the inroads of
mice and rats, else another harvest
season will find them ruined.
1t is a good idea to go over the
machinery at the end Of the season,
make list Of all broken parts and
order these at once. The winter
months bring with them many days
which can be devoted to getting the
machinery into first class shape for
the coming season. Time saved at
this season Of the year means that
the next years crop will get in the
ground, or cut or harvested just that
much sooner and time is one of the
deciding factors in Montana farm
ing.

MUST REGISTER If
YOU WANT TO VOTE

All who voted at the general
election in 1914 and have not
changed their address since that
time will not need to register
again in order to vote at the cleo
tion in November. However, if
there is any doubt about the ad-
dress it would be we'll to visit the
office of the county clerk and re-
corder and see if it is correctly
registered.
The women who have register
ed since the equal suffrage law
went into effect will not have to
register again unless they have
changed their address.
A citizen who has changed his
address since registration, I'M
less his new residence is in the
same ward and precinct where he
formerly lived must have his ad-
dress changed on the register in
order to vote. In doing so he
should simply notify the clerk
that the address is to be changed
and it will save him much trouble.
Registration for the general
election will close October 7 at 5

NOW IS THE TIME
TO GET TRAPS OUT
But! !No Fur Bearing Animals Should Be
Taken Before October Is.

With the first few cool days in Oc-
tober, the men and boys on the farm
begin to plan for that greatest of all
fall and winter sport, the hunting and
trapping Of fur-bearing animals.
Guns must be carefully cleaned and
oiled and the many traps must be
gone over so that everything may be
in readiness when the calendar shows
the beginning Of the game laws open
season. Some states do not protect
their game and fur bearing animals
and in these, they may be hunted and
trapped at any time but it is short
sighted sportsman, indeed, who will
take an animal before it's coat of fur
becomes good.
It is really crime to set out trap
before October Is, and in most Sec
tions it is best to wait until November
first. The big fur houses report that
trappers and hunters are realizing
more and more, the many advantages
of waiting until the furs become
prime and are doubling their profits
by so doing. Early caught skins are
worth very little, whereas the same
skins taken after they become prime
will command excellent prices.
Trapping is also extremely profit
able and the farmer who has had an
"off" season with his crops will find
the skins of the fur-bearers produc-
ing source Of revenue that will help
materially toward the winters ex-
pense. Fur prices are on high basis
and every man or boy who is willing
to combine work with pleasure can
make many extra dollars this winter
by trapping the mink, skunk, muskrat
and other animals.
Preparedness at this season of the
year is the professional trapper' $
motto and the amateur will do we'll
to follow his example. Time spent
now in getting traps in shape an in
replacing any that are broken will be
paid for many times over when the
active trapping season begins.
The trapper who has to buy traps,
bats and other trapping supplies
should be sure and get the best that
can be had for while the first cost
may seem higher, the best goods are
much cheaper in the end.
Using cheap trapping equipment to
save money is like stopping watch
to save time.

In addition to the 5000 Mrs. Wilson bequeathed her residence and all household goods in this city to the church to be used as parsonage. It is estimated that the value of Mrs. Wilson's residence, together with all the contents, will total at least $15,- 900 to be received by the church.
 Mrs. Wilson was the wife of the late J. w.

That he has sold the site acquired by the United States government on which to erect a postoffice building, for the taxes of 1915, is rather amusing error which has just been dis covered by Sheriff w. w.

 Of course the lots are exempt from taxation, but having been privately owned when the preceding real estate assessment was made, they were put on the assessment books again.
