is PEACE DRAWING NEAR?

While there is pessimism in GER
tain quarters, dispatches from some
European capitals cause many TO
entertain the hope that peace IS
nearer than we suppose. lntetl1g-
once from London is to the effect
that "peace is in the air" as 1t is
generally assumed that Germany IS
t;red Of the war which is costing
her so dearly. :,

Journal, the promptness with whlcn
Germany seizes hold of Nh. VIII

reported food riots in Dresden, IN
which women led the disaffeceea
nonnlace, are due to conditions much
more general than are suspected: III

One thing is certain; Germany has
had enough of war; peace is now hsr

realizes Her success in the Balkans
merely lengthens instead OF shorten

stated the ether day. consequently
there is no balm in Gilead in that
direction for the central powers.
That Germany wants peace IS wen
established; that the allies can ami

comnliance with their demands OF
reparation and restoration, plus an
utilization of military caste, is also
fairly well understood. Germany has
long realized that she cannot defeat

worse off in every way, no matter
what it may cost her enemies.

PLANTING CORN CROP
BETTER THAN FALL0W
CONCLUSION REACHED AFTER
CROP ROTATION TRIALS
OF MONTANA EXPERTS

That the raising Of corn in alterna-
ton with small grain crops is a more
profitable system than an occasional
summer-fallowing is one of the prclim-
mary conclusions reached through a
series of crop rotation experiments
made by the Montana Experiment sta
ton in the Yellowstone and Judith
Basin districts. just how far this has
been established. and how far a STAN
dard practice may be formulated at
this stage Of the experiments, are set
forth in the bulletin, "Crop Rotations
and Cultural Methods at Judith Basin
and lIuntlcy, Mont.," which has just
been completed by Alfred Atkinson,
station agronomist, John M. Stephens,
superintendent Of the Judith Basin
substation, and George w. Morgan,
who was in charge Of the dry land in
v%estigations at Huntley station.

manufacturing state OF the union. This state has both the cereals and
the power and a capacity for increasing the production of the one

business. Their capacity is 10000 barrels daily.
The flour making industry had its beginnings II years ago
IN n Bitter koot valley, but these beginnings were slow and tedious
and 1t was years after the opening of the placer mines before m M
pfecla ma eshare OF the local demand was met by home industry.
The first grIst mill was constructed at St. Narys mission in the

BANKS
EARLY IN 1917
BUT PROSPECTIVE BORROW
ERS MAY ORGANIZE
IMMEDIATELY.
Early Formation of Rural Associa-
tions Will Hasten Systems Work:
Hearings of Locations Will Not Be
Concluded Until December.

From many sections of Montana
comes inquiries as to how soon the
new farm loan banks will be organized
and commence to do business. The
announcement has been made in Wash
lngton that the location of the twelve
banks will not be made until about
the middle of next January.
Since the board returned from its
trip OF holding hearings through the
East, North and West, it has been d.
costing and putting into form the in
formation thus far secured.
In a few days it is expected that the
board will again hit the trail, this
time through the South and certain
portions of the East not included on
its first itinerary.
1t is said that the hearings for the
entire country will not be concluded
until about the middle of December.
After that. it is stated, the mem
bers Of the board will "~incubate' for
about II month, in order to review
in detail all of the testimony adduced
throughout the country.
Can Begin Organizing.
1t is expected that about january Is
the hearings will have been thorough
~ reviewed and digestcd and that the
locations Of the - farm loan centers
can be announced.
In the meantime, it is stated that
the Federal farm loan board wants the
prospective borrowers from the rural
credit banks TO understand thorough
~ that they need not wait until the
loan center banks are located before
beginning the formation Of the farm
loan associations provided for under
the rural credits law.
Anxious for Speed.
The board is now preparing sets Of
blanks that are to be sent broadcast
through the country. giving full in
formation as to the formation of the
loan associations. They are encourage
ing in every way possible the early
organization of these associations.
They say that if this preliminary work
is done by prospective borrowers. they
can make loans just as soon as the
farm loan centers are located.
Need Aid in Spring.
If they wait, however, until after
the board divides the country up into
the proposed twelve districts. there
will be an unnecessary delay in secur-
ing loans. The board is particularly
anxious that the system be put into
operation in advance of the farming
season, on the theory that early spring
is the time for mcn to make their loans
when they can have the advantage Of
the funds to put in crops, or buy o
land, or make needed improvements.

COLORADO FARMERS
GET SO MILLIONS
FOR SUGAR BETS

Coloradc's beet sugar crop,
which is now being harvested,
will bring to the growers $780,
600, 900. The beet sugar indus
try of the Centennial state will
give Montana farmers some idea
of what this state may be doing
in sugar beets in a few years.
Montana's crop of this year is
estimated at $1,000, 900 and is
confined to acreage around Bill
ings. The Billings beet sugar
plant is owned by the same in
terests which control many fac
tories in Colorado. A second
plant is being constructed in the
Bitter Root valley, and expert
ments, conducted under the aus
pices Of these same interests,
have demonstrated that the sug-
ar beet can be grown in many
sections of the state.

Car Shortage Relieved

Butte.-The freight car shortage is

according to advices received at most
Of the local railroad offices. Most
Of the city's population has laid in a
good supply Of coal in response to
the plea made by the state railroad
commission and many cars have there
by been made available for other
shipments. Another reason given for
the relief Of the car shortage is the
falling of the 1916 crop below the
estimate.
