ASSINNIBOINE LANDS WILL
BE THROWN OPEN SOON

President Wilson has signed a pro-
clamation opening to homestead en-
try the agricultural and coal lands in
the Abandoned Fort Assinniboinc Mil
itary Reservation, Montana. This
reservation is situated in Hill county,
and was one Of the largest military
reservations in the United States.
The lands are located near IIavre, and
The Great Northern Railroad runs
across the northern portion of the
reservation. There are !95,7SG,49
acres to be opened, Of which 3d.
6O5.G3 acres were classified as agri-
cultural land, and 2,lSO,S6 acres were
classified as coal lands.
Surface Rights of Coal Lands.
In the case of coal lands, only the
surface rights are TO be disposed Of.
Persons entitled to make homestead
entry for these lands will be allowed
to file their homestead applications
at the district land office at Havrc,
between 9 O'Clock a. m, October IS,
and noon, November Is Where there
arc no conflicts the applications will

ods and systems Of rotation arc taught
and the conservation of soil fertility
is emphasized. AS 4 result instead Of
robbmg the soil as 50 many crops do
sugar beet culture, with a proper sys-
tenn OF rotation, increases its value.
The Importance of better livestock
is ais" emphasized. fhe feeding of
livestock is a very important part of
the beet growers business. He has
the beet tops to dispose of and they
are worth from So to 81 per acre and
then he is able to secure pulp from
the factory, which combined with the
molasses the company sells and with
alfalfa makes the very finest eli feed
both for growth and ~fattening.
At the Billings factory the pulp
and molasses are fed in large stock
yards adjoining the plant. but the
company has decided to equip the new
Mlssoula factory with a pulp press,
which will enable it to press the pulp
for shipment to farmers to be fed on
the farm. 1t is the intention later to
install such equipment at Billings and
In any other factories that MAY be
erected within the state.
History OF the Sugar Beet.
The sugar beet is Of humble origin.
1t might be said that it hasn't even
the advantage of gentle birth. though
it has ace to its credit. After the fall
Of the Roman empire, the returning
barbarians brought 10 Bohemia a
scruby little root, which failed
to attract any particular atten-
ton at that time and is not
mentioned again until 1908. when
Oliver de Serre became convince
ed that it contained sugar. Nearly so
years later Mars@raf. director of the
physical classes in the academy of
sciences in Berlin, obtained real sug-
ar from it, and in 1901 Aschard, Il
pupil Of Marggraf erected at Cuncrn,
Silesia, the first beet sugar factory in
the world. 1t could only produce six
tons of sugar per season and at 80
cents per pound. The modest little
root was not of much account for it
was very small and contained only
about five per cent sugar. 1t grows
to great size now and runs frequent
ly considerably above 20 per cent.
When the industry was first start
ed in this country the machinery was
imperfect and the sugar was not so
good as cane sugar. Now the machin-
cry has been so perfected that the
finest sugar in the world is beet sugar
and there is nothing in which sugar
is used, where it will not bring
equally as good and usually better re-
suits than any other kind.

be allowed at the close of said per-
iod.
In case of conflicting applications,
the successful applicant will be de-
cided by a drawing to be held at
Havrc' Montana, ON November IS.
1916.
Price $3.50 and $1.25.
The price Of these lands is $3.50 per
acre for lands entered during the first
six months after the opening Of the
lands, and &l.25 per acre for lands
entered after said period.
Applicants for these lands during
the six-months period mentioned will
be required TO deposit with their APP
.plications so cents per acre for the
arc applied for and in addition there
to the regular land office fee and
commissions.
During the six months following the
opening of the lands entries are linn
tied in area to 100 acres, after which
time the enlarged homestead act, al
lowing the entry of 800 acres will APP
ply to lands designated, in accord
ancc with the provisions of said act.

Development In Montana.
Having provided a factory for @ y

which had Formerly been taken care
of at Billings. Mr.. Lawson and his as
soclates set to work to develop the in
dustry III Montana. and beet seed was
sent to every section of the state for
experimental purposes. In Western
and Northern Montana special agricul-
turists We're assigned to assist the
farmers in securing the best results.
In the Great Falls district more than
| 900 acres of bcets were planted.
Tests have shown the experiments sue
cessful and the 1916 crop from these
experimental districts will be shipped
to the Billings factory for refining.
SO successful We're the experiments
in western Montana that the company
decided to construct at Missoula a
factory Of the same capacity as the
Billings institution. what is known as
a 1000 ton plant. a site for this has
already been procured, contracts for
acreage in 1917 are being signed and
it will be in operation next fall pre-
pared to handle the product from an
acreage of many thousand.
Other Plants to Be Erected.
On reliable authority it has been
learned the company is considering
still further eXtention of the beet
growing industry in Montana aud the
probabilities are that within the i'm
mediate future factories will be erect
ed in central, Northern and Eastern
Montana. Experiments in beet grow
ing have been conducted in these dis
trlcts this year. On a recent trip over
the territory agriculturists are said to
have found most encouraging results.
Those, who are interested, have
hopes of developing a beet sugar in
in the Treasure state that will
