High1vOod Farmer Nets
SO2 Per Acre on Wheat

G EVEN years ago a homesteader filed on a 800 acre tract near Highwood.
y His name as Charles Vaughn. His total assets did not have a valuation
of $1,000. Today he is worth $4,000, and he does not owe a cent IN the
world. Financial lightning has not struck him in the shape Of a fat legacy
from some departing relative. He has simply tanned the rich Montana soil
and won a fortune in the process.
His achievement stands al a record, although there are many Montana
farmers who have waxed wealthy during the past few years Of bumper crops
and high prices of farm produce.
During the past two seasons he has planted 400 acres to wheat. His
net profit for the two seasons, after charging up every item u expenditure
in connection with the two crops will total $9275 cents per acre.
His crop of winter wheat of last year averaged him $57 to the acre net.
It ws a fine cop and he plowed the land in the fall of 1916 with tn idea
of letting it lie falow during 1916.
VAUGHN is a m an who thinks. He came to the conclusion that the land
could rest lust IS well after the war s now. The high price o. wheat last
fall helped him to arrive at this conclusion. He drilled spring wheat In anu
has lust sold his crop. I; brought him 4S bushels to the acre:
The two crops, after paying all expenses netted him $oIOOo.
After he had proved up OF his homestead, about four years ago, ne
bought an adjoining half section. For this land he paid $25 per acre, and this
coz land has ben paving him 200 Der cent per year during the past two years.
He has lust purchased al additional 440 acres, giving him a HOO acre
farm, a little empire.
He has lust completed the building of his own elevator. -
He has the idea that Montana is me O. the garden spots OF Tn world
and he is right about it.

IN THESE fat days when the sheep
= man is getting two prices for wool
and mutton and rides in an eight-cyl-
inder touring car, he can conjure up
only as a faint fancy the hardships
Of the sheep grower when Montana
was not only woody but wild. The pio-
neers of the industry in this state had
not only to guard their sheep from the
ravages of wolves and coyotes, but
many of them also had to protect their
flocks from thieving Indians and even
to battle for their own lives against
the redmen. For the first sheep driv-
en- into the state no shelter was pre-
pared and many were lost when, after
a particularly heavy snowfall the
Chinook was tardy in his role of har-
vester of the whitened prairies.
The pioneer sheepman had no
store of alfalfa or hay to draw up
on when the weather was freakishly
severe, no artificial sources of water
to which he could lead his flocks when
the summer was long and hot and the
plains had become parched. He was
frequently unaware of the danger in
poisonous weeds when the p~asturage
was poor and the sheep were impelled
by pangs of hunger to MUNICH vegeta-
ton that their instinct otherwise for
babe them to touch.
Today sheep raising has become
a stable industry with prices quoted
from all parts of the world every day
by telegraph, but the range ranching
of the earlier days was so largely
speculative that it was often spoken
of as a game" with as much uncer-
tainty to its credit as mining.
While sheep raising was yet an in
FAINT industry in Montana the sheep
men aroused the bitter hostility of the
cattlemen, who maintained that the
flocks fed so closely that they ruined
the range. For years the disputes and
contentious continued over the occu-
pancy of pasturage on mountain and
prairie, often taking the form of
open violence, usually to the disad-
vantage of the sheepmen, who some
times lost whole flocks that their riv-
ais drove over cliffs or into canyons
The first sheep were driven into
Montana from Washington and Ore
gon or from California through Ne.
vada and Idaho.
Particularly thrilling were the ad-
ventures of William C. Orr and Philip
H. Poindexter, California pioneers
who drove cattle and sheep into Mon.

BILLINGS BEET SUGAR
PLANT IN OPERATION
WILL DISTRIBUTE TO GROWERS
OVER 100000 THIS
FALL.

The manufacture Of sugar at the
plant of the Billings sugar beet fac
tory has begun. Harvesting of beets
commenced about October l, and it
is estimated that more than 81 ,000,-
900 will be paid out to the beet grow
ers of the Billings district for this
seasons crop. Last years harvest
resulted in the distribution of this
sum among the growers, and the crop
of this year will yield a larger ton
mage.
The first payments to growers will
be made on November Is, when the
beet growers will receive the money
for from $4,000 to 10000 tons of
beets. The price is expected to run
from Sc to $3.50 per ton, depending
upon the saccharine tests.
Sugar beet acreage in this district
is expanding. Last year the Billings
factory handled the beets of the
Lowell district in Northern Wyoming.
The Lowell factory is now in commits
sion and will take care of the Lowell
crop of this season. The fact that the
Billings factory will handle as large
a tonnage this season as last indicates
the expansion.
Sugar produced at Billings this year
will be strictly a Montana product
Until the great war broke out Amer.
lea received her sugar beet seed from
Germany. The beets of this season
were grown from Montana seed, anc
the excellence of the product means
that this practice will continue.

HOW MONTANA

Great Falls.-John W. Dawson Of
Helena, deputy state examiner, is a
highly respected resident of the cap
ital, and a mar whom anyone would
describe as a good citizen, yet that
did not keep him out of jail in Great
Falls recently.
Mr.. Dawson arrived in the Electric
City and registered at the Park hotel,
intending to retire at once, as he was
tired. The clerk informed him re-
gretfully and politely that there were
no rooms to be had. Mr.. Dawson
thereupon walked over to the Rain
bow and found the same lack of &C
commodations there.
"That's a nuisance" said Mr..
Dawson to the clerk at the desk. cit

prefer being at the hotel"
So Mr.. Dawson started for a room
ing house, and after arousing the wo-
men in charge, told her he wanted the
best room in the house.
"No rooms" said the woman,
briefly.
Nh. Dawson thought of several
things he didn't say. He merely
headed for another rooming house,
where his experience at the first one
was repeated. During the next hour
he found quite a number Of rooming
houses that were filled up.
YEARLY, at last he telephoned to

"Say," said Mr.. Dawson, "have
you got a cot or a stall in your barn
or anywhere else I can lie down till
J daylight. 1 can't get a room in
town."
"Sorry, old man," replied the
friend. GA couple of people from
out of town dropped in ON us today,
and we re chuck full-the house, I
mean.'
"Oh! -----!" was all the
deputy examiner could think of to
say. "Well," he murmured to him
self after a minutes reflection,
"there's only one thing to do, so here
goes"
A few minutes later Dawson enter

there he saw that he was not alone in
his misery. No less than a dozen re-
