MONTANA FARMER
LEADS THE WORLD
MUCH LAUDED MICHIGAN PROFIT
SMALL AS COMPARED WITH
MONTANA RESULTS.
Michigan Farmer Took $2,93S Off of
so Acres Same Acreage in North
ern Montana Would Have Brought
Him More Than $4,000; Compare
son of Land Values.

A Michigan farmer cleared $2,93S
profit from the crops grown last year
on SO acres. The achievement was
heralded far and wide as something
remarkable. 1t attracted the atten-
ton of Claude G. Watson of Rudyard,
who writes of what Montana farmers
are doing and challenges the world to
show comparative profits. Mr.. Wat
son says:
A $1,000 Lead.
81 can not help but take notice of
an article in which is rhcwn a list of
articles raised by a Mr.. Kelly Johnson
of Escanaba, Mich. You state that he
raised $2,93S.74 on his 50-acre farm
|. l cannot help but make a COMPARE
son with a yield out here at Rudysrd,
in a county only seven years of age.
l have a neighbor here wno had so
acres of wheat that averaged AZ
bushels per acre and sold for $1.85
per bushel. That is the nice little
sum of 1855 or $947 mJre than our
Michigan neighbor produced. His
land is probably worth $3.50 per acre
and our lands are selling at SIS to
$25 per acre. If his land is worth
$3.50 per acre our lands are worth
$3.50 per acre.
Woods Full of Fortune.
For a comparison with our Michi-
gan neighbor 1 also have two other
yields that will beat the above. !
know a man residing within 20 miles
of here, that had 56 bushels per acre.
Had he sold his wheat at $1.85 per
bushel, and he NJ doubt will get it, as
he has not yet sold, would be on SO
acres, the size of the Michigan farm,
$500 bushels. At $1,85 he would
receive $3.50; or $2,221.26 more
than our Michigan neighbor. Now
another comparison. Another neigh
Dor here, within eight miles, raised
from his 1916 alfalfa seed crop, $3.50
per acre. Had there been SO acres OF
this crop, he would have had the nice
little sum of 1880, or $5,011.2e
more money than our Michigan
friend raised on his farm.
81 give these figures to compare
the high priced land of Michigan with
the low priced lands of Montana. J
challenge the farm world to beat
these yields and income from the
farm lands of America. 1 do not
however, challenge the $4,000 pei
acre lands of California, and Other
fruit countries. But if you can show
me farm lands anywhere in Americs
that can beat the profits from Hill
county lands, I want to know where
they are. We are living il the lane
of opportunity and do not tt
know It,"

If you did not begin to keep farm
accounts on January /, the best time
to begin after this date is April 1.
At this time the feed, hay, and prod
ucts grown on the farm the previous
year have been consumed or mar
keted in various ways. Take the in
ventory of farm machinery and all
your assets and liabilities, keep a
cash account of the outgo and the
income.
Keep Detailed Records.
If one sees fit to devote sufficient
time to divide the farm into various
departments a great deal of good
can be obtained by keeping detailed
records of the income and expense OF
various departments.
In this way it will often be found
that one department is extremely I'M
profitable and should be modified OIL
dropped. It also points out the de-
partments that are the most profit
able and allows the farmer to con
centrate his efforts where they will
bring the greatest returns.
Be Up-to-Date.
Bookkeeping has been popu
lar on the farm but the up-to-datt
farmer is beginning to realize that
is the only way to put farming on
businesslike basis. Every bushes
has it's systems of accounts, why no
farming?

HOWTOAPPLYFOR
LOAN ON THE FARM
MUST ACCOMPANY YOUR APPLI-
CATION TO STATE WITH
DEPOSIT OF $40.
Will BE Returned to You If Your APP
plication Is Accepted or Rejected;
Few Loans Being Applied For;
Are Farmers Waiting for Federal
Banks to Open?

Do you contemplate applying for
a loan on your land from the state
of Montana? If so, when you send
your application in to Register Mil
Ter of the state land office, you must
accompany the application with a de-
post of $40, either in cash, by check
or money order. This deposit will
be forfeited to the state in the event
you fail to complete the loan within
a reasonable time after the applica-
ton has been approved. In the event
the loan is made or your application
is rejected your money will be re-
funded to you.
Applications for farm loans are
not coming in as fast as it was ex-
pected they would. 1t may be that
there is no crying demand for loans,
although private loan men are do
ing a land office business. 1t may
be, too, that many farmers are figur-
ing on doing business with the fed
eral loan banks
May Stimulate Interest.
The land office, however, is doing
what it can to stimulate interest, and
announces that the land commission
ers will loan the educational funds of
the state as provided by Chapter 124
of the 1917 Session Laws upon good
improved patented farm lands that
are free and clear of all incum-
ORANGES or liens of any kind or ma
ture.
Among other suggestions, the fol-
lowing are made by the state land
board:
The register of state lands, upon
receipt of an application for a loan,
shall examine the same, and If from
an examination of such application
it shall appear that the applicant is
entitled to a loan, the register of
state lands shall notify the appli-
cant to that effect and direct him to
furnish an abstract of title coverign
the lands offered as security for the
attorney general for approval. If
such abstract meets with the approx
al of the attorney general, the state
land agent shall examine and APP
praise such lands, free of cost to the
applicant, and such appraisal shall
determine the maximum amount
that shall be loaned.
ell Amount Oh AOdnS.
Loans will not be in sums less
than $500 nor for more than two
, fifths of the appraised value of the
lands offered as security. Loans
will not be made for less than three
+ years nor more than ten years. AL
, loans shall bear interest at the rate
of 6 per cent per annum, payable an
. nually, at the office of the register
, of state lands at Helena, Montana
All notes shall provide that 10 PEI
cent of the principal or any multi
n pie thereof may be paid in three
q years from date, or at any interes
g paying date thereafter.
The mortgage shall be recorded
II and the abstract of title continued
to show the mortgage to the stat,
and be returned to the register o
turned over to the applicant. Thu
|, abstract shall be kept by the registe
until the note and mortgages are full
ly paid or sold.
If All applications for loans shall b
q filled, as nearly as possible, in tn
order in which they are received. an
preference will be given to bona fid
residents of the state of Montana.

THREE HUNDRED REGISTRARS
TO REGISTER 10000 IN A DAY

ATLANTA, Ga, May 17-Accordins
to calculations made by Albert d.
Thomson, secretary to Mayor Gambler,
CT this city, it will take FIVE minutes
to fill out the registration card of a
man of military age under the selectivo
CONSUMPTION law. AS there are 10000
men of such age in Atlanta, it is esti-
mated that 800 registrars and large
number of registration booths will be
necessary to complete the task in one
day. The war department has an
nounced that only one day will be al
lowed for registration Nothing like
800 men have volunteered to serve
free as registrars in Atlanta, although
the mayor is getting volunteers every
day. But the task is a big one, and
the officials can't see to save their
lives how it's going to be finished in
one day.
