FERGUS IS TO WAGE
BATTLE ON GOPHERS

One of the most determined cam
paigns against gophers in Montana
this year will be that waged in Fer
gus county, where ten elevator com
panies. having elevators in practical
ly every town in the county where
there is a railroad connection are
furnishing the sinews of war for a
fight that will be carried on under
the direction of Carl H. Peterson
county agriculturist.
Three hundred ounces of strych-
nine have ben purchased, and Mr.
Peterson will give demonstrations
of how to prepare and scatter the
poison in almost every community
in the county. One ounce of strych-
nine will poison 20 quarts Of oats
which, it is calculated, will be suf-
ficient to treat 100 burrows.
This is probably the most import
ant concerted effort to destroy 60
piers that has been made yet in
Montana, although numerous other
similar campaigns are to be made in
various parts of the state during the
coming season.

START KEEPING
FARM ACCOUNTS
If YOU DID NOT OPEN BOOKS ON
JANUARY 1, Do SO BE-
FORE APRIL is.
Take an Inventory of the Farm Ma
chinery and All Your Assets and
Liabilities; Keep a Cash Account
of the Outgo and Income; Detailed
ecOrdS.

If you did not begin to keep farm
accounts on January l, 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 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 or
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 never been popu-
lar on the farm but the up-to-date
farmer is beginning to realize that it
is the only way to put farming on a
businesslike basis. Every business
has it's systems of accounts, why not
farming?

MONTANA FARMER
LEADS THE WORLD
MUCH LAUDED MICHIGAN PROFIT
SMALL AS COMPARED WITH
MONTANA RESULTS.
Michigan Farmer Took $2,938 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 $2,938
profit from the crops grown last year
on SO acres. The achievement was
heralded far and wide as something
remarkable. 1t attracted the atten-
tion 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.
II can not help but take notice of
an article in which is shown a list of
articles raised by Mr.. Kelly johnson
of Escanaba, Mich. You state that he
raised $2,938.74 on his 50-acre farm
l cannot help but make compari-
son with a yield out here at Rudyard,
in a county only seven years of age.
l have a neighbor here VINO 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 1885 or $947 more than our
Michigan neighbor produced. His
land is probably worth $3.50 per acre
and our lands are selling at SIS to
$3.50 per acre our lands are worth
$3.50 per acre.

Had he sold his wheat at $1.85 per

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, $15C
per acre. Had there been SO acres OF
this crop, he would have had the nice
little sum of $3.50, or $5,011.2e
more money than our Michigan
friend raised on his farm.

the high priced land of Michigan with
the low priced lands of Montana.

these yields and income from the

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

Do you contemplate applying for
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-
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 commissions
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-
brances 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. II
such abstract meets with the approx
al of the attorney general the state
land agent shall examine and ap-
praise such lands, free Of cost to the
applicant, and such appraisal shall
determine the maximum amount
that shall be loaned.
| Amount of Loans.
| 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. All
loans shall bear interest at the rate
of 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 per
cent Of the principal or any multi
pie thereof may be paid in three
years from date, or at any interest
paying date thereafter.
The mortgage shall be recorded
and the abstract of title continued
to show the mortgage to the state
and be returned to the register of
turned over to the applicant The
abstract shall be kept by the register
until the note and mortgages are full
| ly paid or sold.
All applications for loans shall be
filled, as nearly as possible, in the
order in which they are received, and
preference will be given to bona fide
residents of the state of Montana.
