Extraordinary demand is reported for the orange and grapefruit crop Of the Sal; River valley. The orange yield is below average and will fur nish only about 30 carloads for ship ment. The quality is excellent and the prices received are unusual, owins to California shortage. The grape irJit crop is the heaviest ever known necessitating the finding of new mar kets. There has been little expansion of the citrus acreage of the valley within th past 10 years and most of the bearing groves are old ones.

COLLEGE STUDENT HAS
WON LAND CONTEST

Max w. Kenck, who settled on and
improved a homestead near Silver
Bow Junction, west of Butte, and
who absented himself to attend agri-
cultural college, is winner in a land
suit in which John l.. Strobel was
contestant.
1t was tried before the United
States commissioner in Butte Febru-
ary 26, 1917, and was decided by
Register Joseph Oker and Receiver
Frank Steele Of the Helena land
office.
Strobel claimed to have purchased
squatters' rights for the land Kenck
homesteaded, from August Bentz,
who in turn also arranged with
Kenck's father for Kenck's occupan-
cy. Kenck improved the land sub
stantially and Strobel sought to in
terfere, whereupon controversy en-
sued.
The opinion states Kenck showed
good faith by continual residence and
expenditure of thousands of dollars,
the absence to agricultural college
not being considered as operating
against him.

GOOD ROADS FOR

lot of suggestions for the good of the
men who are making that section OF
the state one of the most productive
districts in Montana.
The last issue of the "Farmer-

ment in Valley county, and among
other excellent articles, contains the
following:
Better Roads.
"We will soon be confronted with
the same old problem-the problem
of freighting out grain to market.
The greatest drawback to freighting
is the condition of the roads. If our
roads were as good as the roads of
France, one horse could haul load
for which we require four. Can't
something be done to put the roads
in better condition before freighting
time? There are several hundred
farmers in the north country who
haul either to Scobey or Glasgow or
Hinsdale. Wouldn't it be a good idea
for those who haul to each place to
get together for few days during
the slack time after seeding and fix
up the bad places in the road? If,
say, the three hundred or so farmers
who haul to Glasgow would spend
two or three days each working on
the road to Glasgow, it could be put
into shape where a larger load could
be hauled out and the trip made
quicker
Business Men Would Help.
'No doubt if there was an organ
lied effort on the part of the farmers
to fix up the roads. we could get the
commercial clubs and business men
of the market towns to cooperate
with us. If you are interested write
us and write the secretary of the COM

and We'll see what can be done to-
ward an organized effort
Don't wait for the county to fix
your roads. The county always seems
to be doing their road work over in

anything that for the same amount of
effort will add as much value to your

Farmers Holding Wheat.

Hill county farmers are putting in
a very large acreage of wheat, and
tens of thousands of bushels of the
last crop have not been marketed
Farmers are holding for high prices
and it is said there is enough wheat
in bins in this county to feed the en-
tire state for year. Large quanti-
ties of wheat also are known to be
held in the Gallatin valley for high
er prices, and it is said the leftover
product from the last crop would
more than supply Montana's needs
during the year. Despite that, tre-
mendous acreage is being sown.
