URGE MONTANA FARMERS
TO RAISE Big CROPS
Montana Experiment Station to
Aid in Producing Large Yields
Much Food Needed

These are strenuous times, Europe
the cradle of. our civilizatios, the home
of all our forebears, fra itself div
ided into two warning camps striving
to the limit of their power for mas
terry. Millions of men and women who
in happier days were engaged in pro-
ductive industry are devoting all their
energies to destruction or to prov;d-
ing the means for destruction.
Through no fault of our own but to
protect ourselves and humanity
against ruthless destruction contrary
to all the rights and laws of nations
our country is forced into the con-
flict, says T. B. Linfeld, director of
the Montana Experiment Station at
Bozeman.
But few Of US can go to war, but
all of US can work. Moreover if all
the potential working forces of Am
erica got busy there need be no di-
minution of the production of the
country in any direction, even though
two or three millions of men gave
themselves to war, nor any diminu-
ton of our wealth even should the
war continue for two years or more.
What nations Of Europe will be lin
ed up against each other six months
from now no person can tell; they
may be the same as now, they may
be wholly different, but whatever the
situation there is for us no turning
back. We must see this thing through.
1t is always safe to prepare for the
work; we are then always ready no
matter what may happen. From the
least to the greatest in every indus
try in the land our watchword should
be, prepare.
Montana is long way from any
probable scene of war We have lit
tie to fear from the presence of an
armed enemy, therefore, all the more
reason why we should do our part
in the work of the nation. With mil
lions of acres of fertile land yet un-
touched by the plow, a proper organi-

BABY WEEK WILL Be
OBSERVED IN GLASGOW
May First to Sixth Set Aside for
Event-Committee Pre-
pairing Program

Baby week is coming-May 1st tc
6th-and it is the hopes Of the com.
mittee in charge that every person ir
Valley county will take an interest ir
this celebration. Everybody can help
in some way and everybody can get
some good out of it.
In a report put out by the Chill
dren's Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor the terrible fact
was shown that one out of every ten
babies die before it is one year of age
If each and every one would help
in the principles that this Baby Week
campaign stands for this terrible fact
might be reduced.
What Baby Week is Not
Baby Week is not a show week, and
mothers are urged not to take small
babies into crowded halls and public
gathering places as this very exposure
may do the very harm it is the object
of Baby Week to help avoid.
~ iiuo1 lIoI De oIllpcCllOH De-
tween babies, but it is a competition
among all good and wise people, pa
rents, teachers, pastors, and all inter-
ested, to see who can bring about the
best conditions for baby's life, both
physical and mental.
What Baby Week Is
Baby Week is nationwide endeav-
or on the part of women's clubs,
schools, churches, and civic organiza-
tions, all backed up by the thoughtful
men and women, to better the chances
of our babies for healthy, happy lives.
This endeavor was first inaugurat-
ed in Chicago in 1914, and that same
year several other cities followed and
for seven days attention was concen-
trated on baby's needs, with an en-
phasis calculated to inspire popular
response and result in permanent
work for the reduction of infant NOR
tality and for the improvement in con-
ditions affecting the welfare of babies
and young children.
In 1915 the General Federation of
Women's clubs took up the plan with
the result that over 1000 communities
observed Baby Week last year.
Baby Week instructs young moth
ers in the care of the helpless delicate
infant. No matter how we'll baby
is, it is delicate and may be harmed
in many ways.
Baby Week seeks to wake up the
whole community on such questions
as contagious diseases, clean milk,
right working hours for mothers, and
allied matters.
Baby Week programs are built with
the purpose of securing to baby and
baby's mother the best chance for
normal lives.
Every effort is being made by the
committee in charge of the local Baby
Week to make it a success and the
cooperation of every one in the city
is requested.

MONTANA WILL INVEST
IN WAR BONDS

The state Of Montana will purchase
100000 worth Of the federal war
bonds. This was unanimously decid-
ed upon by the state board Of land
commissioners at meeting Monday
There is over S2,0O0,O0O in the
funds for the land board awaiting i'll
vestment and the board took the posi-
ton that inasmuch as the demand for
farm loans has not been up to expec-
tations, the investment in the war
bonds would not only be good one,
but it would also be patriotic one.

MONTANA MAY DOUBLE
IT'S YIELD OF WHEAT

Montana will plant from so to Is

will produce approximately $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat as compared with
28,000,0OO in 1916.
From the big wheat sections on the
high line of the Great Northern, in
the Judith Basin and in the inland
empire around Billings, most encour-

aging crop reports are coming in
There is no labor shortage for seed
ing. but it is realized that there may
be before the fall harvest.
Movements have been inaogurated
by the state superintendent of public
schools and by various city societies
and they assure backyard gardens ev-
erywhere.
The department of agriculture says
that the acreage broken to wheat in
Montana this year will be limited only
by the capacity of the tractors which
are now working "a hours daily in
three shifts, and seven DAYS a week.

Big INCREASE IN
CROP AC&!E'AGE
Valley County Farmers ShO, %
Patriotism BY Putting
Many Acres in Crop
TRACTORS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR
Acreage in County Will Be Doubled.
Thousands of New Settlers
Arriving in the State
From the Feast

Valley County is going to do her
"bit" toward raising bumper crop
this year. If all parts of the country
are taking on as busy and industrious
a look as the farming sections of this
part of the state, then there need be
no fear of food famine this year
at least.
Horses by the carload and tractors
by the trainload have been coming in
to the state in a steady stream for
the last month and half. The
farmers in Valley county have been
getting their share of these shipments
and more land will be put into crop
this season than ever before.
More than 30 carloads of tractors
have been received, unloaded and de-
livered to buyers at Glasgow so far
this season, and dealers state this is
only small part of what they have
coming. The inability of the factor
les to fill orders and freight conges-
tion will cause many farmers who
have ordered machines to 60 without
them for putting in the spring crop.
Farmers in this district are working
day and night to get their land in
shape for seeding, and the majority
of them are going to farm this year
on bigger scale than ever Those
who owned tractors have in many
cases purchased larger outfits in order
that they might get more land in crop
and reap the benefits of So wheat and
$S flax. The latter crop will be
grown extensively in this section this
season, and if good crop is har-
vested, and the present high prices
prevail, there may be few more
Valley county millionaires.
All records for immigration from
the central states to Northern Min
nesota, North Dakota and Montana
have been broken this year. More
than $4,000 persons, it is estimated,
have immigrated since March l
through St. Paul.
More than 500 adults per day are
passing through St. Paul on their way
to farms in the northwest. Immigra-
tion trains have carried as high as
259 persons to North Dakota and
Montana.
The high cost of land to the south
and east, the present price of farm
products, and the fact that great
quantities of wheat lands still are
open, are held responsible for the
movement, which started in March
and is expected to reach its height
soon.
The number of cars of household
goods passing through the Minnesota
Transfer is exceptional and is indica-
tive of the movement toward the
northwest.
1--WE are carrying about 200 set
tiers day." E. C. Leedy, immigra-
tion commissioner of the Great
Northern, said. "This breaks all rec
ords for us. We had 259 on one train,
During March we handled 735 immi
grant cars to Montana alone. North
Dakota and Minnesota are drawing
large numbers. The majority of set
tiers are coming from the Central
states"
The Northern Pacific is hauling ap
proXlmately as many persons as the
Great Northern.

were made for leaving on No. 3 and
all government property belonging to
