ORIENTALS NOT WANTED

ment here by the State Federation of

M0NTANANS ARE URGED
TO BUY COAL NOW
Car Shortage, Advance in Wages to
Miners and Labor Scarcity
Threatens Famine.

Helena. - Public agencies are max.
mig every effort to arouse Montana
people to the necessity of laying in
coal as early as possible and thus avoid
fuel shortage.
A car shortage is assigned as the
chief cause of the impending famine;
but miners also will be hard to get,
it is predicted; and in addition, there
is every prospect of big rise in the
price of fuel, unless Federal statutes
on necessities are brought to bear
in this state.
Montana's fuel supply ran low last
winter and in many sections, real
hardships were endured.
Railway men warn the public that
the strain on transportation will be
more severe this fall and winter than
ever before and that while coal, as
necessity, will always have first call,
it may not always be possible to
supply even the actual daily needs.
The Montana public utilities COM
mission and the state department of
agriculture are now bombarding city
and rural consumers of coal with
warning of conditions.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks .
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need of
foodstuffs equal to that of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
TONS history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life is that close to nature, ell
joying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling a duty to human
ity by producing from a fertile soil
that which is essential to the very ex-
istence of less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for a number
of years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap
bounteOuS return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
OF patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to large extent, considered as only
place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely a comfortable existence. Such
a wrong impression has been created,
in measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in

culture have been given supremacy
In the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other bust
ness does a system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that, generally speaking needs it as
much. The old idea of getting living |
off the farm and not knowing how it |
was made and following up the details |
of each branch of farming to get the |
maximum of profit, at the least ex- |
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as |
a business and a living is not sufficient |
for the modern agriculturist q small
per cent on the Investment is uOl
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
in many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of a sys-
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that it is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. c. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa,
bought hundred and sixty acres of
land in Western Canada for $1,000 in
December, 1915 and took his first crop
from it in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
It and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 a bushel Ga low price
with the present market),
mad surplus of $2,472.67. His figures
are as follows: i
