ably the largest in the world, is a di-
rect result of the governments eff
forts to stimulate the growing of
wheat during the last two years. The
farm is devoted entirely to wheat, and
Ii 1t produces somewhere around the
country's average of % bushels per
acre, which is practically certain, it will
add approximately 5,656OOO bushels
to the 1919 wheat crop. At the gov
ernment's guaranteed price of 1925
cents e bushel, this represents the
tidy sum of $12,656,OOO. Of course
all this will not be net profit. But
there should be enough left, after all
expenses are paid, to make the ven
ture worth while
Thomas d. Campbell is the man
who conceived the idea Of the worlds
largest wheat farm, or any other sort
of farm, for that matter. Originally
Of Grand Forks, more recently of Los
Angeles, CAL, and now resident of
the Grow Indian reservation in Mon
tana, where he stands an excellent
chance of being elected chief of the
Crows, Mr.. Campbell has astonished
the wheat growers of the country, as
well as lot of other people, by the
vastness Of the enterprise under his
management.
It was during the summer of 1917
that Campbell first thought of raising
wheat on large scale on unused
Indian lands, and wrote to the Indian
bureau at Washington, outlining his
plans and asking how to proceed to
lease some of the tracts. He was
courteously informed by sundry OBJ
scure clerks in the department that
it couldn't be done. They cited GER
tain rules and regulations and laws
to prove their assertions
This had the same effect on Mr..
Campbell that red rag does on a
bull. The word impossible" only
makes him the more determined to
do what he sets out to do. So he
decided to try the men higher up and
the result was a long telegram to
President Wilson. Almost immediate
| ly came back a reply saying that the
president was much interested in the
project and had referred it to Secre-
| tary Lane of the interior department,
who would give the matter his per-
sonal attention.
Arizona state miner., 1919-08-15
-RREA6ZyF sSlZ OF III 200 900 ACREENPZI

tractors. Last fall, when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up
the prairie sod. This spring others
were at work. They plowed on the
average one acre a minute for the
working time. A record was made
on one day Of 1880 acres turned and
broken. All the seeding, harvesting,
etc., was also done by tractors, and
then, of course, there are the thrash
ing machines. Hence the absolute
uselessness of horses about this place.
One of the first problems Mr.. Camp
bell had to solve was the number Of
various kinds of machines that would
be required to do the work on the en-
tire farm. He solved this by dividing
the farm into units of 5000 acres and
then allowing a certain period for
each operation-such as plowing, har-
rowing, seeding, cutting, thrashing-on
each unit.
The 5,OOO-acre unit also has another
use. Mr.. Campbell, as active as he is,
couldn't reasonably be expected to
personally oversee work on 100000
acres of land throughout the season.
So each unit is put in charge of a
competent farm manager, with gen.
eral foreman and crew of men. Each
unit also has it's group of permanent
and modernly-equipped buildings. 1t
is a gigantic proposition any way you
take it.

U. S. to Resume Trade in Russia.

London.-A wireless dispatch says
that the German press is paying
marked attention to arrival Of a COM
mission of American merchants at
Archangel to negotiate with the soviet
authorities regarding a resumption Of
regular commercial traffic 1t is said
an agreement has been established
providing for the supply of provisions
agricultural machines and raw mater
ial by the Americans, in return for
which Russia is to grant concessions
to American industries.
Arizona state miner., 1919-08-15

The upshot of the matter was that
week or two later Mr.. Campbell was
in the presence of the secretary of the
interior. The first thing the secre-
tary asked him was what kind of a
contract he wanted.
"Any kind" was the reply, "just so
l get a chance to raise a lot Of
wheat.
what do you want for yourself?"
asked the secretary.
Nothing" Campbell replied. 81 am
willing to enroll with the dollar-a-year
men if the government finances the
project, and if 1 finance it myself all
want is chance to break even."
That certainly made hit with the
secretary. He saw that he was deal
ing with a real man, so he asked him
why he didn't make it 100000 acres in
stead of the 10000 he had asked for
and added:
Gould you handle that many
acres?"
Certainly" replied Mr.. Campbell,
''only it will require more capital than
had figured on"
Secretary Lane said he thought that
could be arranged and told Mr. Camp
bell to go ahead and draw contract
The contract was drawn and in due
time bore the signature Of Secretary
Lane, all the bureau chiefs and Mr..
Campbell. The Indians, of course,
were we'll taken care of under the
terms of the contract. They will re-
ceive one-tenth of the crop during the
first five years and one-ffth of the
crop during the second five-year period
at the end of which time the lease
expires.
The next step was to finance the
project, so Mr.. Campbell hurried to
