MONTANA LANDS
GAIN ATTENTION

Not because Montara's S crown OF
precious METALS is slipping but be-
cause her top soil is beginning to be
worked. Montana is regarded as a
giant and the state threatens to
snatch the flax leadership from North
Dakota as Well as producing si-
gantic wealth of other food products.
according to an editorial in the Coun-
try Gentleman on Montana.
The editorial was based on the Of
ficial publication Of Montanas re-
sources. Montana, 1920. prepared
and issued by Charles ID. Greenfield,
com missioner Of agriculture and pub
lici,y. The Country Gentleman is
among the big farm periodicals Of the
United States and is published by the
owners of the Saturday Evening Post.
The kindly consideration given
Montana III the publication is appre-
ciated by Montana residents as we'll
as by Mr. Greenfield. The editorial,
which is the leading article in the
issue referred to, says:
Montana is our third largest
state II is as large as III Rhode
Islands. and contains more acres than
New England. New York. New Jer-
sey. Delaware and Maryland com
bined Thus it is siant-very
young. but Very much d giant as we
are reminded by a pridefnl booklet

for the state.
Due homage has been rendered to
Montana as q mining state. Its stores
of silver. gold. copper. zinc. lead. coal
and manganese intri-'ta oar interest
and excite our wonder. h5f We must
now begin to think OF Montana as a
farmig state Mr.. Greenfield reminds
us. This is not because the state 5
crown of precious metals is Tipping.
bur because the state TOP soil is be-
ginning TO he worked. The state
threatens to snatch the flax leader

the acre. 1t ranks well in sugar

Not counting its livestock or its wool
crop, the states farm products total
ed STAG. 900 in 1918. This is
mere than the yield of its mines
1t is better thus. Mines play out
and are abandoned. Farm lands

will be a more solid and safer CITIZEN
in our Union.
