ming the water thru three-mile
tunnel to the head of Snake river, a
20,O00,000 project-700,000 acres
of Montana land will be irrigated, &C
cording to Jerome G. Locke of Liv-
ingston, who has been in Helena in
conference with Governor Stewart
| to determine what action the state
officials will take.
1t was two years ago that the
Idaho people got busy. They have
all their plans made and have or
ganized irrigation districts. Montana
farmers claim that the water belongs
to them. There are 100000 acres
along the Yellowstone, of which only
100000 are under ditch now from
the rivers supply. The Montana
farmers would build an 11foot dam
across the outlet of the lake at a
cost approximately of from 0,O0O
to 100000.
This dam would store the flood
waters in the spring which annually
do damage averaging $1,000,0OO,
and this water in the summer would
mean crops where now nothing can
be produced.
The matter of water right conces-
sions is to be put into the hands OF
an irrigation commission composed
of the secretary of the interior, the
secretary of agriculture and the sec
rotary of war with the interior sec
rotary as the head. In Washington
last January Mr.. Locke interviewed
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1920-04-16

Secretary Lane of the interior and
found him in favor of giving the
water to Montana.
First, however, the state must
show that it has the land to reclaim
and that it is acting in good faith.
The reclamation service will have
surveying crews in the field along
the Yellowstone in a few weeks to
determine the amount of reclaimable
land. Then the farmers will be or
ganized into irrigation districts so
that the government will know that
the Yellowstone farmers mean bust
ness
Mr.. Locke. who is a head official
of the Yellowstone Irrigation asso-
citation, is conducting a campaign
for $4,000 to pay expenses of the
campaign to put the big project over.

Burnley. The Burley highway
district claims the distinction of hav-
ing more miles of better roads, built
at less cost than any district in the
state. This section is fortunate in
having two things, first the splendid
cooperation of all the people and a
wonderful community spirit and a
great abundance of natural road
building material.
The district now has 120 miles of
gravel surfaced roads built at an
average value of $500 mile. Much
of the work and practically all of the
hauling was done by the farmers of
the district and in that way getting
better work for less money as the

BREAD SELLS At
25 CENTS LOAF
/. IN CT. BRITAIN
Price Is Expected to Advance
to IS Cents and Wheat
Crop Is Smallest Since
Early Days of the War.
tsr "ossrsa JOURNAL spscrAL LEASED w,Rsl

London, Sept. 1S.--With bread
selling at 20 cents a loaf and soon
to be raised to 30 and later perhaps
to 35 cents. England is harvesting
this season the smallest wheat crop
since the early days of the war.
Production of barley, on the other
hand, will show a material increase
over that of the last few years.
The reasons for this state Of af-
fairs, according to Prof, James
Long, a well-known agricultural
expert are government control and
beer. The price of wheat and oats
is regulated, but no restrictions
have been placed on that of barley.
AS the market price of barley is
exceptionally high, the farmers
planted that grain instead of wheat
and oats.
Professor Long shows that since
1918 wheat has been reduced by
$4,000 acres. or more than one
third Of the present area, while
oats, also an important breadstuff,
has fallen off by $4,000 acres, "On
the basis Of wheat" he says, this
means a loss of bread grain equal
to some 3S,000,000 bushels, or suf-
ficient to feed 100000 persons.
1t is n curious commentary on the
fact that the barley crop has con-
siderably increased, and that in
consequence beer has so far occu-
pied the position of bread"
The country has fewer cattle
than in any year since 1903 and
5,830,0O0 less sheep than the aver
age of the ten years from 1904 to
1918. The decrease in cattle since
last year is more than 10000 head.
