gram Of Disqualification.

Despite predictions from many
pessimists, the dry land farming Sec
lions of Montana will not go back to
the range. There are conditions un-
der which dry land farming will fail:
but there are conditions under which
1t can be made to pay. The fences on
our dry land sections are not going
to be torn out; we are going to dry
farm in the manner that will pay"
M. L. Wilson, county agent leader
for the Montana extension service,
brought out flood of questions,
comment and commentator with
this statement before the Rotary club
of Helena, while answering their re-
quest for talk on the future of dry
land, farming in Montana.
you gentlemen are not concerned
with the story Of the practical side
of farming. nor are you interested
In the scientific data attending upon
dry farming. But you are directly in
terested in an answer to the Ques-
ton, will dry land farming ever be
q success in Montana" he said. II
want to answer that question defin-
itely for you; not from my own de-
sire or opinion, but solely from the
facts that are known to bear upon the
question in Montana.
DRY land farming will fail if you
are thinking of dry land farming as
the raising of vast fields OF wheat.
and wheat alone.
eyes, dry land farming will sue
coed in Montana if you are thinking
of dry land farming as diversified
ton that includes crop rotation. in
telligent choice of grain varieties.
livestock, home garden, chickens and
the many other important points in
cluded in diversification scheme.
I'm agriculture on the dry land.
Montana must look to diversification,
with greater knowledge of the far
mer OH questions of summer tillage,
varieties of grain and types of live
stock. Not any one item in diversi-
fication can be taken for a panacea
for our present agricultural Ills"
Mr.. Wilson explained for the Ro-
tarians the principles governing crop
production in this state; told of the
hundreds Of grain plots on the expert
ment farms in Montana, of the in
vestigations in soil moisture and its
evaporation and of the history of
some of the leading state grain crops.
An interesting statement made was
that in 10 years the increase in corn
acreage in Montana has been 1884
per cent.

from It in few minutes. The next
call was at Bull BuntOn's house and
a man known as TEX" was arrested
in saloon. Investigation resulted in
Tex being set at liberty. Bunton
was taken to Lewis Demorest's cor
raj, where there was gate with two
high posts and a crosspiece. A board
upon two boxes was the drop. Bun
ton was very particular upon the
exact location Of the knot. He said
he did not care any more about hang
ing than taking drink Of water, but
he wanted to have his neck broken.
He asked the privilege of jumping off
and It was given to him. He called
"One. two. three, here goes,'' and
jumped off.
He'll Gate was the next destination
of the party. Cyrus Skinner was
taken out of his saloon and Alex Car
ter was found in an adjoining house.
Carter was prisoner before he was
fairly aroused. He only remarked:
This is tight papers, boys, amt it?"
and asked for smoke. A little later
he inquired for the news and was told
who had been executed.
"All right, not an innocent man
hung yet" was his reply.
Carter and Skinner were taken to
Higgins store, and in a few minutes
Johnny Cooper, who had been one
Of Plummer's lieutenants, was
brought in. A trial took place and
the verdict was rendered by those
present stepping to one side or the
other of the store, according as they
thought the prisoner guilty or not
Judgment of death was unanimous.
Two poles were placed leaning upon
the fence of Higgins corral. Two
boxes and two ropes finished the
equipment. On the way to hanging.
Skinner broke loose and shouted:
Shoot! Shoot" but the vigilantes
didn't shoot. They ran after him and
brought him back. With the ropes
around their necks, the two men re-
fused to confess and would only re-
peat the passwords of the band:
II am innocent
Cooper was badly wounded and had
to be hauled on sled to the corral.
He was placed on the box from which
Skinner had been swung off and
kept lodging the moose until warned
to keep quiet. He begged for
smoke and was given it. Then he
dictated a letter to his people in New
York. After that he said he was
ready.
Details of Hangmen
That night part of the detail left
He'll Gate and went to Barney
O'keefe's. Bob Zachary, the man
they were after, sat up in bed with
a pistol in one hand and a knife in
the other. But he was pushed over
so quick he could make no defense.
The detail started to He'll Gate with
him, and on the way learned that
George Shears was at Van Dorn's.
