fodder and ears of corn. After the
corn is cut, the ground should have
a light double discking after which
the ground is practically ready for
the following year and grain drill.
/ have also found that, after the
small grain is up and the Russian
thistles are numerous, dragging a
heavy bridge timber behind the har-
row over the field cross-ways to the
rows will smother out the weeds es-
pecially if it should rain just after
doing so.
With moderate conservation of
moisture and proper tillage we are
guaranteed a crop. Our soils are fer
tile and only lack rainfall in needed
periods. We have one of the most
healthful climates in the United
States as well as free range and fuel
and water.
Follow Established Plan
We can produce just as much on
u ten dollar land as they do back
east on that two hundred dollar land
and with less expense, if we adopt
the method previously stated and
stop experimenting. Just as soon as
we do we shall have a prosperous
country and offer some inducement
for others to come in and settle on
III vast stretches of vacant land.
When we show others we have made
a success then and only then will
they come in here.
Would you invest in a country
that was not making good? | be-
lieve that if any banker or several
banks should adopt a plan where a
field man was chosen to examine and
report on all applications for farm
for loans or renewal of loans and
insist that they adhere strictly to one
plan or method under contract, |
would venture to say that it would
be a very short time before our dry
farming country was on a sure and
fast road to recovery.

Farm According to Conditions

| do not blame the banks of the
country nor am | taking into consid.
Grafton u present grain markets
We were in the mire long before
then and that is as much a national
problem as it is a local one. Condi-
tons here are such now as they have
been for hundreds of years and in al
probability will be for hundreds to
come. This is a semi-arid country
and we must farm under these
conditions.
About every other farmer you on
verse with is lamenting his state of
affairs and cussing the country,
when fundamentally he is to blame.
| do not wish to appear too severe a
critic or as an authority on dry farm
ing, although with daily observation
hereabouts the past fifteen years
am inclined to have more faith than
ever in our Eastern Montana lands.
In the first place the government
allotted the farmer 800 acres of land
and the state as we'll as the federal
government came along and loaned
him one OIL two thousand dollars.
The last three dry years he was able
to seed and feed from his country
besides sufficient help at all times
from his local bank and he is now
petitioning congress to stake him
further, then in the end blame it all
on those three dry years.
AS stated Uncle Sam gave him
800 acres and any small school boy
could have set him right. Open any
old geography and it will tell you
we are situated in the semi-arid belt
and I hardly believe it tells us that
we are noted for producing great
quantities of rice and cranberries,
although it appears that way after
observing some of the Iowa farmers
using Iowa methods here year after
year.
Sane Farm Practice Ignored
The very reason they gave the far
mer 800 acres was SO that he could
summer fallow 100 acres every sea-
He had the advice of our ex-
perimental stations and the school
but he ignored them both, there
fore he is about broke besides about
breaking the banks, lumber yards
and store keepers as well.
Of course, we a very easily de-
fine our weak points now, which are
big farming and not in the right way,
easy credit, foolish investments like
and other machinery that we
could have gotten along without, in
stead of a little inconvenience and
confirming our living to the garden,
chickens and cows and diversified
in general.

What percentage of the thousands
of homesteaders that filed here on
our vast areas of government lands
in Eastern Montana, are actually hv-
ing on and ~cultivating these farms?
To be conservative, | would say, not
more than fifty percent. And what
percent of these are really making a
success of their venture? | would
very readily say less than ten per-
cent. and others are in such poor
straits that it behooves them to sit up
and take stock.
They tell me this year is the bum
per year because we have had an
open winter, and those winters pre-
vious to our dry summers were sup
posed to be bumpers also, and they
were to some-bumped them clear
out of the game. Shall we go aim
lessly drifting on and wait for those
good years? 1t will surely ruin us in
a very short time. Surely there must
be some remedy for it all.
Are we going to sit by and let pow
erty eat into our vitals and let time
alone verify and correct this disaster,
or are we, as progressive American
citizens, going to ferret out and
delve to the very bottom Of 1T all,
and establish a concrete foundation
to go forward on in the future?
Some farmers have made a sue
cess here, why not others? There
should be some plan or outline to pat
tern after and standardize instead of
one farmer having this theory and
the next another. We have agricul-
tural colleges and they are doing
wonderful work under many difficult
ties and "catch as you can" attitude
of most farmers.

dry land farmer is an exception to
the rule. His article fairly bristles
with common sense-and he has been
a dry lander for fifteen years so he
speaks from practical experience and
observation. He doesn't believe in
stalking everything in one crop and
he doesn't believe in gambling with
the weather. Adopt a sane farming
system that includes livestock and
provides for Investigation, antici-
pate dry years and farm accordingly,
and don't attempt Iowa" methods
in eastern or northern Montana
that is the gist of Mr.. Merritt's mes
sage and it is the plan that has been
followed by most of the dry land far
mers who have emerged from the
period of drouth with smiles on their
faces and some money in the bank.

TRADE BOUYANT
 ON COTTON RISE
MERCHANTS SAY THERE HAS BEEN A GENERAL AWAKEN ING ALL ALONG THE LINE RETAILERS SEE BIG FALL TRADE AS RESULT.
lNew York Daily News-Record.l

(New York Daily News-Record.
 That business throughout the South in general has been buoyed by the sudden rise in the price of raw corton ls reflected in a survey of iIEr portant sections made by correspond ents of the Daily News Record. Op- timism seems to have been made the slogan of the day, and one cores pendent describes the situation as ga general wakening up all along the line"
 Various estimates have been made as to the amount which the new in- crease will mean to the cotton grow CTS, one statistician placing 1t at something like $750,000,O00 for the year. The influence of the rise in prices has already had its effect on retail sales, merchant in Colum- bus, Ga, reporting that his sales have doubled in the last two days"
 Everywhere in the South the re- ports indicate a revolution in the spirit of business, and confidence in the future of trade that has not been evident for many months. The prospects of the liquidation of debts that have been long standing are taken as a key by the retailers who predict new high records of trade this fall. Reports from Nashville, Tenn, say that there is very little trading in cotton, many farmers re- fusing to let go of their holdings in the hope of getting 25 cents.
 According to reports from Atlanta, retailers and jobbers express optim- ism for business this fall on account of the advance in cotton and advise consumers to buy now or pay higher prices for cotton goods later. They declare mills are quoting higher prices every hour.
 Reports from Charleston, 5. C., merchants indicate that business will increase on the strength of the cotton advance, that many will buy literally of stock to meet the increase in trade and that factories will be going full blast soon. They also look for a decided drop in unemployment.

Hays Predicts Era
 of Prosperity

Cleveland, O.. Predicting that the world looks forward into the great est era of expansion and prosperity that 1t has ever seen, Will H. Hays, postmaster general, speaking at the 35th annual convention of the Ma tional Association of Life Under writers here, said that he had no use for commercial slackers.
 There is lot of business that is really sick" said MT. Hays, sstill staggering with the shell shock of war and the debauch of extravagance, but there is a good deal more that is merely malingering. I have full appreciation of the difficulties, but l have no use for commercial slack CTS. We are not in a period of hard times coming. We are in a period of soft times coming. Prosperity is coming-it's time to go out and meet 1t. 1 cry continually for the common sense of courage and confidence, and I declare again, and shall continue to insist that we have less Thou shalt not and more of Come on, let's go. ]"
