FREE GOPHER POISON
FOR FEDERAL LANDS

A recent communication from the
Biological department, United States
Department of Agriculture, states
that this county will be furnished
with 5000 lbs. of free gopher poi
son to be used on federal and state
state land in 1922. We have been
assured by this department that it
will launch big project poisoning
all the Fort Peck reservation land.
The Farm Bureau, which has charge
of the distribution of this bait, de-
cided at the annual meeting to apply
it all on the Fort Peck Indian reser-
walton.
A committee meeting of represen-
tatives from each of the organized
communities will be held at the Farm
Bureau office in Poplar on April 4th
at / O'Clock p. m. to determine where
and how poison shall be distributed.
Wide Awake, Divide, Piety Hill, Tun-
nison, Seips and Drew communities
are the ones that will be represented
at this committee meeting.

the Fargo office from Roosevelt coun-

KATHERINE MACDONALD
BITTEN BY ACTOR HORSE

Katherine Macdonald, beautiful
motion picture star, who will be seen
at the Liberty theatre April and s.,
in "The Thunderbolt," n came very
near suffering the loss of her thumb
and second finger on her right hand
recently.
When Miss Macdonald was feed
ing Jumps of sugar to a horse used
in "The Thunderbolt, the animal,
frightened at hearing "studio" bat
tie, bit down sharply sending his
teeth into Miss MacDonald's fingers.

land out of which their debts will be
paid. This forces the owner of the
land to start off in debt. 1t always
takes more than the loan to pay the
debts and in addition to having a
very inadequate supply of knowledge
the owner of the land has no money
and very little equipment.
If a series of good years follow
there is a possibility of his making
good, but not probability. If bad
years follow he is almost completely
lost. Then he either loses the land
or sells it to someone who has more
knowledge and more financial ability,
the so-called second set of settlers.
Third Set Has Money
These men generally get along in a
sort of way and generally hang on
until there is natural movement of
the land and they sell to the third
set, which comes with real money,
previous experience and not only the
the hope that they will make good,
but also the complete confidence that
they will. The third class of settlers
has already moved into some parts of
Montana and wherever this has hap
pened a corresponding degree of
prosperity and solidity is seen. Some
parts of the state are still in the
homesteader class.
No man is foolish enough to think
that he can start up a business here
in Great Falls without knowledge of
that business and without capital and
expect to make good. He is condemn
ed to failure before he starts. Taking
all this into consideration is it true
that Montana has been properly rep
resented? Has anyone the right to
say that the state is not an agricul-
tural state until it has been fairly
proven that it is not? So, repeat
as above, we have biased and un-
learned judge, a poor attorney, and
the evidence is not all in.
Dry Farming

They cannot tell me anything about

Let me ask you the question-how
do you know that John Jones and Bill
Smith are good farmers? Without
doubt they are honest and sincere
and are trying to do the best they
,an. They may have been good farm

not indicate thing in Montana. This

They believe that the fact that ever

structive element of the city will be
remembered by the voters and that
their friends will not fail to turn out
in force next Monday.

Most business men do not make
statements unless they can verify
them. On the contrary, it is quite
easy to pass along something which
we have heard and perhaps add to il
trifie, really believing down in our
heart that it is probably true, but still
not being able to prove it. A man is
innocent until he is proven guilty.
If he is charged with crime or mis-
demeanor he is entitled to trail be-

More than 25 per cent of the en-
tire state of Montana is made up of
agricultural land which can never be
irrigated. You will find the facts
proving this statement on page 7 of
the book, Irrigation in Montana" is
sued by the Railroad Commissioners
at Helena under date of December,
1920. This book shows that there
are approximately 93,000,000 acres
of land in the state of which one-third
is agricultural land. 1t further shows
that there are trifie less than 5
100000 acres, of land in the state
which are under irrigation at the
present time or can ever be irrigated
in the future. In other words, there
are more than 25,000,000 acres of
land in this state which must produce
crops by dry farming
or be used for grazing.
Three Glasses of Montanans
There are three classes of men in
Montana: those who honestly believe
that Montana is cattle state, pure
and simple that is not and cannot
be made an agricultural state, that
so called dry farming is not a success
in the state; there are those who have
not given the matter uch thought
v no dare to hope that PERHAPS some
parts of the state at least will ulti-
nately develop into agricultural sec
ions; and last of all there are those
who are firmly convinced that dry
'arming will be successful in Mon
ana. During the years 1915 and
1916 the first class kept quiet ard the
,hird class did much talking. During
he years 1917, 1917, 1919 and 1920
more decided opinions were expires

Those Who Homestead

You have the man who has failed
in the older countries, the young fell
low who wants to get a start, the
preacher, the doctor living in town
and the clerk, all taking up land be-
cause they can get it practically for
nothing, or think they can, with the
idea Of ultimately selling it and MAX
ing a profit. The major portion of
these men have absolutely no finan-
cial ability They scrape up enough
money to pay their filing fees; then
they get along some way until they
are ready to make proof on the land.
In the meantime the local mer-
chant and banker have extended
credit to them because they feel that
proof will ultimately be made and
know that the farm loan men will
come along and make loan on this

people in Montana have made any
study at all of dry farming methods.

pass judgment in the matter? There

general way is biased and without
sufficient knowledge to pass judg-

At this point would like to say
that l am in favor of irrigation for
every acre Of land possible in this

irrigated land will always be worth,

period of years the net production

of any country which has permanent
ly made good on strictly grain farm
ing. The ideal arrangement is the So
called small farm or ranch where the
owner has all of the stock he can care

history agriculturally speaking, is a
bit different as far as trials and trib-
ulations are concerned, than any
other country. think that | can
