Home Made Tillage
Implements to Be

Special to The Tribune
Malta, Feb. 23.--As means Of fur
thering the summer tillage phase of
the crop improvement project the
Phillips county farm bureau is having
models of the most popular home made
tillage implement made and arrange
ments have been completed to display
sets of these models at Dodson. Malta
and Saco. 4 campaign to induce rs
many farmers in the county as possible
to make such machines for their own
use will be instituted at series of
meetings of the community crop. I'M
provcment leaders TO be held at Malta,
Dodson and Saco during the coming
week.
ARRANGEMENTS arc also being COM
pleted to hold series Of community
tillage implement demonstrations fea-
turing the home made machine. One
such demonstration. countrywide IN ma
turc, was held during the past year at
which time II machines we're demon
strated to 275 farmers. The interest
taken in this demonstration has created
demand for it's repetition during the
coming year on a community basis in
stead of on county wide basis and
featuring more strongly the home made

POTATO ORGANIZATION

THERE should not be single
potato shipped into the state
of Montana-not one.
Butte buys lot of potatoes
from Idaho and elsewhere. Great
Falls does some of the same bust
ness.
The big Montana potato has an
international reputation-still we
ship spuds in by the carload.
The Tribune thinks that the po-
tato associations now being formed
over the state will bring about a
better situation. There is no need
of praise for the Montana product.
There are only two things required
"a larger production and an &C
ceptable preparation for market.
Organized attention to the second
point mentioned ought to just about
solve the problem.
We are for Pat Carney Of Water
loo who put rile big Montana pota-
to all over the map of North Amer
lea. Many of his disciples have
kept up the good work. That was
pioneer work. It is now time to
pay attention to the medium sized
spud. Sort them and cat nothing
else.

National Commander
Conrnends Work of

Special to The Tribune.

A|Ettt-iAs - -
Havre, Feb. GA letter of com
mendation to Havre post of the Amer
lean Legion from National Commander
Hanford MacNider was received by
local officers yesterday as the result
of recent visit of State Commander
c. Thomas Busha and State Adjutant
o. c. Lamport, who reported the ex-
cellent work, spirit and activity of the
local post to the national commander
The letter says:
Your state adjutant has informed
us of your especially active committee
work of your welfare. post activities,
entertainment, public affairs, publicity
and membership committees.
1T is fine that you have the proper
kind of spirit in your post and that you
are putting so much of yourselves into
the real constructive work Of the
legion.
I'VE want to be of real service to
our communities and to the ex-service
men. 1t is this kind of inspiration
that gives us the faith and confidence
to carry on the good work

ting that the league was worse off
when it got its own men into office
than it was before. This is about
the most sensible remark we have
heard coming from Mr.. Townley in
long while. BY dropping back
along the trail he can gather plenty
Of evidence to support his humiliat-
ing admission in the capital Of Ne
braska. Surely if the league was
in worse shape after it got power
the people where it operated sure
ly were in the same fix and the
whole experiment was gall and
wormwood for all concerned.
This speech of Townley's makes
you think of Lcnine over in Russia
who thought he had some wonder
full theories Of government but
after he had tried them out finds
his people starving to death-they
have nothing to sell and no money
to buy the necessaries Of life.
These two would be leaders of
men are both the victim Of that
fallacy which is almost as old as
the world itself-that government
can produce prosperity out OF lazi-
ness and strife.

HILL FARMERS ASK
FEDERAL GUARANTEE
FOR 5 YEAR LOANS
Urge Congress to Pass Special
Act as Assurance Against
Foreclosure.
Special to The Tribune.

Havre, Feb. 23.-Resolutions to the
effect that congress pass special
act which will guarantee reasonable
rate of interest on all loans made to
farmers in the drought stricken terri
tory for period Of five years and that
the government give the farmers a rea-
sonable protection against foreclos-
ure for five years were drawn up by
q finance committee Of the Hill county
farm bureau which was appointed at a
meeting here January ~ and these res
olutions are being sent to the state
farm bureau and after being acted up
on by that organization will be for
warded to the American Farm Bureau
federation.
Ask Supervision
In addition, the committee suggested
that the secretary of agriculture be
given authority, through his represen-
tatives, to have supervision over the
conduct Of the farming business on all
farms where such guarantee and such
protection is given, and that this pro-
lection and guarantee be given only
to farmers actually residing on their
farms and conducting their farming
operations in person. The resolutions
were drawn up In view of the follow
ing facts:
1.-THE government made certain loans
to the farmers in Hill county last
spring for the purpose of buying seed.
so that another crop might be planted
and owing to the continued drought,
cutworms, hail and other causes, only
small crop has been harvested
Nearly all the farmers have prior
loans and liens from continued
drought Of five years, and unless some
means are taken for relief these mort
cages will be foreclosed and the resi-
dents now here will be rendered home
less and the country not much better
than desert waste
Less Rainfall
1.-THE rainfall has been much less
the last five years than for any like
period for the last 40 years, or as
long as records have been taken in
Hill county, and it is the honest OPP
inion of the best farmers, business
men, and bankers of Hill county, that
conditions will eventually improve.
THE county now is in critical
condition. owing to the many adverse
circum stances, principally drought
shortage of credit and large indebted
ness, most of which was made in 1918
and 1890, when large acreages were
seeded and practically nothing harvest

1T Is DIFFERENT NOW

\ NEWSPAPERS of the republican
y faith will be expected to
severely criticise President Hard
ing for the appointment of four
republicans upon the allied debt
funding commission and no demo-
Gratis. The senators who roasted
Woodrow Wilson to fare you well
many times for the appointment Of
democrats to look after war activ-
tiles will of course be silent while
the discussion is going on as to
who shall look after the money we
have coming from the allied ma
tons. a..... ....
The senate finance committee has
favorably reported the four nomi-
nations made by Mr.. Harding for
the commission Seer etarie S
Hughes and Hoover, Senator Smoot
and Representative Burton. Sem
ator Walsh of Montana has an
nounced that he will oppose the
confirmation Of Messrs. Smoot and
Burton on the ground that they
arc not eligible under the consti-
tuition to hold the office.
Perhaps it doesn't make much
difference. We do not think any
body will get away with the money.
IF, however, Mr.. Wilson had done
likewise Senator Lodge and Sena-
tor Moses would have held New
England INDIGNATION conference.

SEEK HOMESTEADS
AND WEALTH ON
LANDS Of MONTANA
Increase in Inquiries by De-
partment of Agriculture
Sign Spring Is Near.

Helena, Feb. 23.-Here's another in
Gication of spring, vouched for by the
state department of agriculture as be
ing more reliable sign Of new sea
son than is the appearance Of the first
robin to most folk or the first hobo
to the railroad policeman. It's the
prospective homesteader.''
According to Chester G. Davis. com
missioner Of the department Of agri-
culture, this 'fhomesteader'' seldom
travels beyond the prospective stage.
He is usually an urbanite who, after
four or five months Information in
steamheated apartment, under the
mellowing influence Of few spring
like days, thinks he feels the call Of
| the great outdoors. A roseate fancy
conjures picture of a homestead In
the west, and on his first idle evening
this prospective homesteader" takes
| his pen in hand and writes for inforn1a-
ton.
Inquiries Increase
In the past three weeks, according TO
Mr.. Davis, there has been a marked
increase in the homestead inquiries re-
| ceived by the state department.
THE ideas Of most of the inquirers,
said Mr.. Davis, "are hazy concerning
demonstrating, as well as agriculture,
and, judging from the paternal assist
| ance many of them expect from west
ern communities. their pocketbooks
might encompass the price of q railroad
ticket one way, but that's ALL
Here's a fair sample: Il am writing

ing in Montana. | want complete in

ment will do for me. | want the best
proposition 1 can get and would like
the information as soon as possible.
If the proposition suits would like to
take up claim around the LIST of April.
Does the government equip a man
with farming tools and stock until he
gets started? How much land is al
lowed? Hoping to hear from you in
the very near future etc.
The state department of agriculture
advises these inquirers that. accord
General Land Office, there were 5.720,-
125 acres of public land vacant in Mon
tana July /. 1921, and then gives
general description of the land in each
of the 10 land districts of the state.
1t continues:
Paint No Rosy Picture
There is little good land left in
Montana that is open to homestead en-
try, but it lies in most instances 40
miles to 100 miles from the railroad
and the cost Of marketing crops that
distance would eat up all the profits.
To make success on such farm
man would require livestock. The per
son that has the money with which to
buy livestock could do better by leas-
ing, renting or buying a farm closer to
the railroad"
All of which, states Commissioner
Davis. goes to show that Montana is
not painting any beautiful picture of
opportunities in the state, but is simply
telling the truth to all those who in
quire.

IN SPITE OF the fact that the
electors Of Montana did not
approve Of the proposed issue Of
irrigation bonds, and the further
circumstance that the legislature
Of Montana did not have time to
make much needed revision Of its
irrigation code, there is consider
able satisfaction in observing that
twelve projects organized under
the state law have already sold
bonds and that thirty-five others
are under way.
This report from the state COM

they are willing to put their acre
age over against the money to dig
the bitches. This effort is being
