THE EARLY N LATE
RAINS

u EPORTS from all over the
N state are most optimistic re-
garding Montana crops this year,
owing to the unusual amount OF
moisture in the ground. Somehow
or other the farmers have man.
aged to get the seed into the
ground, in spite of the lateness OF
the spring opening, and the ire
uuent rains that have fallen since
the spring did open. As usual, the
dilatory farmer is bewailing the
fact that it was impossible for him
to plant his grain seed before the
last rain, and it is impossible to
plant it now because the ground
is too wet. But in spite of these
delayed paintings we are informed
by good authority that the area OF
spring planted grain in the state IS
larger than usual now, and will be
larger still, given a few warm dry
days suitable for planting.
In spite of former adverse years
the Montana farmer as a rule has
stuck by his land and believes IN
its power to make him rich. We
are told that even in the case OF
those dry land farmers who were
compelled to abandon their and
and go elsewhere to make a living
for themselves as wage IN
the city, a large proportion OF
them are back on their land once
more to put in another crop and
take another chance of its proving
a profitable crop. Prices are not
boom prices this year, but they
promise rather better than the
average of pre-war prices and that
fact gives the farmer courage to
try once more. Added to that is
the prospect of a wet year to en-
courage him.
Certainly the soil is abundantly
soaked as we approach the end OF
May. There is plenty of snow yet
in the mountains to evaporate and
give down their moisture in June
rains" Very seldom indeed do we
fail to have abundant rains in June
in this state. 1t is July and Au-
gust that are normally dry months
in Montana. The abundant supply
of snow in the mountains lying to
an unusually late date gives hope of
the later rains that are SO bere-
ficial to the crops in July and Au-
gust, and which are often missed.
These later rains, when &c get
them, make up for a late spring.
We have noted that it is generally
after a late spring and a heavy
snow cap in the hills that we get
these later rains. We hope the
theory will again be confirmed this
year.
A bumper crop at fair prices
would 60 far to put the cap stone
on Montana business prosperity,
which is already holding up its
head and giving unmistakable signs
of renewed activity. Therefore
when we pray for good crops for
the farmer in 1922 we are in fact
praying for all classes of pro-
ducers in the state. But besides
this patent and we'll known fact,
we surely feel a sentimental solicit
tude for the farmers. many of
whom have made as brave a fight
to pay their debts and provide for
their families as did our soldiers
on the fields of France.
We have the early rains in
plenty. We have good hope of the
later rains. While a good many
other dangers to the farmers
crops besides lack of moisture
have to be encountered, yet lack
of moisture is the greatest and
most frequent danger. So the
farmer prays for the early and
later rains with good reason, and
this year with high hopes.

Indianapolis, Ind.-Twenty-one per
sons met death and more than 100
were seriously injured by wind and
electric storms In Indiana. Property
| damage was estimated at more than
81, 100000. .'.-
Railways and highways are flooded
and 1t Is believed that the death and
property toll may be higher.
Heavy ruins continued all over the
stances high winds developed into tor
nadoes, leaving death and ruin in their
wake.
Relief was rushed to the stricken
districts from here. Most of the dam
age was In rural districts. Buildings
and trees fell before heavy winds.
There was scarcely an Indiana stream
within its banks. Flood stnges equal
ing the high marks of 1913 were re-
ported from several points.
Two belts were struck by the torna-
does. In southern Indiana there was
no loss of life. North Of Indianapolis,
however, from DanvIlle, ILL.,, to Sum-
mitville, Ind, two distinct tornadOes
cnused u heavy loss of life.
Reports Of Indiana dead reaching
here were as follows:
Hedrick (Wnrren county, eight !;
| Williamsport (Warren county,, four |;
Sloan (Warren county,, two; jasper
county, one; Alexandria (Madison
county,, three; Orestes (Alndison
county,, one; one drowning at Mobiles
Vile and one drowning mt Hammond.
Irvington, Ill.-Relief workers from
Centralin and surrounding towns, In
Guiding corps of Red Cross workers,
are here caring for homeless and a
number of injured persons following
the tornado which practically erased
this town from the map. Four per-
sons are dead, and about forty others
are seriously injured, according to a
check by relief workers.
Damage caused by the tornado is
estimated at approximately 100000 in
this town Of about 100 homes and
business houses, and where the tor
nadO cut swathe through Marion,
Washington and Jefferson counties.
The scene here Is one Of desOlatiOn.
Half of the homes have been demol-
ished. A strip Of over 25 miles long
and about $50 yards wide was swept
clean by the twIster which flattened
itself to the earth and shattered every
thing In its course.
Transportation by road is practical
ly ut a standstlll due to the torreneial
rains which followed the tornado,
|. Newton, kan.-One man was killed
and damage estimated ut $250,OOO was
caused by tornado which passed
through this section Of the county.
The tornado was accompanied by 4
driving rain.
High water in the vicinity, Of the
storm also caused heavy damage.

Answer-Apparently you are labor
ing under the impression that your
list OF investments is in immediate
need OF revision, but after reading it
through. we do not share your opinion.
The Midvale bs are reasonably sound
bond, but as long as you appear to
lack confidence in them it might be
advisable to reduce your holdings when
you can do so without taking a loss.
We see no reason for disturbing the
Great Northern rs or any of your other
bonds unless you are likely to be upset
by occasional fluctuations in the mar
ket for the French bonds. On account
Of the comparatively short term of
the American Telephone SIS, we sug-
gest that you take this occasion to
exchange for a more permanent invest
ment. New York Telephone preferred
stock, paying 61z per cent and selling
around 107h, would be a suitable
substitute

Western Electric Conversion

Question: would appreciate your ad-
vice on the following: For safety first,
Electric Company convertibie gold bonds
called October !, 1892, or to convert said
bong BONDS into the per cent cumulative
value of these bonds &c. L. q.
Answer-We think the conversion Of
Your Western Electric per cent bond
into preferred stock is logical move
to make. The preferred stock, though
new and unseasoned, should prove
good investment. 1t comes ahead Of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company'g interest in the company
just as in the case Of New York Tele-
phone.

Lower Yield ON Common

Question--Please give me your opinion
on New York Dock preferred as an invest
ment. Also II there Is an explanation of
the fact that at present market prices the
preferred gives a much higher return than
the common. Is 1t possible for the pre-
ferred to be a less safe investment than
the common?--J. C. K.
Answer-We consider New York Dock
preferred stock a suitable investment
for business man or any one else in
a position to keep posted on develop
ments in the company. There is no
suggestion of the preferred being less
safe than the common, but rather a
question Of whether the common will
receive higher rate of dividend. The
preferred comes Arst as to dividends,
but 1t is limited on the amount Of divi-
dends that it can receive.
