FOR FORD FERTILIZER

While President Harding is strain

Michigan millionaire, the objectors
coHterdiHg that the government sell
it all, provides certain capital for the
enterprise for a long period OF time
aud at low interest, and obtains no
guarantees from the purchaser.
It is absurd to suppose that Ford
proposes to invest his millions in an
enterprise and then let it stagnate.
The best guarantee the farmers feel
they have, is the fact that Mr. Ford
is nearing his sixieth year and that
his only reward now can come in
honor and in service, and not in the
accumulation of additional wealth.

OVER "a MILLION
in RECLAMATION
THAT AMOUNT HAS BEEN Elk
PENDED ON SEVEN PROJECTS
WITHIN THE STATE
Greatest Need of the State is More
Practical Farmers Who Will Make
Lands Productive, According to
G. j. Blanchard of the United
States Reclamation Service.

G. J. Blanchard, chief statistician
of the United States reclamation SER
vice, has recently returned from a
western inspection trip during which
he visited Montana, where he spent
considerable portion of his time.
Mr.. Blanchard, whose experience in
land reclamation by irrigation is well
known, and whose reputation as a
land economist is national, is very
optimistic over the agricultural pos
sibilities of Montana.
According to Mr.. Blanchard, Mon
tana has been one of the largest bene-
ficiaries in the investment of gov
eminent funds for reclamation of any
state in the Union.
up to June 80, 1922, gross total
of $24,614,135 has been spent in the
four primary and three Indian prof.
ects," he said. During the period
of construction the expansion and de-
velopment of the valleys included in
these projects we're marked. The
population of the cities, towns and
villages doubled and quadrupled I'M
til it outgrew that of the country.
Need Divers1fication
1.-THE greatest present need of the
state is more practical farmers who
will take these large holdings, now
untitled, and make them produce.
For quarter of century her agri-
culture has been extensive. 1t must
be made diversified, with proper crop
rotation and more attention to dairy
ing. The millions of dollars contri-
buted by the state annually for dairy
and meat products, for canned goods
of all kinds, If expended in the pro-
ducts of Montana farms, would slim
ulate agriculture amazingly and put
it on a firm footing.

1.-THE state of Montana has no more
important problem before it than OF

manless land and by wise counsel and
