eastern Cascade county has come back
agriculturally and Is one Of the best In
the entire state.
The Fife section this year 10 sown
largely to winter wheat and the crop
from Swift on east ia exceptionally
heavy. Cutting had just begun, and
the members Of the party had an OPP

telling their readers of their trip, they
are going to stress the wonderful
crops the saw east of Great Falls.
Hundreds of thousands are going to
read these facts and among them are
going to be many who will be so i'm
pressed that they will come to see for
themselves, and this means that at
least some of them in the not distant
future will be farming eastern Cas-

An happy incident of the excursion
occurred when the party was driving
past the Mac Campbell ranch, and
Mrs. George W. Markle of Fort Scott,
Kansas, recognized in Mrs. Campbell,
standing in her doorway, her cousin.
The recognition was mutual and the
cousins were soon in one another's en-

1914. The meeting was entirely a
chance one. neither cousin having any
idea of seeing the other Mrs. Marble

One Of the best crops, to the west of
Belt. according to those who have
viewed the grain, is large field on
the Stanley Goo ranch, which it Is
estimated will make 40
bushels to the acre. But there are
other fields of winter wheat
which will run the Goo field a close
second and very possibly some that
will equal it, while 80 bushels or better

Plan Local Farm
Exhibit and Fair

In talking IL over with number OF
the farmers and business men Of Belt
r. p. Oertli, sgriculturist Of the Belt
Valley High school, finds many in
favor Of having a local agricultural
and stock fair here at Belt this fall.
The plan is to have local fair here
about September 10 or 20; take the
best exhibits from here TO the county
exhibit at Great Falls, and the best
from there TO the state fair at Hell
e1a.
Farmers having anything OF show
calibre. and there is lots Of it in the
Belt Valley, should plan on bringing
il in for the fair here. This viii in
clude all kinds of garden products,
alfalfa, clover, tame hay, small grain
sheafs, threshed grain exhibits ten
ear samples of corn, and poultry, cat
tie, hogs, horses or sheep.
Selections Of forage samples will
have to be made almost immediately,
as well as sheafs Of winter wheat,
oats and barley, and Mr. Oerth Is
ready at any time TO go out to the
farms TO help in the selection and
proper preparation of exhibits. Leave
a call Tor him at the telephone ex-
change or look him up at the High
school. A.zs
Belt lies in as good an agricultural
section as there is in Montana, so there
is no reason why we cannot put on a
splendid exhibit. Remember the best
exhibits 20 to the state fair and q
prize winning exhibit will put Belt
and Cascade county on the map. We
cannot have a successful fair without
exhibits, SO get busy and prepare
one. Yours may be the prize winning
one, Let's 20.

indications are that the easement
OF money which developed as the tax
day approached is to be more perma-
nent in character than that expert
enced as the year opened. In banking
quarters the reduction in yield on
short term government obligations and
acceptances is regarded as most signiti-
cant of this probability. Bill rates, for
example, have been maintained at 3hs
0312 per cent throughout period Of
huctuating call money. The fact that
they have not been marked up bv deal
ers to meet the competition which the
latter phase of the situation has pre-
scented is accounted for in part by the
support extended tho market by the
Federal Reserve Bank. The liberal
character of this support. however. is
in itself a result of the improved credit
position. This Improvement has not
yet been registered by cut in the
Reserve Bank rate. As the bank takes

their loans on stocks and bonds about
