The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1923-03-15
BASED ON EXPERIENCE

| This train is the result of the Farm
Success survey conducted by M. l..
Wilson in Choteau, Hill, Liberty and
Toole counties, which is recognized
as about the most arid portion of Mon
tana. In that section small per
cent of the farmers are found to be
making good labor incomes. This
was attributed to the fact that each
of these successful farmers had
adapted himsesl to the climate thro
some particular method of tillage, or
cultivation, diversifcation or labor
saving device. All of these will be
demonstrated by the train.
M. L. Wilson, who conducted this
survey, will be in charge of the train
and will give an illustrated lecture in
each town which will demonstrate
and explain certain fectors which
cannot be carried by the train.
Should See 1t Regardless
Farmers have come hundreds of
miles from inland sections and even
across the international boundary to
look at and study the things shown.
1t is believed that even if farmers
are in the field at the time the train
visits the county it will be very
good investment to knock off and take
it in.
This train is put on by the Montana
Extension service while the Great
Northern is furnishing the cars and
transportation.
Every effort is being made to get
the train to go as far east as Balm
vile, which will give farmers of the
Bainville community and east to the
Dakota line an opportunity of seeing
it.
Urged to Come Early
The train will arrive at each town
about 1000 o'clock in the morning,
thus allowing farmers to visit the
cars in the forenoon and attend the
meeting in the afternoon. 1t con-
sists Of two carloads of home and
factory made tillage implements,
having one Of practically all OF the
leading machines in successful use
and those interested in the construc-
ton of cheap and efficient home
made tillage implements or the pur-
chase of factory made machines will
find it we'll worth their while to visit
the train for this purpose alone.
The third car consists of passenger
coach with the seats removed and
contains a number of built-in booths
each booth telling a story of its own
and emphasizing such points as
shelter belts, poultry houses, SOIL
blowing, dry land irrigation, summer
fallow, weather records, the fur
.ow drill" the large horse hitch, the
