CORN is KING in
HIGHLAND COUNTY
VIRTUALLY EVERY FARMER TO
MAKE 1T CHIEF CROP
NEXT YEAR
In 1921 5000 Acres of Corn Were
Planted; in 1928 Acreage Was
$1,000; Many Carloads of Fat
Hogs Marketed This Year.

Through the efforts and the con-
structive work done by the Richland
county extension service, corn has be-
come king of all crops in Richland
county. Corn is now the standby OF
rs per cent of the farmers of the
county and it is expected that prac-
tically 100 per cent of them will place
their chief dependence upon corn in
1924.
At present market prices corn has
become a very close competitor to the
wheat crop. This year, 1928, $1,000
acres of corn have been grown and
the average yield has been between
25 and 26 bushels per acre, making
a total yield of 10000 bushels of
corn in Richland county. Compar-
ing this with the wheat crop this
season it is easy to see that within
another year a larger total number
of bushels of corn will be grown than
wheat. 1t is estimated that the 1928
Richland county wheat crop is about
10000 acres, with an average of
about eight bushels to the acre, or
a total of $4,000 bushels of wheat.
The record that has been made
with the corn crop this year is little
SuOTt OIL pu6uOu16udl WuGu IL lS COu-
sidered that in 1921, 5000 acres of
corn were grown. Those in position
to know have figured it out that the
1928 crop of corn has yielded a larger
number of bushels than all the corn
that has been grown in previous
years.
Not only are the Richland county
farmers growing lots of corn and
good corn but a large number of
splendid hogs are being produced.
The number of hogs has increased
many fold during the past three years
and this year no less than 40 car
loads of hogs will be shipped to mar
ket from the different loading points.
Already several carloads have been
sent to the Spokane markets and have
brought prices that yer very near
the top of the market.
The success of the Richland county
corn growers was consummated at
Lambert on November 10 at the Rich
land county corn show, when the
corn growers of the county brought
their best corr to compete against
each other for the laurels of the
county. AS was expected that no less
than 1000 ears of the very finest
quality was exhibited at this show.

BOOTLEG ARMY
NOW BATTALION
BOOZE BRIGADES ROUTED, RUM
KING "BUSTED" IN STATE
SAYS VAN VERT
very Few Men Now Transporting
Liquor from Canada Into Montana;
No Longer Considered Smart to
know a Bootlegger.

That Montana's once mighty army
OF b~ootleggers has shrunk to a bat
tal1on-and a battered battalion al
that's the assertion of Eugene Van
Vert, state prohibition enforcement
officer.
In an official communique the
commanding general of Montana's
squad of dry sleuths tells the world:
The booze brigade is routed. The
rum runner does not operate in Mon
tana any more. There is no rum
ring in the state now. The last year
has seen a nearly complete cessation
OF activities by men who formerly
transported liquor from Canada into
Montana.
There are several reasons for
this.
First: Police vigilance in north
ern Montana mas become more alert
and more efficient in the capture of
rum runners operating over the Can
adam line.
Second; Demand for smuggled Ii
quors has fallen away to almost moth
ing. 1t is 40 longer considered smart
to know a bootlegger or rum snug
gler. Instead of buying from boot
leggers, those who want liquor get it
from a drug store on a prescription
obtained from a physician. This legal
liquor is no more expensive than the
struggled brand, and is decidedly
safer.
Third: The prices of smuggled
liquor are prohibitive after the SNUG
gler has run the gauntlet.
These three factors have elimin-
ated the run runner-or at least cut
his operations to the point where but
a few are willing to run the risks.
The ~bootlegger, of course, like the
poor, we have with us always. He is
usually of foreign birth, and sells a
very inferior grade of moonshine to
the class of trade that will drink any
thing from nitric acid to gasoline.
"But even this formerly thriving
industry has fallen on evil days. So
many stills have been put out of
business by county authorities dur
ing the past year that few find it
profitable to stay in the game. The
fines r heavy for those caught and
convicted.
zone of the most important factors
however, causing the very great
in the liquor traffic in Mon
tana is the growing apathy on the
part of the general public toward the
purchase of liquor, whether it is
smuggled or made in someone's cell
lar. The younger generation of Mon
t~anans, in spite of conditions that
may exist elsewhere, are not much
given to drinking the poison sold for
The old soaks, of course,
still pay fancy prices for their Ii
These conditions apply throughout
Montana except in Butte, Mr.. Van
Vert says. Butte is Butte,' he re-
marked, %inferring that the mining
is in a class apart, and that the
work of amputating a miners stimu-
ant is a job beyond the powers of the
present state prohibition squad.
Havre, and Miles City, formerly
considered two of the last outposts of
ohm Barleycorn, are rapidly becom-
ng as scarce of liquor as a moon
liners hangout before an expected
aid.
