" HE MONTANA State depart
ment of Agriculture, Labor anC
Industry in it's report, divides
the state for purposes of description
into nine sections as follows: South
east, south central, southwest, cas-
central, central, west central, north
east, north central and northwestern
Included herewith is a brief sketch
of each section in which attention is
called to the resources and possible
tiles of each. With a population o.
only 3.8 persons to the mile, no Mon
tana county is overcrowded.
The chief needs of the state are
said to be ''men and money" men
who understand western farming me-
thods, and capital to develop the
states tremendous natural resources.
Opportunities in innumerable lines
present themselves to everyone who
has the intelligence to perceive and
the means to embrace them.
Southeastern Section.
The southeastern section is chiefly
noted for stock raising and non-irri-
gated farming. 1t is one of the lead
ing corn districts and has large coal
fields but lack of general rail facil-
lLlO5 udN0 nlnQClOd
This section includes the counties
of Carter, Fallon, Custer, Powder Ri
yer, Rosebud, Treasure, and Big
Horn.
In the days of the trail herds,
southeastern Montan was one of the
most noted stock districts of the
northwest, and stock raising still con-
tinues to be the leading industry.
Except in the Yellowstone and Big
Horn valleys, non-irrigated farming
is the dominant method Of agricul-
ture.
The one-crop system has prevailed,
but in recent years corn, to which the
region is well adapted, has been in
%troduced, and the acreage devoted to
it, is rapidly increasing.
Most of the southern half of the
district is handicapped by lack of
railroad facilities.
Considerable alfalfa seed is raised.
In the irrigated districts of Rosebud,
Treasure and Big Horn counties, SUI
gar beets are grown. In Rosebud
and Treasure watermelons and GU
cumbers, and in Powder River county
pop corn are receiving attention.
The largest coal measures of the
state underlay this district, and it is
the leading producer of natural gas.
Oil in commercial quantities has been
found in the western part where
there is also considerable undevel-
oped hy~dro-electric power and big
deposits of gypsum.
The growing season ranges from
120 to 145 days and the elevation
from 1890 to 5000 feet.
Central Section.
Originally a mining and stock
region, central Montana,
which extends from the Muselshel1
on the east to the crest of the
continental divide on the west, and
includes the counties of Fergus, Pc

Commissioner Oyster has written
to Blair making the same request.
II don't understand the delay In

I'VE want to enforce the Voistead
act here and we feel we are
entitled to cooperation by Federal
authorities. We do not seem to be
getting much help. for 1t is more
than q month since i first asked
for more authority for our men.
Il believe a number Of our men
should be given the same authority
as Federal agents. Under present
conditions, our policemen must first
call in prohibition officers before
making liquor cases. This should
not be necessary.
Seeks Complete Power.
why not let our men make
their own Investigations and ar
rests? Calling Ii Federal officers
Is only a matter Of complying WITH
regulations. 1t means nothing. II
does not make the case a better
one. Let US have complete au
