the light of national forecasts, combined with probable trend of prices,
the state occupies a significant position. The rapid progress made by
the state in the last few years is but added evidence of the greater
prosperity the future will bring, he asserted.
Montana is within 100000 bushels of equeing the wheat record
of Illinois, the second in wheat production" said Mr. Davis, "and l
believe that in ten years we will lead all the states with this crop. Since
1909, Montana has advanced from 23rd to fifth place in wheat raising,
and since 1910 from third from the bottom to 18th from the bottom in
corn raising. No better illustration could be given of the shift that
is being made in Montana's relation to the agricultural scheme.
Change In Method
Diversiication has abruptly changed conditions within the state
and the best evidence of the shift is found in corn and cattle. We had
10000 head of cattle one year ago, and now we have in excess of
butter produced and in 1928 an increase Of 50 per cent was noted, a
total of lOy5OWO pounds being the output from 90 creamer1es.
In 1900 we had 900 acres of corn and in 1928 there were 365OOO
acres. This year we will have in excess of 100000 acres of corn. The
production will be more than 100000 bushels and may reach A.
100000 or 100000 bushels. Last year we had our greatest total
production of foodstuffs"
Mr.. Davis said that other states are having greater agricultural
difficulties than in Montana. He mentioned one Iowa county where
So farmers abandoned their places last year. Land there sold for 800
an acre that would not have been bought for $3.50 an acre in 1920. The
low price of land in Montana is an advantage to the state, Mr. Davis
believes.
More than 20 per cent of the cash income from crops in Montana
is from wheat, and 90 per cent of this crop is from unirrigated land
that is not fitted to compete in the production of dairy products.
Best Wheat in Nation
eve grow the best wheat in the nation" the speaker declared
"In 1920, 1921 and 1922, seventy-five per cent of Montanas wheat
graded No. ], while the general average of the state was IS per cent
More than 81 per sent of our cultivated land is cropped to wheat, so we
must figure that crop as a substantial unit. The prospects for 1924
are excellent. 1t is easy to grow more corn than can be fed to stock,
so we must be careful to balance our crops"
Mr.. Davis declared that Montana has shown the world that it can
produce abundantly and after the elimination process gone through
in the last five years, Montanas farmers rank high in the science of
agriculture. Farmers now occupying land in the state are permanently
located, he said.

formed the officers who arrested him
near Radnor, two miles from Kalis-
pell. His new Cadillac car and rs
cases of whiskey were siezed.
The arrest was made by Federal
officers Herrick, MINIS and DeCray,
who lodged the prisoner in the county
Jail here and took the car and its car
go on to Missoula.
Direct information was filed,
charging him with transporting Ii
quor. He entered a plea of guilty and
sentenced by Judge Pomeroy to
serve so days in the county Jail and
pay a fine of $500.
Asqeta told the officers that he has
always been a sheepherder, at which
occupation he had saved $4,000 which
he decided to invest in a b~ootlegging
enterprise as furnishing quicker and
larger profits. He bought his car and
proceeded to Canada, bought his first
cargo and was nabbed before he had
opportunity to market a single
case.

DENTAL CLINIC
IN BEAVERHEAD
FIRST EFFORT IN STATE TO
CARE FOR TEETH OF
RURAL CHILDREN
Educational films will be shown H.
Illustrating proper methods for the
care of teeth; School authorities

!, The first dental clinic organized t,
care for the teeth of rural school chill
dren in Montana or in any northwest
ern state began it's function in Beav
erhead county this month. This an.
nouncement was made recently by
Miss Aagot Liam, county nurse fol
Beaverhead county.
This clinic, according to Miss Liam,
marks the organization of n of the
most outstanding public-health move
ments to be established in Montana.
sit has long been known that the care
of the teeth and their general condi-
ton affect the health and develop
ment of the child more than any 9TH
er one thing" Miss Liam said and
added that it was most encouraging
to know that rural children will have
equal advantages in dental care with
their fellows in the city schools.
School Districts Help
Miss Liam, who has been working
in Beaverhead county for several
years, stated that public-health werk
in the schools has moved forward de-
llllJGly. ln6 ISaIlAdLlOn VI LAO dSA-
tai clinic, which has the support and
cooperation of the various school
districts, she cited as proof of her
statement. She said that parents and
the public in general r beginning
to appreciate the benefits to be de-
rived for their children by having
their teeth properly cared for. Tonsil
and adenoid clinics have already been
established in Beaverhed county and
Miss Liam stated that many of the
children have gained as much as Is
pounds in weight and that their men
tai development, which was often re-
tarded by their condition, has gone
forward proportionately. Similar re-
suits are expected from proper care
of the children's teeth, she said.
Will Carry Equipment
Equipment for these clinics has
been given by interested dentists, sew
eral of them being from out of county
cities. 1t will be carried to the clinics
in the different districts by Miss Liam,
who covers her territory in a Ford
car. The first clinic will be held at
Jackson June 16. Others will be held
this summer. Approximately 400
children will have the attention of
DR.. H. G. Farrell, who will conduct
the clinics. At the beginning of the
school year statistics showing the i'm
provement in general health and in
school work will be kept in order
that a practical demonstration of the
value of the dental are may be avail
able. Following each clinic meetings
will be held for the showing of edu-I
cational films illustrating the teeth
and their uses and how they should
be cared for. A feature film will be
shown in connection with these in
ORDER to attract large audiences.

MONTANA BEST OF ALL
SAYS BILLINGS OPTIMIST

"Thepeople of Butte do not appre-

George, former state senator, former
mayor of Billings and delegate elect
to the democratic national conven-
ton.
II have been four times across the
country" MI. George said, land I do
not speak lightly when I say that no
town of like size in the country hasas
good a payroll or as fine business
advantages as Butte. Take San Die
go, it has $4,000 population and it's
payroll is not as large as that which
Butte enjoys.

larger than Butte which do not have
the business that Butte enjoys"

this state.

revival in farming and of great pros

the tracks were once more found be-
low the point where it was thought
they had fallen into the river, and
from this place tracking was not so
difficult. Arriving at the Little
Crooked store the boys were found
apparently none the worse for their
long pilgrimage through one of the
widest sections of northern Fergus
county, and nearly 40 miles from
their home. How the little chaps man
aged to make this long trip through
broken country infested with
wolves and coyotes without meeting
with any sort of mishap appears to
border on the miraculous.
