bonding, but after expanding $780,
600 the first year in construction
work many of the land owners being
unable to raise the money to COM
plete the job, because of the drop in
farm produce, it was found neces-
sary to bond.
While seeking a market for the
bonds, which took over a year before
they could finally be disposed of, the
local banks, believing in irrigated
agriculture, advanced the officers of
the district $4,000 on personal notes
and later about $4,000 was raised
by sale of the early maturity bonds
to local parties, thus making it pos
sible for the work to go steadily on.
The bonds of the district bear 6 per
CEN interest and the annual tax levy
to cover operation and maintenance
and interest on bonds has been 81 per
acre. Beginning 1927 and each year
thereafter for 20 years an additional
levy of SIS cents an acre is provided,
for a sinking fund to pay off all the
bonds, but a reduction of 8 1-2 cents
per acre each year will result on the
interest levy. Delinquent taxes in
this district have ben less than 10
per cent since the district was or
ganized, and interest coupons have
always been paid off promptly.

to incorporate a canal company to
build a system to cover some OF the
upper Milk river lands. This was
done, the settlers going out n do

was the beginning of the Belknap

In 1921 it was decided by the COM
pany to issue $4,000 of bonds TO
build seven miles more of ditch and
to generally improve and bring the

Indian reservation is interesting the
indian farmers in growing sugar
beets, and as the reservation com
prises some of the best land in the
valley, it is expected with this coop
GRAFTON an easy matter to secure the
necessary acreage to interest some
sugar company in the valley.
There will be a large acreage
planted to flax this year, around Eur
ich, alone more than 1000 acres of
virgin soil has been broken up I'M
der the new Zurich ditch, and it
would seem in every nook and cor
ner of the valley farming activity is
apparent. Potatoes will be ex-
tensively raised here this year, and
already commission merchants from
the east have been in the valley
checking up the acreage and what is
likely to be produced, so they can
estimate in carload lots in the fall.
Dairying is also a. important in
dustry in the valley and steadily
growing, because the farmer has an
assured and steady income.
Hogs and Poultry
The fact that Blaine county ship
OuL Ii Cdlo VI AOSo Ill IL nO1IuS
shows that hog raising is beginning
to be a paramount factor in diver
sified farming. Poultry raising should
also be chronicled for it is not un-
usual to see a large flock of the
best breed of chickens running
around the farmstead. A large num-
Der of turkeys from the valley were
to the eastern and western
markets last year and excellent
prices were realized. Some of the
farmers are going to raise from $50
to 1900 turkeys this year and ex-
pect to have no trouble in market
ing them.
To sum up the situation in the
upper Milk river valley, it is in bet
.er shape than ever before, that is,
it from the standpoint of the
natural and ability to pro-
duce, and the Chinook Commercial
club feels that the most important
thing at this time is cooperation for
the m interest of all and if the
farmer will keep right on the way
be has now started, this valley will
come into an era of greater pros
perity and we'll being than it has
ever known in the past.

MILK RIVER IRRIGATED AREA is NUCLEUS
OF WELL ESTABLISHED FARMING SECTION

"HE NATURAL RESOURCES of
the upper Milk River valley have
not been impaired by the serious
reverses suffered here the last few
years due to drouth, but on the con-
trary have been stimulated and are
more highly developed this year, be-
cause of the lessons learned from this
very grave misfortune. So, the Chi
nook Commercial Club is finding out
in checking up the business health of
this section of the country.
The agricultural conditions never
looked better than at the present
time. Better farming methods are
being employed by every farmer in
the valley and the younger genera
tion the farms are also taking a
lively interest in the raising of hogs,
corn and beans due to the club work
among the young people, and the at
tractive prizes offered by the Chi
nook banks. The old pioneer settle
ments with their primitive farming
methods virtually have disappeared
from the valley and thousands of
acres of bluejoint meadows are now
under cultivation and put in to Gull
tivated crops, or flax and grain.
The upper Milk River valley en-
braces an area as far west as Lob
man and as far east as Dodson dam,
covering approximately $4,000 acres
of highly productive irrigable land,
In this valley are five irrigation dis
tricts known as the Belknap, Alfalfa.
Zurich, Harlem and Paradise.
History
The Belknap is the oldest irriga-
tion district and since 1891 has been
important to this section of the state,
for from 1891 to 1910, its irrigated
fields were able to furnish potatoes
and garden vegetables to the towns
as far east as Glagow, until that part
of the country vas able to produce
sufficiently for it's settlers. Alfalfa
in this early period was extensively
grown and shipped to Great Falls,
Helena, Butte and sometimes as far
west as Spokane.
This irrigation district was named
after Fort Belknap, which was es-
tablished in 1874, as a government

tion. L.. V. Bogy, the present secre-
tary of the company has been either
the t%reasurer or secretary of the
organization since it started, COW
ering a period of 35 year, and has
seen this country thrown open to en-
try, and developed from it's natural
state to a vast acreage of highly pro-
ductive soil.
The Paradise irrigation district
was organized in 1920 and embraces
1880 acres of irrigable land on the
south side of the Milk river, being
all the irrigable land between Chi
nook and the FIT. Belknap Indian re-
servation. It's main canal is about 18
miles long and the district has con-
structed laterals to each 160 acre
tract. The cost of construction of
dam, headgates, siphons, fumes,
main bitches and laterals was $780,
900 of which $4,000 was paid by
the land owners in cash or labor dur
ing the construction period and
Work on this was commenced in
September, 1919, and it was intended
at that time to do the work without

agency, the site of which is on the
Milk river about two miles south Of
Chinook. This whole section was ther
an indian reservation extending from
the Dakota line on the east, the Mar
las river on the west, the Missouri
river on the south, and the Cana
dian border on the north.
In 1887, the Great Northern Rail
road was built through the northern
part of Montana, running the entire
length of the reservation. In May,
1888, SO years ago, the greater part
of the upper milk river valley was
thrown open to entry.
The Empire Ranch
In 1889, a man by the name of T.
E. Burns from the Gallatin valley
came to Chinook with others and &C
quired three sections of land in the
valley northwest of Chinook, now
known as the Empire ranch. He built
a dam and some bitches and diverted
water from the Milk river for irriga-
ton and raised a bountiful crop. In
1891, the season being dry, the rail-
way company enjoined him from TAX
ing water from the Milk river, claim
ing they would not have enough wa
ter for their enjines. The case was
tried in court and Burns won out, the
railway company being forced to pay
for the crop raised in 1891. About
that time Burns realized that he was
not able financially to carry out his
irrigation program alone and pro-
posed to a few settlers in the valley
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-06-12

in this section. In fact the agricul-
turaI conditions never looked better
in the whole valley than at the pres
ent time. The sugar beet industry
promises considerable expansion.
This interest has been stimulated by
the beets grown here last year, some
of the fields yielding over 20 tons to
the acre.
c.. H. Barnes of the water COM
mission has stated to the Chinook
Commercial club that fully 800 acres
this year will be put into sugar beets
in the vicinity of Chinook and Har-
lem, $500 to 1000 acres planted to
cultivated crops, and this acreage
