rounding Wolf Point is especially
famous for its production of the
very finest of milling wheats,
which are high in gluten and pro-

was sold for $1.731a which leaves
the net price to Mr.. Lowers of $1.52

with so many hard-luck stories about
Montana farm conditions, that when
the sub-marginal land question came
up for consideration, they naturally
turned to Montana. They spent
two or three weeks making first
hand investigation, talking with
farmers and bankers and specialists
from the agricultural college. They
reached the conclusion that agricul-
ture in Montana is not confronted
with sub-marginal land problem,
but rather one of adapting farm me-
thods to Montana conditions In ev-
cry district they visited they found
farmers who had successfully made
this adaptation and we're thriving.
Montana has just begun to grow.
Less than a fifth of it's tillable agri-
cultural lands are under the plow,
and yet it holds second place for
spring wheat production. Wheat for
many years to come will be the major
farm crop, but within the last year
or two there has been marked trend
towards diversification. Inside of 19
years corn has increased from $4,000
to more than 100000 acres and is
putting cattle and hogs on the farms.
just Beginning to Grow.
In other ways besides agriculture,
Montana has just begun to grow.
The largest user per capita of cleo
tricity in the country, with one-tenth
of the nations water-power within its
borders, only Is per cent has been
developed. Only two other states ex-
eel 1t in coal reserves. Montana has
the most valuable sapphire mines in
the world and the largest reserves of
manganese and chromite in the I'm
tied States. 1t has two proven oil
fields. 1t has iron deposits in close
proximity to coal, limestone and ell
ectr1c power 1t has all the resources
to furnish raw and process materials
for many industries. Only its copper,
zinc and silver have thus far re-
ceiyed attention.
AS the Pacific Northwest grows,
as the markets of the Orient expand,
these varied treasures of Montana
Will be drawn upon and developed.
In the meantime, the state has one
quick cash asset, which hitherto has
been neglected-its tourist attract
tons and its hunting and fishing. In
the variety and size of national parks
within its borders, Montana again
nolds first place. Dude ranches and
hunting lodges that are springing I'D
and receiving eastern patronage are
evidence this asset will be realized
upon It's increasing measure.

HIGH PROTEIN WHEAT, CORN AND HOGS BRING
PROSPERITY TO THE WOLF POINT TERRITORY

This enormous expansion in corn
growing is self-evident fact of
the prosperity and intelligent, pro-
gressive spirit of the Roosevelt
county farmer.
Development of Swine Breeding.
A hog show held in connection
with the recent corn exposition
served to emphasize some startling
facts concerning the growth of the
hog industry in Roosevelt county.
The developments in hog raising
have been almost as rapid as the
expansion of the corn acreage.
Roosevelt county in 1921 did not
ship single carload of hogs. The
year 1922 witnessed the shipment
of but four carloads of the ham
and bacon producers. In 1928
about fifty cars Of hogs were ship
ped, and in 1924 when the season is
over, the total will have increased

The Real Farm Problem.

Professor Ely, the foremost au-

economics, came to Montana several
months ago with several associates,
to make study of sub-marginal
lands. They had never been in the
state before, but had been RECALLED

cruing from this industry to be
velvet" There is very little labor
attached to their raising owing to
the simple methods that are effect
i've in the Roosevelt county clinl-
ate. Many local farmers increased
their bank rolls over $1,000 in a
year from hogs alone, and they all
state that it is the easiest money
that they have ever made.
D. B. Noble, county agent for
Roosevelt county, with offices at
Wolf Point, has contributed great

less than it needs more people. 1t is
| idle to develop our vast areas of till
able land unless we concurrently de-
velop our industrial resources. They
should balance and supplement each
other that both may prosper most.
We have the resources for the de-
velopment and maintenance of a doz-
en- cities in Montana like Butte.
Sometimes / think we do not appre-
ciate what Butte means in the way of
home market to our farmers. It
takes 1000 cows to furnish it's daily
fluid milk supply, and another 1895
COWS to furnish the butter it eats
daily. 1t keeps $4,000 laying hens
busy to furnish it with eggs for one
day. Its consumption of chickens is
600 daily, and every year it consumes
the equivalent of a herd of 5,4OO
head of beef cattle. Butte's sweet
tooth will account for the product Of
many an acre of sugar beets. The
most successful potato growers in
Montana over a period of years have
been those supplying the Butte mar
ket. Many an acre of wheat has
found a market in the bread baked
for Butte consumption. Think of
what this home market multiplied
dozen times would mean to Mon
tana agriculture.
] think it is fact seldom appre-
hended that the development of in
dustry in Montana means more to
the farmers Of this state, than any
other form of growth. The bring
ing of more acres under the pillow
and the establishment of new farms
benefits the city consumer, not the
country producer. What the farm
er needs is more city consumers,
right here in Montana. The shorter
the haul to market, the larger is the
the farmer receives of the
dollar.
So this is campaign for "men and
money" to attract capital as we'll as
people, to tie in with the national adj
campaign of the Northern
Pacific, the Great Northern and Bur
lington railroads that is featuring
Montana during December.
The Crop of 1924.
No better time could have been Sc !
ected. The 1924 crop is not only
one of the largest but alos one of the |
most profitable in the states history. |
Some districts, because of unusual |
climatic conditions, did not share in
his good fortune, but the state as
whole has had profitable year.
Montana is on a firm financial |
now and ready to go
head. Let me give you some facts
hat testify to the magnitude of it's
economic recuperation.
Two Montana bankers were re-
emily discussing the liquidation that
las taken place in the state since the
'eak of December, 1919, having in
mind not the liquidation of insolven-
y but that taken care of by the pro-
uction of new wealth.
After considerable deliberation.
ne of the bankers ventured the as
ertion that $27,500,000 of old debts
ad been liquidated in an orderly
manner. The second banker insisted
he statement was too extravagant:
hat not more than SIS, 100000 had
cen applied on old debts. Unable
0 agree, they called upon R. E.

Liouidated $50, 100000 Debts.

| CATION brought to light astonished
everybody. Since the peak of Dec

They do not include any cattle pa

of this $55,000,000 represents the
proceeds of reduced inventories. 1t
is all new wealth created since the
debts were contracted-new wealth
in the form of wool, lambs, wheat,
sugar beets, beans, flax, butter and
other farm products.
These past few years while the
spectators, the economic gamblers,
and the faint-hearted, were busy
pulling up stakes and carrying the
word abroad that Montana had gone
to the dogs, the real banker, the ex-
perienced farmer and the conserva-
tive merchant were busy. They took
a reef or two in their belts, spat up
on their hands, and went at it.
Federal Reserve Loans Repaid.
The loans by the Helena branch of
the Federal Reserve bank of Min
neapolis tell the story of how dill
gently and successfully they worked.
A burden of s13,000,000 the bank
carried five years ago has been re-
duced to 100000 today, exclusive
- In oil hor
duction of between 10 and IL million
dollars.
The farmer has had no margin of
income beyond the barest necessities
until this year. In 1922 and in 1923
his crop money was applied on old
debts. In 1924 Montana raised the
biggest and most profitable wheat
crop in its history. 1t cost but little
in cash to grow and has commanded
a good price. AS a result in many dis /
tricts, farmers loans have been ex-
and supplanted by farm
ers' deposits.
The financial fabric of Montana to-
day rests upon solid foundation. 1t
Is ready for an era of genuine pros
perity. The wildcat bankers and the
get-rich-quick farmers are gone. The
unprecedented, unfavorable climatic
that beset Montana imme-
diately before deflation have not re-
turned.
Should they return, however, Mon
tana agriculture will be far better
to cope with them than it
was in the past. Agriculturally, |
Montana is new state. Less than
decade ago the homestead movement !
was at high tide. The men who came
IN then with the intention of Great |
ng new homes for themselves and |
heir families are for the most part
still on the job. They have adjusted
heir farming methods to Montana
conditions and will win out. The
others who came imbued with the
dea of making quick turn in land,
IT a trip to California every winter
IN wheat, are gone.

ITCH" SAID TO
 BE DUE TO SHAVED NECK

PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 5.-More bothersome style nuisances than fur chokers are encircling the necks of Pittsburg flappers this summer, ac- cording to Chief of Police Surgeon Doniel Sable.
 "Flapper Itch" is the newest trou- ble to locate on or about the part of the neck just below where the young girls brain is supposed to be, and Dr. Sable asserts it's getting seri- ous.
 The malady-which has affected hundreds of women, particularly girls of high school age-was dis covered by Dr. Sable while he was on vaccination duty. It is caused by frequent neck shaving required for the perfect bobbed-hair effect. Flap pers' rash is another name for it.
 The tender skin of young girls shaving
 is severely affected by frequent shaving Dr. Sable declared. "The only cure is to discontinue shaving, and most girls, particularly brun- nettes, refuse to accept this cure"
 The rash has been called to the attention of scientists at John Hop kirs hospital, Dr. Sable said.

IOWA CRIME WORST
 IN STATES HISTORY

WATERLOO, Ia., Sept. B. The criminal annals of Iowa today failed to reveal parallel for the crime by which ix-year-old Nicholas Mahar- ies was thrown into the Cedar river to drown by his step-mother, Mrs. Marie Maharies, because, according to her signed confession, she "hated the boy and wished to hang for the murder" rather than commit an of ten contemplated suicide.
 The authorities refused to believe Mrs. Maharies when she told them the other day she killed her step son but with the finding of Nich- olas' today the theory that Mrs. Ma haries was demented was discarded and a charge of first degree murder was brought against her.
 The county prosecutor said he would ask the death penalty.
 In custody in the county jail, Mrs. Maharies maintained a stolid indif- ference since she made her comics sion but yesterday when she was told Nicholas body had been found, an expression of jubilance crept into her face and she consented to eat a light lunch-the first since Thursday. She said she was "glad she had been proved truthful"
 The story of Nicholas staying, as told by Mrs. Maharies' confession is one of cunning and of carefully laid plans. She told how her 'ex- treme hatred for her stepson, coupled with her wish to end her life had led her to plot the staying of Nicholas in the hope that she would not only vent her desire to rid herself of him but also to be put to death for the crime. She told how she had selected, after several trips to the river, a deep spot and then lured the boy there on the pre- text that she would allow him to go wading.
 Boy Was Happy.
 The boy apparently was jubilant over his stepmother's unusual kind ness and went with her clad only in blue overalls, without stockings or shoes. When they reached the river, Mrs. Maharies said she woed into the river twice to test with a stick the depth and finding a spot sufficiently deep, she lured the boy away from the bank. Then she all lowed the boy to pass in front of her and while she, with seeming nonchalance, threw stones into the water, she waited until the boy had reached the perilous position and then gave the thrust which sent Nic- holas to his death, the signed confes- sion related.

NATIVES ALARMED AT
 RIVER OF MUCK


SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. 5.-A veritable river of mud, boulders and ashes extending to half mile from a few hundred yards, in some places from 15 to 20 feet deep, is flowing from the mouth of Mud Creek canyon s miles above McCloud on the slope of Mt. Shasta into the McCloud riv- CT says dispatch to the Sacramento Bee. McCloud is in Siskiyou county, about 250 miles from Sacramento.
 Boulders of great weight are being carried toward the river in thick streams, the like of which has never been seen before in the McCloud sec tion and the origin is a mystery, the dispatch declares.
 Old residents, students of Mt. Shasta's formation, blame the phe- nomenon on glacier, the only one the McClould slope of Mt Shasta which is situated near the peak of an extinct volcano and which had been exposed to the sun because of the dearth of snow.
 They are convinced that portion of the glacier has broken loose, slip ped down the slope and is now melt ing rapidly.
 Sweeping past McCloud at point three miles distant, the mass broke the pipes of McCloud's water supply and for two days the inhabitants were forced to depend upon the railroad tank cars for drinking wa ter, the Bees advices stated.
