During the fiscal year ending
June 80, II high schools in Mon
tana conducted officially accredit-
ed Smith : Hughes agricultural
courses and received federal re-
endorsement, according to the an
nual report of M. j. Abbey, SUPER
visor of agricultural education in
Montana. These II high schools
complied with state and federal
regulations for conducting such
courses and the whole of the
expenses of carrying on such work
was paid by the federal govern
ment.
Mr.. Abbey reports that a number
of other high schools in the state
have applied for Smith-Hughes de-
partments under his supervision but
that a lack Of funds will make it i'm
possible to extend the work for the
coming year.
There were All pupils enrolled in
the various courses in the Smith
Hughes work last year and during
last winter lab farm folks attended
the short courses held by these II
schools. In many places unit courses
were held, in which special emphasis
was placed upon some single farm
activity such as dairying, cattle feed
ing, pure seed production, etc. There
were 81 of such courses held, at
tended by 1886 people. At most of
the schools farmers short courses
were held during the slack seasons
and 1891 people attended these
meetings. A total of 379 other meet
ings were held by the agricultural
instructors and these were attended
by over $4,000 farm people. Var

Introduction of beans on a large
scale on the Waller Project is ex-
pected to follow a recent investiga-
ton into results from that crop in
the Billings irrigated territory by
r.. w. Spier and u. G. Shue of
Waller. Mr. Spier and Mr.. Shue
each will plant 40 acres of beans
next year, basing their expecta-
tons of success on the similarity
of growing conditions in the Waller
and Billings districts.
Observations of the local men in
the Billings bean district we're given
return:
1--WE found that bean growing has
increased largely in the last few
years and, judging from the road OBJ
servation, the bean acreage seems to
be nearly as large as that devoted to
sugar beets. Beans are recognized
generally as a clean up crop for foul
land. Summer fallow is not prac-
ticed at all on the irrigated land. We
failed to see a single acre in summer
fallow, beans and sugar beets, gen
the former, being used as a
substitute. In addition to cleaning
up the land, the bean is a legum-
nous plant and places nitrogen in
the soil, which sugar beets do not. 1t
was stated to us several times that
a grain crop after beans, other things
being equal, will yield more heavily
than on beet land.
1--WE called on Martin Curtis,
about eight miles west of Billings,
who had in 140 acres of Great Nor
.hern beans and 40 acres of alfalfa.

FENDER SMASHED WHEN AUTO
COLLIDES WITH YOUNG DEER

Deer are becoming so plentiful
in the Warland-Libby district that
motorists are warned to take un-
usual ~precaution to avoid running
owe them. John Wotring of War
land and his son had a peculiar ex-
perience recently. The boy was
driving and it was quite dark,
when suddenly a deer appeared in
the road directly in the path of the
car A collision was unavoidable
and the deer was struck in such a
manner that it was hurled against
one of the rear tenders, which was
badly smashed. The frightened
deer disappeared in the darkness
and it was not known whether or
not it was injured.

Wolf Kills Seventeen Sheep.

A large wolf entered the corral of
Albert Stills band of sheep in the
Terry district recently killing II
head. Mr.. Still set several traps
and caught the marauder. He was
one of the largest that has ben seen
in that section for some time. While
Mr.. Still is not a state trapper, he is
one of the best wolfers in the
country.

yields about Is sacks or 1900
pounds an acre. Anything less than
IL sacks is considered a poor crop,
usually due to improper methods of
cultivation, and some cases have
been known where the crop ran as
high as 5000 pounds to the acre.
"Mr. Curtis showed us a charac-
t~eristic case of the use of beans as
a clean up crop. 0 n a piece of rent
ed land adjoining him he had seven
acres which had been repeatedly
farmed to wheat and oats, and it
was described as being as foul with
wild oats as possible. He double
disced it early this spring, and fol-
lowed up by repeated civilizations,
a good deal as we handle the foul
land on the Waller project for a late
crop of barley. About the first of
June he went over the tract with a
four-horse bean cultivator with the
ditching shovels attached. This was
Immediately followed by the four-row
drill, planting the seed in shallow
burrows thereby made, and then fol-
lowed by a harrow. with the teeth
staggered. After that the land re-
ceived the usual cultivation and ir-
rigation for a bean crop. In addition
to the above he expended $40 for
hand labor in hoeing and pulling out
the wild oats, amounting to about SO
per acre. The crop on this seven
acres is estimated to be close to 1900
pounds per acre This certainly
beats our present summer fallow, for
III cents per pound for beans,
his crop on these seven acres would
amount to $54 per acre. Even II
both the yield and the price were cut
in half there would still be a big
cash advantage over summer fallow.
estimated his whole 140 acres to
average 1900 pounds to the acre.
Has Little Labor.
"Mr. McCracken, east of Billings,
has $50 acres of beans, which he has
handled entirely with one hired man,
only about a like amount,
$40 for hand labor thereon.
1--WE had always supposed that
had to be intensively farmed,
ike sugar beets, in small acreages,
it was a revelation to us to find
hat these men handled as many
of beans as we do of wheat,
With about a like amount of labor,
nd producing a great deal more OF
ash value per acre, at the same time
maintaining their land clean for the
lext years crop.
From all the information that we
'bta1ned, we see no reason why COM

rn variety, which is the standard, III
ould not be grown just as success
ully on u Waller and Conrad ir-
igated land and elsewhere in irri-

Milk River Wants Sugar Factory


The commercial club of Malta has
been taking a farm census with spec
ial reference to sugar beet produc-
ton, in an effort to bring a sugar
factory to the Milk River valley.
Already replies have been received
showing that 1900 acres would be
put into beets in 1925, and that at
least 1880 acres could be put into
condition for that crop.
G. Wilson of the Great Western
Sugar company, has been in Malta
with I. D. O'Donnell Of the Great
Northern railway, surveying the field
preliminary to making a report to the
sugar company, with reference to the
proposed factory, which 1t is hoped
will be located in the valley for the
1925 season.

The man who figured that he could save a dol
lar a day for a million days and become a million
aire did not succeed. Saving alone is futile. Saw
ings properly invested bring fortunes. The man who
never saves can never invest and the man who never
invests seldom gets far beyond the earnings OF his
hands and the sweat of his brow.
The man who has no INCOME-no money &C
cumuIating other than through the work of his hands
or brain-makes little progress In this world.
O There are many avenues for investment: In
new industriaIs, in land securities and In oil. All
have their individual problems but many of them pay
out, eventually, on a four or six per cent investment.
The man who invests 500 or 1000 and gets his
money back at the rate of six per cent gets nowhere.
He must make larger returns.
The oil business has made the greatest for
tunes in history, standing out over all industrials
and other speculative ventures. Oil is the one agency
that OVER NIGHT transforms men from poverty to
riches. oil is not a passing fad or within that may
suddenly end; 1t is an industry upon which all the
wheels of commerce are dependent. The oil industry
will be greater 20 years from now than 1t is today.
Viewing speculative investment-the only
route to large returns-we read in the history of
finance the success of those who started in the oil
industry with a few savings and attained wealth.
we know from the very economic structure around us
that the future holds forth even greater oppor-
tunities.
UKnowing of the many successes, on every
hand, many are led into the belief that it is through
stock Investment that people make big winnings In
oil. Many have learned the error of this Impression
We know of few who have made any considerable
money through stocks, except by waiting through
many tiresome years, as a great financial institu-
ton is built up.
IT Yet we know that there are men made wealthy
OVER NIGHT by an oil strike. Investigation will
show that 1t is the LANDOWNER who becomes sud-
denly rich. The reason for his sudden wealth is that
when he leases his land to an operator, he reserves
the right to 12H barrels out of every 100 barrels of
oil taken from his lands. The law requires that his
oil (one-eighth of the total life production) be de-
Hvered to him FREE OF COST OF PRODUCTION.
The landowner does not have to spend ONE CENT
to have his income develop from $3.50 a day
from 100 barrels of 81 crude to S125.e0 a day from
1000 barrels Of 81 crude-and ON up. Then, again,
the landowner usually sells part Of his royalty for =
LUMP SUM and so t is that he gains SUDDEN
RICHES. Meanwhile tho operators troubles have
just begun, when he strikes oil. He has to raise moro
money to protect his property, to build tanks, to
