Eof the World War, when all work
ceased and as yet has not been re
sumed.
The water supply for the large
Winnett project is obtained from
two natural reservoirs, WAREHOUSE
Lake and Little Bear Lake. These
two immense bodies of water as
sure an ample supply for all land
on the project subject to ditch.
This project was also nearing
completion at the outbreak Of the
World War when work ceased.
However, what was completed has
been kept in good repair and many
farmers along the ditch are each
year using the water. This pro-
ject is working at only one-fifth
capacity, due to the need Of furth-
er development.
w. ]. Winnett's private pro-
ject obtains its water supply from
Mcdonald creek and each year ir-
rigates thousands Of acres on Mr..
Winnett's ranch.
w. j. Winnett, from whom the
city Of Winnett derives its name,
is the father of irrigation in Pc
troleum county and to him goes
the credit for the development of
irrigation in the new county, the
advent Of the World War being
the only thing that could have
stopped the work before the com
pletion of the three projects. Mr..
Winnett is probably better versed
in irrigation than any other man
in the state Of Montana.
Non-Irrigated Farms
The greater part of the produc-
ing farm land in Petroleum coun-
ty is non-irrigated and upon this
fertile soil crops are being grown
that startle the farmers Of other
states. The wheat crop this year
averaged thirty bushels to the
acre on land that can be, or at
least could be, purchased for $25 =.
an acre. With the local market
for wheat at $1.26 and a three cent I
premium a bushel, one can easily
ascertain the profit derived from
farming in Petroleum county.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-12-04
By C. J. DOHERTY,
Editor of the Winnett Times

PETROLEUM county came
into being at the general cleo
ton November 18th, 1924, by an
so per cent majority vote. 1t de-
rived it's name from the fact that
within its confines lies the first
commercial oil field in Montana
and now recognized as the rich
est, the Cat Creek field. The fact
that the county also contains four
other promising structures, Flat
willow, Mcdonald, Brush Creek
and War House Lake, added to
the reason for calling the new
county, Petroleum"
Since its discovery in 1920 Cat
Creek has delivered up 100000
barrels Of light, high grade crude
oil and according to u. S. Bureau
of Mines records holds the dis
tinction of showing the least de
probation of any oil field in the
United States.
The fact that Petroleum coun-
ty has four more structures I'M
der development or to be develop
ed and that Cat Creek has yet to-
receive a deep test, accounts for
the assertion by oil men that oil
development in this county is yet
in its infancy. In the years to
come some of the new structures
will assuredly come into produc-
ton and make the oil industry in
the new county a much greater as
set than it already is. Today,
next to agriculture, it is the great
est asset.
Irrigated Land
Petroleum county has three
large irrigation projects, only one
of which is completed and two of
which are functioning, the Win
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-12-04

nett project, commonly known as
the WAREHOUSE Lake project, and
w. j. Winnett's private project.
The Flatwillow project is yet to
be developed under the Carey act.
These three projects subject
100000 acres to irrigation, an en-
pire in itself, the development of
which is well worth the efforts of
the progressive citizens of the new
county. 1t is expected that in
1925 the Winnett project will be
completed and 10000 acres
thrown open for settlement at a
very reasonable figure.
The land which is now under
irrigation is producing bountiful
crops of wheat, corn, alfalfa and
vegetables. For the past three
years products from the new coun-
ty have been entered at district
and state fairs and never failed to
bring home numerous first prizes.
M. w. Sergeant, Of the Home
Ranch, southeast Of Winnett, won
81 prizes at the Central Montana
Fair this fall.

ter of the county is the terminus
of the Chicago, Milwaukee rail
road and also has the Great North
ern survey running thru it. The
city is populated by live-wire citi-
zens who have always kept the
city in the front rank of progress
sive cities in the Treasure State.
The Winnett Chamber Of Com
merce is the arm Of action for the
city with no task too great or too
small for it to successfully per-
form. The body is incorporated
under the laws of Montana and
meets twice a week, Monday and
Friday, in its own quarters. 1t
also acts as a medium for the ex-
preston of all opinions on public
affairs and serves a splendid pur-
pose in smoothing difficulties and
keeping the city free of frictions.
1t is the only such body in the
state of Montana credited with
successful meetings twice a week
over a period of years.
The city has sewerage, water,

mately ten miles north of Winnett,
known as the Asley country. This
year the bean farmers in this belt
purchased bean h%arvesters ,and
threshers to handle their crops and
are shipping beans out of Win
nett by the carload.
Many Petroleum county farm
ers r going into clover and be-
coming rich by the sale of seed
each fall. Petroleum county corn
continues to win trophies at coun-
ty, state and national fairs. The
tallest corn grown in Montana
comes from the northeast section
of the county, known as the Dove
tail country. A. G. Coffee, post
master at Dovetail, has a thirty
acre patch in which each stalk av-
eraged over ten feet in height
[nasmuch as the frost comes late In
the Dovetail country the tall
corn matured and was sold by Mr..
Coffee for seed.
The first corn prize to be won
by a Petroleum county farmer was
that won by Chas. Holecek of the
country east of Winnett,
when he captured the first prize
Tor the best ten ears Of corn at

the majority of stock from Petrol
cum county is taken off the grass
and corn-fed before shipping.
Calves valued at $18 a head were
fed corn for five months and sold
on the market at $50 a head. This
quick increase in value has natur-
ally turned the attention of all
stockmen to the value of feeding
corn, and many contract for en-
tire crops of corn raised by neigh
boring farmers.
The sheep industry is also quite
a factor in the new county. Each
year thousands of dollars come
back to Petroleum county from
shipments Of wool. At the clip
ping season it is an interesting
sight to see the caravans of wool
wagons, with six and eight horses
strung out, hauling the wool into
Winnett for shipment. Last year
was the first year that sheepmen
Of Petroleum county fed corn to
their sheep. They contend that
this feeding resulted in more and
better grade of wool and a better
and larger lamb crop.

Farmers Wanted
The efforts Of all the citizens Of

United States for a young farmer
who desires to get a start In life.
