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, ana II
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 an 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

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 I'M
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
shipped to the eastern and western
markets last year and excellent
prices were realized. Some of the
farmers are going to raise from ESQ
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
ter shape than ever before, that is,
taking it from the standpoint of the
natural resources and ability to pro-
duce, and the Chinook Commercial
club feels that the most important
thing at this time is cooperation for
the common interest of all and if the
farmer will keep right on the way
he has now started, this valley will
come into an era of greater pros
perity and well being than it has
ever known in the past.

agency, the site of which is on the
Milk river about two miles south OF
Chinook. This whole section was then
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, 36 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 ac-
uuired 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 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

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 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
cent 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 So cents an acre is provided
for sinking fund to pay off all the
bonds, but a reduction of IL 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.
Other Districts
The Zurich, Alfalfa and Harlem
irrigation districts comprise about
$4,000 acres of irrigable land and

seen this country thrown open to en-

state to vast acreage of highly pro-

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 Ft. Belknap Indian re-
servation. It's main canal is about IL
miles long and the district has con-
structed laterals to each 100 acre
tract. The cost of construction OF
dam, headgates, siphons, fumes,

ed that 394 members of the union
were against the proposition, while
245 voted in favor of it. This is

Missoula-The slaughter and sale
of 100 bison and 200 elk on the
nation bison range west of Missoula
has been authorized by the bureau of
biological survey for the coming sea-
son, on account of the shortage of
feed on the 18,000-acre range. 1t
is believed that this will reduce the
herds, which now number some 1920
big game animals including buffalo,
elk, deer and mountain sheep, so
that there will be sufficient forage
for all.

in this section. In fact the agricul-
tural 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.
G. 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

upper Milk river lands. This was
done, the settlers going out and do
ing the work themselves, and this
was the beginning of the Belknap
irrigation district.
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
district up to first class proposition.
The main canal is now more than Ia

MILK RIVER IRRIGATED AREA is NUCLEUS
OF WELL ESTABLISHED FARMING SECTION

-H HE NATURAL RESOURCES of
the upper Milk River valley have
Il 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
ton 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
tiYated 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-
ton district and since 1891 has been
important to this section of the state,
for from 1891 to 1910, it's irrigated
fields were able to furnish potatoes
and garden vegetables to the towns
as far east as Glagow, until that part
of the country was able to produce
sufficiently for its 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

done as an act of spite because the
