Volunteer Wheat In Garfield
Equals the Regular Crop

A most remarkable evidence of
soil fertility and crop. repetition is
that reported recently from Garfield
county in the eastern part of the
state, where volunteer fields of grow
ing wheat are said to be in evidence
with every Indication of a maturing
crop.
This condition is believed to have
resulted from the fact that a number
of the wheat growers of that region
having decided not to plant the same
acreage in wheat again in connection
with the opinion expressed in the
past that diversification of crops
would be observed, allowed some of
the fields heretofore planted to this
grain to remain idle with the result
that the fallen grain has taken root
and produced a stand that is practi-
cally equal to that obtained in the
regular manner.
1t is said to be a little too early to
give an accurate estimate of what
the possible yield will be on this vol
crop. It is, though, estimated
hat it will not be far behind the re-
yular planted yields. ;

eve think a great deal of Montana,
especially so after travelling through
eastern states" said j. l.. Fox of
Billings, who returned recently from
points in Indiana, after a 5,000-mile
automobile tour. Comparing crop
conditions of Montana with those of
the states through which he toured,
Mr.. Fox stated that Montana had ev-
erything to be optimistic about.
Mr.. Fox and his family left Bill
ings early in June, and after a short
visit in st. Paul, continued to Wiscon-
sin, from thence to Indiana. They
visited many of the larger cities of
the middlewest.

Mr.. Fox, ito observe the crop condi-

On the return trip, passing through
the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Indiana. Mr.. Fox said
that the corn was all the way from s
to Is inches high in these states
while he found the corn in eastern
at least a third higher. Much
of the corn in these states will not
mature, in his opinion. This has
been due to the backward spring.
'fWheat fields in Montana appear
to be equally as good as those of the
other states" he said, ''where crops
are raised on much higher priced
land. Oats and barley are good crops
this year in these eastern states.'

he wrote his famous article, 'That
Pain in The Northwest" for the
Saturday Evening Post, and immed-
lately became the center of a demon
stration wherein attitudes varied
from mild appreciation to a highly
charged silence Or open hostility.
His critics claimed that he had drawn
his conclusions from conditions that
had passed without adequate con-
s~ideration of the present or the faith
Of the northwest in it's own future.
Others objected not SO much to
matters as reviewed in detail in the
as they did to the impression

X ARET Garrett, the special writ
err, whose recently published
~ analysis of the northwest
caused a stir throughout the states
affected and attracted wide atten-
ton over the nation, came into per-
sonal contact with the agricultural
conditions in Montana recently by
means of our made through the ir-
rigated and non-irrigated grain areas
of the state. Observations thus
made were supplemented by reviews
Of the states farming history given
at the different towns visited by
business men and farmers.
Second Trip in Year.
Mr.. CARROTS present trip through
this and other portions of the north
west is the second he has made this
year. Following his first examina-
ton into conditions in the northwest,

the direction of the different civic
organizations. At these there were
present representatives from both
farm and city business circles. The
speakers at these gatherings reviewed
the production records of their par
ticular counties and the state as a
whole, compared yields with those of
other states, and dwelt on the pro-
gress made with Investigation, the
object being to supply vital informa-
ton relating to Montana's ability to
produce wealth.
The Garrett party entered the
state from North Dakota, over the
main line Of the Great Northern,
making it's first stop at Bafnville.
From this point the party travelled
by auto over the Medicine Lake ter
ritory, where a bumper crop will be
harvested this year. The second stop
was made at Malta, where the Wis
itor was afforded an opportunity to
view the wonderful Milk river area,
and interview farmers and business
men there.
At Havre, the party was escorted
a hundred mile trip through the
farming territory of the High-Line
country, including a visit to the ex-
station. 1t was on this
trip that Mr.. Garrett was shown a
portion of the growing grain, which
just now is nearing maturity, on land
Mr.. Garrett described in his
recent articles as deserted. The
Great Falls stop of the party includ-
ed a largely attended luncheon

Belt and Gerber territories, and al
tour of the lands embraced by the
Sun River project. 1t was these two
of the Garrett party which bore
great Significance to Montanans, in
that SO much of Mr.. CARROTS re-
cent comment had been directed to-
ward a discussion of what he termed
The Triangle country.
Other stops were made at Lewis
own, Billings, Butte and other CEN
raj and southern Montana points.
L. c.. Gilman of Seattle, a mem
oer of the Garrett party, and vice
PRESIDENT of the Great Northern rail-
way, was highly pleased with his OBJ

the northwest was rebuilt in public
opinion to where adverse reports
concerning it came to be regarded
as at least controversial in nature.
Largely through the activities of the
Great Northern railway, arrange
ments were made for Mr.. Garrett to
again visit the northwest, view diff
ferent sections during the harvest
season and write another analysis
based on his later observations.

Ten years ago at Deer Lodge
the boys who played the ponies
wagered their last times on the
parimutueIs and the death of high
class running races in Montana
was noted when the 1915 Iegisla-
ture abolished the Turing machines.
Just a decade later, Deer Lodge,
through it's Kiwanis club is listening
to the lure of the modern age and is
staging a great celebration on Labor
Day, the feature of which will be
a worlds championship auto race
with the great dirt track stars of
the country with their speedy ben
zine buggies hitting into the curves
that years before the fleet boots
of the ponies trod.
The Kiwanians picked out a Civ

Great Falls and who lives on the

Montan Riders Win Titles

Paddy Ryan of Miles City was
proclaimed world champion broncho
buster and Miss Lorena Trickey of
Pendleton, Oregon, was hailed as the
champion cowgirl rider of the world
at Cheyenne, and the grand finale Of
the 1924 Frontier Days celebration
was their coronation.
Ryan by his victory gains 100
points towards the Roosevelt trophy,
now held by Yakima Canut, who won
it last year at Pendleton, Ore.
Jack Herscher was named the

statistics and that he has
made a sincere effort to gain accur-

they had better "sell Montana to

downcast and that the foot of the

was done some time ago, and, as a

it, conditions are now shaping them
selves so as to make optimistic senti-
ment without any committee trying
to place before the people the reas-
ons why they should have such a
mental attitude.

course, is the crop condition. 1t is
true that in the immediate vicinity of

they might be-, but the state as a

men who know crops when they see
them, is in the best shape Of any state

head of the agricultural department
of the Northern Pacific railway,
states that it should run SO per cent
better than last year; and, if his
prophecy holds true, and wheat goes
to the $3.50 mark, as he also pre-

her way to the days which once
