The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-12-25

the answer to this query lies the
story of MOntana's future agricul-
tural and industrial opportunity.
To Make The Desert Bloom
Let us pause to look at the general
situation and to consider the regions
into which population still car flow.
In the eight states listed as mountain
states, there is today % per cent OF
the nations are and little more than
8 per cent of the nations population.
There are in these states millions OF
acres of level farming land now in
private ownership but either unOc-
cupied or not utilized at anything
like their productive capacity. 1t is
not difficult to conceive that pOpula-
ton pressure soon will force o in
tensive use Of the lands, which means
in turn, that we shall see a movement
of population into these less crowd
ed areas.
Immediately rises the question of
productive power of these lands. 1t
is useless to expect a spread of pOpu-
alton to arid or semi-arid lands
which will not now support. prOfita-
BILE agriculture, some people argue.
Yet we are reminded that some of
the most important agricultural re-
gions of these mountain states were,
not more than a few decades ago,
sage brush land, or desert. The Nor
mon pioneers changed the Salt Lake
valley from a desert into a veritable
garden. Some of the outstanding
agricultural regions of Arizona and
New Mexico are reclaimed desert
lands. It is certain that as the de-
mand for additional crop-prOducing
lands is felt, man will reclaim yet
other regions that at present are
sage brush flat or desert plain. Fine
farming areas in Kansas, Nebraska
and the Dakotas were only a few de.
cades ago, called unfit for agricul-
ture.
The Montana Type of Farming
Here in Montana we know thai
much of our level plains region, the
s~O-caIled "dry-land region" can pro
duce crops to support successful.
farms. In spite of the stories Of
widespread failure from 1917 to 1921
we know that in the typical dry lanC
areas there were farmers who mad,
a profit in even the worst of the dr.,
years. An answer to the frequen
statement that this land is untillable
is one farmer of Hill county who, il
the driest of those years, showed
net labor income of more than S1Ot
per month when farms all about hin
were being abandoned to weeds
There r other instances of simila
successes. Our problem in Montana
dry land agriculture today is to de
velOp that type of farming which j
not a type tra%nsplanted from som
other agricultural state, but a defi1
! ite Montana type which will pre-
vide the method for our ~successfU

ledge has been spread into every col

farmers received last year for a
much larger crop. Other crop

as follows: Oats $4,000 900 BUSH

and SOO,O 900 tons Of suger beets

MIR. TOwne said:
"Our crops of peas and beans show
marked increases over those Of 1924.
MOntana's bean production in the
last four years has risen s.ra est rs

"The recent spectacular behavior
Of the potato has brought nothing
but good to Montana. We raise the
