Ing to Curtis L. Mosher Of Minneapolis,
federal reserve agent for the Ninth
district
A recent demonstration OF renewed
faith In Montana land which came to
Mr. Mosher's attention was that OF a
Twin Cities concern which bought
10000 acres In Montana and North
Dakota. Considering low prices for
Montana lands and acreage yields
greater than the national average,
Montana lands should be the logical
selection for the farmers who seek to
make the most OF their investments.
''WhIle there Is not a very noticeable
trend of settlers to Montana's farm
lands, at least the trend is that way
and the conclusion is obvious.
Your banks have improved wonder
fully in the last year. They are much
better able TO finance the farmers
than they were a year ago. Whereas.
a year ago the demands on the Ninth
federal reserve district were for $780,
100000 to take care Of current busl-
ness needs, now they are only $1,000
600. The banks are in better condition
than they have been in several years.
