Treasure states scenic splendors as a
national asset, poor roads and the

away from Montana. AS matter of
dollars and cents, the people Of Mon

must either approve the initiative
measure to establish an adequate state
highway fund for the matching of fed

The situation is thus summarized

system in Montana.
Sees Need of Roads
Mr.. GOA, who recently returned
from Denver and Salt Lake City, has
come home more than ever impressed
with Montana's need for adequate
highways. His observation during the
trip was that although the northern
route through Montana to the Pacific
coast is incomparably finer from a
scenic standpoint than the southern
route, motor travellers show marked
preference for the southern way be-
cause of the uniformity better roads
montana can't get away from this

Either we will make provision to avail
ourselves of the federal aid money to
be expended under the 10-year pro

or we will let that money go to other
states. AS fundamental thing, We
need good roads in Montana to meet
our primary transportational needs

PROMISING REPORT
OF CARBON MADE
AT BANKERS MEET

The Bankers Association of Group
Seven, embracing nine counties of
southern Montana held very inter
esting convention at Hunters Hot
Springs May 80. Farming, livestock,
economic and financial conditions of
the various counties were reported
Mack Anderson, of the Boyd State
Bank at Boyd, made the report for
Carbon county, and we are publishing
same.
Carbon
Carbon county not only enjoys the
distinction of being one of the best
agricultural counties in this group but
also that of being the biggest mining
county within the group as well as
one of the largest in the state Our
deposits of coal are among the best
in the state in quantity and quality
"While the condition of the mining
industry in our county is at the pres
ent time as good as it has been in the
past, reports from our mining towns
indicate that conditions are improving.
While the mines are not working as
many men as they have in the past,
those who are employed are working
more days a week, thereby securing
for them a steadier employment, and
having tendency to place them on a
more solid economic basis.
Farmer Sitting Pretty
Like all other counties of this
group the industry that we depend
most upon is that of agriculture, and
at the present time our agricultural
situation is the best that it has been
for years. We have more farmers and
more farms being farmed this year
than at any time during the last five
years. We have more wheat seeded
this year on summer fallowed land
than we have ever had since the Undue
ton of dry land farming into this
country; this shows that our farmers
realize more than ever the necessity
of good tilling. Conditions this spring
have been excellent. The ground was
thoroughly saturated by the early
spring SHOWS and rains so that the
crop was put in under ideal conditions
no irrigation being necessary in any
part of the county to bring the crol
up. Our farmers are paying more at
tention to securing complete diversi
fication of their crops than ever be
fore. We are annually producing
more diary products, poultry product.
and each year we are raising NOR
} hogs and larger amounts of turkeys
The farmers of our country appear tx

vades the air.
