raising Of small grain, most all va
rieties of vegetables grow well, and,
owing to the long growing season,
never fail to ripen. Strawberries and
other small fruits do we'll, and apples
of the very finest quality can be pre-
duced. A few of the farmers living
in the valley experimental with su-
gar beets the past season and it was
found that the soil will produce beets
equal to those grown in any other
part of the state.
Water Only Need.
All that is lacking to make the
Crow Greek valley the real garden
spot of Montana is sufficient mois-
ture during the growing season.
For several years prior to 1917
conditions were such as to enable the
successful growth of valuable crops
under dry-farming methods of cult
vaticn, which caused this section to
be settled by farmers who acquired
title to much of the unsettled land
but thereafter conditions changed and
the lack of sufficient moisture caused
crop failures. Many of the settler:
were compelled either to c wa.
ter for their lands or to abandon
their homes.
In order successfully to cultivat,
the soil, it became necessary to taxi
steps to provide water for the land
and to this end an irrigation distric
was created and incorporated unde
the laws of Montana as the "Croy
Greek Irrigation District"
Without going into details, a brie
history Of the creation of this irri
cation district and of the progress
that is being made is given.

was created by order of the distriC

HOG PRODUCTION
NOW AT Lowest
POINT in DECADE
Survey Reports Show Decrease
In Pig Crop Has Been
Steady Since 1920 >.

The pig survey just completed BY
the United States department of ag-
riculture in the more important hog
producing states Of the nation indi-
Gates that there are 1872 per cent less
pigs from fall borrowings in the our
try than in the fall of 1924 and there
were 14.6 per cent fewer sOws far
rOwed than a year ago.
Expressed intentions of farmers at
the time Of the survey indicate that
there is an 11.9 per cent increase IN
sOws bred for spring narrowing over
the sDring of 1925. The department
points out, however, that this eX-
pressed intention may not represent
the true condition. In other years
farmers have overstated the number
Of sovys bred for spring narrowing by
from 8 to 10 per cent. If this ten
dercy holds true this spring, there
will be but a small increase in far
rowing this spring over last.
The report Of the survey mentions
the fact that each -semi-annual survey
since 1928 has shown a decrease in
the pig crop Of the country. At the
present time hog production is at the
lowest point in 10 years, and in the
corn belt there are fewer pigs than in
any year since 1920. In keeping with
the statement Of John T. Game, chief
of the Packer Stcckyard administra-
ton, at Farm and Home week meet
ings at Montana State college, to the
effect that northern and western
states may soon be the leading hog
producing states of the nation, the
survey brings out that the decrease
IN hog production has been less in
western states than in any other
group except the North Atlantic,
where a slight gain is recorded. South
central states, on the other hand,
show the greatest decrease in hog
production Of any group.

This committee has mapped out a
plan by which full information in re-

distributed to all sections Of the four
states. Arrangements are being made
to see that every farmer in the
Northwest is acquainted with the
losses resulting from smutty grain
and is informed on all of the treat

Among the agencies cooperating in
the campaign, in addition to the col

trict of Montana in February, 1919.
At first it was proposed to take wa
ter from Grow creek, but it was found
that only small acreage could be ir-
rigated from this stream. 1t was then
decided to enlarge the district and to
take water from the Jefferson river
at a point below the mouth Of the
Big Hole and Beaverhead rivers, near
the town of Twin Bridges, and to
construct a reservoir in the Big Hole
river sufficient to store $4,000 acre
feet of water. To this end a prelim-
mary survey was made and plans pre-
pared by the Gerharz-Jacqueth En-
cheering company.
Later the board Of irrigation COM
m~issioners for the Crow Creek dis
trict secured the services of A. j.
Wiley of Boise, Idaho, a Evil engineer
of wide experience, who for more than
80 years has been engaged in engi-
neering work in connection with the
feasibility and construction of hydro
electric and irrigation projects, and
who for Is years was consulting en-.
gineer for the United States reclama-
ton service.
Cost Reasonable.
Mr.. Wiley, with his force CT en-
gineers, made a careful survey and
an inspection of the survey and plans
made by the district engineers, and
in February, 1922, made an extensive
report based on careful and detailed
field examination. This report fur
nishes information that is most con-
vincing as to the economic feasibility
of the proposed project. He states
that the system designed by the dis
trict engineers will serve 1880 acres
Of land at a very reasonable cost per
acre. He also says that including the
land along the main line of the canal,
a total of $4,000 acres could be IT.

source.
Up to the present there has been

amount 1882 acres are irrigable

said Professor H. L. Bolley of the

"Seven thousand, M hundred
eighty cars of durum wheat, or 81
per cent Of the amount received at
the terminals in Minneapolis and Du-
luth during a period of two and one
half months in 1925, showed smut no

nal with smut notations put on by

tee.
ct is safe to assume that the loss
sustained on wheat and durum ship
ped to terminal markets during the
current marketing eascn will ap-
proximate S~2,OOO,OO0. Many districts
escaped serious damage last year,
but grain smut is so easily carried
from one district to another, that i'm
