Land Prices are Low

On this trip numerous farmers
who had paid for their land. from
the first crop were encountered. Mr..
Bowman found that crops from 20
to 20 bushels to the acre in wheat
are being harvested in Montana this
year on land which sells for a mere
fraction Of what does land in Ne
braska which yields the Same
amount.
MI. Diamond, who is constantly
and closely in touch with crop condi-
tions in Montana, was much pleased
with conditions he observed on the
trip. He found that in all the country
tributary to Great Falls the crops
are good.
"I noticed particularly" Mr.. Dia-
mond said, "that proper farming
methods are bringing results. It
is largely a matter of method, for
scientific farming will produce crops
even though rainfall conditions may
not average high. The difference is
easily seen. On this trip I saw corn
for instance, growing in the same
kind of land in adjoining fields with
the same moisture conditions, which
demonstrated what can be accam-
plshed by the right kind of farming.
One stand of corn would be low
while the stand next to it would be
high and excellent.
Optimism Here
"There is much optimism in Great
Falls, according to my observations
A few months ago when I was here
it was not so evident. At that time
there was still doubt as to what the
crop outcome would be. But now
with a wonderful crop in the process
of harvesting the business men o.
Great Falls are rightfully enthusiasts
tic with the anticipated %prosperit!
in business which will come from
prosperity on the farms.
Farmers this fall will be making
purchases which they have been de
ferring for several years. There will
not be the tense financial feeling
which has prevailed"

The last number on the card
Frank SustellO Of Manhattan VS.. Tom
my White Of Manhattan, three rounds
at 1873 pOunds-represents an attempt
of the former to restore himself n
the good graces Of boxing fans. Last
winter SustellO left the ring before
the finish of a bout in which he ap-
peared, and was severely censured
for so doing. He claims he was dazed
and did not know what he was doing.
"Tm going to show Bozeman and
valley fans that I'm not 'yellow-that

The report Of Treasurer, @. A. Nc
Donald Of Lewistown showed that re-
ceipts for the last year were S48, 317,
and that the balance on hand was
more than $4,000. This indicated that
the year was a most successful one
for the denomination in Montana.
Twenty-six churches were reported
on the honor roll for having raised
their full quotas for denominations

big drawing card.
A Return Match
The semi-windup will be between
Jules Benton and Jimmy Sullivan Of
Butte-four rounds at 125 pounds.
Benton and Sullivan met recently in
the Manhattan ring and the match,
declared a draw, was not at all CON
elusive. This is a return engage
ment, and It is needless to say that
both are determined to win. Their
eagerness to settle definitely the
question Of superiority win make the
go fast and excitmS.
Seven preliminariss are scheduled,
al but one between Gailatin valley
boys. The exception win be the third
appearance here Of Max Carlson Of
Livingston, who win meet Bernie
Smith, Manhattan's colored boxer.
The two are about equally matched
IN speed, but it is believed that Carl
son win have considerable difficulty
in holding his own. Advance opinions
upon the result are about equally d.
vided. They wiz box four rounds al

 Probably the youngest passenger was Richard Medbury, three and a half years old. who went aloft with his father. Raymond Medhury. The vonnester was delighted with the eX- nerience and wants to become an avi- ator himself some day.
 The relation of experiences varied somewhat. but nearly all agreed that they did not experience that dizzy sen satiun that they ordinarily experience from unusual heights
