NEAR REDLODGE
IRRIGATION DISTRICT HAS FINE
START, 1T Is LEARNED
BY BOARD
Developed Under Jurisdiction of State
Commission under Law Of 1919:
Canning Factory Started to Assist
Farmers with New Cash Crop

The Montana public service commission
has just completed an Investigation Of
the Red LOdge-ROsebud Irritation dIs-
trtct, located west of Red Lodge i'm
Carbon county. This project has been
developed under the Jurisdiction Of the
eO1missiOn according to the law Of
1919, which makes state supervision man
datOry. The authorized bond Issue of
$4lSsOOO was purchased some time ago
by O.. Q. Myers of Billings fer the Farm
Mortgage corporation.
Mr.. Myers, according to the public service
commission, is pursuing entirely a new
policy with reference to irrigation bonds
in Montana. Instead Of simply purchasing
the issue and then leaving the farmers on
their own resources to meet the PAYMENTS
he is following up the enterprise by en-
c~ouraging the growth of profitable crops.
Dairy cattle are 60 be shipped in and dis
tributed among the farmers at cost and
the growing of peas, both for seed and
canning purposes, is being developed.

The Red Lodge Canning company. a Mon.
tana corporation, was organized last sum,
mer by Mr.. Myers and a creditable factory
erected at Red Lodge. Virtually all the
stock is held by local people. This fall the
plant turned out $4,000 cases of peas and
plans on doubling it's output next season
This crop alone resulted in a return to the
farmers of $50 to $3.50 per acre, besides thu
diyidens its plant will pay to its stock.

points in the intermOuntain territory. A

project have been taken up.
Organization Company Formed
To further the program of development
Mr.. Myers has organized the NOrthwes
Agricultural company for the purpose o
cOlOnizing the district. d. Z. Fabrick O
Billings is manager of this company. In
few days % prospective farmers will b
brought to visit the project with the ide
of purchasing FARMS.
Many of the farmers received water frOr
the canals this year. The work will all b
completed next spring in time to serve wa
ter for the whole district. The irrigabl
area of the project is 9,715 acres.

HE Brownsville Chamber Of Com
~ merce plans a campaign soon b.
which every firm, corporation and citi
zen who has the future of the city al
heart, will have an opportunity to con
tribute directly to fund for a publicity
campaign.
The city has gone the limit in pro
viding a two mill tax for the support
of the chamber OF commerce, realizing
about $4,000 year on present valua-
tions.
This fund merely assures the continu-
alton of the Chamber of Commerce
With it the chamber is enabled to carry
on certain amount of work, such as
answering any inquiries, of which there
are scores day, keeping in touch with
various matters having to do with the
advancement of the city, entertaining
visitors who come here with the idea
of locating or investing, etc.
Salaries, rent, postage, etc, neces-
sarily consume most of the fund, leaving
little with which to carry on publicity.
The Chamber should have $4,000 a
year additional to be used in city pro-
xOtional activities, the principal of
which would doubtless be publicity.
A good start in this direction has been
made through the municipal radio sta
tion, KWWG. Also, an illustrated leaflet
has been prepared. the cost Of mailing
of which will be very inexpensive. An
issue of 100000 copies year of this
leaflet should be distributed by the
Chamber and by local business firms.
1t is difficult to trace the whole re-

question but that it has attracted the
attention of thousands Of persons over

Such excitement would hardly be fair
