TREASURE STATE FARM and LIVESTOCK
Grazing Type of
Agriculture Declared Safe
management over a period Of years.

Further study Of the utilization of
these grazing lands is needle put 1t seems
probable that larger grazing units COM
bined with farming land will MAKE pos
sible a more stable and profitable type of
farming than at present.
In these purely grazing areas where the
grazing land dominates, carrying capacity
measures the worth of the land. Crop
land should be combined with grazing
land to make an economic unit, the crop
land to produce the feed and necessary
feed reserves to match the carrying ca
pacity Of the grazing land. Such units
probably should be considerably larger
than the units on either the wheat lands
or the farming-grazing lands.
Many absentee owners lack full infor-
nation on the productive value Of these
lands. There is need for public and
private agencies to give serious attention
to some means OF blocking out checker
board lands into economic units. A
progressive step toward clearing up the
difficulties can be made by counties
taking tax titles to tax delinquent lands
and reselling these to adjoining owners
at q value consistent with their pro-
ductive worth.
Since practically no good land is left
in the public domain it would seem adj
visable to repeal the present 640-acre
homestead act and extend the isolated
tract law whereby nOn-agricultural land
/ n the public domain can be sold in
amounts not to exceed six sections, CIV
ing preference to adjoining land owners.

The Billings Commercial club is
making extensive plans for entertaining
the Ohio farmers who will arrive there
Thursday, July %, on a tour of the
west to look over the territory where
they secure their feeder cattle. The
OhiOans will arrive in Bridger late
Thursday afternoon.
Leaving the train at Bridger, the farm
ers will be entertained there at a supper
and then taken to Billings by 20 auto
mobiles by way Of Joliet, Silesia, Duck
Creek and down the valley.
At Billings a smoker will be held in
their honor at the Commercial club be-
tween $50 and IL O'Clock in the evening.
The program is being arranged by mem
bers Of h livestock committee of the
Commercial club composed of A.. r.. Nc
Dermott, chairman; I. D. O'Donnell, vice
chairman; r. w. Hart, E. N. Cooper and
George F. Shea.
Program of Speaking
The program of speaking at the smoker
will include a talk on the livestock situa-
ton in Montana by DR.. w. j. Butler,
state veterinarian. I. D. O'Donnell will
give a talk OF the October feeder cattle
livestock sale to be held this year and
Charles Ruzicka, county agent, will talk
on pasture and forage crops in Montana.
The party is scheduled to leave Billings
late Thursday evening for Livingston,
where the farmers will be entertained by
the Livingston Commercial club. They
will take a short trip through the park
entering July 80, and on their return
trip east they will go through the coun-
try south of Miles City and visit Custer
national forest.
The object of this trip is the study o.
conditions, and to inspect cattle, par
ticularly high range cattle. For som
time Ohio feeders and farmers have beer
buying cattle in the west, and many o.
these are convinced that high range cat.
tie offer special advantages for fattenine
when brought back to Ohio.

Up to the present time the income
of the state land office has been derived
from grazing and agricultural leases,
interest OF lands sold and on invest
mentS, together with royalties on coal, |
oil and gas, according to 1. NJ. Brand
JOrd, commissioner of state lands and
Investments. "There is now another
source of income in prospect" said Mr..
BrandjOrd, namely, royalties on metals
N similar minerals found in state
lands. At its last meeting the state
board of land commissioners fixed the
more important points to be embodied
in mineral prospecting permits which
now are in the course of preparation.
Such permits will be granted for a
period OF three years., the annual fee to
be the nomina1 sum Of $40; the mini
mum mining requirements during the
first year Of the permit will be $50 cubic
feet n during each remaining year of
the permit work to the value Of at least
500 must be performed.
These permits are preliminary to the
granting of mining leases. Whenever the
permtttee discovers valuable minerals on
his claim, IND submits satisfactory proof
to the board to this effect, he will nave
the preference right to a mining lease
on the n Under this lease he will be
required to pay a royalty to the state
graduated according to the value Of the
discovery, but in no case less than five
per cent Of the value Of the ore or other
minerals at the mine. These permits
and leases do not apply to prospecting for
coal, oil or gas.
1.-THE new legislation governing this
subject went into effect on July 1 and
is part Of the general revision Of the laws
governing the organization and operation
Of the state land department recon-
mended to b legislature by Governor j.
E. Erickson.
"Unde former statutes the state was
required to sell mining lands at h price
Of $40 per acre.
Numerous inquiries and applications
have been received at the state and Office
for prospecting permits and leases. Prob
ably the most interesting feature Of these
inquiries are the numerous intimations
that asbestos deposits are thought to ex-
list on state lands in the northwestern
part Of the state. Such deposits are
usually regarded as. highly valuable.
cit is likely that the public schools ano
state institutions in whose lands metal;
and similar mineral deposits are discov-
cred will eventually derive considerable
revenue from this source"

Olds in the Frank Heinrich's cattle he<d
on the Crow reservation, to Ed l.. Dana,

The yearlings were sold at $50 a head
and the 2-year-olds went at sos, both
figures are considered a good price for
the cattle. Mr.. Heinrich is one of the
largest s-tockgrowers in this section of

Satisfied that some steps must be
taken to combat winter killing Of
wheat In Lewis and Clark county, five
Lewis and Clark farmers and County
Agent L. G.. DeVOre, mOtOred to Judith
Basin County to inspect grain there
planted by the furrOW drill. For several
years the farmers Of Lewis and Clark
county have contemplated using the
FurrOW drill to evade winter killing Of
wheat and with the so per cent loss
must resort to another method than
the old plain drill.
Observation proves that the furrow
drill fits in with farm machinery and
is the only solution to the problem .
said MI. DeVore. while on b tour
farmers Of Judith Basin county explained
to W. F. Wegner, Claude Cory, w. F.
Frey, Charles Sanders, Walter Carlson
and myself, why they had changed from
ordinary drill to the furrow drill. They
showed us fields planted with the furroW
drill, which they declare would yield al
least five bushels to the acre more than
when planted by the ordinary drill.
while there we visited the expert
mental sub-statfon at Moccasin, where I
j. Jensen, superintendent, showed US
the wheat furrowed in and the varieties
grown in experimental plots.
"Al # the Lewis and Clark farmers
on the our were convinced Of the ueces.

details of the proposed merger of the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington
systems.
The new settlers which the Northern
Pacific agents have brought into the
state are for the S1ost part from Canada
ana n Dakotas, according to Mr.. FL
lott.
These people, in the opinion of Mr..
Elliott, are he only class which should
be sought by the railroads or commercial
organizations advertising the opportuni-.
ties Of the states, n when once the at
tentton Of the state is turned to the Job
Of selling this class Of people, Montana
Will more quickly achieve its rightful
destiny.
Mr.. Elliott said the railroad is carving
only 81 per cent Of the local passenger
traffic which it carried in 1914, the auto
mobile n motor transportation having
reduced the railroad e from that
source to a point where local trains are
mo profitable on very many Of the
company's branch lines.
Though his activities and position
with the Northern Pacific have remove
him somewhat from the immediate touch
he used to enjoy with the northwest.
Mr.. Elliott shows the same interest in
Montana n neighboring states which
he has always shown since he first be-
came president Of the Northern Pacific
in 1908. He visited the Gallatin and
Shields river valley counties, where he
has a ranch on which Craze 5000 head of
cattle. With the tremendous fund OF
other information which he is compelled
to carry in his head, Howard Elliott still
knows more about Montana and its
prospects, its crops, banks and cities
IMAM the average business man or banker
living within the state. He reeled of
figures as to the possibility Of wheat, al
falfa and other crop yields for the com
ing year and had a good idea as to the
possible price. He said his company hao
received $4,000 inquiries from prospective
settlers in this and adjoining states az
the result Of an advertising campaign
and that the department handling thess
inquiries were sorting them carefully anc
following them up personally to secure
II possible, the best farming element de.

(From Montana State College,

UGH Of the agriculture OF Montana
nv is carried on where farmers may
IN combine crop lands with adjoining
lands thus establishing a farming
grazing type of agriculture, according to
Montana's agricultural program drawn
up at agricultural conferences held in
the state last winter. This type Of agrt-
culture seems to be enduring and COM
paratively safe, providing the operator
places the necessary emphasis upon feed
production and the building up of feed
reserves to take care Of occasional poor
years.
Discussing this type of farming the
bulletin "An Agricultural Program for
Montana" recently issued by the Mon
tana Extension service, says:
In many sections of the state con-
siderable rough land is mixed in with
the wheat lands. In these sections, in
order to utilize the grazing land, wheat
livestock combinations Of farming have
developed. In these areas larger farms
are desirable than in the tillable wheat
Ian sections. The tendency is to have a
section of mostly tillable land and a
section or more Of grazing land. Like
the wheat farms, these farms have been
increasing in size.
Wheat is the important cash crop and
low production costs are vital. Most OF
the low cost practices Of the straight
wheat lands apply. Although the man
OA LAlAo bIDE u 4d4AA4 GGAAAAOG bNC
same low costs, yet this is balanced by
advantages of labor distribution, by re-
duced risk, and by certain advantages
Of management of a diversified system.
In obtaining grazing land to form an
economic unit with their farm land
the men on these areas have encountered
essentially the same problems as have
men in the purely grazing sections.
Grazing Lands
Grazing lands in the state vary greatly
in kind and ownership. Those within
the state or national forests are already
under systematic control and manage
ment. In the foothill sections h good
grazing lands are mostly controlled and
the stOckman is concerned with the kind
and number Of livestock to run, rather
han with the control Of land.
The difficult problem with grazing
and exists in the purely grazing sections
Of the state where foreclosure and aban-
dOnment of homesteads lave occurred
These units, mostly, are small acreage in
the hands Of scattered n absentee own
ers and mortgage holders and often are
CheckerbOarded with state, railroad anc
public domain lands. In many case:
taxes and paper value of the lands are
out of line with their productive worth
As a result farmers and StOckmen have
difficulty in obtaining an economic unit
Of land for either permanent livestocl
range or farming.
AS a result grazing on these lands Il
uncontrolled and Overdone and they ART
losing their ability to grow grass. Pre-
liminary experimental evidence indicate
that the present carrying capacity o
much Of this grazing land can be raised
from 80 to so per cent by good rang
