Now Is Opportunity
To Buy Farm Home

Il believe that because of the
low price at which land can be Sc
cured, now is the most opportune
time we have experienced in 80
years for the procurement of a
farm. The young man who wants
to follow agriculture should not
overlook this wonderful opportun-
ity," says Assistant Secretary
Dunlap of the U. S. department of
agriculture.
practically all of the accepta-
BILE farm lands are now under cul-
tivation. Increased population
places 1000 more mouths at I'm
Gle Sans breakfast table every

"The farmer of the future will
most certainly have more reason
to be thankful than the farmer of
the recent past. There is plenty
of evidence to bear out that view.

agricultural field are convinced
that the next 10 or Is years will
see farming advance into a period

QFtavre Promoter, March 10, '28)
All estimates of wheat produc-
tion in 1927 in Northeastern Mon
tana have been broken by the ac-
tual shipments to market to date
and there is still considerable
crop left to be marketed.
Estimates now place the crop
ON the Montana division of the
Great Northern at more than 30
600, 900 bushels. This does not in
crude any of crop marketed on the
central Montana lines from Havre
south, nor from Shelby south.
There has been over 5000, 900
bushels shipped off the Montana
division up to date, of the 1927
crop. There is a few desultory
pieces of threshing being done
north of the high line which is re-
markable in itself as the quality
of such grain is good in most in
stances, especially if it has been
given some protection by being
properly shocked. There is ap-
proximately three million bushels

points ON the Montana division.
OF the vast amount of grain al
ready moved by the Montana divi-
sion, 100000 bushels was from
off the high line, exclusive of
Havre, which point moved some
thing over a million bushels
alone. The second district of the
Montana division which includes
Havre station, moved 1900, 900
bushels, and the first district
oaded and shipped $500, 900 bush
lis. The Scobey branch shipped
200, 600 bushels, and the balance

No State Equals Montana
Prosperity Says Banker
(Great Falls Tribune)

NO state holds a position Ceoua,
to Montana's in agricultural pros
perity, nor in any other state are
the farmers entering a crop year
with prospects that match those
of the Montana grain and stock
grower, Sam Stephenson, presi-
dent of the First National bank
said on his return from "a bust
ness trip to middle west points
and New York city.
Montana, with normal growing
conditions, next year probably
will raise 100, 600, 900 bushels of
wheat, in Mr.. Stephenson's opin-
ion, approximately 25, ZOO, 900 bush
els more than was produced in
1927. Wool and sheep prices are
at satisfactory levels and the cat
tie industry has shown a marked
improvement during the last year.
Agricultural conditions through
out the state are sound and the
outlook is of a nature that makes
for expansion, the incoming of
new people and cultivation of a
greater acreage.
Holds Montana Fortunate
1--WE do not realize how FORUM
ately Montana is situated relative
to agriculture until we learn at
first hand what conditions are in
the other agricultural states" Mr..
Stephenson said. There is not
another farming state which, at
the present time, occupies a posi-
ton comparable with M%ontana's.
I'm the east, the comparable
position Montana is holding is
better recognized, perhaps, than
among the residents of the state
themselves. l found there is
yery general recognition of the
ate at which Montana is going
onward in an agricultural way {
nd that the confidence which is !
pparent here at home is reflected }
verywhere. |
There IS a good prospect that :
farms will produce 100,-

GRAIN BUYERS met
AT C~ULBERTSON, 10Th

More uniformity in sampling for
protein tests, using better meth
DDS in handling samples and a bet
ter understanding of the local
elevator problems by farmers
were the recommendations made
at a meeting of grain buyers at
the Agricultural Extension office,
June 29th. The meeting included
grain buyers, district managers,
and others interested in grain
marketing, and with E. j. Bell, Jr.,
marketing specialist, in charge
developed into a free exchange Of
ideas on marketing.
Improper sampling of wheat
both intentional and otherwise
has caused heavy losses to buyers
and has decreased the premiums
offered. Accurately taken sam
pies will enable buyers to buy on
a narrower margin and will ulti-
mately increase the amount re-
ceived for grain. In many cases
samples have been submitted and
bids made and upon delivery the
wheat did not test as high as the
sample. Inaccurate sampling or
the drying of the sample is blam-
ed for the difference, say the buy
ers.
A discussion of the wet wheat
problem made more acute by the
rapid increase of combines found
a wide difference of opinion on the
solution, but all buyers
agreed that the wet grain prob

commended.
