Praises Climate
You will enjoy living in Montana.
The climate is healthful and %invigorat-
ing and the people happy. congenial and
progressive. They know how to get things
done and how to live.
You will enjoy the freedom of out
door life in beautiful mountain valleys
or on the rolling prairies. You may live
close to the mountain lakes, forests and
rushing streams where the water is as
pure as nature can make 1t. Or, If you
prefer the prairies, you may live within
reach of broader rivers with timbered
shorelines and cheap fuel available in
nearby coal mines.
You should have enough money,
equipment and livestock to carry you
through until after the first harvest
But this calls for comparatively small
investment. Land prices are low, rents
reasonable, and terms very liberal. II
necessary. you will find opportunities
for outside work in many sections.
"Dairying, fruit raising, market gar
dening, stock %ranching, wheat and gen
eral farming, or poultry raising are some
of the varied opportunities offered. The
choice and locality depends on what
most appeals to you. Whatever your
choice by good management and intel.
ligent farming, you have the promise OF
the same prosperous independence now
enjoyed by SO many Montana farmers
This is your opportune time, while
land prices are low and are expected tc
increase, thus making your Investment
grow more valuable. Now is the time
to buy or rent with the expectation o.
buying later"
