NO STATE EQUALS MONTANA
IN PROSPERITY SAYS BANKER
Leadership in Agriculture Recognized in East AS
serts Sam Stephenson, Home From Trip Through
New York and Middle West-Population Will
Increase.
(Great Falls Tribune)

No state holds a position equal
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, 900, 900 bushels of
wheat, in Mr.. Stephenson's opin-
ion, approximately $4,000, 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
we do not realize how FORUM
ately Montana is situated relative
to agriculture until we learn at
first hand What conditions + in
the other agricultural states" Mr..
Stephenson said. There is not
another farming state which, at
the present time, occupies a posi-
tion comparable with Montana'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
very general recognition of the
rate at which Montana is going
forward in an agricultural way
and that the confidence which is
apparent here at home is reflected
everywhere.
There is a good prospect that
Montana farms will produce 10O,-
0O0, 600 bushels of wheat in 1928.
That is true because of a natural
increase in farming operations in
the state, and also because normal
Weather conditions during the
spring season would permit the
planting of a larger normal acre
age. Last spring, it will be remem-
bered, thousands of farmers were
prevented from winding up their
planting by abnormal storms, the
result being a reduction in acre
age as compared with what it
othery be woula 2s2s9e been.
9TH outlook is for a steady in
crease in the population of the
state 81 a consistent increase in
the T. JductiCI VI new wealth"

Tots to Wear M0diSh Ensembles
MOTHERS ENSEMBLE HAS BEEN ADAPTED TO JUVENILE WEARERS-STRIK
ING SCHOOL AND DRESSY OUTFITS POSSIBLE
BY HARRIET

CLOTHES like mothers, in cut
~ and color, only kept childishly
simple in their adornment, will be
the Easter rule for little Miss Five
fo.Ten-Year-Old. according to the
convention of the United Infants,
Children's and Junior Wear League
of America. .
Ensemble costumes for children
will be a predominating feature of
the child fashion trend. These
take several forms. There is the
sports ensemble of skirt, jumper
and cardigan sweater coat, or skirt,
sweater and coat or cape. For
school there r silk or wash print
dresses with top coats that carry
out the color. Afternoon or dressy
ensembles may be silk, satin or thin
wool.
Various Colors Good
AS for colors, little sister uses all
the shades mother likes. There is
a preference for pastel shades, with
delicate blue more of a favorite
this season than it has been for
years.
Hats invariably complement a
certain costume, which means that
many a little girl will boast at least
a couple this spring. The beret in
fiuences many of the sports hats,
whether they be of jersey, silk, felt
or wash prints. The poke bonnet
shape is popular for dressy things,
with ribbons and flowers both in
good taste for trimming. For
straws, only the plainest are used.
In a group of ensembles shown,
there vas n dressy. afternoon
outfit, one stunning little sports one
and one for school wear.
Lavender Print Dressy
The afternoon ensemble was a
little lavender print dress with
shocking and organdy cuffs topped
by a sweet little coat of orchid
satin. This coat had a ruffled
founce joined to a straight line top
by a h~and-cording. 1t was put on
unevenly, to give style, though the
hem was even-that being n
point where children's frocks do
not borrow from mothers.
Three satin buttons fastened
this coat and a corded satin collar
gave it chic. With it was worn a
natural colored Milan mushroom
hat with a pretty lavender straw

The sports outfit was the subli-
nation of new chic. It's little skirt
was of pleated blue silk, and its
sweater jumper of blue, with a tin
sci pattern in silver. The sweater
cape had fitted shoulders and tie
collar and its collar and border
were both tinsel patterned. The
cutest touch about this smart little
outfit was its blue jersey beret,
with a tinsel pattern running
around it.
