of total banking transactions are con-

this higher physical condition of banks

There will be considerable acreage In

stationary or increase slightly. There is

Mr.. Taylor stated emphatically that
Montana, in overcoming its past misfor-
tunes and handicaps, is now winning the
recognition of the nation as a great agri-
cultural state.
"Tillable lane in all parts of Montana
is in great demand" he said. The farm
ers who prospered last year are putting
their profits into the purchase of more
land or are leasing additional land. There
is also n heavy investment in agricul-
tural machinery"
Not only are the Montana farmers

The new districts that have been
opened up through railway extension and
irrigation projects are also attracting a
large number of settlers, Mr.. Taylor
stated. On the Glendive-Brockway ex-
tension of the Northern Pacific more
than rs new families are already report
ed as having foved in. with prospects of
many more as the road, which is now
only half built, progresses to its destina-

project between Is and so new families
are now on the ground.
One of the most significant features
of Montana's great recovery" Mr.. Taylor
said. rs to be found in the flood Of In
quiries regarding this state which are
now pouring into the extension service
offices at Bozeman. These inquiries show
that Montana's reputation as a farming
state is extending TO all parts Of the ma

a great many farmers are contemplating
a remova to the west" Many of these
inquiries have been received from the
