4 S long as Montana farmers produce
u a kind of wheat which millers need

is not enough of that / of wheat pro-
duced in the United States to meet the
needs. premiums Will be paid, says E. j.
Bell of the department of agricultural
economies at Montana State College. MIR.
Bell has Just completed a study of wheat
marketing in the state and is preparing a
circular on the results OF his study.
Discussing high protein wheat and the
reasons for the premiums ordinarily paid
for such wheat Mr.. Bell says:
If there were enough high protein
wheat to go around, 10 premiums would
be paid for such a product. This. how
ever, is not the case. Millers often find
that such wheat is scarce on the market
n often bid against each other for
particular lots. Montana wheat usually
runs higher in protein than wheat from
North Dakota. South Dakota or Mime

ducer of high protein wheat and the
average protein content from any state

BILL NOW IN SENATE COMMITTEE
WILL REDUCE MONTANA PROGRAM
ONE-THIRD IF PASSED

Limits Expenditures to Total of Appro-

A reduction In forest highway funds
for the coming fiscal year, which in

about 0ne-third of the program

A loophole in the appropriation, which
the eagle eyes of the bureau of budget
discovered and elaborated upon, proved
fatal to the appropriation. Previous
had said that 1.-The secretary of
agriculture shall incur obligations for
forest highway work" but the bill this
year said that 1.-THE secretary Of %agricul-
ture may incur obligations" In addition
to the amount actually appropriated.
The budget bureau pounced upon this
to announce that restriction OF expendi-
lures is required by the presidents hnan-

propriated. thus leaving out the plan for

and later covered by deficiency appro-

The appropriation for the fiscal wear
beginning July I. 1923, n ending June
80, 1929, is TO be &c. 900. But of this

Most of Them From Farmers Who say
They Intend to Investigate Montana
Early This Spring, Says +. G. Leedy
General Immigration Agent of g.. n.
Nor than 5000 inquiries have been
received at the offices of the Great
Northern railway, st. Paul. from the
people interested I'm the territory to be
opened up by the s5-mlle ~Saco-Turner
branch line which the company viii
build I'm Phillips and Blaine counties
this year. although official announce
ment of the new line was made scarce
ly W months ago." says T.. c. Leedy,
general agricultural development agent.
The inquiries come from all parts of
the country" Mr.. Leedy says, land most
of them are from farmers who write that
they expect TO investigate Montana early

The Great Northern expects to begin

Sixty Thousand Acres State Land
About $780, 900 acres will be served by
the new line. only go. 900 acres OF which
is state land, the rest being privately
owned. The state land ranges from IS
to SIS an acre, one-tenth cash and the
balance in amortized payments over q
period of 33 years, the annual payment
amounting to six per cent. Prices on
some of the high-class farm land pri-
vately owned and listed for sale ranges
from $40 TO Sl5 an acre, and for I'M
proved land, with fences and buildings
and partially under cultivation, from SIS
to S25 an acre. About $50. 1000 acres are
covered by options to the Great Northern
and the railroad committee.
The optioned land is well distributed
over the territory served by the new line
MIR. Leedy says. Settlers will nave the
choice OF almost every kind of land and
tracts of any size from l60 acres to 5000
acres"
A large part is adapted for tractor or
large machine unit operation. H. l..
Lantz, county agent OF Phillips county,
says: Tractor farming is proving a prof
liable method for producing grain. Over
400 tractors are being used in Phillips
county now. More raw lands have been
put into production the past two years
than in the previous eight years. Phillips
county has 1913, 920 acres of land and is
larger than the whole state of Connect
cut. A little more than half Of the county
is rough n unsuitable for cultivation,
but 40 per cent is mostly level, tillable
land of good soil n sufficient depth
and quality for grain farming"
