Teton Farmers Adopt
Strip Farming Plans

Through educational tours and meet
ings conducted during the past year
farmers in Teton county are fast adopt
ing the strip farming method as a
means of controlling soil blowing, &C
cording to the annual report of County
Agent Fred S. Wilson filed with j. G.
Taylor, director of extension at Mon
tana State college.
Following a tour made last spring to
strip farm areas in Glacier county, so
Teton county farmers started stripping
their farms, Wilson reports. These so
farmers were among the largest OPP
orators in the county and it is expected
that more strip farming will be done
during the coming year as a result of
the interest aroused during 1885.

by a nice ranch house. Fence was built
around the 320-acre homestead. The
daughter learned to ride and use a
lariat almost as well as the cowboys.
She became expert with a gun and
helped keep. the cupboard filled with
wild meat-ducks were plentiful on the
prairie lakes and sage hens and jack
rabbits were everywhere.
As Mary grew older and was able to
take care of the farm and house, Mrs.
McAfee was called into other farm
homes to nurse the sick. Today there
are many young men and women IN
Glacier county at whose birth Mrs:
McAfee officiated without the help OF
the sole oVerWorked doctor in the ter
ritory at that time.
AS the country developed Mrs. Nc
Afee saw the opportunity for a hospital
at Cut Bank. She bought a house and
hospital equipment, turned the manage
ment of the farm over to her brother
who had come west, and she herself
devoted her time to the hospital man
agement.

It has three registered nurses in at
tendance and Mary Warner, Mrs. Nc
Afee's daughter, is in charge OF the
work.
Mrs. McAfee likes to look back to
the early days. She laughs as she re-
calls that she kept her window blinds
down in her lonely shack so that pass
ing cowboys and sheepmen would not
stop. Later she became acquainted at
the country dances that sometimes last
ed for two days and nights and found
that her neighbors would ride for miles
through any kind of weather to lend
a helpino hand to her and her daugh-
ter. She once thought she would go back
to her city home and leave her Mon
tana homestead, with its h~eartbreaking
work behind. But when she made her
first trip to her old home, she found
that she had changed. She returned to
Cut Bank many weeks in advance of
the time she had planned.

Cut Bank Woman, Owner of Hospital,
Real Pioneer of HOmesteading Days

Many women left homes in the east
to brave the hardships and dangers
Of early day settlers when the govern
ment opened up the plains of Nom
tana to homesteaders in the years
from 1909 to 1914.
Among them was Mrs. Myrtle Nc
Afee, proprietor of the Cut Bank hos
pital. A widow with a small daughter,
she arrived in Cut Bank to homestead
tn the spring of 1912.
Mrs. McAfee, the daughter of a
Methodist minister in Pittsburgh, Pa,
had never been away from home be-
fore starting on this trip to Montana.
After locating a homestead Mrs. Nc
Afee, with her daughter, now Mrs. Mary
Warner, rented a horse and buggy, load
ed their worldly belongings into the
vehicle and started over the trail from
Cut Bank to Sweet Grass on the Ca
madam border.
I'VE were able to rent the horse and
buggy at a very reasonable rate by
using a mare with a small colt follow
ing as the livery man wanted them
turned on grass until the colt became
old enough to wean," said Mrs. McAfee.
Starting up Head Light butte. the
colt decided it had gone far enough
bulge without it., so I lifted the colt
onto its wobbly legs and pushed it
ahead. I then got in the rig and drove
the mare to where the colt had laid
again. I repeated the process of boost
ing the colt up and a 100 feet ahead and
then driving the a up to the colt.
After doing this several times I started
whipping the mare and she started
kicking and never stopped until she

with not a house in sight, with my little
girl crying and a kicking horse that
I did not dare go near. 1T vas then a
rider came over the hill, and I learned
that cowboys were not the rough,

for this one took charge and remained
with us until we reached my home

hauled them to their homestead. Some
times in the winter there would be
three and four calves with their feet
tied lying about the stove in her house,
she says. These calves were nursed
until they became cattle-today she
has a herd of more than 100 head.
There was plenty of rainfall in those
years and each year Mrs. McAfee had
more land broken for seeding. The small

Prince of Wales
Hotel Opening Is
Set for June q

The Waterton-G Glacier international
highway, a direct scenic link between
the adjoining national parks in the
American and Canadian Rockies, will
be completed within the next three
months, and the Prince of Wales hotel
June 81, according to advice received
by Lee Metcalfe. general agent at
Great Falls for the Great Northern
railway.
The picturesque million dollar hotel,
named after Great Britain'S new king
who owns a ranch in the same region,
has been closed since the 1882 season.
conditions was responsible, Mr.. Met
calfe said.
The interpark highway shortens the
distance between the tourist resorts in
Glacier park and Waterton lakes by
about 30 miles and opens a wild scenic
region which hitherto has been &C
cessible only to trail riders. It reduces
eastern entrance to the park, to Water
ton Lakes from LOG to rs miles, and
from the Many Glacier resort on Swift
current lake from 76 to 46 miles.
1.-THE new link" the Great Northern
representative said, affords a contin-
uous panorama Of ~saw-tooth, glisten-
ing mountains. It runs through virgin
forests and meadows carpeted with a
profusion of wild flowers, and encoun-
tiers innnmerable mountain streams and
waterfalls. Mount Cleveland, the high
est peak in Glacier park, will be seen
from a highway for the first time, as
will also Mount Merritt which rises
1914 feet and Is regarded by many as
the most beautiful mountain in Gla-
cier park. The highway partially en-
circles the sturdy sentinel known as
Chief mountain, follows for a dis
lance along the tumbling Belly river,
then after crossing a divide near Sofa
mountain, drops down to Waterton
lakes. affording thrilling views of this
region.
1.-THE Prince of Wales hotel which
was first opened in 1927 on a high
promontory at the north end of Water
ton lake. a fingerline body of water
extending seven miles south across
the international boundary.
Except for the narrow neck in the
valley where the hotel stands, the lake
is entirely surrounded by towering
mountains and peaks.
MANY trail trips into the interior
of the park are begun from Goathaunt
camp at the south end Of Waterton
lake, which is reached by launch. One
of the most spectacular of these is the
two-day trip between Waterton lake
current lake."
Mr.. Metcalfe expects the completion
Of the new highway and the r%eopening
of the Prince of Wales hotel to result
in greatly increased travel in this
region which two governments have re-
garded as of such grandeur as to Gre
ate national parks on both sides of the
international boundary.

Fort Peck Dam to
Fill Up With Mud
Within rs Years

Army and reclamation engineers said
that sitting" is unlikely to present any
danger for the next century to the
huge dams they are building.
Morris L. Cooke of the rural electri-
fication administration recently testi-
fled at a senate committee hearing
that he vas opposed to dams near the
mouths of rivers.
He explained that silt carried down
streams back up against such dams
and impaired their usefulness.
The engineers said careful studies
were made of the amount of silt to be
deposited in reservoirs before any of
the reclamation or flood control dams
were approved.
Usefulness Of Fort Peck may be lin
tied to rs years because Of muddiness
of the Missouri river, engineers said.
Grand coulee and Bonneville dams on
the Columbia river, it was predicted,
will last a century or more
