Campbell Will
INCREASE OPERATIONS
Hardin Man Known as Montana
Wheat King and John Raskob
In New Mex. Venture.

"A dispatch from New York
under date of Monday of last week
tells of the forming Of a partner
ship to engage in farming In
New Mexico on an immense scale
by John J. Raskob, New York IL
nancier and former national chair
man of the Democratic party, and
Thomas D. Campbell of Hardin,
Wheat King.
Last May they purchased 216,-
600 acres of land in Cocorro
county, New Mexico, and took an
option on 10000 acres adjoining
in Valencia county, giving them
236, 900 acres and making them
among the largest land owners in
New Mexico.
In discussing his partnership,
Mr.. Raskob acknowledged that
he knows nothing about farming
but says Mr.. Campbell knows
enough for both. He said he had
long had a desire to own a large
tract of land which could by
means of irrigation and scientific
farming be made productive.
While the price of the land
they purchased is not high, they
expect to spend very much more
than the original cost in irriga-
ton and soil development.
Mr.. Campbell, long known as
the Montana wheat king and who
some years ago was retained by
the Russian government to direct

catch was a 48-inch salmon and
four of the catch furnished meat
for 200.

the development Of agriculture
under its five-year plan, will have
charge of the farming operations
to be carried on by the new
partnership.

In connection with the above
article on the forming of a part
nership between Thomas D. Camp
bell of Hardin and John j. RaS-
kob of New York for the develop
ing on a large scale of farming
land in New Mexico, the Hardin
Tribune-Herald is happy to be
able to announce that rumors to
the effect tina Mr.. Campbell
would center his operations in the
southern venture to the detr;-
ment of Hardin are absolutely
without foundation and that he
will continue his operations here.
In an interview, Thursday with
a Hardin Tribune-Herald report
er, Mr. Campbell said:
1.-The fact that I have been for
tunate enough to make an asso-
citation with Mr.. John J. Raskob
of New York for the development
of properties in the southwest does
not in any way indicate or infer
that we plan to reduce or restrict
our operations in Montana. In
fact, the reverse is the object in
mind.
I'VE have renewed all of our
leases for another five years and
have purchased considerable land.
We contemplate complete repairs
on all of our buildings and some
additional buildings as we'll. Our
budget provides for the purchase
of considerable new machinery.
I'VE have signed up with the
government on five-year contracts
under the Soil Conservancy pro-
gram and in addition have asked
the department of agriculture to
send us an experienced contour
seeding engineer so that we can
follow that system in our entire
acreage this fall. This engineer
Is coming at our expense. I be-
lieve that the new system of soil
department of agriculture, will
solve seventy per cent of the
drought problems in the great
plains area.
1--WE are now harvesting and as
soon as that operation is com
plete we expect to seed every acre
allowable under the C~onservancy
Program this fall. We have added
some grazing lands to our fenced
area and will probably include
some sheep raising in our opera
lions hereafter. Prices are good
for wheat this fall and as a res lit
we have been glad to increase all
OF our wages to a substantial
amount. We have arranged fer
local men to haul such wheat as
we cannot handle with our own
equipment. The indications now
arc that we will have a good year
We are satisfied now that the
crlckets can be handled with
proper organization, and the state
and local authorities have given
us every possible assistance dur
ing this season.
Montana possibilities look bet
ter to me than ever, and you
can deny in the most positive
manner that we have any intea-
tions of reducing our operations
in this state. This development
