TO EXTEND LAND Use
PROGRAM IN MONTANA

A million dollar program in
Montana to stop destructive
land use and to promote a prof
liable rural economy was an
counced recently by Rex E.
Willard. regional director of the
Land Utilization Division of the
bureau of Agricultural Econom-
les, acting under the authority
il the Bankhead Jones Act.
Under Title III of the Act, Con-
gress appropriated $40, 0OO, 900
or developing a land use pro-
gram including retirement OF
submarginal land.
Funds will be used for a pro-
gram of submarginal land pur-
chase and cooperation with
state and local agencies in the
development of a Well-managed
range.
Most of the funds available
for the land use program this
year are being spent in the
Great Plains region.
Montana authorizations am
ounted to $1,226,460. Included
in that sum we're the following
sums for extension of the land
use program, now under super
vision of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics, to the ar
cas- indicated: Southeast Mon
1ana Project, Custer and Fal-
ion counties-$493 900; Central
Montana Project, Fergus coun-
ty - 1881 ,434; Buffalo Greek
Grazing District Project, Vel
.owstone county-$75,O0 0.
Three additional ALLEGATIONS
were announced, these for
blocking in projects sponsored
by the former Resettlement Ad-
ministration but now also I'M
der Bureau supervision. These
ALLEGATIONS, by projects, were as
follows: Milk River Project,
Blaine, Phillips and Valley
counties - S137,50O; Musselshell
Central Montana project, Mus
selshen and Petroleum coun-
ties-S64 ,526; Lower Yellowstone
Project, Prairie county 49,
900.
The Bureau in cooperation
with state and local agencies
is carrying out a program IN
the Great Plains based on evil
dence that land has been
proved unsuited to crop pro
duction should be turned back
to range, with the exception OF
small tracts for family living
and feed. Fundamental in the
problem of making such a shll'
profitable to local stockmen Is
provision of additional range te
q point where enough cattle car
be raised to earn their owners
a livelihood without neceSsltat-
ing overgrazing.
10 this end, the Bureau pro
poses to buy with the alloca'
tons announced between 49,
900 and 1876 900 acres of lane
in the Southeast Montana Pro
iect, between $4,000 and 49,
600 acres in the Central Mon:
tana Project and nearly 10000
acres in the Buffalo Creek pro
ject. These purchases are con
ditional upon findings in fiele
surveys now under way, II

The very act Of trying to give some

HUMILITY.
We are all inclined to shun HUMIL-

Yet HUMILITY is exactly the

We have it in golf and in other
sports. We yield. We give the other

praise his poor shots and discount our

FIGURES ARE GIVEN ON
TOURIST REVENUE FOR 81

According to data covering
the 1887 tourist traffic just
released by the State Highway
Department, tourists left ST.
ST., 152.49 in the state last year;
These figures represent cold
cash left in local trade channels
for which very little of in.
trinsic value was taken out OF
the state. It was exchanged for
such items as food and motor
fuel consumed while here, lodg-,
ing, recreation and pleasant
memories.
It is interesting to note that
1,311,785 persons visited Mon,
tana by automobile during 1887,
over twice the population OF
the state. They averaged 3.l4
persons to the car. their av.
erage length of stay was 3.6A

iture per person per diem wa

and consequently the average
total expenditure show a de-
crease over 1896. This develop
ment is accounted for by the
poor condition of North Dako-
ia highways last year, which
resulted in the detouring of
traffic that would normally
enter at Montana's east bound
aries through Dakota and Wyo-
ming to enter on the south.
Such detouring materially de-
creased the normal mileage of
eastern tourists in this state.
Another factor was the err
roneouS reports which were
spread regarding alleged de-
s%truction done by the fire in
Glacier National Park in the
fall of 1896. These reports kept
