No less important is the fact that
Montana has had unprecedented fall of
moisture, so prospects for next year
are even brighter Yet in the face of
this, land prices have not increased.
Montana land VALUES are doubt
less increasing; will land PRICES ina

1t IS obvious that they will
The business of royalties and farm
lands go hand in hand and this organ
ization for years past has been buying
lands in fee simple, buying the mineral
rights with the fee We haven't made
any money on our lands in the last
10 years because there has been no
demand for land Now we can see that
the value of Montana lands is certain
to increase. Again we are in the mar
ket for land bargains.
We do not buy just ANY land We
try to buy lands located on known oil
structures, where we have opportunity
for more than the yield of grazing land
or of wheat production We hope for
ownership of land that will produce OIL
If we can buy this land cheaply enough,
we have the safety of a normal land
investment, plus the highly speculative
possibility of oil-in which ownership
of the landowners 1219% royalty may
bring a fortune.
Certain it is that great fortunes are
to be made by the owners of Montana
lands Thus far, the landowners in Mon
tana oil fields have received more than
$4,000, 10000 Meantime a large re-
finery market has grown up that will
demand even greater supplies of oil in
years to come than they have in the
past
During the present year, the Mon
tana market will take more than Is,
100000 barrels of oil. Next year it will
take more. The next year will require
even more, as the Montana market eX-
pands and establishes its present gains
Where is the oil for next year and
the year five years hence coming from?
From Cat Creek field, which has
produced nearly quarter Of the states
total?
Not possibly. Cat Creek is a small
factor in the market today.
From -Sunburst2
Kelvin field has been producing for
20 years and the oldest wells are dim

ducing.
The same is true of Cut Bank where
the production of tomorrow must come
from NEW WELLS.

ceived the millions of dollars in the
past will be succeeded by a new crop
Of royalty owners who will receive

INVEST IN MONTANA LANDS

LEUM will be a standard of value of
all commodities in the world for many
years to come.
These are self-apparent facts but
few people realize them The average
investor looks longingly at the fortunes
that went to the owners of the hide
ROYALTIES, the Baker royalties the
Howling, Anderson, Byrne and other
royalties of the past, overlooking the
fact that these great productive farms
are past their peak and will figure but
little in the program of supplying the
Montana market with upward of $780,
600 barrels annually in the future.
AS best evidence that there is no land
boom and no influence of the land
boom in Montana is our recent purchase
of a farm in fee simple in the proven
oil area of Kelvin field. 1t is as certainly
oil land as such thing can be certain.
How much it may produce, none knows.
1t may produce only showings of oil
and gas in every well drilled; it may
Weld gushers. It is undrained territory
but in an area where the lines respond
to acidization and there is oil on every
side of it. Since it covers an entire quar-
ter section-160 acres-there is plenty
of room to prospect for big wells.
Our idea Of success would be to place
a 40-acre tract IN FEE SIMPLE IN
the hands of each of our nembers-4O
acres such as the above described land
that is certain to produce SOME oil
and gas That would be the investment
worth lifetime of saving" Each one
would have 40 acres of land all his own,
with the lease and with the royalties.
Where a man owns 1000 of the
mineral rights, then sells an 87A%
lease to a responsible operator, he
doesn't need much production to pro-
vide financial security Out of every
100 barrels produced he receives l2H
barrels. A modest amount of daily pro-
duction can give a landowner an In
come such as would not be possible
from investment of an equal amount
in any other line of industry of which
we know.
We look for no pre-war boom in
Montana. We do not expect to see much
price initiation of any kind in this state
so long as the administration at Wash
ington keeps all preparedness program
establishments out of this state. But we
do know that the value of land is going
to 90 up-to where prices rlghtfully
belong. So we are going to buy all the
land we can get, starting off with prov
en- oil land.
AS suggested above, we are going to
place 4O-acre tracts and 80-acre tracts
and 16O-acre tracts in the hands of in
dividuals who can afford to invest them.
Those persons who would like to buy
Montana lands can do no better than
to contact this agency. We are licensed,
bonded real estate brokers under the
Montana law, with 20 years of exper-
fence behind us to serve as guide in
intelligent buying. We have an organ
zation whose services can be richly
capitalized by a land investor who
would add the speculative angle of OIL
20 his land investments.
We are building up a special list to
whom we will submit listings of avail
able "oil farms" These listings will be
sent only to those who request them.

Headlines tell us of the efforts of
the government to head off the land
boom that is resulting from the
scramble of investors to put their
money in the safety of real estate.
Land booms go with wars and this
is wartime. The average business man
reasons that stocks, bonds and even
paper money may become "shin plas-
ters' in the postwar period. and he
wants to put some of his money into
something that will "stay put" through
the deepest slough of depression. There
is always a movement back to the soil
when the great war industries shut
down. There will be more millions 90
ing back to the soil after this war ends
than ever before because at no time
has there been so great an arms build
ing program in the history of the world.
But when everyone gets the same
idea, there is danger that price infla-
ton will take the attractiveness out of
land investment. Land is valuable in
proportion to its productivity If it is
sufficiently productive that it will pay
out its cost in five years, then it is
highly valuable. If it will pay out in
10 years, it is better than stocks and
bonds under the present outlook How
ever the average person looks upon
land as a Notwithstanding to be
bought for one price and sold at an
other-supposedly at a profit For that
reason people frequently overlook the
true value of land and start gambling.
That is where the government steps in
to try to head off "boom"
An Associated Press account credits
DIR. A. G. Black, governor of the farm
credit administration with the state
ment before a conference of agricultural
credit agencies that recent increases in
farm sales at higher prices were mot
an unwelcome sight after years of de-
pressed values, and after years Of vir-
tually no sales, or sales only at dis
tressed and Debated values" We con-
tinue the quotation from the Associated
Press:
But" Black said, the farm credit
administration, as one of the major
sources of farm credit, will take no
part in promoting land boom.
Its loans" he said, would continue
to be made on appraisals based upon
the lands normal value In determin-
ing normal value, FCA appraisers take
into account the income possibilities of
the farm based on what tie agriculture
department calls parity or fair prices
for agricultural products.
The FCA governor appealed to in
surance companies, banks, private and
other lenders to adopt similar policy.
But it is too early to say, farm Of
ficials state whether nongovernmental
agencies will go along on the FCAs
program. In asking
other lenders to cooperate on loan
policies, Black recalled that many OF
hem. particularly insurance companies
md banks, were saved from huge
losses and possibly from bankruptcy
