TOWN

Geraldine is fast becoming the
'flyingest town" in Montana with
more than 40 plane owners to prove
it. In fact, the whole county of
Chouteau has earned that title be-
many who are not plane own
ers have offered a helping hand to
develop aviation.
Just recently all the flyers got to-
gether at Fort Benton to improve
and build airports and landing strips
in the county. This group divided
the county into five districts-Fort
Benton, Big Sandy, Highwood, Car
ter and Geraldine. Each district
elected a representative. Julius
Bechard, director of the Montana
Flying Farmers and Ranchers as
ISOLATION, was elected director of the

Flying Farmers and Ranchers
80 Acres Seeded in IS Minutes;
Plane Does Good Job"
By LOUIS 6. TRUE, Secretary, Montana Flying Farmers and
Ranchers Association

FACING THE PROBLEM of get
ting some sweet clover seeded into
a winter wheat field in the spring
when the ground was much too wet
and the rain continued to fall,
George Ypma of Belgrade proved
the progressiveness of the Montana
farmer by getting the seeding done
at the rate of l acre every 26 Sec
onds.
He did the job by asking the local
flying service to do the seeding by
plane.
When the 80-acre job was finished
it had taken but 35 minutes. A year
later Ypma plowed up the field and
reported "as good a stand as you
would want, and it could not have
been more even if seeded with a
drill"
John Ballantyne of Belgrade had
a similar experience on 400 acres.
The stand was "just as good as I
have had in the past with a grain
drill" He adds, 'The plane is the
only answer for spring seeding of
small seeds. Large acreages a be
sown in a very short time at a very
low cost"
This is just one illustration of
how the plane is being used to good
advantage in agriculture. Farmer
use of planes is becoming even
more significant because private
flyers in the United States, and 49,
600 of them are farmers, flew $780,
600 hours, more than five times the
1,934,000 revenue hours flown by
all the domestic scheduled airlines.
This was in 1916 which was not the
best flying year.
This suggests that aviation COM
panies must look to the flying farm
ers and other private flyers for their
mass market and that these same
flying farmers and private flyers are
the ones who make it possible for
plane manufacturers to keep on the
black side of the ledger.

Geraldine district and he started
things humming.
Bechard called for helpers and
machinery. The men and equipment
were volunteered quickly. The
group gathered up a 12-yard Lee
Tourneau, graders, drags, rollers,
four engines, a large number of
dump trucks. Unfortunately COM
plete information is not available as
to how many helped or donated
equipment or labor.
The results were startling. A land
ing strip go feet wide and a quarter
mile long was graveled and the
field was leveled. Next on the pro-
gram is lighting the strip and Bech-
ard is now investigating lighting
systems.
Bill Tanner, who passed along this
information on a flying trip to Boze-
man, wound up by saying, ct is a

a community like ours which is 100
percent back of aviation. People
who do not fly were there to help
and any n asked to help was will
