SANOE VIEWS GROWTH,
WEALTH GAIN OF AREA

Charles B. Sande, a Laurel ma.
tive son who is now Yellowstone
county attorney, laid aside for q
moment the affairs of the ju-
dietary, and instead took statistics
concerning Laurel, Billings and the
Midland Empire as the basis for
his address Tuesday at a meeting
of the Rotary club. The statistics
showed increase of per capita
wealth of the state as a whole, and
of the Midland Empire area in
particular. With this has been a
marked increase of population for
the area, accompanied by readily
noted gains in housing and mu-
ricipal improvements. Aided by the
memory that was his own, and by
the recollections of the old-timers,
Sande compared what is with what
was.
Just a few years ago Montana
was rated third in the II western
states for per capita wealth, now
it is said to be third in the U. S.
In dollar averages the figures are
S 1,097 per person and $500 per
family. The Midland averages are
about 80 per cent than the
states. Several responsible factors
were mentioned: industrial employ
ment, agriculture, oil development.
and their subsidiary and depend
ent activities from which per
wealth is developed.
Of industry, railroads have oc-
an important role in Laurel
during more than 40 years, to
which was added within the past
two decades the building and OPP
Grafton of important oil refineries
in Billings and Laurel, with others
still to be added, according to re-
pert, at favorable points in the
general area. Agriculture too has
been linked with industry. With
the cultivation of beets for pro-
cessing into sugar, an undertaking
that began in the first decade of
the present century, the value of
farm land has increased steadily as
other cultivated crops added
to the list of profitable produc-
tions. Livestock, a basic in Mon
tana since the period of settle
n'ent in the sos, has gone ahead
with the others. The Importance
of the latter is reflected, the
speaker said, by the immense vol
ume of business transacted through
stockyards established in rather re-
cent years in Billings. They have
become important at-home clearing
for the livestock industry of
the Midland area
The unmistakable increase of
population is evidenced by an esti-
mated 228 per cent of new build
with vacant spaces being
filled with new homes and hitherto
outlying rea being added to the
Municipal improvements,
swimming pools, parks
formerly talked of, but fl

GROWTH Of CROPS
Warm Weather Needed Here
And Over State-SOme Calf,
Lamb Losses Reported

Continuing a record set last
week, now and low temperatures
during the present week have
brought spring farm work to a
standstill. Winter wheat kill in
some areas is heavier than was
indicated earlier. Range growth
has been slow because of the re
tarding cold, and little new feed
has been produced. Soil moisture
conditions are generally adequate,
to which SHOWS this week were
added, and only a few areas in the
state report insufficient moisture.
Several new insect problems have
appeared. Some losses of new
calves and lambs has been sus-
tanned.
Seeding operations were off to a
good start at the beginning of
last week, but heavy SHOWS which
fell later stopped the field work,
especially in this locality. Winter
wheat made some progress last
week. Recent reports on winter
kill indicate a heavier loss than
was earlier anticipated. Stands Of
