THE IN VOLUME SEVEN a LARGE PRIZES ARE Of EN FARMERS tauis W. Hill Will Give Away $1,157 • In Prize Money to Dry Land Farm- ers of This State—Every Section • Of Montana to Have a Chance. Louie W. chairman, of the board of directors of the Great Northern railway has offered $1,157 apecial prizes for nonarrigated prc- duets exhibited at the Montana elate fair. Of course, Mr. Hill had in mind the dry farming sections which . are penetrated by the Great Noah - ern in this state when making his effers, but no farmer in any section of the- state is barred. The prizes cover grains and needs, 'vegetables, root crops, forage crepe and eheaf exhibits. 'There are, alto- gether, 447 prizes offered by Mr. Hill in Bret, second; and thirds, but the Classification is such that It would be passible for one man, to make a \clean up\ worth while in the earn - petition, for none of the 149 different lots include anything that cannot be raised on the dry fawns in. any part of the state. Not only the settlers along the Great Northern, but the business men in all of the towns along that line have interested them,selves, in this competition, for all are bent upon keeping In Great Northern, terri- tory the prizes offered by the head of that - system. As well, there are residents of other parts of the state who have conceived- the Idea that it would be a good joke on the Great Northern to carry Its, prize meney in- to the -territory of one of the other railroads, and the indications are that the Hill non -irrigated products prizes will be amoing the most hotly contested for at the fair, The Great Northern is cooperating with the state' fair management its an effort to make this pompetition one which will set a !law recant as JUDITH BASIN dry farming products, and la as guirch aa the exhibits' which are entered doubtless will be carried Into the eastern part of the United, Stetes by the Great Northern's special exhibit ear, getting into the money meant something to the Montana day farmer who is devoting himself to ecientifia tilling of the s -oil.

IMPORTANT TO EVERYBODY On account of tire exceptionally large grain, crop throughout the 'Northwest this year and the naturally Leavy shipments of coal, lumber and 'other commodities during the fall and early winter, and in order that the 'railway :companies may promptly handle the fall business, it is very 'important that shippers of all classes of goods should co-operate with the railway companies in handling this 'traffic so as to avoid delay. The Milway :companies are arranging to 'provide all -the equipment necessary to handle shipments within a reason- able period if the business is not \-bunched\ on them. The so-called Cir shortage is seldom re -ally an actual shortage of cazs. It is al- most invariably caused by concen- trating, at one time, shipments' of products which can easily be ebttend- ed ove.r a vvilder period. Delays in loading and unloading cars and a shortage of -storage facilities for coal, lumber, -grain, etc., at interior towns a lso help to congest. business and 'prevent the iCromptt release ef load- ..

' BIllings, Aug. 21—Montana has. just 'begun harvesting this years flax crap, alie greatest in, total acreage and the highest yield per acre in the state `history. The total yield is variously -estimated at 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 laushels. It its conceded that the aver - !age yield for the entire state will be inore than, 10 bushels per acre while some place the total average yield at 17 bushels' per acre. Many yields :ill run 24 bushels per acre. , The total acreage is estimated between 500,000 and a million acres. Yellow - atone county will harvest approxi- Mately 15,000 acres; Lake Basin, .dls- trict, 4,000 acres; and about 6,000 will) 'take in the balance of 'the county. Carbon county to the south will cut 3,000 acres, Sweetgrass county to the West, 1,000 acres, and Musselshell to the north, 2,000 acres. Rosebud and 'Dawson counties to the east will har- vest between 50,000 and 100,000 acres. This section has been grow- ing flax longer and- therefore more extensively than. Yellowstone and the counties to the west. The northern tier of counties east of the Continental Divide, including Pengus, Meagher and Cascade will also have a; tremendous yield of flax, 'This section like Dawson , county has been growing flax for servere.1 years and will produce the greater portion of the state'si output in flax this year. 'In 1911 the section known as the Ju- dith Basin produced 100,000 bushels, and the same district will produce a half million bushels this season. No defhtito Information- has ae, yet been recatved from 'the flax centers at Duluth and the Twin Cities as to the price that will be paid' for new flex, but advance representatives, of the big linseed Oil producers are sug- ge.sting a price od for Montana flax.
