NUMBER 47. • PREMIUM LIST OF 1913 FAIR Catalogue Listing $30,00,0 In Prizes Is Issued, • The premium catalogue ae -. the Montana State Fair has been issued recently from the office of A. J. Breitenstein, this year's seeretary. The dates annohneed are !mei Sept. 22 to 27 and the list this year is offer- ing $8,000 more than in 1912, the total for 1913 being exactly $28,614. , The increased amounts of premi- ums is instilling more statewide in- terest in the exhibits, and the fair headquarters at Helena are receiving from ten to fifteen requests daily for premium lists, despite the fact that the nifnes of 4,550 farmers have been added to the Fair's large mailing list. The Treasure State's big exposition will show more of the state's natural resources than ever before. There Is an evidence of more entries in all divisions than there was in 1912, while some departments will be more than doubled. Of the eighteen sep- arate prize divisions, three are de- voted entirely to women, one for a Boys' and Girls' Contest, and the re- mainder go to the farmers of Mon- tana for stock and products of the soil. The State Fair week at Helena will be a vacation period for every Montanan, for the best of Montana's wonderful resources will be shown in the county displays, which excel those of. all tether fairs in beauty of arrangement and splendidness of de- sign. The outdoor attractions will in- clude the daring and sensational aviatrix, Miss Blanche Scott, seven stellar vaudeville acts from the Or- pheum Circuit, a thrilling \Wild West\ show, and several herds Of Shetland ponies for riding purposes. MONTANA ANNUAL SUT- TER PRODUCTION LARGE. Montana is growling rapidly in its dairy business, The best known die- _ tricts thus far are the Bitter Root ;valley, *here they turn out 600,000 pounds of butter a year; Butte 750,- 000;, the Billings district, 500,000; Great Falls, about 300,000, and the - rest of the state probably 500,00 s, bringing the total up to between 2,- 600,000 and 3,000,000 pounds. The abate shibps in cease to 1,500,000 potiode of butter annually. One at the most important agen- cies in promoting the tiannalal palm - verity of any city is a yell support- ed commercial club.

While at a glance the crowd did not appear as large as last year, the people were more scattered, being at the speaking paeillion in the large rest room tent, in the fields examining the Vote, viewing the sports, etc., hence the absence of the usual congestion. The immense crowd was deeply interested in the inspection of the 'various plots devoted to the various ,lands of grain and forage crops. All of the crops looked fine, in 1 , fact they had never looked better, and conclusively ) demonstrated to all that it 18 just a matter of intelligent farming for each and every farmer to raise bumper crops. The land at the station is not by her the boat lend in the Basin being underlain by gravel , close to the surface, but It is the methods emaloyed by the ex- perts who are conducting this farm that accounts for Its appear- ance. There are many fields of grain in dee section that are fully ass good , if not better than those at the Station, but they have - been farmed by intelligent men. During the day Petitions were cir- °dated which will be presented to the county commissioners asking that the county pay the expenses of the emoloyment pf an agricultur- al expert to aid the farmers in better farming. The Moore Concert Band gave exxellent satisfaction, earning moot deserving praise and , comment from the Visitors. This band was ack- nowledged' the best in the county. t Commencing early in the afternoon the program of sports was' con- ducted, the various events hexing a number of entrees.

While the. amouiet now sent out 0/ the state in this way is un- doubtedly not as- large as a few, years age, thanks to the home Indus.; try agitationi it is still many times greater than it should be. \A oonservatiaC estimate is that there are at least fifty treveling salesmen who make Montana sell- 4m printing. Much of tee work they do is of special form, of which they. make a specialty and which, they represent to the purchaser, cien- te:A be done at home. In reality, there is not a bit of this printing that cannot be bought of the home printer or of the home stationer. And in most instances the prices of the traveling saleemen, will be 'met.\Labor is the big item in printing, it, being 'always five or six times the cost of paper and ink, machiner y, etc. Consequently, when a merchant buys his printing at home, most of the money he spends is kept where fee gets a chance to get it back. But 'when he buys printing away from home, the money goes where some ether merchant receives it in pay- ment for the necessities of life. If the price of the local man is a tittle higher, it is a wise merchant 'Who pays the difference and keeps the money at home in preference to sending it away. \The profit of the printing game is not so much in the newspaper as ire the job department. The greater the buelnees of the latter the bet- ter the paper is bound to be. The newspaper spends more time and moneye boosting the business of the decal merchant the local real estate dealer, the local banker, than any other institution and it would seem that in order to give fair treatment to the printer, the local merchant and business man should have his printing done at home. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TO GIVE UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT Next Friday evening, July 26, the Christian Endeavors will entertain at \the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Withrow. The nature of the social le to be such that all who attend will be both highly entertained and benefitted.

Dutch, Indian, Turk, and other na- tional or tribal quarters- frhe inter- ior of each booth be as nearly as possible furnished- as are the homes of the people they are to rep- resent. Each booth will be in charge of a corps of young people, uniformed to represent that tribe or nation, who twit dispense to the hungry public tenth well prepared food as their na- ttier or tribe commonly serve. Mueic by the band, and spielens at each booth,- calling the attention of the public to the' delectable dishes inside, will help to bn Riven, the oc- casion. Everybody cordially invited.

MONTANA'S COAL OUT TRACTION ENGINES NOT PROFITABLE Large Percentage of Outfits Idle this Season According to F. S. dooiey, Supe of Fanners Inetitutee, engine faeiniug appears to be on tae decline in Mon- tana, from the reports of . the comni. ty\ agricultuilsts in the field to the office at Bozeman. In and around Moore and through- out the Judith lea in, where engine k iwas most prevalient a few Tears ago, C. H. Peteeson, Fergus icounty agriculturist; finds a 'large eencentage of the engine ries id's this eeason. Lt is aeeoited that tha International Harvester company PUT RAPIDLY INCREASING and other implement honees hod According to a report of the Geo- logical survey the production) of coal in Montana in 1942 /mounted to 3,- 043,,495 tons, valued at $5, 342,168. Tide is the first time that the out - pat of the state haspassed the three million mark. The first record of teal produection in Montana was made 32 years ago in 1880 when the output amounted to only 224 tons. Up to 1888 the development had been rather slow the output in that year amounting to 41,467 tons, • It robe to 363,301 tons in 1889 and in' - creased rapidly until 1895 when it 'reached the toted Of about 1,500,- 000 tons. It averaged aproximate- Ply 363,301 tons in 1904 and has since 'shown an increasing tendency reach- ing the_enaximum of 3,048,495 tone in 1912. The report says the coal fields in Montana are widely scattered and their output ranges in quality from lignite to a bituminous coal of fair grade. Nearly sill of the eastern third or Great Blaine section of the state is underlain by, lignite and slow grade bituminous coal. Toward the mountainous districts the coals Pass into high grade sub -bituminous and true 'bituminous coals. These occur for the most part in email and mach scattered areas. In the valley regious of the western past of the state the coals grads into lignite again, but ,ureike those of the eastern part, they are widely 'scattered and at present are not of economic importance. cussed, W. B. George of Billings, handling this subject in a most con- vincing and capable manner. F. A. Bennett, the well known rancher of the Betbchland country then talked on. better farming. Hp said that if all farms in the county were stock- ed with h9,1ises, cows, hogs, sheep, and poultry, they would bring a source of income that would be sur- prising and would make the land as prefitaibee and valuable as the eastern farms. The exercises were closed with an able address by Dr. W. X. Sudduth, of Great Falls, who makes a special- ty of alfalfa, being interested in its growth in this state. He is eonfident that alfalfa can be profit - e3,500,000 of farmers 'pave/ a out en- tgl.nea and machinery in leengus coun- ty alone.

They have not money enough to 'make a big engine business go. Pram the number of small ho'der , who are being sold out to satiety obligations to dealers' in tractors, It appears a precarious thing for a small farmer to mortgage - his farm to buy a traction outfit. 3. Poor work of traction plows Is almost proverbial'. A plow and engine expert, reearted ,eighteen out of 20 plow outfits doing very poor work, and the malorey of it so poor that it had better not have been done at all. Even in exhibitions much of this work has been dia. graceful. It is the engine man's Own fault when he earns such repu- tation for elovenly work. It is 'probably true that tractors have helped Montana to develop argieultur resources faster than would other- wise have been possible. It is also 'true that bad judgment has been 'used in paving and esing much of this power. The email farmer will be much safer to keep dawn his owe expenses and be conservative in mak- ing obligations for machinery that may cost hire his home. Few people are qualified to run a business that requires the employ- ment of a number of hired men.
