Only $32,500 Have been Loaned Farmers Since Now LIM , Went' In- to Effect; Banks Are 'Meeting Gov- ernment Competition and Getting the Business. Montana ,has over $2,000,000 in her dtrong box, which can be loaned to farmers on land mortgages at a low rate of interest, and although this money has been available for three months only $32.500 has been loaned. What is the answer? Have the loan companies cut rates to meet state competition? Are the state appraisers of farms Inclined to be too conservative in their estimate of farm values? Or do the farmers prefer to do business with the fed- eral farm loan banks? Many Loan Associations. A very large number of farm loan associations have been formed all over the state. These loan associa- tions are organized in connection with the federal' farm loan banks, and are made up of individuals who propose to borrow money from the federal banks. This would indicate considerable business in prospect for these banks. At the same time individual who have made - application for state loans, and have gone through all the preliminary f _rmalities, have written the state land register that they have decided not to -proceed any further in the matter of borrowing money from the state, as local banks are making arrangements with them that is satisfactory. Good Days for Farmer. These are surely good days for the farmer. The federal government, the state government, and the local banks all trying to loan him money at low rates of interest. Time was when it was otherwise. It looks as though the man with the hoe had come into his own. A great many people are under the impression that the state can loan money on unpatented land. This is not the case. The borrower must have a clear title or patent to his property before he is in shape to of- fer the necessary security.

With the active demand and high Price of wheat which will surely pre- vail this coming winter, -more spring wheat will be planted on irrigated land this spring than usual. As a result, the yields of standard variet- ies under irrigation is of interest. The experiment station has been car- rying on tests with quite a num- ber of varieties and has found the yield to be quite high on the average. The Marquis spring wheat has been tested for five years and the average has been 52.4 bushels per acre. Sev- en years' tests with the Scotch Fife show an average of 47.5 bushels per acre. • Bluestem variety has aver- aged 47 bushels per acre for a peri- od of four years. A number of the durum or macaroni varieties amongst which are the Kubanka, Pelissier, a.nd a few others, have' given yields ranging from 53 to 68 bushels per acre on the average for a period of years. When to Plant. In the experiment station tests on dates and rates of seeding with spring wheat under irrigation which have been carried on for the past eight years it has been cldarly shown that spring wheat ought to be plant- ed early, by the middle of April if possi4le, and it should be seeded at the rate of from two to two and a half bushels of seed per acr-.. Wheat planted April 15 for eight years av- eraged 65.9 bushels -per acre while wheat planted May 15 for the satne period averaged 49.8 bushels per acre. It is important to plant irri- gated spring wheat early. Irrigation. Very late irrigation of spring wheat reduces the quality by making the grain starchy. The best time'to irrigate varies with locality and the season, but in a good many sections if the water is applied just as the grain commences to head it will give good results. In sections of the state where the later growing peri- od is very hot and dry the irrigation may have to be delayed, but on the average moderately early irrigation insures better quality of spring wheat than does late irrigation. MAY DOUBLE THE LAND DIFFERENCE LATEST INTERPRFJTATION OF HONIESTEAD LAWS ALIAMS ADDITIONAL LAND. How the Act Approved February 27 Affects the Man Who Has Taken Homestead; Instructions Come From the General Land Office at Washington. Registers of the various federal land offices in Montana have re- ceived from the general land office at Washington the official interpre- tation of the operations of the act approved February 27, and which purposes extending additional privil- eges to those availing themselves of the homestead laws. The Federal Explanation. As explained by the federal land officials the history of the homestead laws, including the recent enact- ment, \Under the old law a home- steader who had obtained title to a tract of land could make an addition- al filinrin the United States, bring- ing his total holdings thereunder up to 160 acres. Later, he was aathor- ized under the enlarged homestead holdings to 320 acres, provided the original entry and lands taken un- der the enlarged homestead act were both thereunder designed. Nlay Double the Difference. \Under the law recently approved, lie can now double the difference be- tween his former entries and 160 acres, and need obtain only a design- ation of the land contained in the new entry. For example, a person who has heretofore homesteaded 80 acres in an eastern state or on a government irrigation project, may take twice th'e difference between that and 160 acres, or 160 acres more of dry land under the enlarged homestead act, regardless of the fact that the first entry was irrigated land, or if the entry was made in Minnesota or Texas.\ You Know Him. - Ile borrow% but he never lends, Does Ignatius Oswald Foil; Ile has about as many friends AB a quart of castor oil.

MYERS IS STRONG FOR CONSCRIPTION TELEGRAPHS MONTANA ROTARY CLUB THAT PEOPLE SHOULD STAND BY PRESIDENT. Walsh Also Advocate of Compulsory' Military Service; Evans and Jean- nette Rankin Oppose Administra. Hon and Declare for Army Raised by Volunteers. The general sentiment in Montana seems to be for selective conscription as the most practicable and the fair- est way of raising an army of any size, and a large majority of the re- plies sent to Congressman Evans in response to his inquiries among com- mercial clubs of th.e state were either In favor of conscription or in favor of standing behind the administra- tion 'whatever war plans it may make. Congressman Evans and Congress- wornan Jeannette Rankin are against conscription, while Senators Myers and Walsh are for it. - Senator H. L. Myers received a telegram from the Great Falls Rotary club, which was also sent to all of the Montana congressional delega- tion, in which the club urged the rep- resentatives of the Treasure state at Washington to vote for conscription and to back up the president in what- ever stand he took. SenatoT o Myers replied as follows: \I congratulate the Rotary Club of creat Falls. Its stand is the right one. President Wilson, his cabinet and all army and navy experts strongly favor conscription as the best plan to raise an army for effi- ciency and fairness. This is not the time for dissension in our ranks. The people should back up the president in this important matter. I stand by the president in this hour of our country's peril. \H. L.
