Simpson made some very optimistic statements in regard to the future of Montana and especially .this section of thetasin. He said: \Dur- ing twenty-three years that I have been in Montana I never saw the prospect of a bumper crop look so promising as at the present time. If we get a little more rain during the latter part of June . nothing Will prevent a . record -breaking crop and land values in this section are bound to soar_ to unheard of prices. \Never before have we had such a favorable . spring for lambing,\ . said Mr. 8itinpson, \as the present year. From * oiir 1800 ewes on our ranch only 17 lambs were lost. The wool market is fully two cents better than I expected it to be and the sheep in 7 dustry is given a greater impetus from that fact.\ . . On account of cutting up the range into farms the .Nlitchell & Simpson outfit will sell part of their sheep this fall and embark more e. el ''' els: ;at rirming. They already .
