THE STAN'i‘iiii) WORLD. TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK CAN VEGETABLES GOOD REPORTS FROM THIRTY WILSON PROMISES SAYS ATKINSON SIX COUNTIES OF THE STATE HELP TO FARMERS STATE F 00 D ADMINISTRATOR URGES HOUSEWIVES TO PRESERVE FOOD Says the Women of Germany Have Kept the German Army in the Field By Means of Their War Gar- dens; Much Valuable Produce Is Wasted. An urgent request that every pos- sible part of the 1918 vegetable crop be used for food this summer or pre- served for winter use is sent out by the food administration in Montana. Pointing out that much of the garden products are wasted each year from careless handling or Improper mar- keting, the food administration adds that the conservation of garden pro- ducts is one means of solving the pre- sent food shortage. \For three years the women of Germany have kept the German army in the trenches by means of war gar- dens,\ says the statement from Ad- ministrator Atkinson's office. \Every ounce of food raised In these gar- dens in Germany is used during the summer months on the tables at home or canned for winter use. This makes possible the releasing of en- ormous stores of grains and other foods for the armies. Every small bit of ground in the Teutonic em- pire has been forced to yield its share of war garden. \American war gardening is just as important. We have double duties to perform. We must feed ourselves and our soldiers in France, and at the same time furnish enough food to sustain the civilian populations of our allies. We must send wheat and meats abroad: we must substitute other foods at home. Every pound of garden products raised in America makes possible the release of that much more wheat to the allies and our army. \The food administration and the department of agriculture have work- ed together in planning for the con- servation of all garden foods that cannot be used during the summer. Free pamphlets on cold pack and other canning methods are issued by I the department of agriculture and free recipes for the use of preserved and other foods are issued by the food administration.\ EXPERT OF THE BANKING CORPORATION OF MONTANA INSISTS THAT THE WHEAT CROP WILL GO TO 30,000,000 BUSHELS AS AGAINST 18,000,000 LAST YEAR; RAINS HAVE BEEN OF GREAT BENEFIT TO SPRING WHEAT, FLAX, CORN AND SUGAR BEETS; 100,000 ACRES PLANTED TO CORN THIS YEAR. The last week has commanded watchful attention from all interests concerned in the crop production of Montana, and at the moment of this writing there prevails a pronounc.id optimism, because the season is working out very similarly to 1912 during which there was a dry June and a good deal of rain during July that benefited spring wheat, which variety is by far the larger portion of the wheat acreage, to an advant- age that made 1912 a banner crop year, says the crop expert of th Banking Corporation of Montana. We still hold to our estimated wheat production in Montana for 191S of 30,000,000 bushels, as against 18, 600,000 last year. The rains have, however, affected unfavorably alfal- fa cut and on the ground and which growers were unable to put up be- tween rains. There will be a result ing bad color, and in some instances a softening by rain that will prcdt ce a leaching of the juices that witi re- move the chemical content giving feed value to the alfalfa, to 3)1116 ex- tent. After a very cool week, r.l. signs used in measurements at the weather bureau, point to warmer weather in Montana from now on, and proper temperatures will mean touch to the spring wheat, flax, corn and sugar beets. Harvest Has Started Winter wheat and rye harvest, al- ready started, will be extensive the coming week and there appears to be in most sections, a sufficient sup- ply of farm labor: Word from the seven northern tier counties is not encouraging, but there Is quite satisfactory results in the other thirty-six counties of the state —in southern Carter county, for in- stance, conditions are above average and a crop of 25 bushels will prevail; similar production Is reported from Stillwater county. Careful observa- tion survey of Fergus and southern Cascade reveals crops that will yield an average of probably 12 to 15 It Takes WATER to MAKE CROPS OWN AN IRRIGATED FARM—BE SURE OF ABUNDANCE I am offering at Lake View, near Cody, Wyoming, 6,000 acres of the very choicest irrigated land. The soil can't be beat. It is very rich, deep, easily broken and easily cultivated. It is free from rock or stumps and Is ready for the plow. It Is especially adapted to the growing of grains and grasses, fruits and sugar beets. Dairying and stockgrowing are highly profitable. The water supply is abundant. Lake View Canal is taken from Shoshone river — the water clear, pure, sparkling and full of life. The Title to Both Land and Water Is Absolute The price of the land the charges for the water Is fixed by the State of Wyoming. The land is 60 cents per acre; the water, $50 per acre. So for $50.50 you get land the equal of any on earth, I don't care where you go.,. THE STATE HAS FIXED TIIE PRICE To give every man who really wants to own his own farm, a chance. The terms are made very easy. Only one-fourth down, bal- ance in ten equal annual payments. You see, no man need fail to have some of this land if he is really in earnest about wanting it. 5,000 ACRES OPENED AUGUST 15, 1918 I am sorry it isn't ten times as much, for we will not have enough to go round. For that reason I suggest that you call on or write me without delay for particulars. Never again will as good land be offered under such favorable Conditions, because there is not In all the United Steles another un- occupied tract as good as this.

WE ADVISE BEING IN CODY A FEW DAYS • BEFORE AUGUST 15, THE OPENING DATE Important to Range Cattlemen Range cattle shipping season is on. Early sales indicate a splendid market with prices $2.00 to $4.00 higher than a year ago. On Monday, July 22, we sold at Chicago 50 head of 1,190 pound Montana grass steers at $17.10, a dew high record. At the same time best corn reds sold at $18.30. There is the broadest demand for beef both for civilian and fighting forces known for a long time. The record -breaking corn crop will mean no doubt a big demand for feeders. The range nien's prospects are therefore most favorable. Keep in touch with us and let us advise you the best market and time of shipping for your cattle. Our location at all the prin- cipal markets enables us to post and serve you to the highesepos- slide advantage.

A pleasing development of the last two weeks is the bettered condition of oats which now promise good yield and desirable quality. Apple Crop Short Apples in the Flathead, Bitter Root and Clarks Fork Valley fruit sections are not going to be up to standard in quantity, but will be of a quality commanding eastern mar- kets. Government estimates place the corn acreage at 100,000 and there is a good proportion of the corn that will run from 26 to 40 bushels—this important cereal has become a stand- ard planting in southeastern Mon- tana. The lack of moisture conditions in the northern counties is to be regret- ted, but it will be strongly offset by the fine production all over the southern four -fifths of the state. Money For Flockmasters There will be some early shipments out of the northern counties, but prices will be strong for even thin and medium cattle, and there seems an enormous outlet at' eastern mar- kets, at record prices, because the middle west farmers have the largest acreage of grain ever planted in this country, and are therefore bound to be long on grain and short on feed- ing cattle. Sheep conditions are of favorable character and high prices. for even aged sheep and old gummers1 and odd stock will continue high, thus enabling Montana growers to clean up their flocks in fine shape and build to even better returns for 1919. RECORD PRICE FOR RANGE LIVESTOCK CLAY, ROBINSON & CO. GET $19 . .25 AND $18.75 MR TWO LAMB SHIPMENTS High Prices Are Here and Unques- tionably Will Prevail for a Long Period, Says Charles 0. Robinson in an Interesting better on the Situation Today. Charles 0. Robinson, of Clay, Rob- inson & Co., writes from Chicago of record prices for cattle and sheep and predicts enormous volume of sales and top prices for the rest of the season, which began extremely early. An item of interest from Chicago concerns the largest single order for bacon and canned meats in the his- tory of commerce — 99,560,000 pounds of bacon and 134,000,000 pounds of canned meat, which has Just been placed by the United States army for the boys overseas. Concerning recent sheep sales, Mr. Robinson says: \We secured a record price, $19.25 for Idaho range lambs during the last 10 days in July. This was paid for five double -deck car- loads, or 1,376 head, of 72 -pound range lambs shipped by F. W. Good- ing & Son of Shoshone, Idaho. There was not a cut-out and all price re- cords were broken. The previous day we sold 1,638 head of range lambs at $18.75.\ Cattle Situation In regard to the cattle situation, Mr. Robinson says: \No bare spot has developed thus far this year so far as cattle supplies are concerned and it is hardly pos- sible that anything of the kind will occur the balance of the year. Last week brought out 90,000 cattle and calves at Chicago as against less than 60,000 the corresponding week a year ago. For the year to date the run here is practically 350,°00 cat- tle (not inclhding calves) in excess of the same period last year, indicat- ing increased prodt ction of practi- cally 25 per cent. When in the face of this big increase one sees a cat- tle market so sharply higher than last year he gets some idea of the tremendous demand that has prevail- ed and which has carried values up to the present high standard. High Prices Sure - \It Is well indeed that the produc- tion of both cattle and hogs in this country is so much greater than for a number of years, as if it were not so it is not pleasant to conjecture what we would be up against. It is true, of course that with Increased supplies of the general rank and file of butcher stuff and commoner grades of killing steers those classes should have lately sustained some de- cline in market value, thus widen - DROUGHT STRICKEN DISTRICTS OF WEST WILL GET AID FROM GOVERNMENT president Places $5,000,000 at bia- posal of Agricultural Department For This Purpose; Federal Land Banks Will Handle Relief Money. To aid wheat growers of the west, who have suffered severe losses from winter killing of their crops and through drought, President Wilson has placed $6,000,000 at the disposal of the treasury and agricultural de- partments, lt was announced. The sum will be issued in loans to the farmers in the affected sections generally through the federal land banks. Department's Statement \The primary object of the fund,\ says a statement issued by the de- partment of agriculture, recently, \is not to stimulate the planting of an Increased fall acreage of wheat or rye in the severely drought -affected areas, or even necessarily to secure the planting of normal acreage, but rather to assist in tiding the farmers over the period of stress, to enable them to remain on their farms under all conditions with a view to in- creasing the food supply of the na- tion and to add to the nat'onal secur- ity and defense.\ The loans, the department an- nounced, probably will not be made for more than $3 an acre with maxi- mums of J00 or 150 acres. It is stat- ed it is not intended that the fund should be used as loans to farmers who have banking collateral and can otherwise secure loans. An effort will be made to increase the relief fund through congressional action. FORTUNE IN ONE CROP OFF J. J. HILL FARM The late Jim 11111 was a wizard at whose touch everything seemed to turn to gold. His wizarirv appears to cling in some mysterious manner to property that the empire builder owned and had to do with. In Kittson county, Minnesota, is a great farm property, owned by the late creator of the Great Northern system. This farm is leased by one John Lohr. On 7,000 acres of land on the farm Lohr planted flax seed —$12,000 worth. He will sell his crop for $500,000. The flax will run 15 bushels to the acre, yielding 105,000 bushels at a present price of $4.60 a bushel. Three Forks Silo Dedicated The dedication of the first silo in this vicinity occurred recently at the home of Frank Gaffake, who was the first of nine farmers to com- plete a silo. This work was intro- duced in this locality by the Three Forks chamber of commerce with the cooperation of the state college of agriculture. The guests were entertained at a luncheon at noon, after which they motored to the home of Mr. Gaffake, where talks were made. This is the first sunflower silo to be erected in this state and possibly in the United States. ing the margin betwixt the good and the poor cattle quite materially, but that even the commonest canner which arrives can sink to any very low market value is beyond possi- bility. \Economic conditions absolutely preclude any such condition. High prices are here and unquestionably will prevail for a long period. This week has seen best beeves at $18.40. Hogs have passed the 19 cent mark. Western grass cattle broke every re- cord either attained or expected. Look to West \Fat range lambs have sold at ;19.25 and as you go down the line and look at prices for the stock of less desirable quality and flesh you find that in spite of receding values on some kinds, .,every class of live- stock is on a high plane. \Just at present interest centers very largely in supplies from the great grass areas of the west and it looks as if producers in those parts of the country are going to ex- perience a wonderfully profitable season. Nature is bringing to ma- turity what promises to be the great- est corn crop in the country's his- tory. Over the greater area of the country agricultural conditions were never more favorable than they are today. We don't lose sight of the greater cost of production that every farmer and feeder hiss to face, but at the same time there Is no doubt that from both a grain and livestock standpoint our producers' prospects are favorable.\ Listen!

Dairy authorities at the university farm give their Ales for the care of milk and cream in hot weather that they have found by experier^i will produce the best product. Milk uten- sils should be washed, first in cold water for rinsing, then in warm water with a small quantity of good washing powder to cleanse them, and finally in boiled water to sterilize them. The separator is washed thor- oughly every time It is used. Use a metallic strainerl it is al- most impossible to keep the cloth strainers sweet and clean and free from bacteria. Skim the milk as soon after milk- ing as possible, and'cool the cream at once. Skim a cream testing from 36 to 46 per cent butterfat. Cream of this richness keeps best, and at the same time is not so sticky that It cannot be properly stirred and ac- curately tested. By skimming a rich cream, more skim milk is left at home for feed, and there is also smaller bulk on which to pay express charges. Do not mix new, warm cream with cold cream until it has been cooled In the can provided for thiti purpose. Keep the cans of cream in a cooling tank until time of delivery. Deliver the cream to the creamery or cream station early in the morn- ing, and not less than three times a week during the summer, and twice a week in the winter. Protect the cans of cream from the sun by cover- ing with canvas or with a wet sack while on the way. Fooling the German People Eric Salzman,. German military critic, in a Berlin paper, endeavors to reassure the Germans by saying that \the Americans will not come in full strength.\ \They are indeed the heavy thunderstorm.\ he says, \the black cloud may look threaten- ing, but it is often only a threat and In the evening the sky is clear. Just as a storm is temporary, so is the American aggression. America can do nothing in spite of numbers.\ ROOMS RATES With or Without $1 Per Day Bath Upwards THE ARIZONA HOTEL Corner Park and Arizona.

STEERS SELLING AT RECORD PRICE RANGE II,EEVES BRING $150 PER HEAD IN THE GREAT FALLS MARKET Animals Are of High Quality and the Price Demonstrates What May Be Done With Care in Breeding; . Could Have Been Held for Higher Price in Fall; Money for Red Cross A deal has Just been closed by Roy L. Fish, stockman and president of the Stockmen's National bank of Raynesford, and the Great Falls Meat company, whereby Mr. Fish disposed of 90 head of three -year -old steers and 36 head of cows at the record price of $150 per head straight for the beef steers. At the same time, Dave Pimperton, stockman and vice president of the Farmers' & Miners' State bank of Belt, sold 50 head of three -year -old steers and 40 head of cows at the same price. This is con- sidered a big price, but when the quality is considered, it shows what can be done in the breeding of high- grade cattle. The registered pure bred bulis that headed these herds were pur- chased from the Great Falls Meat company some time ago and the con- sideration for the price was the fine quality steers, as they were to go to market with a select bunch of prime grass fed steers. These cattle could have been held on the range until fall in anticipation of a higher mar- ket, but the value of the pasture is conserved to an extent that will off- set this anticipated advance. It is planned by these stockmen to donate to the Red Cross cause $1 per head. Agricultural Lands At $10 to $20 per acre. Terms of 10 per cent down, balance 10 yearly payments, bearing 0 per cent interest. Logged -off lands of the Anaconda Copper Mining company. Dairying is a type of farming best adapted to the timbered sec- tions of western Montana. Most of the land can be converted into pasture at very little expense and dairy cows will yield a splendid profit from the land without the necessity of removing the stumps, although a sufficient acreage must be put under the plow to supply winter feed. In connection with dairying, hog and poultry should take an important part. All fruits, berries, and garden truck thrive; field crops of grain, clover, timothy, potatoes, and stock roots do well. You are hiving at values fixed by experiented appraisers, strip- ped of promotion charges, com- missions, and other trimmings, which are usually added before it reaches the farmer.
