"flut I didn't come here to boost the
OniHha game; you fellows are easily equal
to that business. I had It In mind, for
one thing, to tell the people who come to
the lAnd show that the farmers of the
northwest are setting the pace for the
continent In the growing of the staple
grains: that our farmers are In the lead
now, and are going to remain In the lead.
I Min t understand me to disparage the
farmers In this section, for I know1 that
they have been making great strides In In
creasing the per acre production of grain
a rate of progress that should occasion the
deepest gratification. But our farmers are
learning things, too; they are aa mentally
alert as are your farmers, and as quick to
else upon Improved methods and modern
labor-aavlng devices. With an even break I
so far as these things go, they have the
advantage of a sjII better adapted to the

make for better quality.

The bench land of Montana and its
sister states is principally a brown loam
soil, possessed of enough sand to make It
easy of tillage and enough clav to make j
It In a marked degree retentive of moisture.
It Is very rich In nitrogen, phosphate acid,
potash and lime, tha four essential plant
food elements The. abundance of these
elements makes for heavy yields of grain.
"Supplementing this fertile soil and of
almost equal Importance Is tha element of
sunlight. The days of spring and summer
are very long, and especially during those
weeks when tha grain Is ripening. If our
section lacks In number of days of good
crop growing weather, it more than makes
up the deficiency by daya of greater length,
the sun rising at 4 In the morning and
staying on the Job until at night. This
fact Insures the plump, bard berry which
makes Montana wheat sought after for
milling purposes, tha oats desired for
breakfast foods and tha barley eagerly
taken up by the brewers. Canadian barley
used to be graded No. 1 on the markets
at the Tain tltlee. In the last two years
It has been replaced by the Montana prod-
uot a standard barley.
"Rainfall Is ample for successful farm
ing In our section If proper means for con
serving It for the growing crops are used.
This fact was never more clearly demon
strated than in the year Just closed. From
personal knowledge 1 can say that there
Were multiplied Instances In every county
In the state where proper moisture con
servation produced enormous crops of
grain. That the average yields of Mon
tana were reduced below those for the
preceding years was more largely due to
the lack of understanding upon the part
of new coiners than to the lack of rain
fall. The months of April. May and June
are those of greatest rainfall, and this
fact Is of tremendous Importance to the
grain grower if he uses the proper method
of benefiting his crops by it. The harvest
ing season Is the time of lightest rainfall,
thus enabling harvesting to be carried on
during long periods of daylight and with a
minimum of expense In protecting the
harvest from the elements.
Hrack I. anil alaable.
"Why do 1 lay emphasis upon the bench
lands aa grain producers? For a variety
of reasons, but for the principal one that
the bottom landa, which are for the greater
part under Irrigating ditches, will Increas
ingly be devoted to the growing of Intensi
fied crops, for products that are measured
In tona, not bushels. The bench lands,
in the main above the ditch, are to be the
producers of bushel stuffs, such aa the
grains. These will be developed rapidly,
because less capital la required than In Ir
rigation farming. Don't let me convey the
Impression that Irrigation farming In the
northwest Is not a vital factor, for It Is a
great, big, tremendous fact. But It's an
other story.
"We of Montana are naturally proud of
the spirit of progress shown by our farm
ing population, the new comers as well aa
the old-timers who have seen the error of
their estimate of the bench lands as suit
able only for grating purposes. But no
story of this really remarkable land de
velopment era would be complete that did
not recognise the vitally effective part
taken In It by the railroads. These were
early In realising the ' wonderful oppor
tunity presented for agricultural develop
ment, and they have co-operated In mak
ing a greater northwest with an Intelli
gence and earnestness that have been won
derfully fruitful.
"These effort have been both construc
tive and exploitive, and along these line
the work of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific 'la especially worthy of
praise. They have arranged and run "bet
ter farming" special trains throughout
the length and breadth of the state, and
have financed demonstration farm unit
In larger numbers along their lines. By
precept and by example, the trained men
they have employed have taught the farm
era of Montana the lessons they needed to
learn In soil culture, moisture conserva
tion, the use of labor-saving devices, beti
ter method of farm management, etc. At
the aame time the roads have carried on an
advertising campaign which ha poured
new people Into our state In tens of thous
ands, giving to the commonwealth the
atimulua of new money, new blood, new
hopes and inspiration. It ha been really
wonderful, all of It.
"gome of the doubting fellows have been
asking me, since I came to the Land
Show: 'If all this Is true about your won
derful yields of grain, why were you so
long In making the discovery T' Well, per
haps for the same reason that the grand
father of Columbua didn't discover
America, but left that stunt for Chris.
Really, we've been a pretty busy people out
there, growing the biggest and best beef
steers for your Omaha market, raining
the most mutton and the largest train-
loads, of wool; digging out of a, stubborn
earth multiplied million in Iron, lead,
chopper and the precious ore; harnessing1
the eternal water powers for manufactur
ing purposes, and keeping our millionaire
out of the United States senate.
"We are doing all these thing yet, but
with the help o(, the newcomers we've got
Into the grain-growing game, too. We like
It. hugely; "for It 1 helping us to make the
treasure elate easily the first in the new
empire of wealth production."

What the great northwest holds forth as
Inducements to prospective homesteaders
was never so thoroughly demonstrated as
It is at the Omaha land show. This terri
tory, embracing Montana. Oregon. Wash
ington and Minnesota. Is exploited hy the
Oreat Northern Rallwsv company with the
finest assortment of small grains, vegeta
bles and fruits ever exhibited in this sec
tion of the country. The Inviting display,
which occupies a large space In the Audi
torium, is In charge of K. C. I.eedy. gen
eral Immigration agent of the Great North
ern, who has a great fund of Information
at his tongue's end.
The display, artistically arranged, em
braces horticultural and agricultural speci
mens gathered from every corner of the
states that are represented. In assembling
the exhibits Mr. I.eedy explains that thev
were not gathered In favored districts and
exploited to represent the product of an
entire state, but that they were collected
from every corner of these states, giving
a true, thorough and complete representa
tion of the advantages of every quarter
of lh territory represented by the Oreat
Northern.
"The Great Northern Is doing more to
develop the territory alow; Its lines, and
doing it In a more systematic planner, than
any other road In the United States." say
Mr. Ieedy. "Along our lines we have
forty-four experimental stations, from
which the gospel of correct farming meth
ods are taught to the farmers In Montana
alone. These are In charge of Prof. Thomas
Shaw, who is reccgnlsed as the greatest
authority on agriculture in the United
States. Under him are two assistants, who
devote their entire time In teaching scien
tific methods to the farmers of the state.
Iliinen to Farmers.
"Under the direction of these expert, the
experimental farms are worked by the
farmers themselves, and are paid $10 an
acre by the Great Northern for every acre
worked. In addition to this, they receive
the full benefit of the expert knowledge
of the professors, as well as realizing full
value on all crops raised by them. In this
way the farmers generally reoelve a scien
tific as well as a practical knowledge of
farming.
"In Montana there are still many 329-acre
traota open to homesteaders. These are I
not sold or controlled by the railroads we
simply advertise them. During the last
six months, there were a greater number
of filings on land than In the history of
any territory In the United States during a
like period, and all this was the result of
our thorough advertising methods."
Though all klnda of small grains are
grown In the northwest and grown profit-'
ably, the horticultural possibilities are of
great importance. With thl fact In mind
Mr. Leedy has Induced C. R. Plumb of
Omak, Wash., a fruit expert of one of the
most prolific districts in the northwest, to
assist In the work of exhibiting fruit and
explaining the advantage of the north
west as a fruit growing country. Mr.
plumb is president of the Okanogan Valley
Publicity league, and he represent what
la rapidly becoming the greatext fruit
country in the world.
In the Okanogan valley the government
recently completed a big Irrigation ditch
which furnlahe molature for lO.OOft- acre
of fruit land. Okanogan county is , the
largest in the tate of Washington, lying
on the northern boundary JUHt east of the
Cascade peak. It has an area of 4. GOO

13,000.
About one-fourth of the county, a dis

Largest Buffalo
Head in the World
Rare Collection of Interesting Objects
on Display at the Land
Show.
The largest and rmat valuable buffalo
head In the world Is one of the Interesting
objects exhibited by the Northwestern
School of Taxidermy at the land show.
This buffalo was raised on the ranch of
Frank Rockafellow and the head Is valued
at $1,000. Another feature of the exhibi
tion Is a sealskin and a plug of tobacco
taken from Dr. Cook' stores In the cache
at Ktah.
None the less Interesting will be the col
lection of -rare birds and animals of North
America. There I exhibited four great
blue herrdn. a bird that Is now almost ex
tinct. The only Rreat blue herron known
to exist now are the few that came to
Kake Manawa once a year. Kvery year
thl flock of rare bird grows smaller and
smaller, and within a few years this bird
will be known only by the specimens that
have been preserved.
Next to the great buffulo head, one of
the most attractive features of the exhibit
Is the mammoth Canadian moose head.
Then there are six monster golden eagles
from the Rocky mountain regions. Kvery
nook and corner of North America has
been searched for specimens for this ex
hibit, and It Is well worth seeing.
For thl exhibition Mr. Elwood has col
lected the most valuable and interesting
list of specimens of animals and fowls
ever seen In the west. There is a display
of game birds and beasts from all parts of
North America, including Mexico and Can

Gieat Falls. Mont.. Is well represented at
the Land Show with a big exhibit of min
erals and other things that tell the story
the resource of that city. The display 1
in chnige of K. W. Pettlbone. representing
the Great Falls Board of Commerce.
Though there are paying deposits of gold,
sliver, copper, coal, lead, line and other
minerals In and around Great Falls, Mr.
Pettlbone lays great tres on the water
power advantages of the city, and he has a
large collection of photographs to
strengthen his arguments to the many In
quirers at the Great Falls booth.
Regarding water power Mr. Pettlbone
saya: "We are now developing iS.ODO
horsepower and have the force in the Mia
sourl river to develop 350.000 horsepower.
In five miles of the Missouri river's sweep
around the city Is the greatest available
water power on the continent, the river
falling ;.' feet In that distance, the ag
gregate fall being In preclpltable cascades
and rapids. The Black Eagle fall has a
height of forty-one feet, and Rainbow
falls of forty-seven feet, these two falls
being Improved and developing 75,000 horse
power at the lowest flow of water. The
development of the big fall will add 100,
000 horsepower to tills immense motive
force, the height of the falls being ninety
two feet, and the balance of the head Is in
rapids." , .
In speaking of the mineral resources In
and around Great Falls, Mr. Pettlbone
says: "Within easy distance of Great
Falls there Is every precious and commer
cial mineral of the Rocky mountain range.
All the country south of the city to the
Belt mountains, a distance of thirty miles.
Is underlaid with a high grade bituminous
coal, ond In places there are extensive
measures of cement whale and fire clay.
In the Rocky mountains to the west and
the Belt range south, there are several
mining camps, and all the mountain area
Is mineral bearing, there being thousands
of loads of copper, iron, lead, xlnc, silver
and gold and great deposits or dykes' of
vrystallxed and carllonate of lime, onyx,
marbles, silicate rock and almost endless
variety of building rock.
"Among the more prominent operating In
dustries are the second largest copper re
duction, smelting and refining plant in the
world; a 1.000-barrel flour mill with a mill
and country elevator capacity of 1,500,000
bushels of grain; two of the largest brew
ery and malting plants In the west; Iron
works and machine chops, extensively
manufacturing, mining and mill machinery;
sash and door factory; babbit metal foun
diy; topper and sheet metal cornice works;
brick and tile manufactory; decorative
tone works; stucco and plaster mills; and
many lesser and growing concerns."
All the principal plants and resources of
Great Falls are represented at the exhibit
either by photographs or specimens, mak
ing the booth one of the moat attractive
and interesting at the Land Show.
CANADIAN BOOSTS LA.U SHOW
Saya It la a ireot Help to the Devel
opment of the Country,
A Canadian In Omaha today, Robert
Wooldrldge of Toronto, declares that the
Omaha Land Show will have much effect
in checking the Immigration of Americans
Into his country.
"I recognise the fact," he said, "that the
United (State needs Just such things as
this Land Show to teach the people that
their own country Is aa good as they will
find. "Its climate Is better than Canada's,
or, that la, the climate Is better to those
who have been brought up here, and we
admit that the lotid of the Cnlted States
is more fertile and productive of the com
modities and luxuries that pay. Many of
the people coming Into our country from
the states, however, are coming more be
cause of the mineral assets of Canada
than for its farms. But, as I have seen
(0)(ul
the Omaha Land
that United Hjbtes minerals will be (11s
plsyed at the 1ond Show, 1 believe the
show will teach the people that they can
get Just aa good mineral lands at home,
and JuM as much monev from thrm. It
lierms strange that more cities throughout
yonr country do not have slmllsr exhibi
tions of home products."
Mr. Wiiolilrhlae said that Canada has
gmwn remarkably in the last decade and
that nearly two-thirds of Ihe new imputa
tion Is composed of American-born cltlsens.
