I... v.........................:..21.3 inches 391(i 24.5 inches f The most significant feature of this rainfall, however, is that it comes during the summei months, while the grain ic actually growing. The average for the month of May being 3 inches, June 3 inches, July 2 inches and August 2 inches. Thus, the wheat which is just ap pearing from the ground. in May, is kept con stantly soaked until harvest, which comes late in August. This differs from other states, and wheat countries, which apparently have as great or greater rainfall, but receive no rain in the summer months. Crops in such localities rarely receive any rain at all after it is ready to head out. Our Montana rainfall, liewkise is an approximate duplicato of - the above, which is' the official figures for the I.ethbridge district. The amazing crops of 1917, in the vicinity of Stirling, Raymond and New Dayton, where wo have extensive holdings, were produced with less ' than 11 inches of rain, which was, with one ex ception, the lowest rainfall in 1G years. i , Can You Do As Well In Your Home State?.

There is an old story of a man lost in the desert, starved, parched : and dyiiiff, wh found a. sniall bag and a water skin filled hy its side. Water, " lie shouted, as he seized the skin. "Food," and he fell upon the bag with trembling . fingers, ' lint the skin was in- ' tinted with air and the bag with, pearls. . With the des;air of the lost, he flung them far into the sands and lay down and died, lie had a fortune, but it' would, not save his life. . Sometimes neither -money nor diamonds will buy food and eoal. Wages are good aiid it looks like the money will last to buy GOAL later, but if the mines are not kept biisy there will .be a shortage of COAL next winter. Then someone is going to suffer even with Honey or jewels in his pocket, for the fuel cannot be had. . The. -AWMY will need most of our .railroad equipment, and the shortage is sure to come. If you don't I5UY NOW, you had better arrange to migrate to a climate next winter where thev don't burn COAL. .MOIJAL: BUY NOW, SAVE'MON'KY AND WORRY.
