25,000 new families find homes in Montana every year.

At the present rate .of increase MONTANA within FIV K
years will produce more wheat than any six states in the
United (States.
Scores of fanners from Southeastern Washington . aiid

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.

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.
