to meet about once a week for prac

25,000 new families find .homes in Montana every year.
1,000,000 aeres of new sod broken each year.
At tlio present rate of inerease MONTANA within
years will pi-odueo more wheat than aiiy six states in the
United States.
Scores of farmers from Southeastern .'Washington and
Eastern Oregon are buying iarms there every w'ek.
We are taking oh an average of six to a dozen pconlc to
inspect our lands weekly most of -Whom buy.

The most significant feature of this rainfall,
however, is that it comes during tho summei
months, , while the grain ic actually growing.
The average for the month of May being 11
inches, June 3 inches, July 2 inches and August
2 Inches. Thus, the whent 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 havo 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 duplicate of the above, which is
the officinl figures for the Lothbridge district.
Tho amazing crops of 1917, in the vicinity
of Stirling, Raymond and New Dayton, where we
havo extensive holdings, were produced with less
than 11 inches of rain, which was, with ono ex
