rocks the rural cradle In thin
section It going to be a big factor
In packing "lmmlgrnnt move
ablca" for Montana aud Oregon
points ere long, if tlie unutuul
attondanco of women visitors to
the Great Northern Railway's
Oregon- Montana exhibit car is any
criterion.
The wives of fifty farmers
drove from a radius of 14 miles
tovUlttbo "exposition on wheels"
in Swansea yesterday. Tin In
terest of this feminine delrgatiou
waa productive of promising
results, for today their husband
came in from tbe countrysido to
tuuke further Ingulres and view
the products of these Mates
which mads such a favorable Im
pression upon the women folk.
No fewer than twenty-five fam
ilies went to Montana and Ore
gon from round about Bwunze
last year and their letters writ
ten to tho farmers "back home"
roused so much interest that the
organized pilgrimage to the ex
hibit car resulted. The men folk
were akeptcal about the car of
products, It transpired, so the
womon "hitched up'' and drove
to town anyway, giving curiosity
as an excuse. Tho glowing ac
counts thy carried borne with
them did the rest and today,
after these fanners had spent
two hours In the exhibit car they
frankly confessed thut they never
had any idea Montana and Ore
gon could raise such a variety of
banner products on land that
does not cost one-fifth of wbnt
Indiana land Is held at. They all
''allowed" there was something
in the argument tbeir discontent
ed wives had been agitating as
tho result of those letters from
the Northwest written by the
erstwhile lloosiers telling of vast
Improvement lu their conditions
sine moving into the newer
country whore the prices of agri
cultural land is not prohibitory
as it is in tbe more deusely set
tied middle west.
These people, who found their
awakening in tho marvelous
products which Louis Hill, pres
ident of tbe Great Northern Rail
way Is exhibiting broadcast
through thlj part of the country,
for the mort part, represent the
large population of the land rent
ers who are paying as high as
$9,00 per acre rental. They are
tired of the struggle for little
more than a living. Nearly all
by dint of frugality, have saved
a nest egg after ten or more years
of tilling tho other fellow's tract,
with the landlord getting tbe
lion's share. They now realize
they might have owned their own
land had tbey gone west years
ago.
The comparatively cheap lands
of Moutana and Oregon appeal
strongly to these folks. They
are all diversified farmers and
the products cbown in the Great
Northern a exhibit car was a
revelation to them.
