A Blade Wccder that al)solutcly does not skip an inch of ground; that can be easily dumped without stopping; that distributes the trash over the field instead of piling: it up; that the cutting depth can be easily and instantly regulated to any desired depth; one that is not complicated and has nothing to adjust or get out of order should interest anv farmer. The New HALL "NON-SKIP" WEEDER has all these features, and more, too. Your old blade wceders can be used in the con struction of it. k Sec it on display now.

UMATILLA FA RMERS, EAD THIS! If YOU were buying a farm, what would YOU consider as important points in making your decision? HOW DOES THIS STRIKE YOU? 1st LOCATION: 2nd TITLE : 3rd PRICE: 1th RAINFALL: Judith Basin (Central Montana) RED WATER VALLEY (Easl'n Mont.) Havre, (Northern Montana) Shelby (Northern Montana) Gmtt Falls (Central Montana) Hamilton (Western Montana) In the famous RED WATER VALLEY District, of East ern Montana. Guaranteed by the EASTERN MONTANA LAND COM PANY one of the largest farm land operators of iin iiestioncrl standing. We have choice lands in the RED WATER VALLEY Dis trict, 75 to 10U per cent tillable, at prices ranging from Slo.00 to $30.00 an acre. To decide this point, we do not have to guess. We go to the official figures of the UNITED STATES GOVERN MENT, and pi-esent a table compiled from Government lecords showing the rainfall for the five year period end ing with 1016' and covering the better known wheat dis tricts of Montana. Five Year nnual Average 10.7( inches 19.32 inches 1-1.71 inches 11.03 inches 18.11 inches 11.02 inches Growing Season May, June, July 10.00 inches 0.0 1 inches 7..r2 inches 0..r7 inches S.R1 inches o.2) inches Reference to the above table shows that the REDWATER VALLEY Dis trict has a rainfall practically identical with that of the famous Judith Basin, which is generally recognized as the most highl.v developed wheat district in the state," and where the lands are selling from $o().(i0 to $100.00 an acre. T,ih SOIL: Gth WATER: rth CLIMATE: Chocolate loam, four to twenty feet deep, with clay sub soil. Very fertile, comparatively level and free from i ocks and brush. Good water for all purposes and in unlimited quantity can be secured at from 15 to 45 feet. Live springs are common to the entire district, with small running streams in some places. When we say GOOD WATER, we don't mean salt water, alkali or mineral wafer, but pure, good tasting, drinking water. You don't need to be afraid of Montana winters in this section. Due to its more southerly location the winters are not nearly as severe as in the more northern areas. Real cold weather seldom comes before Christmas, and plowing frequently begins as early as March. ni In addition to the above advantages that the REDWATER VALLEY District offers, there are other attractive features. One of them is the fact that practically all of the land is underlaid with coal. You don't have t) pay $11.00 a ton for it dig out all you want and haul it home free of charge. Another is the fact that the raw land is covered with a heavy growth of Buffalo grass and Blue-joint, upon which cattle fatten at all times of the year, thus affording an opportunity for stockraising on a small scale, and avoiding the danger of "putting all your eggs in one basket." WE ARE THE EASTERN OREGON AGENTS FOR THE EASTERN MONTANA LAND COMPANY, which owns or controls many thousands of acres of Dawson and Prairie County lands and we believe that this district offers a better opportunity for profitable investment than any other section of the entire Northwest.
