Camp bell of Hardin, Mont., head of the Campbell farm corporation and owner of 110,000 acres of semi-arid land which is under cultivation. Mr Campbell raised and marketed 500, 000 bushels of wheat this year and is reputed to be the largest individual wheat grower in the world. His wheat, he said, was marketed at a profit when thousands of wheat farmers were figuring up their losses. Mr. Campbell summed up his re cipe for successful farming as fol lows : ' Machinery and more machinery. Pay high enough to meet city competition and keep good men on the farm. Co-operation with selected em ployes. Use of all the department of agri culture mlormation available on semi-arid wheat farming. Ranch Has No Horse There is not a horse on his ranch, he said, but added that there are 42 wheel tractors and 13 caterpillar tractors. "Fanning, after all, is an engineer ing proposition," he said, in explain ing his use ot larm machinery lor all possible operations. "It takes for example, more power to plow all the farm land in the country each year than it does to run all the other industries combined. When factories began to use machinery more and more to cut down labor costs, I said it was applicable to farming, too." Many of his men, he said, are me chanical engineers and most of them are college graduates. Farm on Co-Operative Basis "We run the farm on a co-operative basis all the way through," he added, "and each man draws from $300 to $500 bonus at tho end of the season." Tractor men, he said, receive the equivalent of $2 50 a month, figur ing in room and board, and managers receive from $6000 to $7500 a year. He uses 250 employes, he said, whore by ordinary methods about 800 would be required. Two men equipped with the proper machinery, he said, disc 125 acres a day or seed 200 acres. With one arrangemen. of machinery two men plow, double disc, seed, pack and harrow 30 acres of virgin prairie per day in one op eration. Three men with a combine harvester and thresher cover 50 acres a day. "We seed by machinery and har vest by machinery," ly1 said. "We have tilings down to the point where we can say that the grain is un touched from the time the seed goes into tile ground to the time it is hauled to market by. a caterpillar tractor."

Football Scores Fossil football team engaged battle with the Heppner squad on G,en:ry field last Saturday, the re sult being a victory for the local team in a score of 21 to 6. Lexington and Condon played at Lexington the same day when the Condon squad took the count in a G5-0 tally. That Lexington team is sure cock o' the walk in this section of the state and it seems useless to try to outplay them. Heppner holds second place in the league which is pretty good at that. leaves Today for Eastern Home Gordon S. Banker, who has been spending the past year in Morrow county, expects to leave today for his old home at Morton, New York, where he will make an extended vis it with his home folks. Mr. Banker has been on the Pacific coast about four years, during which time he has traveled over a good portion of the country from Canada to southern California.

During his stay in this county he has been working on farms and sheep ranches.
