There is plenty Of room left in

over which this electric engine
is climbing and they would
have plenty of room.

of Montana you climb, past
round foothills, up to the top
of the Uoeky Mountains and

The state college runs one
farm of !I000 acres, private in

will pay for them in crop pro.

of its moisture. .The stubble
left standing protects the soil
