UniThe contast s one of the best evi denees of Montana's future in agricul ture, for Montana not only can, but will in the near future, produce not only what it.consumes, but manyfold more. :Reclamation Act. At the* time of the pabrage by the UnistencStates ongres o ne reclamaply tion act, President Roosevelt declared it tbo rne one of the most important tepwithstancomplished during his dmntana is- yet tration. Itarms obec was the creation of homes, and the development million agroiculture. Population. Ahe natural increase in p pulation of the United States is now one reml slion per annum; the influx of emi grants to the United States is also an proximately one million per annum. Development. Montana is just beginning to receive Ther uota of the people froinm the other portions of the United States who have legrants edof the opportunities in Mon tana, and Montana spells oppoatunnty to every one who comes within its boundaries, and primarily along agriv cultural lines, and necessarily irrigated lands. "Little drops of water" added to "little grains of sand" is already mak ing a mighty difference in the value of Montana's land. Irrigation Projects. There are already under construe tion .by the United States reclamation 'service in the state of Montana alone, flve irigation projects; two of which are already delivering water to land, and two more will be in the spring of 1909; the irigation works already -compelted or rapidly ·completing will cover 160,000 acres of land; the works projected for construction as soon as practicable-portions of which works have already been oonustucted--such as diverting dams, storage reservoirs, main aiil.s, 'will, -wiien completed, cover an additional area of 65,000 acres; surveys are being carried on at thim time ~for irrigation works, for which the first funds for construe ion have already been allotted, which Swill, when completed, irrigate an addi tional 225,000 acres; surveys have already been made and are now be ing made of ptrojects for which funds areigikely to be available, to cover anin ea i of 550;,000 acres; making a grand total of apiproximately 1,000,000 acres of land, 'Reclamation ,Project Expienditures. 'including the work being caried on i i Wing, and in north Dakota, just ea the (ontana ''state line, the isitruction operations of t an i sevi(e. have for sev elya past, and are at present, i in s a lnepndittire of approxi. ~Rteir' e ~ie-third million dol. :be ;" d !Ma . w last completed i ~ererloed by the govern -k;13 engineers, mu ino nsitruction and cler , ads of 2,0 pii Ir oo rnb qsum ever race, when given pospession of a tract of land from which he grows subsistence for himeslf and family, he::and his family become reliable members of society and loyal citizens of the government of' their adoption. Market for Products. T.he fact of Montana's great mineral resources, including its manufactur ing poedibilities, makes a home market for agricultural products, of enormous capacity, and, because' of practically no transportation costs, the most prof itable possible for the farmer pro ducer. Manufacturing. Little manufacturing has yet been done in the state, but the state's nat ural resources of water power availa ble for manufacturing, and fuel, will soon be utilized, creating a demand of enormous proportions for subsistence supplies. Agricultural Development. Agriculture has been going forward more rapidly during the .last decade than any other science-for a true science it is and of the first propor tions. Experiment Stations. The agricultural experiment stations being conducted by the government throughout the states, and by the states themselves, are proving of the greatest practical benefit and utility to the entire farming population. Montana is particularly fortunate in having for the director of its experi ment station, Professor F. B. IAnfield of Bozeman, who is producing a big crop of results, both in demonstrating what should be done and in actually doing it with financial profit to the state. Population per Acre. Montana today has only one inhabi tant to every 200 acres of land. If its population per square mile was of the same density as Ohio's, Montana would have today a population of over fifteen million people, and there not only is no reason why she should not have that population, but there is ev ery' reason to expject she will have, and more too. Irrigation in Southern Idaho and Utah. The highest population per acre of irrigated farms in the United States today over any considerable area is in southern Idaho and northern Utah, where, within a continuous distance of 175 miles, there is under irrigation approximately 350,000 acres of land, within which area there is a total pop ulation of 175,000 people, which is of course equivalent to one inhabitant for every two acres of land irrigated. Laborers' Wages. Montana today is paying a higher average wage to its laborers than any other portion of the United States, and the United States leads the world in wages. Big wages mean big de mand for products, both materials of subsistence and fruits. Fruit Growing. Montana has demopstrated her posi tion as one of the fruit growing states and this industry is being rapidly extended. Encouragement is being given by the government to the set tlers of the reclamation projects to plant trees and fruit shrubs when first taking possession of their lands, and the settlers are already making a con spicuous succes in growing their trees. Crops Best Adapted. The department is also making every effort to assist the settlers in determining the crops best adapted to the local conditions and which will yield the largest net returns per acre for the money and labor involved in their production. Montana leads by a large margin, and in some cases actually doubles the yield in bushels per acre as grown throughout the United Staes, of wheat, rye, barley, oats, hay, potatoes, flax, Commission to investigate Farming Conditions. President Roosevelt, always a leader in recognizing opportunities and re quirements, has recently created a commission to which he has appointed a number of the recognized leading men in the United States and directed them 'tn investigate and determine the conditions of the farming population of the United States and recommend any and all things which will tend to improve present conditions and lead to their betterment. The presi dent has entered, with unusual enthu siasm, into this field, recognizing that it is one of the most important factors in the upbuilding of our nation. 'Permanent Settlers. Montana, by reason of the unprece dented cooperation and loyalty of its people to their state, its opportunities, and to each other, is making more rapid progress than any other state in the union in the matter of attracting and holding intending settlers, and in this Billings and its people occupy a place conspicuously at the 'head. Evolution. Evolution is nature's very process, and the development and utilization of our resources are necessarily not only our duty, but our pleasure. Nevertheless, while our best efforts and iEpheat ims are along dines of eolution and progress, we who are tak g aa.part, although an infinitesimal one .in sch deeliopment, and prqper prid n qur work, cannot, in passing, bit earry with us always, and in the kindet of re~ilections, particularly we who have been a part of to early life, as some of us who are here hawv bee5 thy conditions of the past.
