Montana Dry Farming
Is Recognized Abroad
Member of the London Geological
Society Writes a Book on Sub
ject of Dry Land Farming
ONTANA has received signal
recognition and is given val
uable publicity in a book
which has just been issued by the Cen
tury company under the title, "Dry
Farming," written by Dr. William
Macdonald, M. S. Agr., Sc. D., Ph. D.,
Fellow of the Royal Society of Edin
burgh and the Geological Society of
London and vice president and corre
sponding secretary for South Africa
of the Dry Farming congress.
Dr. Macdonald is editor of the Ag
ricultural Journal and is agronomist
of the department of agriculture of
The Transvaal. He came to the Unit
ed States about a year ago to study
the dry land agriculture of this coun
try and, by direction of his govern
ment, attended the third Dry Farming
congress at Cheyenne, as delegate
from The Transvasl: He traveled ex
tensively in this country and spent
some time in Montana, visiting the
various experiment stations and dem
onstration farms and the Montana Ag
ricultural college, obtaining much in
formation about the methods used and
the conditions prevailing this state.
The results of his travels are seen in
his book, 13 of the 37 illustrations in
the volume being Montana dry farm
scenes. A number of them show the
results of the Forsyth experiment
farm.
Dr. Macdonald has written a re
markably clear and concise exposition
of the principles of dry farming. Be
ginning with the agriculture of the
prehistoric peoples who raised crops
without irrigation in regions of lim
ited rainfall, he has traced the devel
opment of this important branch of
science to the present day. Out of
the teachings of Jethro Tull, the
founder of a system of scientific agri
culture in the seventeenth century,
and those of the founders of the later
systems and practical farmers who
are bringing dry farming to its more
complete development in the present
day, Dr. MacDonald has culled the
fundamental principles which have
been established as basis elements in
the ultimate science of agriculture.
Tillage, seed selection and develop
ment, crop rotation, farm machinery
and farm economics are treated in
masterly manner in this volume, but
without the ponderous verbiage of a
scientific textbook.
The book is illustrated with 32 full
page and five smaller halftone repro
ductions of farm scenes, elucidating
the text with ocular proof of results
obtained from dry farming methods.
This is the most pretentious contri
bution to the permanent literature of
the world, dealing with a subject of
vital importance to many thousands
JURY IN ALLEN
CASE DISAGREES
After Deliberating for 24 Hours, Re
ports Inability to Give
Verdict.
STOOD EIGHT TO FOUR
Third Trial Is Held at Miles City and
Is Attended by Large Number of.
Witnesses from Billings.-Judge
Presided.
After deliberating for 24 hours, the
jury in the case of Lne state vs Dr.
W. A Allen of 'this city reported that
it ha.. failed to agree and was accord
ingly discharged at 6 o'clock Friday!
night. It is said that the jury took*
frequent ballots which ranged all the
way from a tie to a 10 to 2 vote for
acquittal. When the last ballot was
taken the vote was 8 to 4 for ac
qui ttal.
This was the third time the case
has been brought before a court. It
was first tried before Judge Fox in
this city and resulted in a disagree
ment, the jury staying out three days.
The trial was then shifted to Miles
City and was given a second hearing
,before Judge 'Lord. The jury re
turned a verdict of guilty, but Judge
Lord overruled the verdict on the
ground that sufficient evidence had
not been introduced to warrant con
viction. The third trial, which has
just ended, was -before Judge 'Henry
of Livingston, sitting for Judge San
ner of IMiles City who 'was dfsquali
fled on account of his having assist
ed in the defense at the second trial.
The prosecution in all three trials

the last trial 'Mayor George W. Farr
of Miles City assisted in the defense.

of people. In the western United
States alone there are 200,000,000
acres of arable land awaiting devel
opment by dry farning methods.
There are millions of acres in other
lands that potentially are areas of
great productivity. Dr. Macdonald has
given the world a story of instructive
value, as well as of fascinating liter
ary merit. It is a book that will be
appreciated by the general reader as
well as by those directly interested
in the study of agricultural problems.
This is not the first book written
on dry farming, Prof. B. C. Buffum
of Worland, Wyo., judge of cereals of
the International Dry Farming expo
sition, having issued a volume entitled
"Arid Agriculture" early in the pres
ent year. But. Professor Buffum's
books is designed to be used as a text
book and deals more in detail with
the technical phases of the science.
LOSEKAMP WINS
OIL LAND SUIT
Retains Property Having Three Re.
sponsive Wells and a Sue
eessful Refinery.
IMPERFECT CONTRACT
Alleged by Rancher Jones That the
Lease He Gave Did not Contain a
Homestead Clause, but This Failed
to Win Suit.
Millions of dollars in prospective
profits for residents of Billings, Miles
City and Wyoming points hung in the
balance at IBasin, Wyo., during two
days of the week passed until Judge
C. H. Parmalee handed down a de
cision Friday in *favor of John D.
Losekamp et al in the suit brought
,by J. Jones to have a lease on oil
lands given by him declared null and
void.
Mr. Losekamp leased the Jones
ranch which was transferred by him to
the (Montana and Wyoming Oil com
pany. The company spent $35,000 to
'$40,000 in drilling and in the erection
of a refinery. Three of the five wells
are responsive and the refinery is
outputting the several products of
petroleum.
The lease obtained by Mr. Lose
kamp did not contain the homestead
clause which the law of 'Wyoming re
quires and on this ground the at
tack was made, but fruitlessly, it hav
ing been conclusively shown that the
agreement was 'made in good faith
and without intent of evasion by eith
er party to it.
The array of counsel was formid
able, that of Losekamp including T. J.
Walsh of Helena, Judge 'Metz of
Sheridan, 'Mr. West of 'Basin, and
William Johnston of this city; that
of Mr. Jones including Judge Neus
,baumer of Oakland, ex-Governor Chat
terton of Cheyenne and E. E. Enter
line of ISheridan. With a fortress of
books 'banked up Ibefore them the
plaintiff's attorneys spent a day and
a half in making a case; the argu
ment of the defense occupied less
than two hours.
Wm. M. Fitzhugh, who has asked
for lease the Jones property, is
quoted as having said he would in
spire an appeal 'but Jones and his
wife seem to feel satisfied with the
result; also, it is understood that
Fitzhugh thinks of bringing suits on
ten other 'properties held by the oil
company under like agreement. None
of these properties has been exploit
ed.
Among the officers of the Montana
& Wyoming Oil company are John D.
Losekamp, president; C. O. Gruwell,
vice president and J. W. Vaughn,
secretary, while among the stock
holders are William Linton, W. B.
George, Charles F. Stocker, George
(Crosby, Colonel Malone, A. W. Ken
