Agriculture in Fergus County
By Carl H. Peterson
Fergus, the third largest county in
the great state of Montana, is located
in the geographical center of the
state. It is about 115 miles from east
to west and 60 north and south, con
tains 7,178 square miles or a total
of 4 593,920 acres, nearly half of
which is deeded land. One may get
a comparative idea of its immense
size when one realizes that F'ergus
county contains 938 square miles of
territory more than the combined
area of Rhode Island and Connecti
cut.
The county is naturally divided into
two great divisions, the western or Ju
dith Basin, and the eastern or plains
district.
The former is a large level plain
between the Snowy mountains to the
south, the Belts to the west and the
Moccasin to the north and the Ju
diths to the east. Including the moun
tains within this boundary the basin
comprises about one-half of the total
area of county. The eastern half of
the county, as stated abo" lies at
the western border of the great plains
area of the west with the Judith and
Snowy mountains forming the back
ground. The average elevation of the
basin is around 4,100 feet and that of
the eastern half around 3,300 feet
above sea level.
Drainage.
The streams of the county arising
in the mountains all flow towards
the north and east, emptying into
either the Missouri or Musselshell.
These numerous streams provide am
ple drainage for surrounding country,
water for livestock and for irrigation
purposes along the valleys.
Minerals and Soils.
The mineral resources of the coun
ty comprise both metallic and non
metallic. Gold in ore quantities ' has
been mined in the Judith and North
Moccasin mountains. Great gypsum
deposits are found along Big Spring
creek both above and below Lewis
town. Large gypsum plans are be
ing established at Heath and Hanover.
Building stone is obtained from the
Kootenai sandstone near Lewistown
and elsewhere. Clay for manufactur
ing high quality brick is also found
in many localities. Coal, the princi
pal non-metallic mineral, is found in
many localities on upper Sage creek
above Windham, Buck creek above
Moore, Big Spring creek above Lew
istown, Judith mountains east of Lew
istown, and McDonald creek, Forest
Grove.
The soils of Fergus county are very
productive, containing the principal
plant food elements, nitrogen, potas
sium and phosphorus. The surface
soil usually varies in depth from a
few inches to several feet. The sub
soil is of a gravel limestone forma
tion.
Climate.
The climate of Fergus county ap
pears to appeal to all who have lived
here. The winters are not as severe
nor the summers as: hot as those of
the eastern central states.
The eastern part of the county be
ing lower has a longer season than
the basin, but has perhaps a lower
precipitation. The precipitation is
well distributed during the growing
season, about 70 per cent falling dur
ing that period. The average rain
fall at the Moccasin substation ap
pears to be 16.6 inches during the
past 18 years, which is ample for the
production of bountiful grain crops.
Nearer the mountains the precipita
tion is still greater. Another import
ant factor that enters into the crop
growth where climate is considered is
the low evaporation of this section.
Crops Grown.
The Judith Basin and part of the
eastern end are essentially winter
wheat districts, having become famous
for the yields and quality of Its Tur
key Red. Spring wheats, both durum
and Marquis, also do well. Flax is an
other cash market crop. Barley and
oats are grown for feeding purposes
and are of exceptionally good qual
ity. Corn will become one of the lead
ing crops of the Musselshell district
when that section becomes developed.
Potatoes of excellent quality are
grown in all parts, as well as all root
crops. When the two irrigation proj
ects in the Whinett section are de
veloped sugar beet raising will be
come one of the leading enterprises
of that district. The principal forage
crops grown are alfalfa, sweet clover,
timothy and in some eastern districts
Sudan grass corn for fodder purposes
is also grown quite extensively in the
Roy, Grass Range and Winnett sec
tions. Practically no irrigation is
practiced in grain growing, it being
confined entirely to alfalfa and other
grasses along the valleys.
History of Agricultural Development.
The history of stock raising in Fer
gus county dates from 1880, when
James Fergus located on the
head of Armells creek, driving in that
fall with 1,000 head of cattle, and
Governor Hr P. Brooks, who located
on Warm Springs creek with a large
herd of cattle representing the T. C.
Powers interests. During that and
the following year J. D. Waite, Fred
R. Warren. Sam Phillips, Major Wal
lace, David Hilger, Bower brothers,
Leslie Hamilton, Crowley brothers
and others brought sheep into the
Judith Basin. The first sheep, how

Treasurer of Fergus County, Mont.
ever .that were brought into the
county were brought in by Robert
Sullenger, the preceding year, and
wintered on Spring creek above Lewis
town. Frank Stoddard drove in from
White Sulphur Springs in 1882, lo
cating in the foothills of the Judiths.
Among the other early stockmen of
eastern Fergus were Oscar Stephens
of the McGinnis and Roy section about
1SSU. Oppheim and Tiegen settled on
r.he McDonald creek in 1883, later the
0. H. and S. outfit, the N-Bar and oth
ers followed. There were hundreds
>f thousands of cattle and sheep roam
ing on the open ranges of the county.
During the winter of 1885-1886,
known to all oldtimers as the hard
winter when an unusually heavy loss
of cattle was sustained, the sheep in
dustry from that date flourished un
til for the next 10 years Fergus re
mained the banner sheep county of
the state.
While farming was carried on to
some extent from the advent of the
old stockmen, yet it was not carried
on to any considerable extent until
the year of 1900, when a number of
Gallatin valley farjpers emigrated
into the Judith Basin, settling near
Moore, and demonstrated that grains
could be grown profitably on the
benches without irrigation. Among
these early settlers were Penwell and
sons, John Gaston, Clarence Robin
son, Dan Caffman, Bob Shaw and
others. Immediately following, the
settlement near Moore others came
in and took up homesteads near Lew
istown, Glengarry, Hobson, Bench
land, Stanford, Coffee Creek and Den
ton. Later others settled near Hil
ger, Winifred, Roy, Grass Range and
Winnett. Perhaps no like area in
the world saw such a rapid devel
opment during a few years as this
region did, due in a large measure to
the introduction of labor saving im
plements and the large yields of
grain received. During this home
stead period the cattle and sheep
range was gradually cut up, with the
result that no longer were the pas
tures dotted with livestock as in the
past. Stockmen disposing of their
large holdings, but 'no county has yet
been able to build up a permanent
agriculture without livestock, and
Fergus county was no different. Grad
ually the farmers began to increase
their livestock holdings until it may
not be long until there will be more
cattle and sheep shipped out of the
county than there were during any
year of the palmiest days of the open
range.
The following data gathered from
the assessors' files indicate in a meas
ure the recent growth of the live
stock industry:
1913—Horses, 17.275; assessed val
ue, $760,550. Cattle, 5.917; assessed
value, $141,786. Hogs, 2,863; assessed
value, $14,315.
1916—Horses, 25,342; assessed val
ue, $1,070,986. Cattle, 52 797; assessed
value, $1,218,399. Hogs, 8,402; as
sessed value, $43,002.
Prior to 1^(13 practically all of the
dairy products used in the county
were shipped in from outside points.
The following statement of the
Fergus county creamery from June
1, 1914, when they began operation,
unftl September, 1916, indicate the
growth of that industry: Amount but
ter fat bought, 419 102 pounds; paid
farmers, $132,190.68. In addition,
much was sold as butter by farmers
during this period.
Farmers' Elevators.
During the past two or three years
great strides have been made by
farmers in the matter of forming
their own marketing associations in
the form of co-operative' elevator
companies. There are at present 20
farmers' elevator companies, nearly
a,ll of these being operated on the
patronage dividend basis.
Fergus county schools also have a
splendid rural school system and one
county high school and several vil
lage high schools. These schools are
fast becoming noted for their many
services rendered by then^ to the
people of the county. The following
indicates their growth;
Jan. 1, 1913—No. rural schools, 87;
enrollment, 1,379; village schools, 6;
enrollment, 610.
Jan. 1, 1916—No. rural schools, 158;
enrollment, 2,117; village schools, 20;
enrollment, *1.275.
Rapid as may have been the de
velopment of Fergus county during
the past, the changes that will take
place during the next decade will be
even more rapid and striking. Every
thing that will be done from now on
is to build up a permanent agricul
ture.
