Heralded as the most market! ad-1

seems strange it was not thought of
long before. But Secretary Moore
takes no credit for it; he says it was
forced upon the fair by the scores of
letters from farmers throughout the
state announcing they and their fam-|
ilies intend to motor to the fair for
the first vacation in several years.
We're going to make tent reser
vations!," said Mr. Moore, "for all
Montana people who request it and
accompany their requests by the ad
mission fee for the number of days
they want the reservation to be in
effect. The tents will be numbered,
and the family applying for the res
ervation will find their tickets and
tent number at the general ticket
booth. Then they will be fixed out
for as long a time on the grounds
as their tickets cover. The general
admission charge to the grounds will
admit them to the electric lighted
tourist ramp, give them a tent, free
fuel, use of the • children's play
grounds, the day nursery, admission
to the elaborate night allows, and
other privileges.
Tourist camp reservations are just
as logical as hotel reservations,
sleeper reservations or reservations of
« I
a
other kinds. The number of farmers ;
who have written in that they are
coming to the fair by auto this season

FARMING IS POPULAR WITH
MONTANA VETERANb.
According to a report recently made
by the Helena, Montana, sub-district
office of the U. S. veterans' bureau,
back to the soil" movement has
many adherents among the disabled
veterans of the state.
This report shows
abled soldiers who have been approved
for vocational training have selected
some phase of agriculture for their
vocation. This is approximately one
fifth of the entire number of men who
*4
that 225 dis
j have accepted training.
I This marked preference for agri
j culture among the veterans is proba
j bly due to the fact that a large pro
portion of them were farm boys be
fore entering the army, and to their
inherent desire to control their own
activities and enjoy independence of
is employment.
The average farm course is thirty
months in length and the institutional
part of the men's instruction is given
at the State Agricultural college.
This is supplemented by project train
months on land owned by the train
ees.

The actual number of disabled vet
erans who are receiving practical
training on farms in Montana this
summer is 170. Their projects are
located in practically every county in
the state that is suitable for farming,
Reports indicate that they are mak
ing excellent progress. Instructors
from the state college of agriculture
and supervisors from the U. S. veter

to assist them and see that their work
is progressing satisfactorily,
