Slough tor East County Rancher
Transforming a 10-acre wet area
from a place that produced only
slough grass and weeds into one
that this year produced 35 bushels
of wheat an acre, is one of the re
sults of his farm conservation plan,
according to Albert Nelson, near
Bainville, cooperating with the
Froid and Culbertson- Bainville
soil conservation district.
“And now," Nelson said, “With
that field producing so well, I can
can seed some of my poorer land
back to grass."

“This year," Nelson said, "I got
335 bushels of wheat from this 10-
acre field that a year ago produced
only slough grass. But more than
that, the water held back by the
dikes covered a large area of crop

First Election in Montana
The first territorial question submitted to the Montana electorate
of which there is record of votes cast, relates to the question of the
capitol site and was voted on in August, 1869. The contest was be
tween Virginia City and Helena. There were then nine counties.
There had been a previous election in September, 1867 on the same
question but the record number of votes cast does not seem to be avail*
able to historians.
In the election of 1869, the vote was nearly 2 to 1 against removal
of the capitol from Virginia City to Helena. Immediately following
the election, a controversy had arisen concerning the election method
employed in Gallatin county. The vote of that county was thrown
out because “the election was not held in conformity with the law,”
As Virginia City had votes to spare, the 647 Gallatin county ballots
that were tossed out did not affect the final result. It is interesting
to note that Chouteau county supported the removal of the capitol to
Helena 100 per cent.
The vote by counties:
