Show MONTANA HAS AN UNPLOWED ACREAGE BOZEMAN, Mont, April 19. There are millions of acres of fertile land in Montana which still have been untouched un-touched by a plow, according to F. B. Llnfleld, director of the Montana experiment ex-periment station. The cultivation of this huge area would be a signal aid to the nation In the present crisis, according ac-cording to Mr. Linfield. Ho says: "Montana is a long way from any probable scene of war. We have little fear from the presence of an armed enemy, therefore all the more reason why we should do our part In the work of the nation. With millions of acres of fertile land yet untouched by the plow, a proper organization and use of tho forces available for work would increase by a large percentage the agricultural ag-ricultural production of the state. This at present is a vital need of the nation na-tion and a place where Montana can help. Our largest agricultural contribution will be for man. Whllo bread stuff must have first place, yet there must be no curtailment in the supply of livestock and livestock nrodnrfq Afr, there are many industries in the country coun-try that depend on the farmer for their raw material, while leather, wool and fiber, all farm products, are needed need-ed to provldo the clothing of the nation na-tion and this must not be forgotten. We should plan to use all our resources re-sources and let nothing go to waste that may be used to increase the crops of the farm, Its livestock and livestock products. "I hope no farmer is so selfish as to neglect to do his share for fear that present prices will come down." |
