BLAINE COUNTY. 



Great Falls Leader — Senator S. B. Taylor of Blaine county is in Great Falls from 

 his home near Lloyd. Mr. Taylor is one of the leading farmers and stockmen of his 

 county. "The crops look good up our way," said Senator Taylor today. "In fact, 

 I believe that the wheat and rye of our section will average 35 bushels an acre right 

 through, and that is some statement. Last year my rye averaged 26 bushels, and I 

 had as good rye as anyone in that section; this year I believe the figure will be 35. 

 Our rye is as good as that raised anywhere, and we are raising a great deal of it, 

 and with good market. Our wheat is also of the best and rates A 1 hard in eastern 

 markets. We are beginning to harvest, and the grain cuts fine. The country of that 

 section is settling up rapidly and thousands of farms now show where once was only 

 range land. And speaking of range land, the native grasses stand to one's stirrups 

 where the ground is not tilled, and all kinds of stock look ready for market. We have 

 some showing in our section of Montana, as well as in other sections, and this fall's 

 crop will ))(' a bumper one." 



BROADWATER COUNTY. 



Townsend Star — In conversation with Geo. Baily tliis week we are informed by 

 him that his wheat crop measured up seventy bushels to the acre. He says he still 

 has the wheat and the ground still bears the stubble marks so that if anyone doubts 

 the yield, the premises are open for inspection. Seventy bushels is "some yield" but 

 Broadwater is equal to anytliing in the grain line.
