Irrigated Sugar Beets on Huntley Project. 



government and the state all have developed projects that are furnishing water for 

 over 2,000,000 acres and will eventually supply 3,500,000 acres when all projects 

 are complete. Much of the water is furnished from reservoirs which are constructed 

 in the mountains, while the irrigation works open from the principal rivers and supply 

 the nearby valleys. These irrigated lands can be obtained on a long time plan at a 

 low price per acre. They yield abundantly and assure a good crop each year.

Possibly no state offers a greater diversity of agricultural opportunity than 

 Montana. The man who believes that winter wheat production offers the greatest 

 incentive may select a location in the rolling prairie country in northeastern Mon- 

 tana, in the eastern section of the state or in western Montana. There he will find 

 farmers growing the best grade of hard wheat and producing from 12 to 35 

 bushels an acre on virgin soil. He may prefer the table lands nearer the moun- 

 tains for producing the same crop, and he will find them in central Montana and 

 in the southern counties of the state, where the production per acre is as great 

 as it is on the prairie lands. 



If the farmer prefers to engage in diversified farming, and under conditions 

 where he will not have to depend upon the rainfall for water for his crops, he has 

 the opportunity to purchase in the valleys of the state at from $40 to $100 an 

 acre, an irrigated and improved farm which will grow any crops produced in the 

 temperate zone, without the use of commercial fertilizers. Or he may settle under 

 one of the several government reclamation projects, or purchase land at a reason- 

 able price under a Carey land act project. If he wants to grow corn commercially
