Governor Stewart of Montana has recently 

 been in Washington, accompanied by a strong dele- 

 gation of leading citizens to protest against with- 

 drawing any of the money which has been set aside 

 for Montana projects and placing it elsewhere. 



State Engineer A. W. Mahon of Montana re- 

 ceived word from the Department of the Interior 

 that the Little Missouri project, comprising 21,000 

 acres of Carey land, had been approved. 



The Carey Land Act Board recently executed 

 a contract for the reclamation and settlement of 

 the second unit of the Valier project, embracing 

 25,000 acres. It is estimated that this unit will sup- 

 port over 300 families. 



People who own land in the Helena Valley now 

 have an opportunity to make contracts with the 

 Montana Reservoir and Irrigation Company to sup- 

 ply their lands with water for 30 years at a cost of 

 $1.75 per acre per annum. 



Prominent business men of Roundup, Mon- 

 tana, are interested in an irrigation project in Mus- 

 selshell county, which project is unique in that it 

 contemplates the use of a reservoir site dug by 

 nature ages ago. If the plan is carried out it will 

 bring many thousands of acres under (&tfih in the 

 valley of the Musselshell between Ryegate and Mel- 

 stone.

Buckeye Open Ditcher 



This machine is making hand labor a thing of 

 the past on reclamation and irrigation work. 

 It has shown contractors and land owners how 

 to cut out their pay roll expense how to dig 

 ditches much better and faster than by the 

 hand laborer method. 



In the Everglades of Florida and 

 the swamplands of Louisiana you 

 will find any number of Buckeyes 

 hard at work, reclaiming or irri- 

 gating acres upon acres of waste 

 land. 



It can work with ease on such "gYeu'iid, because 

 it is equipped with broad, apron tractions that' 

 carry it over the softest kind of ground. These 

 tractions will even support the machine on land 

 too soggy to hold an ordinary team and wagon.
