LARGE FARM OF
200,000 ACRES
! TO BE WORKED
GREAT FALLS, Mont. Feb., 8—
Wheat will be harvested next fa'l
1 from one of the world s largest fanm*
comprising about 200,000 acres of In
dian lands in Montana and Wyoming.
Of this big tract, about 33.000 acres
of irrigated land have been plowed,
and seeded, and the remainder it is
announced will be cultivated duiing
the coming summer.
The land is located on the Crow,
Blackfeet and Fort Peck reservations
in Montana and the Wing River reser
vation in Wyoming. To make this land
productive a corporation with $2,000
000 capital was organized last spring
when Thomas D. Campbell, a North
Dakota farmer conceived the idea of
cultivating the thousands of acres of
the Indian lands in Montana and Wy
oming. He lacked capital but obtained
the approval and assistance of the*
Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K.
Lane, and J. P. Morgan and other
leading New York bankers. The cor
poration was then formed with several
of these bankers ns members of the
board of directors and Mr. Campbell
as president.
On thia huge farm not a horse will
be used. Instead, large tractors cap
able of turning over large quantities
of prairie sod were purchased. In all
52 of these machines are now the pro
perty of the corporation and the plow
ing record for last summer was moi~
than one acre a minute and broken.
It is proposed to organize the farm
into 5,000 acre units, each with its
own group of permanent buildings,
modernly equipped and in charge of a
competent farm manager. Each farm
will, be separately managed. Contracts
for the leasing of the land on long
term agreements have been executed
with the government through Secre
tary I-une.
Many acres of similar land exist in
»practically all of the Pacific ( oast
states as w'cll as in Colorado , and
steps are being taken to open that
land to returning soldiers. No steps
have thus far been taken in Montana
to invite soldiers to settle on the un
cultivated land.
