UK. AMERICA'S BIGEST FARM.
200,000 Acres in Wheat and Not a
Single Horse Used. ,
flfcw' ~~"
fj; .. Farming two hundred thousand
acres is certainly a regular job. But
doing it without the use of a single
v ft horse is something else again. Yet,
preposterous as it may sound, this
feat is actually being performed by a
Montana man, Thomas D. Campbell.
%'v v...This huge farm, probably the largest
Ain the world, is a direct result of the
government's efforts to stimulate the
growing of wheat during the past two
years. The farm is devoted entirely to
wheat, and if it produces somewhere
around the country's average or twen
/ ty-eight bushels per acre, which is
practically certain it will add approx\
imately five million six hundred and
fifty thousand bushels to the 1919
, wheat crop. At the government's
guaranteed price of two dollars and
' twepty-six cents per bushel, this represents
the tidy sum of twelve million
six thousand dollars. Of course all
this won't be net profit. But* there
should be enough left, after all exr
penses are paid, to make the venture
!r "^worthwhile.
Thomas D. Campbell is the man
? who conceived the idea of the world's
largest wheat farm, or any other sort
of farm for that matter. Originally
St of Grand Folks, North Dakota, more
:-0f\ recently of Los Angeles, California,
and now a resident of the Crow In?p
dian reservation in Montana, where
he stands an excellent chance of be
w " ing elected chief of the Crows, Mr.
Campbell has astonished the wheat>
growers of the country, as well as a
: v lot of other people, by the vastness of
the enterprise under his management.
It was during the summer of 1917
that Mr. Campbell first thought of
raising wheat on a large scale on unused
Indian lands, and wrote to the
Indian Bureau at Washington outlinjf*
ing his plans and asking how to pro.
ceed to lease some of the tracts. He
was courteously informed by the sundry
obscure clerks in the department
that it couldn't be done. *They cited
certain rules and regulations and
laws to prove their assertions.
m?
But some tftirty years ago ium
Campbell took them seriously when
they told him there was no such word
** as "can't" in the dictionary. It is
rumored that he doesn't even believe
f^ much in cantaloupe or cantatas. So,
he tried again, the men higher up this
time, and the result was a long telegram
to President Wilson. Almost imw
mediately came back a reply saying
^ that the president was much interested
in the project and had referred it
to Secretary Lane, who would give
the matter his personal attention.
The upshot of the matter was thai
a week or two later found Mr. Campbell
in the presence of the Secretar>
of the Interior. The first thing the
Secretary asked him was what kinc
of contract he wanted. "Any kind.'
r-* was the reply, "just so I get a chanc*
to raise a lot of wheat."
> "What do you want for vourself?'
<*r
i
asked the Secretary.
"Nothing," Campbell replied. "I
am willing to enroll with the dollar- i
a-year men if the government finances \
the project, and if I finance it my- r
self, all I want is a chance to break !
I
even.
The Secretary saw that he was j
dealing with a man and a patriot as :
well as an extra-size farmer, so he
asked him why he didn't make it two
hundred thousand acres instead of
twenty thousand. j
"Could you handle that many
acres?" asked Mr. Lane.
"Certainly," replied Mr. Campbell,'
"only it will take more capital than
I had figured on."
Secretary Lane said he thought
that could be arranged and told Mr. j
Campbell to go ahead and draw up a
contract. The contract was drawn
and in due time bore the signature
of Secretary Lane, all the bureau
chiefs and Mr. Campbell. The Indians,
of course, were well taken care
of under the terms of the contract.
They will receive one-tenth of the
crop during the first five years, and
one-fifth of the crop during the second
five year period, at the end of
wtych the lease expires.
The next step was to finance the
project, so Mr. Campbell hurried to
New York, presented himself at the
- *** " T ti 11?
Omces OI J. r. .-Uuigau auu scui m
word that Secretary Lane had asked
him to call on a matter of business.
Whether Mr. Morgan had received
advance information of Mr. Campbell's
coming or not is unimportant.
The fact remains that he was immediately
invited in for a conference.
Mr. Morgan listened while Mr.
Campbell told his story. AX the end of
the story Mr. Morgan asked how
much money would be required.
, "Five million dollars," replied Mr.
Campbell calmly, as one might say,
"I'll take another bag of peanuts."
"Very well," said Mr. Morgan, "you
may have it. And if that isn't enough
^.as much more lyill be available."
And so tha two-hundred-thousandacre
wheat farm came into existence,
with Mr. Capbell as president of the
Montana Farming Corporation and
general manager of the whole project.
But about the absence of horses on
the farm.
All of the work is being done with
tractors. Last fall, when the first
ground was broken, there were fifty
monster machines at work tearing up j
the prairie sod. This spring others j
have been at work. They plow on
an average, of one acre a minute for
the working time. A record wras made
one day of eighteen hundred and
eighty acres turned and broken. All
the seeding, harvesting, etc., will also
be done by tractors, and then, of
course, there are the threshing-machines.
Hence the absolute no-acNcountness
of horses about this place.
One of the first problems Mr.
- Campbell had to solve was the number
of the various kind of machines
that would be required to do the
work on the entire farm. He solved
this by dividing the farm into units
of five thousand acres and the^allowing
a certain period of each operation
on each unit.
Mr. Campbell, as active as he is,
couldn't reasonably be expected to
personally oversee the wo^k on two
hundred thousand acres of land
throughout the season. So each unit
is put in charge of a foreman and a
crew of men. Each unit also has its
group of permanent and moderately
equipped buildings. It is a gigantic
propositicm any way you look at it.
And, incidentally, the man who is
behind it is only thirty-six years old.

OBITUARY.
Upon the death of Phillippe Bamberg
Murphy there passed from
among us one universally loved for
his cheerful, obliging and affectionate
nature. His friends, and they
are many, were confident they could
depend on Phillippe to befriend them
in time of need.
Possessing an unusually cheerful
disposition, his presence seemed to
impart to others mir h of his joy in
living?so he was always a welcome
addition to assemblages of young
and old.
Death depriving him of his mother
at an early age. he was reared by his
devoted aunt,- Miss Carrie Bamberg,
to whose unchanging love and faithful
guidance he owed much that went
to make the man whose heart was
always kind.
She sowed good seeds in good
ofrAiind onrl t-lio frnitc vvprd <;ppn in
his daily life.
Truly he seemed to fulfill that
greatest and last commandment "thai
ye love one another."
While many sorrow that he is no
more, those nearest and dearest to
him, his aunt. Miss Carrie Bamberg,
his wife, Mrs. Reba Murphy, and his
brother, Harry Murphy, have the
sympathy of the entire community.
