Montana Resource Focus Drives Settler Interest
Prof. Alfred Atkinson of Montana State College urged the Butte Rotary Club to study Montana’s resources before inviting settlers. He warned against placing farmers on marginal land and projected growth from 600,000 to about a million residents as Montana learns to utilize its assets. He outlined irrigation and extension work, the state’s agricultural history, and the need for larger farms and efficient systems to weather dry years.
