Free Land Vanishes Under New Law in Montana
Commissioner Greenfield reports rapid filings under the 640 acre grazing homestead act prompt in six months. Helena, Miles City and eastern offices show large acreages entered daily. The general land office data indicate Montana has extensive public lands open for entry, many as grazing and agricultural lands, with a shift toward state land value as public lands shrink.

How Non-Partisan League Started in the Plains
A dramatic North Dakota revolt, led by A C Townley and F B Wood, builds the Non-Partisan League advocating state owned grain facilities and rural credit. The movement spreads to neighboring states with 60,000 members and stems from farmer protest against grain price manipulation by eastern interests. Nine dollars per farmer funded auto tours to recruit supporters.

40 Cent Wool Realizes For Montana Clip At 40 Cents
Fred I Long of Great Falls sold his 1915 Montana wool clip totaling about 160000 pounds through a Boston house for 40 cents a pound. Earlier bids hovered around 24-25 cents while shearing at Great Falls drew no offers above 26 cents. Long, a former large flockmaster now invested in real estate, had planned for 40 cent wool and praised the result as a handsome advance over the clip price. The article then shifts to a broader profile of the Non Partisan League and Townley, detailing the movement’s growth, campaigns, and political rise in North Dakota and planned expansion into neighboring states.
