Hay at $100 A Ton Sets Record for Montana Farmer
In 1865 the first southern Montana farmer, Martin Barrett, contracted to deliver 100 tons of hay at Pine Buttes near the divide at a price of 100 dollars per ton, a record that towers over current farm prices of about 12 dollars per ton. The story notes pioneers Shineberger and Barrett who lived 48 years on their ranch and a dinner flag linked to unionist suspicions.

Pioneer Barrett and the Montana Ranching Boom
Barrett and partner bought hay at Barrett Ranch eleven miles south of Bannack in 1863 and later rebuilt a two story brick home in Beaverhead county. Barrett married Alice E. Cook at Red Rock and expanded into freight cattle and horses while living on the Horse Prairie ranch. He and Mrs. Barrett resided in Dillon in recent years as a pioneer story recalls their journey from Ireland to Ontario and on to Montana.

Pioneer Barrett recalls secesh flag signal in 1864
Barrett recounts hauling loads through a cold pass and being mistaken for a rebel sympathizer. He explains use of a red and white signal flag for dinner calls, an indignation meeting by patriotic emigrants, and Governor Edgerton ordering the flag removal as he was a Canadian with no stake in local conflict.

Ford Tractor Impact on Farm Work Expands Use and Savings
The article surveys growing tractor adoption in farming, noting 30,000 to 100,000 outputs this year, 95 producing companies, and models from $150 to $5,000. Tractors displace some horse labor, save costs, and enable 24 hour operation, with Illinois and corn belt data showing increasing adoption. Henry Ford is cited as pursuing an integrated auto tractor price target.

A. R. Erskine of Studebaker and John N. Willys of Willys-Overland forecast prolonged growth in car production and sales. Erskine cites US absorption of over 100,000 cars annually for five years, 600,000 to 800,000 replacements, and 300,000 export demand with 6.5 million farmers and 4 million wage earners ready to own cars. Willys calls the situation very good and states no further financing is needed.
