A Wall Street formed Montana Farming Corporation plans hundreds of thousands of acres of farm land in Montana with backers including J. P. Morgan, Charles J. Sabin, James A. Stillman, and Dr. Thomas D. Campbell. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane urged the move as a wartime farming effort. The piece notes uncertainties about large scale farming profitability and cites Dalrymple Farm in North Dakota as a benchmark, arguing high management costs reduce net returns and reflecting Department of Agriculture findings on farming in the United States.

The venture, led by Mr. Benbrook, reportedly exceeds $900000 in capital investment with large yearly surpluses.

The Worle notes Secretary McAdoo favors raising the normal income tax to 12 percent for all, with exemptions of 1000 for single and 2000 for married individuals.

It details forked connecting rods, water jackets, camshaft and valve work, and ignition features, noting fourteen features cited while others remain contested. The article hints at broader historical significance and possible future scholarship.
