In the seven years the railway company has maintained an office in the valley.

there has been a record ot progress. of this, of course, is at- i to the i of new settlers, but a portion can be attrib- iiig and development ot the sugar beet I augmented by new irrigation construction work and tho signing of contracts with the federal government for repayment ot construction charges. rnnluvtlon Nearly Doubled The average annual production of nil products in the lower Flathead valley is approximately 2 5 0 0 0 or nearly double the prod i in a recent, chock disclosed. A more accurate indication ot tho change that has taken place shown in a comparison of the records ot tho Indian service. The total aereagu Irrigated nnd cropped hns increased from 17.400 acres in 1023 to ncrea In 1830.

Tho valun of crops produced has Increased from SS4B.25S to J900.B66, i livestock on farms has grown from a value of $525,433 to That farming rapidly Is swinging over to a more diversified and consequently stable Indicated by tho fact that tnero were 5.426 more dairy cows, 2.3G.1 more beef cattle, 8,646 more sheer and 3,910 more hogs on tho project iu 1930 than In 1923. Brings Over 6OO Families In the period that the Northern Pacific has been engaged in. the colonization of this valley, records show that the department has brought In slightly more than 60 families and, in addlton, many Bct- tlcrs have been located by real estate men, banks nnd the American Beet Sugar company. In the placing of a large number ot families in a new undeveloped community, there is a sizeable turnover to be expected. However, the actual increase in number of settlers is indicated by tbe fact that 788 farms reported to the Indian service, as using water in 1923 as against 1.233 reporting In 1930--an Increase of 452 farms.
