Subject: Re: homesteading in montana from 1915-1930 From: montanakid-ga on 13 Jul 2005 13:36 PDT Homesteasing in Montana took off for four big reasons. First was an expansion of the Homestead act that allowed filing on a full section of land and then a shortening of the time to "prove up" claims. Second was the Great Northern Railroad of James Hill. Hill's link from the Twin Cities to Seattle across the nborthern tier of the nation was accompanied by a great deal of promotion as Hill sought to populate the land along his railroad. His ads would depict Montana as the proverbial horn of plenty. This coincided with a great influx of Northern European immigrants, who made up a majpor share of the homesteaders. Third was the advent of World War One which shot grain prices to their highest level. And fourth was an unusually wet cylcle in the weather. All of this combined to feed the drive of homesteaders to Montana. Two major things ended the boom. In 1918 the World War ended. At that same time Montana cycled into a drought. Farming practices, taken from methods of wetter climates had destroyed the ground cover. There was nothing to prevent wind erosion of the soil. Montana was in a "dust bowl" well before the southern midwest. Montana sank into a depression a decade before the rest of the nation. So many people flocked out of the state between 1918 and the taking of the 1920 census that historians have estimated that as many as half of those who flocked to Montana in the teens to homestead were gone before they werre counted. As it was, the teens still proved to be Montana largest period of growth by percentage. It changed the face of the state. Towns sprang up all over what had been mostly empty rangeland and an orgy of county-splitting more than doubled the number of Montana counties. Some now have less than 1,000 population, with very little business to sustain them.
