Sept. 15 -- Sept. 15 – On this day
in Montana history in 1910 The Newspaper of Chester published what it called
the “Ten New Dry Landers’ Commandments” on its front page. Among them was “thou shalt plow deep,” “thou
shalt summer fallow when rainfall is less than 15 inches,” “thou shalt add
organic matter to the soil.” The list ended with “he who obeys these
commandments shall reap abundant crops.”
