MONTANA'S WHEAT
CROP IS PLACED AT
51,000,000 BUSHELS
ESTIMATE BY THE MONTANA
BTATIST1C1A N BASED ON
AUGUST REPORT
The Total Amount In Bushels I» Less
Than Production of 1023, But It
Exceeds the Crop Average For the
Five Year Period of 1013-1023.
Monlana farmers this fall will
market
wheat If figures given In the Aug.
crop report of George A. A. Scott,
statistician of the Montana crop re
porting service, proves to be an ac
curate estimate In comparison with
the 62,486,000 bushels marketed In
1923, and 40,506,000 bushels rep
resenting the five-year average of
1919-1923.
The preliminary estimate on aver
age yield an acre for winter wheat
in Montana this year is 16.3 bushels,
making the estimated production of
winter wheat 12,409,000 bushels.
Yields are shown In the report as be
ing good in most of the central coun
ties. very good In the Yellowstone
drainage area, but lighter In Gallatin
county, tn the north central district
and In the western counties.
From a condition of 76 per cent of
normal on August 1, a production of
39,002,000 bushels of spring wheat Is
forecast for the state. Because of
weather conditions, a small decline
was observed In the condition of
spring wheat during July. Spring
wheat was In excellent condition In
the eastern counties on August 1, but
less satisfactory west of the moun
tains.
The Scett report Indicates that the
estimated small decline in the 1924
wheat production as compared with
1923 will be largely due to adverse
conditions In the western portion of
the state. Generally poor conditions
continued In the west central counties
and some local shortage of Irrigation
water in western and southwestern
counties was an adverse factor. Crop
damage from grasshoppers and hall
was local In extent where It has been
experienced, and has been much less
severe than during the last two years.
In the eastern third of the state,
crop prospects are excellent, says the
report, and quite generally good In
other counties east of a line between
Havre and Livingston. West of this
Une, crops average somewhat lower.
Concerning the major crops other
than wheat, the report says:
Com: The condition of corn is
still low. being rated at 76 per cent,
an Improvement of one point from the
July 1 condition. A crop of 12,044,
000 bushels (or equivalent) Is fore
cast; larger by far than any ever
harvested In the state. Corn suffered
very little from dry weather, and de
veloped rapidly In July, but is still
behind Its normal degree of develop
ment at this season. Frequent cool
nights and cool periods during July
partially offset the advantages of
warmer periods. It Is expected that
there will be considerable corn which
will fail to mature this fall, unless
frosts are unusually late.
Oats: The condition of oats on
August 1 was 76, a decline of 11
points during July. A crop of 23,
256,000 bushels is morecast, being
one of the largest crops in the state's
history. The stocks of oats on farms
are much heavier than usual, as
farmers are holding a good reserve
of feed.
51,406,000 bushels of
Barley; Barley with a rating of
77, promises a crop of 2,687,000
bushels. The percentage of Montana
barley irrigated IS larger than for
other small grains, which accounts
for its relatively better condition.
Where waterfall has been short in
non-irrlgated localities, barley pros
pects are poof.
Rye: A preliminary estimated av
erage yield of 13 bushels per acre
of rye indicates a crop of 1,794,000
bushels this year, which Is much less
than the last two years, due to re
duced acreage. Most rye is now
grown for feed only.
Flax: A flax crop of 1,913,000
bushels is indicated by the condition
of 84, on August 1. As most of the
flax acreage is in the eastern counties
the prospects for a good yield remain
favorable. Considerable wilt was re
ported from northeastern counties,
with extent of injury not yet deter
mined.
Project Crop Review
Crop conditions on the Montana
reclamation projects up to August 1
were made public this week by the in
terior department. A summary of
the report follows;
Sun River. Project: Crops on the
Fort Shaw division are in promising
condition and reports indicate a
heavy first cutting of alfalfa. Grain
promises a good yield. Corn is not
making good headway due to the cool
weather. The Irrigated grain crops
on the Greenfield division will return
a good yield. In general the crops
on this latter division will not be
good, however, owing to the tendency
of the waterusers not to grow crops
adapted to irrigation farming and to
farm too large an aiea.
"Milk River Project; The first
cutting of alfalfa has been completed
and the second cutlng is under way.
The irrigation of beans, beets, corn
and grain is In full swing.
"Huntley Project: In general,
crops appear better tnan ever before.
Harvesting is in full swing and the
threshing has begun.
"Lower Yellowstone Project. All
crops are in excellent condition. 1 he
first cutting of alfalfa is one of the
heaviest ever produced. Corn is
somewhat later than usual owing to
cold weather. Sugar beets are mak
ing rapid growth.

URING the summer of 1867
the Piegan and Blackfeet In
dians of northern and central
Montana were exceedingly annoy
ing to the settlers and freighters
of the Fort Benton and the Sun
River sections, they becoming so
troublesome that, in view of the ab
sence of soldiers in the territory,
Governor Pollinger was forced to
distribute arms among the men at
the stage stage stations and pro
vide armed guards for some of the
stages operating between Fort Ben
ton and points to the south.
Late in August, 1867 parties of
Piegans visited the Catholic mis
sion situated on Mission creek, five
miles back of Bird Tail Rock, and
all the horses were stolen. Every
precaution had been taken to pro
tect the animals form the maraud
ing bands but the Indians forced
the locks placed on the gates of
the high board corral and made off
with the animals.

Montana In 1907 and to Great Falls
In 1913, while the homestead period
began In 1910 and continued until
1914.
"1 think,'' wrote Mr. Budd, "that
one of the greatest drawbacks of the
vastness of the United States Is the
lack of accurate information the peo
ple in one part of It have about parts
often remotely situated. It Is regret
table when a magazine like yours,
which, I believe, alms to be honest,
adds to the misinformation." Mr.
Budd's letter, addressed to Arthur W.
Page, editor of "The World's Work,"
In full reads;
"An article, 'Why One-Third of
Montana's Bauks Fall,' which ap
peared on page 363 of the August
number of The World's Work, con
tained the following paragraph;
" 'Those who have traveled the
western country for years know that
the district which lies between the
98th degree longitude (or the 99th
degree longitude in the north, where
evaporation la less) and the foot hills
of the Rockies, except along the wa
tercourses where irrigation can be
carried on, 1s not fit farming country
because of its inadequate rainfall. In
the northwest this area includes the
western two-thirds of the Dakotas
and that part of Montana lying east
of the Rockies. Here the average
annual rainfall varies from about 20
inches at the east to 10 Inches at the
west. At least 20 inches is necessary
to produce general farm crops,'
Refers to Experts
"The best agriculturalists do not
agree with the statement above as to
North Dakota and Montana. They
do agree that the prevailing condi
tions must be considered in order to
farm successfully In that country be
cause it will not produce general farm
crops of the character that are pro
duced in other territories where the
climate and soil are different. What
the country needs is farmers who
know how to farm there and who do
not try to produce general farm
crops such as are grown in more hu
mid areas.
"The article also states. 'Until re
cent years this se^ni-arid land was
covered with native buffalo grass and
was used only for grazing. Then
the Great Northern railway and the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul were
extended through Montana to the
Pacific coast and the land was thrown

The train was one belonging to
Turai and was engaged in hauling
freight from the steamer Flirt;
there being but eight men with the
outfit. The train had been vamped
over night at Eagle creek and the
men were in the act of yoking up
the oxen to resume their journey
Sunday when a large party o f
Indians, probably 150 in all, rode
up, made friendly signs and asked
for something to eat.
With so Small a force and being
taken by surprise the teamsters per
mitted a small number of Indians
to come within the corral, hut no
sooner had the Indians entered than
they commenced hostilities by mak
ing a rush for the purpose of stam
peding and capturing the few hors
es belonging to the train.
Fortunately the teamsters were
well armed with breech-loaders and
shot guns, which they at once let
loose, and the Indians made a hasty
retreat. But no sooner were they
out of range when they commenced
circling around the train and piling
up breastworks of rocks from be
hind which they opened fire, and in
a short time had killed or wounded
most of the oxen and had riddled
a massacre

The teamsters with F. Benard,
one of the owners of the Flirt, saw
hut little hope of escape. However,
they bravely resolved to fight it
out and to sell their lives as dearly
as possible. Making a rough for

southern Montana In 1913. The
country was settled about 1910 to
1914 by homesteaders when the gov
ernment opened the land for entry.
It was opening the land for entry
then and not the building of the
Great Northern in 1887 which was re
sponsible for the settlement taking
place. The lure of free government
land always brings settlers In great
numbers almost entirely regardless
of the ultimate value of the land to
be obtained.
"You have done this territory and
the Great Northern railway an In
justice. You have also done au In
justice to your readers, most of whom
are as uninformed as the writer of
the article. The measure of the in
justice depends upon the extent of
the influence of The World's Work.

regrettable when a magazine like
yours, which, I believe, aims to be

Take« Garrett Stuff
"The article in question seems to
be an attempt to condense two rath
er sensational articles written by
Garet Garrett for the Saturday Eve
ning Post, entitled, "That Pain in
the Northwest.' Mr. Garrett's two
articles did not complete the series.
He Is now in the northwest, gathering
data for that purpose. Like most
Incomplete things they give a wrong
impression of the whole, and I think
If you will read Mr. Garrett's final
article along with the other two, you
will agree It was dangerous to as
sume that the entire story was told
by a part of his series.
"Regardless of what Mr. Garrett
may have written or may write, this
territory has passed through a phase
which was inescapable for any new
country in the transition from vacant
government land to settlement. Ii
is, on the \jhole, a much better coun
try than easterners usually believe,
and 1 can assure that the people who
ought to know the best, those who
live ln«it, do not entertain the idea
towards the Great Northern that the
eastern writers and political dema
gogues of the Magnus Johnson type
give the impression might be Justi
fiable. Even if your statement about
the Great Northern being built re
cently and bringing settlers in im
mediately thereafter were true
(which is not the case) and even if
the Great Northern and not govern
ment free land were responsible for
settling up the country, the people
in the country would not agree with
you that settling it up was a calamity,
as the article Intimates.
"This Is a subject in which I am
intensely interested, because I think
much harm has come from alleged
information which was erroneous. In
order to dispel some of the incor
rect Impressions, the Great Northern
railway conducted a party of 30-odd
eastern newspaper men through this
territory last June, After 11 days,
during which time they met as many
local people as It was physically pos
sible to see during waking hours,
and after they had seen ns much in
that time, there is not one of them
but would recognize the misleading
impression of the article in The
World's Work I wish some of your
people could see this territory and
then write about it from the stand
point of unbiased knowledge rather
than on the basis of information ob
tained at second hand, and then from
only a partially completed treatise.
Would It be possible for ua to interest
you in having a first-hand study
made? I would be glad to co-operate
in every way.

the Matkin party was a young man
by the name of Samuel Paxton,
who could speak both Sioux and
Blackfoot, who foolishly insisted
upon going out to parley with the
Indians. Against the advice of
Matkin he rode out and conversed
with members of the band, return
ing with the statement that they
were Blackfeet and Piegans and
wanted provisions and tobacco.
Taking a sack of flour and a box
of tobacco he proceeded out toward
the Indians with the intention, un
der instructions of Matkin, to set
the things down and let the Indians
come after them. However, upon
signs from the Indians, he took
the provisions to where the In
dians were and was in the act of
setting down his load when they
rushed in upon him and shot him
down, killing him instantly.
The teamsters immediately op
ened fire and chased off the mur
derers before they could secure his
scalp, then bringing his body in
to the corral.
The Indians at once moved back
out of range and kept away while
Matkin moved his train down to
join that of Turai, still being be
sieged by the Indians where they
found that one man had been shot
through the foot, twenty head of
oxen had been killed and consider
able valuable freight destroyed. As
far as could be learned only two
Indians were slain.
The body of the unfortunate
Paxton was buried on the spot and
the Turai train was assisted by the
