7.—The
crop situation in Montana is not en
couraging. Rain is badly needed In
all' sections of the state, Generally
speaking, the outlook is worst in the
northeastern part of the state., Be
ginning on the west there has been no
complaint from Lincoln or Flathead
counties, and the- outlook if for at
least average crops-In both of them.
Conditions are fairly good in Teton
county, and with some rain soon good
crops are likely to be harvested. Toole
county Is suffering, but rain within
the next week would probably mean
a fair yield. Conditions continue to
grow worse further east until there is
now no hope for more than half last
year's yield from the country around
Havre. There is a lot of irrigated
country around Chinook, and things
look well so far as that is concerned,
but oh the benches the chance for a
crop is very poor. The same condi
tions exist in Phillips county, and
there is very little hope for a crop in
that section, although bountiful rains
this month would make a vast differ
ence. Valley county is badly dried
Up, except in a few localities, and
8herldan dry.
Central Montana Is in better shape,
including Cascade, Fergus, Mussel
shell and Choteau, although there is a
good deal of dryness in the latter. All
of them are looking anxiously for
rain, but there will be some crop in
these counties whatever the weather
may be.
Along the line of the Northern Pa
cific conditions seem Ijetter, but in the
Missoula country there is need of
rain. In Oallatln the outlook is good,
but rain must come shortly or it won't
be
BO
good and about, the same con
dition exists along the Yellowstone
and down Into southeastern Montana.
