Reports Show That Treasure
State Is Better off Than
Many Folk Believed
HELENA, Mont.—The following
crop summary is a fair indication of
the agricultural situation in Montana
at the close of November, says the
division of publicity of the state de
partment of agriculture. It was com
piled by the Montana Extension serv
ice and is based upon reports from
•county agents.
•Blaine: Marked improvement of
weather conditions during November
has permitted a general clean-up or
ail farm work, with practically all
ci ops threshed and much of the grain
in the elevators. Damage to grain,
due to wet weather in September and
October, will not run as high as an
ticipated. It will not suffer more
than 10 per cent loss. Practically all
the acreage of sugar beets has been
harvested, as well as potatoes. There
was some slight damage to the lat
ter, possibly 7 per cent, due to freez
ing in the ground. The fclean crop,
while not a large acreage, will suf
fer more heavily than any other, and
l-'-r this crop may run as high as

winter wheat in fine c
seeding yet. Hay trop good. Baled
alfalfa moving good, at $14 a ton.
Livestock in good shape.
Custer: Weather conditions have
been generally mild during the month
of 'November, which has perrnitÉMU»
abled farmers to get much of their
grain to market. All small grain
threshing done except small lots of
alfalfa and sweet clover seed. Cattle
shipments complete with a consider
able number of hogs still to go to
market.
Fergus: It is estimated that the
acreage of winter wheat was about
50 per cent to 60 per cent of nor
mal, the decrease being due to very
dry weather early in the fall and fol
lowed ihy an especially stormy peri
od through September and October,
which prevented seeding the usual
acreage. Condition of winter wheat
is generally good, although some of
the later seeded fields have . made
very little growth this fall. Good
weather during November has enabl
ed ^farmers to complete threshing op
erations in practically all parts of
the county along some of the foothill
districts. Cattle shipments have been
heavy, as stockmen have been reduc
ing their herds rather closely due to
better prices and to a smaller surplus
of feed than in former years. Con
sideraibilei interest is manifested in
dairying, this being stimulated by
high prices cf dairy products and a
general tendency for more diversifia
cation on farms.
Gallatin: With the exception of
the last two weeks in November, very
little threshing of small grains has
been possible since the middle of Sep
tember, due to wet weather. At the
close of the moftth approximately 50
per cent of small grains remained un-
threshed. The potato crop was har
vested without any loss, but approx
imately l0 per cent of the seed pea
acreage has been badly damaged.
Comparatively small acreage of win
ter wheat seeded on account of bad
weather, and likewise but little fail
plowing done. Stock in excellent Con
dition. Abundance of hay available
for winter feed.
Hill: Good weather through No
vember has permitted farmers to
clean up all delayed threshing. Prac
tically all small grains are in granar
ies or elevators. Some damage to
potatoes due to freezing and dam
on grain that stood out d
weather will run 20 per cent to

30 per cent. An abundance of winter
feed is available. A good many cars
of hogs will be fattened and shipped
from Hill county. Recently a car
handled through the Hill County
Marketing association topped the So
attj market at $12.40 a hundred.
Stock generally in good shape and
should winter well.
Lew» and Clark: Most of u,.
crops have been harvested to datl
with the exception of sugar beets.
Severai tracts of beets in the itorth
arn part cf the county are stUl in
the ground, but if weather conditions
keep up as present, the crops will be
taken care of. Large portion of pôÀ
tatoes in the county are in stor
age; few cars moving to eastern
points. Buyers active. Some live
stock yet to be shipped from county.
All cattle, sheep, horses and other
livestock are in good condition with
plenty of hay to carry them through
the winter.
M
grain was harvested before wet
weather began. Irrigated wheat and
oats have yielded above average, the
oats are slightly colored. Wheat
and oats have filled extra well. Hay
was extra heavy this year, both alfal
fa and wild. About 1 per cent of al
falfa was lost by wet weather but
the total amount on farms is at
least 10 per cent greater than last
year. Price around $6 in stack is
prevailing. Pea growing " is on the
increase. About 30 carloads of 80,
000 pounds each were shipped this
year. Quality is extra good being
free from weevil and well matured.
Due to excellent range during sum
mer, cattle and sheep come. in with
more flesh than usual. The abund
ant supply of cheap hay has helped
to increase price of stock and feeding
cattle. Dairying is gradually devel
oping in the county and is especially
attractive this winter. Farmers gen
erally are more prosperous and op
timistic this year than since the war
period.

SEED PEA GROWING -
IN LINCOLN COUNTY
e
That seed pea growing is a prom
ising new agricultural industry in
Lincoln county is indicated by the ex
cellent results from the farm seed
pea demonstrations conducted by the *
Lincoln Ccunty Extension office dur
ing the past summer. A great many
farmers co-operated with County
Agent F. A. Given in the tests and
with few exceptions, uniformly good
results were obtained. An average
yield erf 20 bushels to the acre was .
recorded in many of the tests» W.
R. Smith realized a return of $28
from a one-half acre plot besides re
taining an equivalent amount of seed
to that used in planting. Mr. Given
reports that a number will go into
seed pea production more extensively
next spring.
