How is this for a crop? Peter Carlson,
who is cultivating Miss Kent's ranch on
Cottonwood creek, recently threshed $500
bushels of wheat, oats and barley from 120
acres. Twenty, Ave acres Of oats yielded 104
bushels to the acre and weighed forty
pounds per bushcl. and forty acres of bar
ley yielded sixty-four bushels per acre. It
is only the wonderfully fertile soil In the
famous Gallatin valley that can produce
such crops Rs these.
Although this has not been a very re-
markable year for heavy crops in Gallatin
valley, we are informed that oar old-tims
friend, Mr.. G. Fl. Waterman, recently
threshed out $500 bushels of grain on his
farm on Middle creek. His crop was prin-
cipally oats and yielded over fifty bushels
per acre, which is not bad considering that
they run about forty pounds to the meas
ured bushel, and are worth from $l.8O to
$40 psr hundred pounds in the Bozsman
market.
