Montana's Opportunities
for The Grain Grower

The department Of agriculture at WASH
ington. in it's year book for $780, gives the
following information:
Average production of wheat in the
state of Montana for the year 1870, r.
555 acres, 1,929,96 bushels, value $1,177,27
The average yield per acre in 1900 was l66
bushels, which is fair average yield pro-
duction. The average value per acre n
1900 was $16.23; in 1897 the average yield
per acre was 325 bushels, and the aver
age value per acre was SD. 10. The aver
age farm price of wheat per bushel was,
in 1900 81 cents, which is considerably
less than the average of other years,
which were as follows: 1891, "a cents; 1892
60 cents; 1895, 70 cents; 1896, Sc cents; 1881,

per acre was 80 bushels. The value per
acre of oats was $16.3S. The average price
received per bushel by the farmer was
AZ cents.
Of barley Montana produced in the year
1900 POI, 900 bushels; average yield per
acre, 1873 bushels; average value per acre,

by the farmer was As cents.
Of potatoes Montanas average yield
per acre in 1900 was 1874 bushels; average
value per acre was $71 .o2; and averag
price received by the farmer was 50 cents.
Montana's hay crop for 1900 yielded H. 50
tons per acre. average value of which,
per acre, was $13.92. The average price
received by the farmer was $50 per ton.
