which farmers are achieving on the
Huntley Irrigation project in Montana
was ,attested in a report just received byb
the United States reclamation service
which shows $125 an acre has been real
lzed from raising cucumbers.
One farmer who turns what cucumbers
he and some of his neighbors raise into
pickles has orders from Montana towns
for 81 carloads of these appetizers. The
cucumber fields besides being profitable
in themselves afforded work for sugar
beet laborers when they are no temployed
IN the beet fields.
Seventeen new homestead filings were
made on the Huntfey project during the
past month. leaving l0S farms mostly 40
acre tracts. still available for settlers.
The report adds that $500 acres Oh the
Huntley project were planted to sugar
beets this year and that the crop which
is now being harvested will be large.
Heavy yields in small grain are re-
ported but these returns are not yet
sufficient to give actual figures.
