Northern Montana Wheat Crop.

Basing its estimate on reports from
several sections of the counties which
the reports cover, the Great Falls
board of commerce has given out q
statement that the acreage OF wheat in
Cascade county this year will exceed
92,O 900 acres, Teton county about 1884,
600, and Chouteau county approxi'
N ately "A, 900 acres. That the census
figures when completed will exceed
rather than 60 below those announced
is the belief of the members OF the
committee having the work in charge.
The committee in making its esti-
mate as to the crop used different acre
averages for the three counties. They
have not given out their data on that
point, but the total which they give
as the probable yield for the three
counties is put at 6 1868. 600 bushels.
The wheat yield is said to promise
the best year IN the history OF Montana
and the acreage far exceeds any form
er years. There are scores OF farmeri
who report crops which will exceed 81
bushels to the acre on the average fol
as high as 800 acres. One farmer IL
Chouteau county il reported to have
l, 200 acres which will average better
than 25 bushels to the acre.

Watch Chouteau County Grow!

Three thousand two hundred and
thirty-6ve farmers, men with courage
in their hearts and iron In their blood
came into Chouteau county during the
last fiscal year and appropriated some
60O, 900 acres Of the fine farming land
OF this district from which to make
fortunes. and the few of them that will
be replaced by others with the trump
OF success up their sleeve.
This showing IL made from figures
obtained at the local U. S. Land OF.
fee, says the Havre Plaindealer.
Some of this land was taken up as
desert land but the majority of it was
taken as homesteads and upon most OF
it residence has been established by the
entryman and the actual work of re-
cl aiming and farming the land has
commenced.
There remains yet in this distric'
something over two millions of acres
Of unsurveyed public domain aud
more than a million six hundred
thousand acres that is surveyed ant
is yet open to entry.

main effective for one month. The
trans'continental line officials have
found that the real colonist move.
mens lie delayed until the farmers Of
the middle ives, have their crops har.
vested.
Local railroad men say that eastern
ot1cers report that one contributing
factor TO the unusually heavy move.
ment Is the drouth experienced in the
middle west and the settlers are bound
for the section that offers most IL the
way OF climate and rainfall.
Many inquiries are traced to the
fact that the railroads sent exhibition
care through the middle west and east
last fall. 10 these. Ears people saw
what the west could produce and their
curiosity and interest was stirred.
Montana, it is reported, will receive
. good share of the fall settlers.

Increasing The Wheat Yield.

With the mastery OF the land has
come knowledge Of plant breeding, for
now we breed fruits and grains just as
we do horses and dogs.
Ooe incident will illustrate. Some
years ago a boy worked on an Iowa
farm. He heard his fath.r and his
friends talking about whea. failure as
they sat around the stove in winter.
The boy began to study wheat; he went
to an agricultural college and later be-
came a professor in another great
farming school, the Minnesota Agri-
cultural College, at St. Anthony's
Park. His name is Willet Nj. Hays.
MIR. Hays said:
"The soil a not be changed, but
seed IN. Instead of yielding fourteen
bushels an acre, this state should pro
duce twenty.fve."
He began to grow different kinds O
wheat. From a thousand kernels ht
took one, then planted it again. HI
tertilized other plants with the pollen
and the result was a new variety Q
wheat. One of these has increased thu
yield in many sections of the state from
fifteen to twenty.eight bushels an acre
In q single year it added a small for
tune to the wealth of the farmers.
