80 to 100 bushels per acre. The
crops of barley were correspondingly
good. The crops or potatoes were
uniformly good and the quality ex-
celIent. Excellent fodder corn was
raised in many areas that gave from
two to three tons OF cured fodder per
acre of excellent quality. In only
two or three limited areas was the
crop injured by the drouth. At the
present time there is an abundance of
moisture in the ground. This means
that If the farmers will only do their

MONTANA SURPRISES IN
AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Estimated Wheat crop of $4,000, 200
Bushels

Absolutely accurate figures regard
ing MOntana's acreage cannot be CIV
en- because the state has not yet es-
tablished a bureau for collecting sta
tistics in a systematic way. How
ever, information obtained from 9TH
er sources furnishes reasonable ba-
sis for at least approximating the
yields. There are good reasons for
believing that the wheat crop for
Montana for 1912 will not fall short
of 25,000,000 bushels. And it may
exceed that amount even. The flax
crop should give between four and
five million bushels.
Based on the shipments of grain
over the lines of the Great Northern
Railway. the production Of grain
since 1910 has multiplied by forty, an
increase that Is probably without any
parallel in the history of this coun-
try.
This increase is accounted for in
part by the rapidity of the settlement
