In the Teton county bench lands,
from the town of Collins. in the heart
of the whea belt. comes the word that
all grain crops. both in acreage and
conditions, show a very gratifying in
c1ease over 1911. There is fully fifty
per cent more spring wheat, and the
winter wheat, owing to wet weather at
sowing time, shows only about IS per
cent increase. The average for all
heat, surely, will exceed 90 bushels to
the acre.
In the Big Sandy and Box Elder Sec
lions, on the Havre division. north of
here. there is the same fine promise
for good wheat. Fort Benton, be-
tween this city and Big Sandy, has
some of the best wheat in Montana.
George II. Stevens, one of the big
farmers OF Montana, has 1000 acres in
one body, that many have estimated
at so bushels an acre.
II. +. Richards, cashier of the Great
Falls National bank. has coo acres of
Falls. from which he expects to har-
vest $4,000 bushels-an average of
IS bushels to thej acre.
In the vicinity of Augusta. which
has been settled but recently, it is es-
timated by j. w. Abbey. cashier of the
bank there. that there will be harvest
ed betkeen 5000 and 5000 acres of
wheat this year.
Flax. which has already been PROV
en- to be one of the roftable crops
for Montana, is universally good. Sec
tions where last year the farmers were
please to get seven or eight bushels
to the acre, are estimated this year
from Is to 20 bushels. Professor
Thomas Shaw, the 'Grea: Northern
railroads crop expert, says the yield of
flax in Montana this year will exceed
10, 900. 900 bushels.
