CROP CONDITIONS
GENERALLY GOOD
YIELD OF SMALL GRAIN IN
MANY PLACES GREATER
THAN EXPECTED.
Experience In Non Irrigated Farm
ing Each Year Is Demonstrating
More and More Productiveness of
Montana Soil, Says Report.

Outside of a marked shortage in the
potato crop in the eastern part Of the
state, general farming conditions are
good throughout Montana, according
to the last semi-monthly report Of the
Banking Corporation Of Montana. In
virtually all parts Of the state the
quality Of all small grain has held up
to splendid average and the yields
in many places have been greater
than was expected.
"The good quality of the grain and
the high price obtained have provided
a splendid stimulus for the Mantana
farmer, says the report, "and each
years experience in no-irrigated
farming is demonstrating more i'm
pressively the productiveness of Mon
tana soil.'
Alfalfa as rule has done we'll and
it is notable that wherever alfalfa
was grown for seed the cultivation
was entirely successful. The area Of
seeding exceeds the area seeded last
year and some authorities predict that
the area of winter wheat for 1917 will
be the largest in the history of the
state.
Corn in the eastern part Of the
state has done very we'll and is rap
idly growing in favor as forage
crop.
The yield of sugar beets has been
very large and beets are gaining in
favor as crop for intense cultivation.
Wherever there were any experiments
conducted with Bormus and Sudan
grass the yield was gratifying and it
is expected that more attention will
be paid to these grasses in coming
years.
Some annoyance was caused in the
northern part of the state by the late
ness of the season, but on the whole
harvesting has been carried on salts
factorily, being delayed on account
of bad weather only a few days at a
time. The latest government reports
show that crops have been realized
according to earlier predictions.
Early frosts in the northwestern

and north central parts of the state
were not particularly harmful to grain
crops, but all garden truck suffered
considerably. There was some wheat
loss in the northeastern part of the
state on account of rust but the dam
age was not serious because the APP
pearance Of the rust was late. Further
evidence of rust was reported in the
Flathead valley, but with no appreci-
able loss resulting.
"With review of the hail reports,
and the completion of harvest corrob-
CRATES this point" says the Banking
Corporation s summary, cit is reveal
ed that the destruction on account of
hail has been greater than the many
reports of minor losses would lead
one to believe"
Implement houses report that never
before have they had such large sales
for small tractors and machinery for
fall blowing and seeding. Although
few localities had some difficulty in
obtaining farm hands for fall work,
conditions generally over the state
show that the shortage of farm labor
was by no means serious.
AS rule the soil has been in SPLEEN
did condition to receive seed and the
conflicting work of harvesting was
ACCOMPLISHED in such a manner that
the season was not too short to cause
serious curtailment anywhere in the
seeding of winter wheat.

Honesteaded Sever Years Ago; Is Rich

One Of the most remarkable show.
ings in grain profits in Montana TO,
the past two years is that of Charles
Vaughn, Highwood farmer. Mr.
Vaughn s wheat has Melted him for
his 1915 and 1916 crops $92.75 to the
acre. His grain profits for the past
two seasons, this and last year, will
total in excess of $4,000. This pro-
fit was realized from 400 acre wheat
field.
In 1915 he harvested winter wheat
that Melted him $57 to the acre. He
intended to let his ground lie fallow
for this season, but the high price of
wheat tempted him, and this spring
he seeded the wheat field to spring
wheat, harvesting AZ bushels to the
acre.
Vaughn s story is one of the farm
romances Of Montana. He came to
the state about eight years ago, with
but little money. He filed on a 800
acre homestead and purchased an ad-
joining 32O-acre tract and it was on
these two properties that his big crops
Of the past two years were grown.
Joseph Kirschwing Of Great Falls,
who is we'll acquainted with Mr..
Vaughn, says that this farmer has
accumulated at least $4,000 during
his seven OF eight years. residence in
the Highwood country.
Vaughn has just bought an addition
al 440 acre farm adjoining his High
wood holdings, making his total hold
ing about ITO acres in one block.
He has built beautiful home and
other buildings on the place, which
is now one of the show farms of the
Highwood district.

when the war is over, and wheat
drops back to the old price, to 90 in
for mixed farming, which their pro-
fits from these war time wheat prices
have made possible. The profits
from mixed farming are not so sensa
tional as they are from wheat, but
they are more sure and it takes money
to handle the live stock that goes
with this end Of the farm game. The
average Montana farmer has the
money, or will after he has sold his
wheat this year, and will be in an ex-
cellent position to go into mixed farm

1"Vaughn's record is the best farm
achievement that has come to my at
tention," said Mr.. Kirschwing. "But
l know of many others who have
made big money during the past two
years, enough to more than clear them
of their original investment in land.
High prices are going to put the farm
ers of Montana in a strong position
financially. One more good year will
strengthen their position immeasure-
ably.
''The tendency among the farmers,
and especially the grain growers, is
to acquire more land with their pro-
fits. Montana land is at the low
water mark right now, and men like
Vaughn are laying foundations for
fortunes.

CAR SHORTAGE

MENT IN STATE.
Farmers of Montana Are Selling
Their Wheat and Are Not Inclined
to Gamble on Prospect of Future
Rise in Price.

Great F'alls.-The grain movement
in Montana is being hampered by a
car shortage that exists throughout
the country, according to A. H. Freie,
head of the grain department Of the
Farmers Equity association.
Farmers as a rule are taking adj
vantage of the present high prices
and selling their wheat rather than
gamble on the prospect of further
RISES" Mr.. Freie declares. "In many
places congestion has resulted from
the car shortage. Though the wheat is
actually sold by telegraph, it is being
hauled to the railway stations in such
quantities that some of our elevators
have reached the limit of their capac-
ity.''
He says grain of all kinds, as we'll
as hay, is meeting with ready sale.
Though hampered by inability to de-
liver promptly, the cash business is
large.
In handling freight shipments here
the railway men are giving prefer
ence to perishables and merchandise
and no cars are permitted to remain
idle.

Improved Roads Aids Farmer
Getting Produce to Market

1t is often difficult to make farm
ers believe that good roads are OF
financial value to them.
They agree readily that good roads
are desirable as a means of making
rural life less narrow. They agree
that good roads make it easier for
children to go to school, for the doc
tor to reach the farm, and for all
hands to meet for religious and social
purposes. But many of them say
that it is mere "theory' to claim
any direct financial results from road
improvements.
Now "theory,'' if true, is just as
helpful as are facts, and in this case
it is easy to show how facts support
theory. The facts can be obtained
with the help of officials of the rail
ways shipping farm products out of
a district before it's roads were i'm
proved and after the improvement.
One Virginia Case.
A specific case in Virginia may
be taken as al illustration. Before
the roads in one Of the counties Of
that state had been improved, the
largest amount Of farm and forest
products shipped out of the country
in any one year was $4,000 tons. In
1909, the amount Of dairy products
shipped was $4,000 pounds. During
that year forty miles Of road were
at an expense of 100000.
In 1911, two years after the inn
provement, 71,000 tons of farm and
forest products and $4,000 pounds
of dairy products were shipped.
The increase was As and 14O per
cent respectively in these two classes
of products. The increase in wheat
shipments was 50 per cent, in tobacco
313 per cent, and in lumber and other

farm products 4S per cent over the
best records made before the roads
were improved.
Saving In Haulage.
This is by no means all of the direct
result of havino good roads for mar
keting. 1t cost at least 20 cents to
haul a ton a mile on unimproved
roads and II cents a ton a mile on
improved roads.
The records showed that the aver
age haul of $4,000 tons Of products
was eight miles. Consequently the
improvement of the roads over which
the hauling was done saved the farm
ers $4l 500 in marketing $4,000 tons
Of products.

Der of the inquiries that have reached
the experiment station, indicating
considerable interest in this type OF

sue the following statement summar-
izlng the results Of tests:
In his book "Cereals in America
published in 1904 Professor Hunt,
who was then at Cornell University
and who is now dean Of agriculture in
the University of California, says
"This wheat is cultivated somewhat
in Southern Europe but is ordinarily
not considered productive. 1t is be-
lieved by Carleton to be adapted to
the arid districts of this country. It
is adapted for the production of mac
aroni but not for bread making.'

of agriculture.

poses. The baking tests reported
were carried on in the grain labor
atory at the experiment station where
there are modern milling and baking
facilities.
