REPORT ON GRAIN CONDITION

REPORT ON GRAIN CONDITION
The acreage condition of the winter
wheat and rye crops are the important
features of the crop report issued by
the bureau Of crop estimates at Wash
ington this week.
The acreage of winter wheat in
Montana has just about held its own
as compared with that sown the fall
of 1916. This perhaps wise restric-
ton of the winter wheat acreage has
been caused by the high price of seed,
the serious losses resulting from Win
ter killing the past two years, the
necessity for spring seeding to COM
bat weeds and, to a limited extent, the
labor shortage more or less general
over the state. Due to the adverse
soil conditions and a serious lack of
moisture The condition of the crop
on December 1, was low; being only
80 per cent of normal as compared
with the light year average condi-
ton of 81 per cent. This condition
figure would indicate a crop of ap-
proximately l8,50o,00 bushels; to be
greater or less as the condition of the
crop improves or goes backward from
now until harvest.
Especially in the northern and east
ern sections of the state there has
been a marked increase in the acreage
sown to fall rye, amounting to over a
IS per cent increase, as compared

FATTY JONES WRITES POEM

FATTY JONES WRITES POEM
There is many a boy in this camp to-
night,
With hearts anything but light,
For the folks at home have grown
careless;
And neglected or ceased to write.
Just look at the man that receives
mail,
See the look in his eyes and the grin,
For he is the man who surely knows
There are friends back home who
are loyal to him.
And so dear bunch since l must go,
Fighting through thick and thin,
The farther away from friends one
goes,
The closer they are to him.
But rest assured, that one Sammy

Who is doWncast and tired and blue;
And no matter how far from home l
60,
Therell be room in my heart for you.
There are many sad sights in this
old world,
But the saddest by far, I'll swear;
Is the soldier lad when the mail is
called out,
Who can't step up and answer HERE.

to that of a year ago for the state
as a whole. The condition of the crop
is but fair, being only 80 per cent of
10 year average Of 81 per cent on
December /.
The exceptionally mild fall wealth
er continued through the entire month
of November and into December,
greatly relieving the rather serious
hay situation and permitting the con-
tinuance of all farm work. In spite
of the dry condition of the soil there
has been a great increase in the
acreage brought under the pillow and
prospects for spring sowing, especial
ly of wheat, are now excellent.
The detailed report for the United
States and Montana follows:

was natural that Newlands, a gifted
speaker and with a faculty for making
and retaining friends, should become a
partisan. His birth and associations
made him n Democrat. There was still
a strong division in the Democratic
party between the Northern and
Southern Democrats which in Cali
fornia was intensified by the feeling
that had arisen when Senator Broder-
ick had been killed in duel by Judge
Terry scarce twenty years before.
Newlands was happily placed. He
did not allow his Southern birth 10
interfere with his northern friend
ships and he went easily into the in
ner councils OF his party.
THE CONSTITUTION OF 1879
He opposed the adoption Of the con.
sdtution Of 1879 in California which
put him out of harmony with the New
Constitution party, to which many
members OF the southern wing OF the
Democrats. led by David s. Terry, had
gone. but. with the election OF George
C. Perkins by the Republicans as gov
ernor. the Democrats of all wings
came together and for a time theirs
was harmony.

Newlands was ambitious. He was
wealthy. his standing at the bar was
of the highest. and he had been very
close TO a congressional nomination in
California; But the Ctockton conren-
ton created such dissension in the
ranks of his party that he must have
seen the impossibility Of winning an
election in that state. At any rate he
had already acquired large interests
in Nevada and in 1888 he came to this

in the newspapers OF the coast that
Newlands had set his eyes on the con-
