CROP REPORT

| Estimates of the States production
and average yields per acre of GER
tain important crops. made public to-
day by Guy Fitzpatrick, Montana
Field Agent of the u. S. Bureau of
| Crop Estimates, further reflect the dis
advantages and adverse conditions
which have beset the producer during
the past season. Extremes in all
phases of weather conditions, late
spring frosts, longf continued drouth
lack of irrigation water, high winds
and extreme summer heat, we're the
principal causes for the poor results
obtained from the greatest acreages
sver planted in the Stste. The aver
.ge of yields per acre this year Of
Ill the States crops combined, duly
weighted according to their relative
Importance, compared with their
yields for recent years is perhaps the
most condensed and conclusive way
in which the results of the adverse
season may be expressed. This aver
age is only 40.4 per cent of that OF
recent years. The corresponding aver
age for the United States is 99.8 per
cent
The report in detail, place the aver
age yield per acre of corn at 1874 blu.
with quality of 81 per cent. These
estimates are compared with 21.0 bu-
shells and So per cent, the average
yield and quality last year, and 24.6
bushels and SO per cent, the 10 year
average yield and quality. The pre-
liminary estimate of the total corn
production of the country is $780,
250,000 bushels. This makes the 1919
crop one of the largest ever produced
it being more than 160 1000, 900 bushels
greater than the average crop for re-
cent years, and only exceeded three
time in the past thirteen years by the
record crops of 1912, 1915 and 1917.
1t is estimated that 10 per cent of the
1918 corn crop of Montana was re-
naming on farms on November /,
1919, and that 2.8 per cent of last
years total crop for the country, or
72,263,000 bushels, was on farms on
the corresponding date. Approximate
ly 15 per cent of the total corn acre.
age of the State was put into siIos this
year.
On an acreage somewhat reduced
from that of last year, the lowest av-
erage yield per acre on record since
accurate data has been available was
from the states potato crop.
The yield this year is placed at 60
bushels per acre, indicating a total
production of only 2,820,000 bushels,
Is compared to 135 bushels, the yield
asst year and 141 bushels, the 10 year
average. The quality of the crop is
)nly 81 per cent, which is consider
ably lower than last year and the aver
ige. The average yield of potatoes
,or the United States is estimated to
De S7.9 bushels and the total produc-
ion 352,O25.OO0 bushels.
The fax crop yielded on the aver
ige only 1T bushels per acre, pro-
lucing total of S09,200 bushels, the
ighest harvest since 1910 when this
:rop first attained importance in Mon
ana. The total fax crop of the coun-
.ry is also very much less than usual.
being only 9,45O.oO0 bushels as COM
pared to 1867 900 bushels last year

CURB OFF WHEAT AND FLOUi
DEC. is U. s. ANNOUNCES

New York, Nov 21-Embargoes or
wheat and -four will be lifted Dec,
| 15,it was announced by the United
States grain corporation, today.
Lifting of embargoes on both ex
ports and imports followed the ac
tion of President Wilson in Washing
ton, today, in signing proclamation
completely terminating the embargo
control wich has been in effect for
more than two years.
Control over embargoes first was
exercised by the war trade board
to protect supplies of wheat and wheat
-four for the allies. Later control
was taken over by julius H. Barnes,
wheat director, under the wheat guar
anty bill.
Discussing the lifting Of the embargo
Mr.. Barnes said:
This is one step in the necessary
reconstruction of trade facilities brok-
en- by the war, which must function
when the grain corporation terminates
its three years work. While ocean
transport conditions and also disor-
ganized international finance will pro-
badly prevent free trading between
merchants of the various countries
for some time, 1t is expected that,
step by step, international trade may
be re-knit in the usual channels. I'm
til this is fully accomplished, the
grain corporation will continue to sell
from it's stocks of wheat and wheat
-four to the foreign trade that is not
supplied under private business in
itiative.
This release of embargo also per
mits Canadian wheat and wheat -four
to enter American markets free Of
duty, under rulings of the customs
service. 1t is expected that this will
greatly enlarge the United States sup
ply Of spring wheat flours, which are
favorites in the baking trade and
which, because of the partial crop
failure in the Northwest this year,
have been relatively in light supply"
Mr.. Barns also said that the sales
Of the grain corporation from its
stocks-largely in west
ern markets-to American mills, un-
der it's advertised offer, effective
amounted to about 10000
900 bushels
He added that mills in all sections
now are amply supplied with wheat
though some particular qualities OF
wheat are relatively in light supply.

(Heywood Broun in the New York

When the managing editor gave US
the book reviewing job he said that it
would be an education for us. In a
sense he was correct. but looking back
over the man books we have read since
we find it a little difficult to arrange
the various facts which have swept
past us We remember much, but as
yet it is largely unrelated. 1t suggests
no theory of life to us, no plan of gem
eral culture no scheme Of human con-
duct. Perhaps if we outlined the
things which we have learned someone
else can help us to discover the in

Louis XII in st. Louis the night of

MESA ROAD WORK
HALTED; NO ROCK
IS REASON GIVEN

MESA, Nov. 20-Unable to secure
the right kind of crushed rock for
foundation work as it was supplied by
the state engineers department, con-
tractors on the Tempe Mesa link of
the state highway have been forced
to make an indefinite stop in their
work. Preliminary work to the laying
of the pavement was started over a
month ago adjoining the pavement on
West Main street of Mesa, but it is
feared now that all progress will be
halted for another month or month and
a half.
Under the existing contract, it is
understood, rock for the roadway was
to be furnished by the state engineer
department. The material supplied
was taken from the quarry several
miles west of Tempe on the Phoenix
highway, and according to reports,
does not show the proper analysis for
foundation rock. Further work will
be delayed pending the receipt of a
report on the analysis of rock that was
recently sent to the San Francisco
laboratories.
Though the first half mile of the
new roadway has been torn up and
made ready for the new pavement less
than hundred yards has been laid.
In the meantime the road remains
closed and travel is directed principally
over the south road to Tempe.
