MONTANA FARMS TOTAL SYST IN 1920
VALUE IS PUT AT One BILLION DOLLARS
Agricultural Census of Treasure State Announced by the
Bureau at Washington; Shows a Big Increase in
All Departments in the Past Ten Years

igiven by the bureau for 1920 is 3d.
523, $40 acres. The total acreage OF
the farms in Montana is given as
35,O70,656 for 1920. In 1910 the
total acreage of land in farms in
Montana was 21,525,053 less than
that, or 13,545603 acres. The value
of all farm property in Montana for
1920, as given by the census bureau,
is 1886, 961, 1908, as against S347,-
82S, ITO in 1910, an increase in the
10 years of s63S,13 ,53S, or 1885
per cent.
In Three Divisions
The land included in the farm area
of the state is divided by the bureau
into improved land, woodland and
unimproved land.
Improved land includes all land
regularly titled or moved, land in
pasture which has been cleared or
titled, land lying fallow, land in gar
dens, orchards, vineyards and nur-
series, and land occupied by farm
buildings.
Woodland includes all land covered
with natural or planted forest trees
which produce, or later may produce,
firewood or other forest products.
All other unimproved land includes
brush land, rough or stony land,
swamp land, and any other land
which is not improved or in forest.
The census classification of farm
land as improved land" woodland"
and "other unimproved land" is one
not always easy for the farmers or
t%istics, therefore, must be considered
at best only a close approximation,
says the report.
Total Land Area
The per cent of the total land
area of the state which is given over
to farming is listed as 37.5 per cent
for 1920, as against 14.5 per cent in
1910. The per centage of farm land
improved in 1920 is given as 31.4
per cent, as against 1853 per cent in
1910. The average acreage per farm
is given as 608.1 for 1920, as against
516.7 for 1910, and the average i'm
proved acreage per farm for 1920 is
given as 1908 as against 1889 for
1910.

years delinquent taxes against it.
The average cost to the farmer for
hail insurance under the state law
has been soc for each ten dollars
worth of protection per acre.
For a total crop loss the State
Board pays $1,000 an acre.. If three
fourths of the crop is destroyed
$500 is paid and for other losses in
the same ratio. A warrant for 500
of the total adjusted loss will be is
sued within 40 days after the damage
occurred. A warrant for the bal
ance will be issued as soon as possible
after the close of the season.

1t climbs a slope to rest beneath the
Or breathe the perfume of a Summer
breeze.
Here time is nothing, haste n thing un-
The hot. straight highway for the craze
of speed;
The path is made for them who walk
alone,
Whose God is Nature, and the woods
their creed,
To follow blindly where the path may
lead.
No stern surveyor made 1t thus and SO,
Nor north nor south nor east nor west
1t tends.
1t dips 10 ISIS the pool where lilies grow,
1t rises joyously where ivy bends
And meets in fond embraces with it's
friends.
Through brooding branche and embroid-
cred leaves
The sunshine filters In a golden rain,
Transforms the tufted weeds to shining
~sheaves,
The tangled grass to waving harvest
grain,
The marshy muskeg to a purple plain.
This is a path of velvet from the loom
or droning Summer. Never human
hand
Wove such a pattern, bright with rose
abloom
Along it's border. Never artist planned
This brilliant carpet nung across the
land.
Now princes leave their castles, kings
their thrones,
And unattended walk there sylvan
aisles.
They pause to muse beside this heap OF
stones
More beautiful than all the granite piles
Reared with slow labor on their ample
miles.
More dear you are than all the haunts
of men;
For never mortal in your presence stood
And listened to the whisper OF the glen
But songs forgotten sang to him again.
The faint re-echo of her cradle Groom
That sends him cropping down the ended
years
To find some long-discarded boon,
To ind again some long~-departed June.
Then, by the magic of the shade and sun,
OF tree and rose and brook and verdant
This world shall seem to be hat other
Where feet walk never, yet where souls
have trod-
And he shall hold communion with bis
God.

Montana, according to the census
of 1920, has 57,577 farms within its
borders. In 1910 there were only
26,214, an increase of 31,463 within
10 years or 120 per cent. Strange as
it may seem, the approximate land
area of the state has decreased since
1910 by 44-800 acres according to
the census figures, but this is ac-
counted for by the statement that
that number of acres have been
since that time placed in reservoirs
to supply water for irrigation pur-
poses and therefore it is no longer
classed as land area.

plements and machinery and live
stock composing the farm holdings
of the state, it is stated that the val
ne of all farm land is now $685.
912,265, as against 1926, 710,302 in
1910. The farm buildings which in
1910 were valued by the census bur-
eau at S24, 854, 628, were in 1920
valued at S84, 1885, 64. The imple-
ments and machinery on the Mon
tana farms, which in 1910 were val
ued at S10,539,653, were in 1920
valued at S55,0O4,212. The live
stock on farms, valued in 1910 at
$85,663,187, was in 1920 valued at
s154,1S7,567.
Average Value Per Farm
The average value of all farm
property per farm in Montana for
1920 is given as S17,O95, divided as
follows: Land, S11,095; divided as
follows: land, 81, 095; buildings,
S1,471; implements and machinery,
1854, and livestock, S2,673. In 1910
these values were divided: All farm
property per farm, $13,269; land,
$8,651; buildings, $948; implements
and machinery, S402, and livestock,
S3,268. This is an increase for 1920
in everything except the value of
livestock per farm, that showing a
decrease of $685. per farm or 1872
per cent.
To assist in securing compatibility
for its statistics of agriculture, the
bureau OF the ensus provided the
enumerators with certain definitions
and instructions the more important
of which were essentially as given
below:
Farm as Defined
A farm" for census purposes is
all the land which is directly farmed
by one person managing and con-
Quoting agricultural operations, eth
by his own labor or with the assis-
of members of his household
or hired employees. The term Tag
ricultural operations" is used as a
general term, referring to the work
Of growing crops, producing other
agricultural products and raising do
nestle animals, poultry and bees. A
farm" as thus defined may consist of
4 single tract of land or of a mum
per of separate and distinct tracts,
md these several tracts may be held
different %tenures, as where one
;ract is owned by the farmer and n
tract is hired by him. When a
and owner has one or more tenants,
enters, troopers or managers, the
and operated by each is considered
farm"
In applying the foregoing defni-
ion of a farm" for census purposes
,n~umerators were instructed to re-
,ort as a farm" any tract Of three
n more acres used for agricultural
purposes, and also any tract con-
aiming less than three acres which
reduced at least $3.50 worth of
arm products in the year 1919, or
'equired for its agricultural opera
ions the continuous services of at
east one person.
