CROPS IN MONTANA
SHOW BIG INCREASE
Crops Bring Montana About Eleven
Million More Than In 1921;
Some Show Decrease

Helena.-Montana's farm crops will
bring to the growers OF the state this
year between 100000 and S11, 000.-
600 more than those OF 1921, according
10 unofficial figures from F. w. Beler
and George A. Scott, joint state and
federal agricultural statisticians.
The largest increase Is In spring
wheat. which will bring to the farmers
this year approximately 81, $4,000, ,
gain OF about 81 10000 over last year.
Corn will show an Increase In value
20 the farmers Of Sl,250,0O0. Potatoes,
although the crop will be little more
than 100000 bushels this year as
compared with 100000 in 1921. will
bring to the growers only about 49,
10000 as compared with S4,04S,OO0
last year, because OF the lower market
price prevailing now.
The estimate OF Montana's crops as
II October !, prepared by Mr.. Beler,
shows that spring wheat when threshed
lid not give the expected yield and
that the crop for 1922 is placed at
~, $50, 900 bushels, instead OF the &c.
)O0, 900 bushels expected when the Sep
tember / estimate was made up. The
estimate OF winter wheat at 100000
bushels remained unchanged.
The actual amount OF wheat which
had moved to market, October l this
year, liz about 10,17O,OO0 bushels. vir-
tually the same as mt the same date
last year. although " Ia only 81 per

almost 100000 bushels less than the
estimate made by Mr.. Beier a month
previous. The October | estimate or
