upwards of SCI. This computation,
based upon figures of the federal crop
statistlcIan, comes as q surprise to NEST
persons, but indicates the Importance
of the potato industry in this state,
not only to the growers. but indirectly
to the business. financial and CONNER
cial interests of the state.
; THE value of this states potato crop
almost doubled In the decade from 1910
to 1920. In 1910 it was valued at
ST. $780, 900. In 1919 it was valued at
$3,64S,00O, in 1920 at S5.313,O00. and in
1921 at $4,048 600, a total of SILL
911,0O0 for the three years.
1T vas no until 1919 that the pro-
duction of potatoes in Montana became
of sufficient commercial Importance
for the United States department of
agriculture to list the car lot loadings
from this state separately. That year
Montana shipped S26 cars of com
mercial potatoes. 932 cars in 1920 and
1880 cars in 1921.
This year. according to the estimate
of the federal crop statistician, Mon
tana can ship 1880 cars of commercial
potatoes, providing q market can be
found. The demand for tubers has
been unusually slow this fall and there
have been few loadings from Montana.
The unfavorable condition of the mar
ket reacts not only upon the growers
but upon the cities and towns tributary
to Montana's potato districts.
Prices Low In Fall
IF consumers will lay in their years
supply of potatoes now, while harvest
ing is on, before the crop is stored,
they will obtain the advantage of the
low prices always prevailing at digging
time. The cash received by the grow
ers will permit them to come into the
market at once for fall and winter
supplies and thus make more business
in the towns and cities.
While the crop grown in Montana
and the United States as a whole il
of record proportions. this does not
necessarily indicate that prices will be
as low later on in the season as they
are now, at digging time. Reports
from all the potato districts of the
country are that scores Of fields are
not being harvested. This action on
the part of the growers, taken only
through encouragement. may wipe out
the present prospective surplus and
result in higher prices next spring for
the crop that is dug and stored"

In addition to the three companies

The structure. which is probably the

the government, being one of the first

were on what is believed to be the

that these were carried to more than
1900 feet may, ii is said, limit produc-
ton. when found, TO the high" Of the

fTrihuns's Helena Bureau.)

Helena. Oct. 26.-Plans of the Great
Falls commission firm of Devlne "
Asselstine to erect two or three large
warehouses IN Montana next spring to
facilitate the marketing of potatoes
produced in certain sections of Cascade
aud Lewis and Clark counties have
been made public by Oshey Devine. of
that concern, who now is in Helena ar
ranging for the purchase of the potato
crop of the Helena valley.
According to Devine, it is the inten-
ton of his firm. with the backing Of
several leading ~financiers of the state,
to erect in Helena a frost proof ware
house with a capacity of 100 carloads
of potatoes, and to build a similar
warehouse with a capacity Of 10 ear
loads at Cascade. The firm also is
considering the erection of a ware
house at Simms, in Cascade county.
The Helena warehouse would be
located at q point where it could be
served by beth the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railways and
would be used for the marketing Of the
potatoes raised in the Helena valley,
where crops ranging from $50 to 400
bushels an acre are being harvested.
In 1921. Devine & Asselstine mar
keted 81 cars of potatoes raised in the
Helena valley and that firm now II

crop of that section. SO far this sea-

from Chestnut valley. Simms and Au-
susta, from where it has shipped about
30 cars.
Most of the potatoes marketed from
the Chestnut valley this season were
produced by the Mormon farmers on
the irrigated section near Cascade.
The Helena valley crops amounts to
about $50 carloads, but before starting
upon the erection Of a warehouse to
handle this crop the Great Falls firm
expects to induce farmers TO sign up
for about go acres for q term of five
years, under which agreement the farm
er is TO give the firm the first right

Thursday. The we'll is estimated at
III barrels, settled production. on its
present showing. officials of the Gladys
Belle Oil and Refining company at
Great Falls announced following re-
ports from the field. although oil men
we're prone to regard it as better thar
that amount.
The well is 4 little less than a mile
from the Gladys Belie-kearns we'll in
section 1882 W.. and is regarded as
further development OF the west end
of the field, made promising with the
coming in of the Black Magic in sec
ton 1858 ".
Fred Ford. production superintend-
ent of the Gladys Belle in the Mid
Continent and Texas fields. who is
making an inspection trip over the field,
was present at the well when it was
drilled in and superintendent the oper-
atoms. He reported to the Great
Falls office that although the well has
shown itself to be good or the initial
rise of the oil on opening the sand,
more definite knowledge must await
cleaning out the hole and setting cas-
ing. The we'll was drilled four feet
into the sand.
Following q visit at the Hogan well
in section 22-35-2 w. he said that a
control head had been placed Cd the
casing and the oil taken off through a
two-inci pipe on the eight-inch cas-
ing. Through the two-inch pipe, he
said. $50 barrels of oil was tanked in
II hours. Considering the pack pres
sure caused by pinching it down TO a
two-inch pipe, he said he believed there
was no question but that the well flow
ing through Il six-inch pipe on a grav-
ity level instead of having to force the
oil 35 feet higher, would flow At least
twice the present mount. He said
there is no question but that the well
is good for 1000 barrels on initial
production.
Oil men Of Great Falls were inter
ested in figuring the value of the well
on Oklahoma prices. The present price
in Oklahoma is about $500 a barrel.
This would place a value of more than
$4,000 900 on the Hogan well on that
basis.
