some figures showing prices of farm
products and costs, on a northwestern
basis, and covering a ten-year period.
These we have obtained from the
most reliable source and we believe
they are substantially correct. They
indicate the Importance of having a
few cows, chickens, pigs, etc., in ad-
dition to the production Of small
grains. These figures, we believe,
will be very useful, as we'll as inter
esting, to all concerned in the success
of the farmer. Particular attention
is called to the steady advance of the
price of butter fat by years, indicat-
ing very little fluctuation, while many
other products have fluctuated vio-
lently.
"The increased cost of threshing
ought to suggest the exchange of help
between farmers at threshing time to
the geratest possible extent, and the
astounding increase in taxes per acre
particularly in North Dakota, the
figures for which we give here
should suggest to the farmer and
every one else the vital Importance of
more economy and use of business
judgment in public expenditure"
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1922-06-14

ranges while late are well soaked
and the crop of forage is unusually
heavy. Many ranges are coming
back where severely grazed over in
the past dry years.
A large increase is reported in the
acreage of peas planted for seed and
canning purposes. Seed peas are
Montan's most important seed crop
and are grown principally in Ravalli,
Missoula, Madison, Jefferson, Gala
tin, Park, Saltwater and Lewis and
Clark counties. Peas for canning
purposes are receiving unusual atten-
ton and give promise of veing a very
profitable crop.
Sugar beets are reported in excel
lent condition, and have been seeded
under very favorable conditions, and
good stands are reported.
A large increase is noted in truck
and garden crops and the acreage of
vegetables will be larger than ever
before, as the tendency to diversified
farming is increasing the acreage of
home gardens and truck crops.
With improved range conditions,
livestock has improved greatly after
the hard winter, and prospects are
very encouraging. The lamb crop is
below the average, due to heavy
losses Of early lambs; the later crop
has suffered a lighter loss, and the
tital crop will be about 70-75 per cent
The calf crop will be short, due to
considerable loss, but late calves are
showing light losses. A heavy loss
of spring pigs will reduce the total
number below that of last year.
Montana crop prospects are excel
lent at this time, the supply of moist
ure is the best in years, the soil is
in splendid condition, and crops have
been seeded in good shape. The sea-
son is late and seeding has been very
late, but good rains and moisture has
tended to force the late seed crops.
Some grain has been sown in the
stubble, due to the lateness of the
season.
1t Is surprising that Montana farm
ers have been able to seed so large
an acreage under the adverse finan-
cial conditions which made it difficult
for many to secure seed and feed.
The appearance of g~rasshoppers
and cutworms have been reported
from a number of counties, but little
damage has been done at times.
From an agricultural standpoint
there is a decided tendency toward d.
yersified farming, larger gardens and
more truck crops being planted, while
feed crops are receiving much atten-
ton, with an increase of sweet clover,
oats and other crops for feed. Sum-
mer fallow is receiving much atten-
ton, and a large acreage will be put
IN shape for next years crop.
