CORN In STATE
Is INCREASING,
BANKER THINKS
Humphrey Says Montana
Wheat Is of Such Quality as
to Demand Premium.

That corn is coming into its own as
a crop of Montana is shown IN the IN
creased acreage being devoted to 1t IN
many parts of the state. according TO
j. l.. Humphrey of the Capital Trust
of st. Paul, who returned SATURDAY
night from a trip through southeastern
Montana.
The southeastern part of the state
IS fast becoming a corn belt" he said-
There is a marked increase IN the
acreage devoted to corn in this part OF
the state and. with the Development OF
this in rotation with wheat, better
crops of both are resulting. saw
some fine yields of corn In my trip
through this part of the state. Espe~
cially in the neighborhood of Miles
City the acreage in corn this year is
large and plans for even greater
amounts next year bid good promise.
Good yields Of wheat are following the
corn and hogs are being purchased to
make the best use of the corn.
Wheat is moving but slowly, due to
lack of cars, but in some respects TINS
may be an advantage since 1t prevents
dumping.
THE best thing I noticed on my trip
through the state was the high quahtys
of the wheat raised. The best part of
it is of the quality that commands a
premium and the Montana grower who
raises good wheat is getting as good
a price as the middle west farmer on
his poorer grades. despite the differ
ence in freight. In fact the premium
on Montana wheat in many cases more
than makes up the freight difference. :
Humphrey took a brief trip to Min
neapolis and st. Paul and reported
that he found keen interest in Mon
tana development.

The special observer of the weather bureau at Ft. Bayard. New Mexico telegraphs that as re- suit of recent heavy rains cattle and range are improving rapidly and wa ter supply as well In the vicinity Of Thatcher the range is improving and in the Douglas section moderate rains are reported. While no rain has fal- len in the Prescott section and very little about Flagstaff. range and stock conditions continue good.
 Crop Progress in Arizona.
 Under the hot sun of the past week cotton has been irrigated heay- fly with the resultant rapid develop ment; in the more advanced fields one more cultivation will see ;he crop laid by and boils as large as small walnuts are not uncommon. As a whole the crop though late Is in better physical shape than the aver age of past yers With the exception of a few Marpark apricots and jelly piums. the first of the fruit is about gone. Grapes are filling rapidly and the next fortnight will see them on the market There is an over-supply Of watermelons notwithstanding the export of several carloads during the last week.
