BIG CROP APPLES
IN BITTER ROOT
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE FROM
500 TO 1000 CAR LOADS
FOR THE SEASON
Report is that the Orchard Situation
in Western Montana Was Never
Better; Potato Crop VIII be Small
Ter than Last Year.

According to estimates which have
been made by railroad officials of the
Northern Pacific, the Bitter Root
apple crop will run between 500 and
1000 carloads this year, providing
the crop comes up to the present ex-
pectations and there is no hail or
wind to damage the crop. Reports
which have been received by the rail-
road are that the orchard situation
never was better.
The sweet cherry output from the
valley is estimated at present to be
about 10 carloads, while it is expect
ed that 80 carloads of strawberries
will be marketed. The first carload
shipment of strawberries to leave the
valley was shipped out last year, and
it was followed by about II more car.
loads.
The potato crop will not be as
large as it was year ago, but 1t is
estimated that between 800 and 400
carloads will be shipped out of the
valley this year.
The bulk of the outgoing shipping
at this time from western Montana
is lumber and about 200 carloads a
week are being shipped from Bonner,
Missoula, the Bitter Root
valley and the Flathead branch.
lumber shipments from the
coast to the east are running from
$50 to 800 cars every "a hours.
