TOBACCO MAKES GOOD
YIELD IN MONTANA
Worden Farmer, Experienced Tobacco
Grower, Predicts Weed viii
Be Potential Industry
Treasure State News In
Tabloid Review


Tobacco as a potential industry In
Montana is a possibility. The tobacco
plant grows larger here and natures
more quickly than II does In other
leading tobacco growing sections of
the United States, and the product Is
equal, II not superior, in quality TO
that grown anywhere else.
These are the conclusions OF ]. w.
Tucker Of Worden, in Yellowstone
county, % miles east OF Billings, a to
baeee grower of 20 years experience
In Kentucky and Ohio. where he lived
before coming to this state. He has
experimental with tobacco for several
years at Worden and this year has a
field OF one-twelfth Of an acre. the
plants of which are fully four feet high
and which he estimates will yield at
the rate of 1900 to 1900 pounds an
acre, of tobacco which last year had
a market value OF $31 a hundred
pounds.
Another advantage in growing to-
bacco In this country which Mr..
Tucker has found, is the fact that so
far In his experience, there have been
nc worms or other insect pests to
bother 1t In the slightest.
A number of Mr.. fuckers n%eighbors
on the Huntley irrigation project, have
become interested In tobacco growing
and what may easily become a poten-
tial industry for this section OF the
country Is this year being given a trial
on n half dozen or more irrigated
farms In hat section Of the Yellow
stone valley.
Mr.. Tucker set out his tobacco plants
the first Of June and irrigated them
each week during June and July
but not In August. They will be cut
a few days. The leaves of the
are wide and with a rich color
and the plants, Mr.. Tucker says, will
average about one-half pound OF to-
bacco each. The land upon which he
Is growing II Is heavy soil containing a
little gumbo. but seems admirably
to the tobacco. He says he
never seen tobacco anywhere grow
70 rapidly and so large and develop
md mature so quickly, and declares
lis belief that with proper care the
'rop car be made to yield a ton TO the
Icre.
