OF 1923 CROPS
MORE THAN $4,000 900 BUSHELS
OF WHEAT PRODUCED
LAST YEAR
Corn, With Nearly 1O,OOO,OOO Bush
els Grown, is Replacing Rye as a
Feed Crop; Potato Crop is Getting
Larger Each Year.

Despite the materially decreased
value a bushel this year, the total
value of all Montana's crops produc-
ed in 1928 is sos, 1885, OO, more than
100000 above the figure for 1922.
The totals are shown in figures
prepared by George A. Scott, statis-
tician of the Montana Cooperative
crop reporting service. Revisions

ages of crops are decreased some
what, or remain the same. Revised
figures are based upon the latest
available data, such as records of
movements, elevator and mill receipts
and the annual farm census on crop
acreages taken through county asses
sors, which have been the most i'm
portant factors in determining chan
ges.
Large Wheat Crop
In 1928, Montana farmers produc-
ed 5~2,486,0O0 bushels of wheat, 22,-
2O9, 900 bushels of oats, 2,7O3, 900
bushels of barley, 2,112,000 bushels
of rye, 100000 bushels of flax, o.
100000 bushels Cor e%quivalent) of
corn, ~2,637,000 tons of hay, $4,000
bushels of commercial apples, $685.
600 bushels of beans, 100000 bu-
shells of potatoes, 253,0OO bushels of
seed peas, and 10000 bushels of al
falfa seed. The sugar beet crop this
year is valued at nearly s2,500,0O0.
Among the important agricultural
accomplishments of the 1928 season
are the big increases shown in the
acreages Of corn, oats, barley, sugar !
beets, beans and hay crops. These
crops combined cover $4,000 acres
more than they did in 1922, which
indicates that Montana farmers are
growing into diversified farming pro-
badly as rapidly as reasonably can
be expected under prevailing econo- I
mic conditions. t
Compared to 1922, average yields t
and production this year fell off in t
most of the eastern two-fifths of the {
state, while production was much
heavier in the central and northwest
portions, and generally in other dis
tricts, except a part of the north cen
trail district, where grasshoppers we're
very destructive.
Winter Wheat and Rye
The winter wheat acreage seeded
last fall in the state is estimated to
be $4,000 acres, a decrease of 10
per cent compared to the 100000
acres sown last year, and to $4,000
acres in 1921. A decided decrease is
reported in the important central
counties, whereas comparatively
large increases are noted in the east
ern and southeastern districts. The
condition of winter wheat is 80 per {
cent of normal, compared with SO t
last year, and with 80, the 1O-year I
average on December L. Moisture r
conditions were very favorable this :
fall, and seeding continued later than !,
usual. Early seedlings have made =
good growth, and late fields are III !
fair to good condition. P
The rye acreage is placed at 1885,, z
700 acres, or 70 per cent of last year,
when the acreage was 10000; the
acreage seeded two years ago was q
acres. The decrease has l
marked in Blaine and other nor l.

The Final Plans ,Iadgc Made Before
 Leaving With Mamie

Katherine made no comment upon the suitcases in the tonncau, seeming ly so absurd an adjunct Of our trip from the farm to meet her at Patch- ogue.
 Ordinarily. I knew her sense of the ludicrous, always highly de- ,elopcd. would have prompted some mirthful query 10 me, but from my telephone message she knew that my need for her was drastic. and her quick. shreWd look at the girl, Mamie, beside me, told me that she also realized where my problem lay There would be no testing nor any other remark besides the common place from Katherine's lips while Mamie was within hearing.
 She devoted herself wholly 10 the children on inc trip home, and they babbed happily 10 her, while l drove at as good pace as l dared with the children in the car. And all the time Mamie sat beside me, her snl- len hostility so plain that l fancied ] could feel 1t as l migh blast Of cold air.
 When 1 turned in, at the gate l spoke to Mamie for the first time:
 "Go up on the veranda. to that porch chair. and stay there until I come" directed. and as she obeyed me I turned to the tohneau where Junior, with his arms amound kath- crime. neck. was almost choking her in the exuberance of his joy at hav- ing her back again.
 Junior Thinks swiftly
 katherine's face was no less radi- ant, although in her eyes l fancied there lay the shadow which had surprised in 1t many times, and the cause of which inadvertently had dis covered one night when we were talk ing turns in watching over Junior in an attack Of the eroup. Never shall I forget the anguish of her face and voice when thinking l slept she bent over Junior and whispered: oh God. My empty arms."
 Tin afraid shall have to inter- rupt this betting party" said. Marion laughed gleefully at the banal jest. and Katherine loosened Juniors arms reluctantly. My little lad looked up at mo with dismay in his eyes.
 "Auntie Katherine not going away" he demanded.
 No. sweetheart" | soothed. she's going to stay with you and take care of ,ed for while"
 Remembrances Of similar occasions patiently came back 10 my small son. and bis lower lip dropped pathetically.

 His reply was prompt:

 "0h Junior" she exclaimed. Lets so and ask Katie fl we may have a

 'aAnd what will you do. in the meantime?" Dorothy asked.

That isn't very big boat, and your grub will be limited. the best you can do.

 Perhaps the best plan would be for you to stay and hunt. too. ierked venison is a fine ration, and with the little VIC have here fl would be all wed need for the trip"
 Hut only ono or ITS can hunt. be- cause we've got only one rife. Mir. lshmin." Pete argued politely.
