Montana will establish itself
this year even more firmly as the
nroducer of the worlds best wheat.
Already a determining factor in
fixing the price of the top grade,
the state this fall is sending out
to the world a product that grades
considerably above the crop of
1923. 1t was estimated recently
at the office of G. III. Moran, state
grain inspector, that Montanas
wheat crop will average L percent
above that of last year in protein
content.
Spring wheat graded by Inspector
Moran ranges in protein content from
1917 to 1917 per cent, both of these
figures being extremes for the hlgh
and low and not representative of the
average crop. The correct figure
will be approximately mid-distant
between these extremes and from
the run of the grain now going
through the inspectors office, Mr..
Moran estimates that when the bal
ance is struck at the end OF the
season the average will be a full
point above the 1928 mark. The
ouality of winter wheat will be cor
respondingly high.
Testing for the protein content has
been carried in at the Great Fails IN
spector's office during the last year,
following the installation of special
equipment for the work. The volume
of wheat handled this year is show
ing a pronounced increase over form
er seasons, Inspector Moran stated.

thus far, in addition to the package
samples that are sent in.
With the threshing of the 1924
crop well advanced, estimates by
grain men on the states total yield
conform closely to the figures COM
piIed earlier in the season. Unot- |
ficial estimates of the yield in north
eastern Montana are running some
what higher than before harvest, and
if these are borne out by the final
figures it is regarded as probable
that the states crop will run sub
above the pre-harvest estl-
mate.
Individual yields running up to
so bushels an acre are being reported
to Great Falls grain men from the
FLEETWOOD and other of the main
wheat districts, with 80 bushels rep
resenting the minimum yield, with
few exceptions. The Judith Basin,

If huge acre yields and northeastern
Montana is ranking high. The terri
.ory between Great Falls and Belt
and the Conrad, Dutton and neigh
boring sections are maintaining high
averages.

When many were present he said
little; taking no apparent interest
in what was going on about him.
His favorite seat-in fact the only

bench against PARTITION, at right
angles with the stone fireplace, and
close to it. There he would sit
gazing into the fire, and, as I have
said. when he had a small audience
he told us stories of his eventful
life in the Rockies, that held us
spellbound, and kept two little boys
who were in bed on the other side
of the thin partition, awake until
the stories were ended.

As he failed to do so by that time,
eight of their number went on.
By the time Granville was able to
travel, the Mormons had all the

to go either way; the feeling

are two ways to participate in the
wealth that oil brings. One is to
buy farm on an oil structure and
wait until it is drilled. That is be-

average person who is anxious to
make his savings earn more than six

to GO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
