Glue loses strength with frequent
heatings. therefore heat only az

use.
Sour Cream.
When sour cream is used in max
ing mullins or griddle cakes, you can
omit any other shortening.

will fail to mature this fall, unless
frosts are unusually late.
Oats: The condition of oats on
August 1 was rs, a decline of IL
points during July. A crop of 23,-
256,000 bushels is morecast, being
one of the largest crops in the states
history. The stocks of oats on farms
are much heavier than usual, as
farmers are holding a good reserve
of feed.
Barley: Barley with a rating of
II, promises a crop of 2,587,000
bushels. The percentage of Montana
barley irrigated is larger than for
other small grains, which accounts
for its relatively better condition.
Where waterfall has been short in
non-irrigated localities, barley pros
poets are poor.
Rye: A preliminary estimated av-
erage yield of 10 bushels per acre
of rye indicates a crop of ~1,794,000
bushels this year, which is much less
than the last two years, due to re-
duced acreage. Most rye is now
grown for feed only.
Flax: A flax crop of ~1,913,000
bushels is indicated by the condition
of "a, OF August 1. AS most of the
flax acreage is in the eastern counties
the prospects for a good yield remain
favorable. Considerable wilt was re-
ported from northeastern counties,
with extent of injury not yet deter
mined.
Project Crop Review
Crop conditions on the Montana
r-oo1o M offon nro5aoko ~, RI h1yor1cf 1
were made public this week by the in
terror department. A summary of
the report follows:
Sun River Project: Crops on the
Fort Shaw division are in promising
condition and reports indicate a
heavy first cutting of alfalfa. Grain
promises a good yield. Corn is not
making good Roadway due to the cool
weather. The irrigated grain crops
on the Greenfield division will return
a good yield. In general the crops
on this latter division viii not be
good, however, owing to the tendency
of the waterusers not to grow crops
adapted to irrigation farming and to
farm too large an area.
milk River Project: The first
cutting of alfalfa has been completed
and the second cutting is under way.
The irrigation of beans. beets, corn
and grain is in full swing.
"Huntley Project: In general,
crops appear better than ever before.
Harvesting Is in full swing and the
threshing has begun.
"Lower Yellowstone Project. All
crops are in excellent condition. The
first cutting of alfalfa is one of the
heaviest ever produced. Corn is
somewhat later than usual owing to
cold weather. Sugar beets are max
ing rapid growth.

MONTANA'S WHEAT
CROP IS PLACED AT
5l,OOO,OOO BUSHELS
ESTIMATE BY THE MONTANA
STATISTICIAN BASED ON
AUGUST REPORT
The Total Amount in Bushels Is Less
Than Production of 1928, But 1t
Exceeds the Crop Average For the
Five Year Period of 1919-1923.

Montana farmers this fall will
market 51,4O6,000 bushels of
wheat if figures given in the Aug.
crop report of George A. A. Scott,
statistician of the Montana crop re-
porting service, proves to be an &C
curate estimate in comparison with
the 52,4S6, 600 bushels marketed in
1923, and 40, 900 bushels rep
resenting the five-year average of
1919-1923.
The preliminary estimate on aver
age yield an acre for winter wheat
in Montana this year is 1913 bushels,
making the estimated production of
winter wheat ~12,409,000 bushels.
Yields are shown in the report as be-
ing good in most of the central coun-
ties, very good in the Yellowstone
drainage area, but lighter in Gallatin
county, in the north central district
and in the western counties.
From a condition of rs per cent of
normal on August 1, a production of
39,002,0 900 bushels of spring wheat is
forecast for the state. Because of
weather conditions, a small decline
was observed in the condition of
spring wheat during July. Spring
wheat was in excellent condition in
the eastern counties on August /, but
less satisfactory west of the noun
tains.
The Scott report indicates that the
estimated small decline in the 1924
wheat production as compared with
1928 will be largely due to adverse
conditions in the western portion of
the state. Generally poor conditions
continued in the west central counties
and some local shortage of irrigation
water in western and southwestern
counties was an adverse factor. Crop
damage from grasshoppers and hail
was local in extent where it has been
experienced, and has been much less
severe than during the last two years.
In the eastern third of the state,
crop prospects are excellent, says the
report, and quite generally good in
other counties east of a line between
Havre and Livingston. West of this
line, crops average somewhat lower.
Concerning the major crops other
than wheat, the report says:
Corn: The condition of corr is
still low, being rated at rs per cent,

July 1 condition. A crop of 12,044,-

cast; larger by far than any ever
harvested in the state. Corn suffered
very little from dry weather, and De-
veloped rapidly in July, but is still
behind its normal degree of develop
ment at this season. Frequent cool
nights and cool periods during July
partially offset the advantages of
warmer periods. 1t is expected that
there will be considerable corn which

Lake Investigators at
Eureka Start Rumor
Alligators i'm Waters
OF That Part of State

Here's a fish story that puts all
others to date into the discard: A.
M. Miaklson, who operates a mill
on Glen lake and not far from Lick
lake, in the Eureka district, re-
Gently brought in the story that
there is an alligator, or possibly
two, in Lick lake.
One of the little Triplet boys, aged
about 12 entered the mill a short
time ago and excitedly told of an en-
counter he had had with a strange,
large fish in the lake, and gave a
graphic description Of an alligator
between two and three feet in size.
1t also is reported that others in the
n~eighborhood have seer strange
animals in the waters there.
Some of the men at the mill re-
membered that several years ago
when Lee Setser closed down his sa-
loon business he released two small
a~lligators he had, in Lick lake. Put
ting two and two : together, they
have decided that what the boy really
saw instead of a big fish, was one of
Scissors alligators.
Many persons have a dim recollec-
ton Of hearing that Setser did turn
the alligators loose into Lick lake.
Tobacco valley has had many Gre
ditable boosts for her climate, but
if it can be established that alliga-
tors have thrived here for several
years, it will beat anything yet adj
vanced and we may expect that the
idle rich from the east will flock
to the Mills resort on Glen lake this
winter instead of travelling south to
Florida and other regions of touted
sunshine and balmy weather.

Montana, Idaho , Washington and
Oregon.

q great national project-develop-
ment of the national parks. The
present experimental trail con-

He obtained authority for the trail
building from Stephen T. Mather,

wool market in the most listless man

hopeful that the near future will

number of dealers are accepting
prices from, the foreign markets,
which are 10 to Is cents pound,

charges, than can be obtained for

very strong, even with inferior offer
ings.
THE goods market is still in the
