Trade Reviews Say

The number of failures in the
United States again shows a re-
duction this week from the total
for a year ago. S54 defaults com
pairing with 373 reported to r. G.
Dun & Co., in the earlier period.
Fewer failures occurred in the East
and in the South this week than
during the corresponding week Of
1924 while in the West the mum,
Der is the same for both years.
On the Pacific coast a slight in
crease appears. The number of de-
faults with liabilities of more than
$4,000 in each case Is also smaller
phis week, such failures totaling 1856.

ranks as MoDtana.s leading industry.
The total value OF the 1924 farm pro.
ducts, which Is more than sI45 900, 600,
dwarfs by comparison these other
great sources OF wealth. This basic
industry Is again ON a sound. profit

Many factors have contributed to
make the year particularly happy
one for Montanas agriculture. First
and foremost has been the persistent,
Intelligent effort on the part of The
farmers themselves. This has been
ably seconded by the valuable research
work Of the State College OF Agricul-
ture. which has endeavored to InstIlL
scientific principles instead OF hap
hazard methods The results OF this
application Is strIkingIy shown By com
pairing reports for the past five years
While this states wheat acreage has
been steadily decreasing, until thisl

Favorable growing conditions have
prevailed during the year throughout
the greater part Of the state. plenty
Of moisture in the early spring and |
summer assuring bountiful erop.
Market conditions, too, have been for
tunate as, on account OF poor crops IN /
other wheat producing countries, the
