In comprising flax returns with the
returns from wheat Mr.. Mckee shows
that in six of the important flax
counties of the state-Sheridan, Dan
iels, Valley, McCOne, Richland, Daw-
sOn-during the past four years flax
has given an average per acre re-
turn of SASS while wheat in these
same counties has averaged SASS
per T
Mr.. Mckee points out also that
the flax acreage in Montana has been
decreasing in recent years. The av-
erage for the five year period ending
1920 was 446,4OO acres, for the five
year period ending 1925 the average
was $4,000 acres. The lowest flax
average was recorded in 1922 when
but $4,000 acres were sOwn. Since
1922 there has been an increase
reaching 271,O 900 acres last year.
The yield per acre was lowest last
year than at any time in the last five
years. Per acre production during
the five year period has ranged from
an average of 81 bushels in 1924 to
AS bushels in 1925. The average
production for the five years was g.
bushels. During the last five years
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-06-04

the per acre return from flax has
ranged from 81 in 1921, at a time
when both yields and price were low
to ST9.22 when both yields and price
were at their highest point. In 1928,
1924 and 1925 flax average return
of 1854 per acre.
Contrary to a generally prevalent
notion, flax may be planted on old
land with good results, providing
weeds are kept down. During the
land settlement period in the state
flax was used for planting on newly
broken land, being one of the best
crops under such conditions. The
large flax acreage of 1917 and 1918
was due largely to this fact. The de-
crease in acreage, no doubt, is due
to the fact that there has been com
paratively little new land brought in
to cultivation in recent years. How
ever, Mr.. Mckee points out that there
is no reason why flax should not be
planted on old land. The weed prob
lem can be handled by delaying seed
ing until weeds have had a chance
to come up and the ground gone

CROP PROSPECTS

THE condition of crops, ranges
and livestock is better this
spring than at any time in the
history of the state, says J. G. Tay-
Tor, director Of the Montana Extern
sion Service after a visit to central,
northern and northeastern counties.
The early opening of spring, excel
lent conditions for farm work during
April and the timely rains of May
have given farmers an exceptionally
favorable start in their crop year.. A
large amount of land is under cult
walton this year and in most cases
seed beds have been carefully pre-
pared.
Mr.. Taylor estimates that in the
area visited by him there will be an
increase Of approximately 10 per
cent in. spring wheat acreage over
last year. The seeding OF spring
wheat was practically completed by
the 18th of May and with a large
amount Of land prepared there was
an abundance Of time and OppOrtun-
ity for planting later crops such as
corn, flax, potatoes, etc.
The corn acreage is expected to
be about the same as last year, al
though a number of northern Mon.
tana counties expect some increase
Corn planting was well underway in
most parts Of the state during the
second week in May, which is from
ten days to two weeks earlier thar

Of the leading cash crops in many
parts of the state, says Clyde Mckee,
agrOnOmist at Montana State College.
In a bulletin, 'FlaX in Montana" is
sued by the Montana Experiment
Station in time to assist farmers with
this years flax planting, MI. Mckee
discusses the points in successful
flax culture, soil and tillage require
ments and the various factors which
determine flax consumption in the
United States.
Last year the United States pro-
duced approximately %, 0O0,O 900
bushels of flax seed and consumed
about 40, 900 bushels. This year
the early intentions to plant report
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, indicates that
the flax acreage will be about the
same as last year and if normal con
ditiOns prevail the crop should be
from 100000 0 to 28,0OO,O 900 bush
els, still at least $4,000, 900 bushels
less than last years demand.
There is a possibility that cOnsump-
ton will fall off somewhat, but eco
nOmists are not expecting such a
drastic slump as will wipe out the
margin of safety.
The intention to plant report for
Montana indicate that there will be
a II per cent reduction in flax acre
age this year, but Mr.. Mckee points
out that farmers may we'll plant the
same amount of flax this year as
