Wheat In Lead

Wheat In Lead
Wheat leads in crop values for 1925
with a total Of S48,243,000 for both
winter and spring wheat. All hay
comes next with a value Of S25,614,-
600; then in order, cats with $685.
0GO; corn with S6,255,OO0; potatoes
with $6,O48,OOO; flaxseed with 1884,
900; barley with S2,359,OOO; beans
with 81 1,525,000; rye with $1,O36,OOO
and apples with $14O,OOO. The prin-
cipal decline compared with 1924 came
in value Of the wheat crop, which was
worth about $16,OO0,OOO dollars more
that year, but due to a better price
per bushel in 1925 the crop was worth
more than the larger production both
in 1928 and the larger average pro
duction during the period 192O-1924
The largest proportional increase
came in the potato crop which was
worth $6,048,000 compared with So
$4,000 in the preceding year, due
principally to the high potato prices
for the present crop. Among crops tC
show increased values compared with
1924 include wheat, hay, corn, oats
flax, and apples. All crops except
wiuter wheat, oats and apples exceed
in value the crops Of 1928. The small
value of the 1925 apple crop compared
both with 1924 and preceding year:
was due to the damage sustained II
the principal apple districts in west
ern Montana from the drought o.
1924 and the December freeze las
winter.
Values Per Acre.
In acre value, the potato crop lead
all other crops with $172.8O per acr
compared with $76.56 in 1924 and tn
five year average of $81.19. Suga
beets in 1925 are second with an acr
value of $780,; beans third with a
acre value of $38.12 and winter whea
fourth with an acre value Of S19.2S
Other crops gave values per acre
follows: corn, $15.67; barley, $15.1z
spring wheat, $14.7O; all hay, $13.5s
oats, $11.92; flax, $3.50; and ry'

Mr.. Kenyon. outlined the purposes
Of the Chamber of Commerce and
stressed its value to the community
He pointed out that it was composed
of individuals from all walks of life
associated to work as a unit for the
best interests-social, civic, and fin.
ancial-Of Bozeman and vicinity. "It
is a vehicle" he declared, by means
Of which men of vision, who unset
fishly devote a certain portion of theil
time, energy and experience to th'
public good, can accomplish wonder
full things, and in doing so necessaril!
benefit, perhaps indirectly, themselve:
as we'll as their neighbOrs."
The Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
I Kenyon continued, "should be the re
cognized body where all matters tina
; have to do with civic welfare ar
r discussed and acted upon" He adde's
that "an unselfishness of purpos
must be the controlling force in sucl
a program" The Rotary, Kiwanic
and other like organizations are galu

more serious, substantial and praC
tical constructive work that must b
done by the Chamber Of Commerce.

NEW YORK, May 17.-lf at any

Babe Ruth gets another four base
blow, he will have forged ahead of
the pace he set in 1921 when, it
will be recalled, the Yankees big
boy made 80 homers before the sea
son had run its course.
Five years ago the Babe got his
18th circuit clout in the Yankees
33rd game. This year he has his
l2th in 2S games. Thus, without
recourse to higher mathematics, II
is evident that he stands i'll Il fan
way TO outdo his former mark.
The return of Babe Ruth is com

greatest foot race in the history of
Southern California; today.
The story of Charlie Paddock 3
race against comparative novice,
Charlie Borah, here Saturday, has
been told many times over the week
end.
The fact that Paddock set Il new
world record of 9.5 seconds for the
100 yard da5k was the climax of the
story. Paddock $ record will un-
doubtedlv be recognized as official
because the wind was not at his
back.
Borah, a freshman at the Enivcr-
sity Of California, started out i'll the
lead. He maintained this lead until
he was less than 10 yards from the
finish, when Paddock uncorked
som" dazzling speed and lcaped to
the tape. the winner by less than six
inches. Paddock has declared that
if Borah had jumped at the finish
instead of running through the tape
he would hold the world record for
the century today.
The world : fastest human,

soon. The Breakfast club OF Holly
