ton will fall moderately below the five
year average, as win also the hay crop,
while most Of the minor crops will exceed
this average.
Probably in no recent year has there
been such variation between various Sec
tiOnS Of the state, or such a range in
yields. In general, the east central, and
some extreme northern and northwestern
sections have averaged about half Of an
average crop, with most of the western
third and extreme northeastern sections
averaging about 50 per cent of an average
crop. Some sections of Central, West Cen
trail and Northeastern Montana range from
80 per cent to we'll above an average yield.
In spite Of the many variations, this
season will probably return a fair increase
in income to Montana farmers, due largely
to the increased production of wheat, the
major cash crop, compared with 1925. Such
a statement has in mind the return for
the state as a whole and recognizes the
fact that some areas will not equal re-
turns secured last year.
, Even in such sections, however, special
crops, poultry, dairy products and cattle
and sheep will help in large measure to off
set reduced returns from the main cash
crop.

lasted until the 22nd and 23rd. To Central
and Western Montana these rains came in
time to largely save the crop situation, but
in the eastern third Of the state, especially
that area south of the Missouri river, the
rains were too late to prevent wide spread
damage.
July marked the ninth consecutive month
Of mean temperature above normal, while
precipitation fell markedly below normal.
DrOuth damage in East Central Montana
and extreme Northwestern Montana became
apparent as being severe, although in
extreme Northeastern Montana, the June
rains and local July showers held up the
grain prospect to about an average, while
in Central and South Central and West
Central Montana, conditions developed
some wheat more favorable than average.
August averaged slightly below normal
in mean temperature and was above normal
in precipitation. Late grain crops i'm
proved with this weather except in areas
where previous injury was permanent.
Corn, where not stunted by drOuth, con-
ditiOned well during the first half of the
month, especially in the western half of
the state.
September fell well below normal in
temperature and averaged we'll above in
precipitation. Due to the cool weather,
corn developed poorly and late grain crops
were at a %standstill, with harvest and
thrashiBg delayed generally by the show
ers. On Sept. d and %, an unusually cold
spell interviewed which frOze a large per
centage Of late corn and seriously injured
the apple crop and potato crop, together
with susceptible garden truck. Damage
to grain crops, except for such losses as
were sustained by exposure Of grain to the
wet weather, was light. September mOis
ture on the other hand was of genera
benefit to winter-sOwn grains, to range!
and for water supplies.
The weather of the 1926 crop season
was unusual in many respects and in man!
instances broke all state records for tenn
perature and rainfall variations.
In spite of the many unfavorable aspect
of the season, the state has produced
wheat crop we'll above that of last year
while production of oats, barley and ry

gage indebtedness these 10,772 farms, on
the basis of average farm Indebtedness
would represent a reduction of SIS, 522,46S
in the mortgage debt by the expedient Of
turning over the farms by the owners to
creditors.
The conclusion that the decrease in farms
operating in 1925 compared with 1920 was
brought about by the farmers losing their
farms, is further supported by the fact that
the number of farms operated by owners
decreased from 50,271 in 1920 to $3.50 in
1925, a loss Of 1892. 1t is true that some
of the farmers who lost their farms remain
ed as Tenant farmers but this number
probably did not exceed $500 as represent
ed by the increase Of tenant farmers from
6,507 in 1920 to 10,027 in 1925. The number
Of owners who are not accounted for on
this basis is 1922, closely approaching the
number of 1922 farms which ceased Oper-
ating during the deflatiOn period.
The loss of 1912 farm families, forced
off their farms, appears in the state farm
population as enumerated in 1925. The av-
erage farm family in Montana, as shown
by the federal census of 1920, consisted of
3.91 persons, and in 1925 Of $50 persons.
The 1922 families, on basis Of 39 persons
per family, would show a farm population
Of 42,010. The federal census Of farm popu-
latiOn shows 225, 667 for 1920 and 1881
for 1925, a loss of AZ, 1882.
Effect on Valuations
The effect of the deflatiOn period on val
uatiOns was equally severe. The total val
ne of Montana farms in 1920 was $776,7 67,-
500 and in 1925 was 1858, S45,6 43; the aver
age value per farm in 1920 was S13,46Ss and
$9,666 in 1925, and the average value pei
acre $22.15 in 1920 and $13.65 in 1925. It Is
not true that this shrinkage was the squeeZ'
ing out of wartime initiation, for, going
back to 1910, the federal census of agricul-
ture computed the average value per farm
at $13,369 and the average value per acre
at $25.6S.
All phases Of MOntana's agriculture fell
the heavy hand. Prices for many agri
cultural products were carried to prevail
levels, while prices of everything the Mon
tana farmer brought remained well above
pre-war levels.
Livestock

len from 9b cents to 6 cents and the pric
of lambs from 10.7 cents to z cents. Cattle
men became discouraged. Liquidation pres
sure forced by creditors increased. Market

This magnificent expansion, recorded in
less than the everage span of life, has been
a steady march of progress and develop
ment except for a single period Of setback
when three disastrous seasons OF drought
1917-191S-19 were followed by post
war deflatiOn.
In the past two years the business of
farming has, in a large measure recovered.
In order that this tremendously favorable
change may by contrast be better under
stood, I am briefly outlining the condition
and causes of the decline of this indstry
prior to January 1, 1926.
Prior to 1925
The postwar deflatiOn of agriculture in
Montana was aggravated by the dry seas
ons of 1917, 1918 and 1919, which increased
Indebtedness, Over-strained credit facili-
ties, depleted reserves and left the states
basic industry in a very weakened cOndi-
ton to meet and cope with the problems
of that period.
1t would be unfair to the farmers of Mon
tana to minimize the distress that followed
1920 to 1925. The story of what happened
is written in the statistics Of bank failures

Expects Bigger Beet Acreage
G. H. Barnes, Great Northern railway
development agent for northern Montana,
visited Fort Benton recently to look after
the beet acreage for 1927. He says the pros
poets for a large acreage next year is NEST
promising in the Milk river valley, several
ranchers who have heretofore not raised
beets agreeing to put in beets next spring.
A third more acreage is predicted by Mr..
Barnes for the coming year. Part Of this
increased interest in the raising of beets
is due to the premium of 80 cents a ton
paid by the company with the promise
that if the present price of sugar is re-
tanned, 81 additional a ton will be paid as
a bonus by the Utah-IdahO Sugar COM
pany, whose factory at Chinook has pro-
duced over $4,000 bags of sugar this last
season.

ating with a minimum Of disputes. An
agricultural revolution Of great impOP-
lance, affecting the fortunes Of farm
workers, is apparently taking place. Gone,
in the last development Of farm machinery,
are the scythe and the fail and present
indications are that the reaper and thrasheB
must likelywise give way to the harvester
combine. Our farmers are thus enabled to
increase their acreage and reduce their
man power.
Industry
Improvement in industrial conditions for
the past two years are indicated by the
falling off in the number of commercial
failures and by the increased bank de-
pOsits. There were 1855 commercial failures
in the state in 1924. Liabilities were
81, Ola, 033. In 1925 there were 1874 failures
and liabilities were $1,590,S34. This same
prOpOrtiOnate decrease in liabilities and
numbers of commercial failures is con-
tinued for the first nine months Of 1925
and there will probably be by the end
Of the year, about 100 failures with liza
bilities of less than 81, 1000. At the be-
ginning of the present year there we're
1861 merchants in Montana, a reduction
Of about 1000 since 1922. A chart villa
demonstrate that in Montana commercial
failure and commercial prosperity goes
hand in hand with agricultural failure or
success; the percentage of farmers forced
out of business being approximately equal
to the percentage of merchants closed out.
