Early Crop Reports Indicate
Favorable Harvest Inn State

a little lower next fall than it was
a year ago since the ~fOrcasted crop
of 543,3OO,O 900 bushels is about 49,
100000 bushels more than last years
crop. Last year the basic wheat
crop was comparatively high because
the total supply was little more than
the domestic demand and there was
little wheat for export. On the basis
of present estimates it appears that
there will be approximately 10000
600 bushels for export next fall
which is expected to bring the basic
domestic price level very close to
the world price level. World crop

that there is little chance Of an ad-

Department sees can exceedingly

''The hog market last month reached
the highest point in six years. The
price advance was the greatest dur

certain wartime initiation years.

hogs, less than last year, hogs are

now for the hog producers to bear

committee consists of Chester Sweet,

tives of the Montana State college
to go over the work now under way

At a grain dealers meeting in Hell

parts of the state and unfav-
orable planting conditions held down
the acreage Of flax in certain areas,
the seasons crop prospects in Mon
tana still appear to be more favor
able than general prospects in the
United States as a whole, according
to the reports Of MOntana's county
agricultural agents.
In interpreting early season crop
reports for the country, the Montana
ExtentiOn Service points out that the
spring wheat situation seems to be
in MOntana's favor. No estimates OF
prospective spring wheat yields are
yet available but the condition of
the crop on June 1 was reported as
1875, which is eight per cent below
the ten year average for this date.
This means that it is quite imprOba-
BILE that there will be an Over-prO-
duction of hard spring wheat this
e a condition which was threat
ened earlier in the season by in
crease paintings. What the situation
will be next fall with regard to high
protein wheat is still prOblematical,
since the demand for high protein
spring wheat is determined to a con-
siderable extent by the protein con-
tent Of the hard winter wheat crop.
If this crop is of about the same quail
ity as other years it seems likely
that there will be a strong demand
for the available high protein spring
wheat.
On the other hand the basic wheat
price in the country threatens to be

BUTTER PRODUCTION
FOR 1926 WILL EX-
CEED 1925 OUTPUT

Helena, Nov. Total production
of butter in Montana for 1926 will ex-
eeed 100000 pounds, an increase of
ten per cent over the preceding year,
according to the annual report of G..
A. Norris, chief of the dairy division
of the department of agriculture, la
Dor and industry Butter production
for the first nine months of the pres
ent year was 12,7S2,771 pounds, or
1,197,32s pounds more than the same
period last year when production was
1855, 443.
Assuming that the same rate of
increase continues during October,
November and December, it is safe to
say that we will produce more than
10000, 900 pounds this year., Mr.. Nor
ris says. "This same expansion con-
| tinues in all branches of the dairy
industry. The production of cheese
will increase about II per cent as
compared to last year, while ice cream
will show almost Is percent greater
production. The total production of
cheese for 1925 was 1,404,558 pounds
For the first nine months this year
production was 1,470,336 pounds, more
than for all of last year. Ice cream
production for nine months this year
was 1882 gallons, compared to the
full production in 1925 of only 761,.
636 gallons"
! With proper encouragement this in
crease will continue, Mr.. Norris
thinks, and he points out in his report
that important changes are taking
place in the dairy industry, not alone
in Montana, but all over the world
"The Importance of encouraging
dairying as a basis for diversificatior
of our agricultural activities and as 6
practical means of livelihood to Offer
new settlers coming to the state can.
not be overestimated' he says. "Wher
the influx of settlers came to Montana
in the years of 1908 to 1920 and took
up the work of converting virgin sol
into titled fields, the question Of 6
cash crop seriously confronted them
Those who survived the hardships Of
pioneering owe their success in g
large degree to the dairy cow, as dairy
products were their only cash crop
Those sections of the state where high
production cows were brought from
other states and used as foundation
cows for their herds have advanced tt
. leadership in dairy production. Ii
one of these sections the COW testing
association records indicate that thi
community has an average production
for each cow in the association
amounting to 277 pounds of butterfa
, annually, which record compares mos
, favorably with records made in tn
leading dairy states of the union"
