The incidents which have caused
the trouble, according to the gov

and were caused by extreme zeal of

the part of responsible Fascists.
The incident at Mantuan the gov

Dean Hamilton
Discusses Wheat

It Is mere than 81 even chance that
Montana and other hard spring wheat
states of the northwest WIN produce q
surplus Of spring wheat during the
coming season. and lf this happens the
premium now being paid for high pro-
tein wheat win disappear. says Dean

his conclusions on the fact that spring
wheat acreage was Increased . per
cent fast spring and II normal per
acre yield had been obtained the crop
would have exceeded the domestic de-
mand- A low yield. however, kept the
crop within domestic limits and as a
result the high protein wheat of last
years crop is bringing a premium
The economists points out that Canada
produces about three times as much
spring wheat Of high protein content
as the United States and this large
supply is prevented from flooding
United States markets By the tariff
For the past few years millers have to
import small quantity Of Canadian
grain TO meet their requirements, and
this has been responsible for the prem
ium paid for domestic grain. The av-
erage imports OF this kind Of grain for
home use has been about 100000
bushels since the establishment OF the
tariff. and this 100000
bushels, according to Dean. Hamilton.

are favorable for at least as great

The commercial potato grower in
Montana and the rest of the United
States is faced with rather depressing
possibilities. A short crop and ex-
ceptIonally high prices characterized
the 1925 season. The acreage In the
United States was slightly less than
the year before but the chief cause of
the short supply was the drop in av-
erage yield from 127 bushels per acre
In 1924 10 1923 bushels per acre in
1925. A situation Of this kind, In
times past, has always stimulated po-
tato production and II this happens
again this year and an average crop Is
harvested, potato prices may drop be-
low the profitable point next fail.
Economists point out that moderate
Increase IN acreage Of around 10 per
cent viii give the grower an even
chance Of making money on his crop,
any Increase over 10 per rent will re-
duce that possibility. The general ad-
vice TO the potato grower IS to put
strong curb on the urge to increase po-
tato paintings.

The Agricultural Outlook for Mon
tana" for 1926 just Issued by the Mon
tana State College, is bright in some
spots and rather doubtful in others.
The live stock enterprises appear to be
entering the season with more hopeful
prospects than the major cash crops
of the state. A general conservatism
In crop acreage and live stock expan-
sion appears to be the most advisable
path TO follow for the coming year.
General business conditions through
out the country, a factor which de-
teFmIHes- to a large extent the demand
for agricultural products, are favor
able at the opening of the crop season
and economists expect that this con-
dition viii continue at least for the
first half Of 1926. A possible slowing
up in certain basic industries after the
first OF July may affect the price OF
certain crops. particularly flax. A

Among the major live stock enter
prises Of the state, the swine Industry
appears to be In the most favorable
position for profitable returns during

is at a very low ebb. Breeding last
fall dropped off from - to IA per cent
In the more important hog producing
sections Of the country and the far
rowing indications for spring, while
showing some increase over 1925, are
not expected to materially affect pork
prices. From strictly Montana stand
point the western coast markets still
offer room for expansion. Last year
approximately $4,000 hogs were ship
ped to Spokane and Portland markets
from North and South Dakota and
Nebraska and like number came
down from Alberta. At the same time
Montana shipped approximately 2S0,-
600 head to market last year and 90

who are closely following the hog sit

The prospects for sheep during the
coming season are FAVORABLE but not
quite as good as in the spring Of 1925.
according the the Montana Agricul-
turai Outlook. Wool and lamb prices
have shown tendency to decline in
recent months but the movement has
been slow and Is not expected to
change greatly during the present year.
Wool production OF the country Is stili
considerably below domestic consump-
ton and, from this standpoint, the in
dustry appears to be in an excellent
position Lamb and mutton supplies
seem to be the depressing factor.
About the same amount Of these pro-
ducts reached the market In 1925 as
the year before but high percentage
OF breeding stock has been retained on
the farms and ranches, indicating a
considerable Increase IA breeding pos
slbilitles. It is not thought, however.
that the supply and demand equation
is enough ont OF balance to cause dras-
tic price changes. Economists are OF
the opinion that there may be slow
recession of prices but that sheep pro-
duction Will remain on a profitable
basis for the year.
