lion bushels. Practically all harvest
ing is completed in the entire state,
and over half of the threshing. In the
eastern part of the state threshing
operations have been hindered some
what by rains and by lack of ade-
quate threshing machinery. The wheat
this year is heavy in weight, but
tests at the state laboratories Indicate
that the protein content will run low
er than in last year.
Corn: With an indicated yield of
1877 bushels per acre from $4,000
acres will produce a crop estimated at
6,228,000 bushels. This is almost
double the crop of last year, and over
half million bushels greater than
the five year average for the crop.
Late reports indicate some further
frost damage to immature corn.
Barley: Growers are experiencing
good season of yields with a crop over
double that of the five year average.
They will produce close to SIX million
bushels as compared with crop of

REGULAR CROP
SUMMARY FOR
OCTOBER /. 1927

Production estimates for all wheat
in Montana on October l, place the
total yield at 76,923,00O bushels; by
"a million bushels the largest crop
ever harvested in Montana. The
spring wheat crop is estimated at 85,-
100000 bushels, while the winter
wheat crop was placed at 11,239,OOO
bushels. Corn, with an estimated total
yield Of 6,228,00O bushels will exceed
the average crop of the preceding
five years by over half a million
bushels. Oats, barley, flax, potatoes
and beans all show increases over the
five year average, while apples alone
will show decrease in production
over both the last year crop and the
five year average.
Wheat: The crop of spring wheat
will exceed the 1926 crop by 80 mil
The Carbon County news. [volume] (Red Lodge, Mont.) 1924-1931, 1927-10-27

less than four million bushels last
year and five year average little
over two million bushels.
Oats: VIII show a four million
bushel increase over the five yeal
average, with crop estimate at over
81 million bushels. This crop also
shows a gain of five million bushels
over the 1926 crop.
Flax: With an average crop of 10.l
bushels per acre of flax and an aver
age of 214,000 there will be produced
close to two million bushels, almost
a million bushels more than the five
year average. The crop last year was
$4,000 bushels.
Potatoes: Although commercial
growers indicate generally that the
commercial potato crop this year is
not as good as last year, dealers es-
Inmates of carlot shipments indicate
that the shipments of potatoes will
almost double those of last year. This
is partly explained by the fact that
the 1926 crop sustained heavy frost
damage which greatly reduced ship
ments last year. Quality of the 1927
crop is reported running high, ten
deney also to increase the percentage
of marketable stock. Farm potatoes
and non-commereial acreages yielded
better than average this year especial
ly in the eastern third of the state
where drought greatly reduced the
1926 crop.
Beans: A crop of $4,000 bushels
of beans is expected this year against
100000 bushels last year, and a five
year average of $4,000 bushels.
Sugar Beets: Reports indicate a
production of $4,000 tons of beets
for the 1927 season, decrease from
the early season estimates of 10000
tons. Reports from the factory opera
tors show expectations of uniformly
high quality beets.
Apples: Due to cold weather, poor
pollonization in the early spring and
heavy June drop, the apple crop
this year is falling below the aver
age. The crop is estimated to be 1884,
600 bushels as compared with $4,000
IN 1926 and the 5 year average of
$4,000 bushels.
Tame Hay: Tame hay is indicated
to average two tons per acre with a
total estimated production of 2,47S,-
900 tons. Of this amount, alfalfa con-
tributes 100000 tons at an average
Of 2.5 tons per acre.

PRICES CUT BY
ATWATER KENT

Announcement of a 20 per cent
average reduction in the price of At
water Kent radio products was made
in telegram received by w. G. Ball,
of the Ball Furniture company, which
distributes Atwater Kent products
in this territory.
The telegram tells the story of the
formal announcement by A. Atwater
Kent of this reduction at the national
meeting of Atwater Kent distribu-
tors held at Philadelphia.
1t says: ''To all Atwater Kent dis
tributors an important announcement
concerning Atwater Kent sharing
profits with the public was made at
the national meeting of Atwater Kent
distributors at the opening of the
1928 radio sales season. A. Atwater
Kent announced that because of ire
menduous production facilities which
he had put into operation the public
would receive benefit of a 20 per cent
average reduction on all his radio
products beginning Monday.
"'It is only right said Mr.. Kent,
that purchasers should share in the
results of up-to-date manufacturing
methods in everything. This is ten
dency of the times. In our 15-acre'
factory our production engineers and
experts since the inception Of radio
have been working out manufacture
ing economies which smaller factories
perhaps could not accomplish. These
advancements have not only enabled
as to maintain but to improve the
standard Of our products. The prices
are in keeping with the long establish
ed Atwater Kent policy of sharing
with the public the results of eco
Monies as fast as they are put into
practical operation"
Something Of the meaning of Mr..
Kent's reference to expansion of the
Atwater Kent factory may be had
from the fact that in Is years the At
water Kent factory has grown from
single room in an obscure street in
Philadelphia to a 15h acre plant in
the same city.
On May %, 1902, a modest, ener-
getic young man from Vermont NOV
ed into a single room in an obscure
street in Philadelphia and hung out
sign advising the world that he had
opened a factory for the production
of indoor telephones.
After % years the same man eele-
brated the silver anniversary Of that
day in a 1914 acre plant in Philadel-
phia where, in the year ending May /,
last, he manufactured 100000 radio
receiving sets.
Briefly that is the story of Mr..
Kent, national broadcaster of grand
opera stars and maker of the radio
set bearing his name. Five thousand
employees instead of one office boy
helped to celebrate the anniversary
| and 200 distributors and statesmen
from all over the country congratulate
ed him on his first quarter of GEN.
fury success and wished him greater
| success in the Observation-Disclosures.
