farm Value OF
MONTANA CROPS
IS Sl43,52I,OOO
Gain for Is Principal Yields This
Year Is 40 Per Cent-Wheat
In the Lead

Total farm value of Is principal
Montana crops this year, based upon
December l farm prices, is $143, ,521,-
600, or an increase of about 40 per
cent compared with the December l
value of the 1926 production of these
crops, according to the annual report
of Jay G. Diamond, agricultural
statistician for the state and federal
departments of agriculture. Value of
the 18 crops in 1926 was $102, $4,000.
A few minor and truck crops are not
included in the estimate.
The increased value in 1927 over
last year came about through the
greatly increased production of the
more important grain and hay crops
which has more than offset somewhat
lower farm prices for most crops on
December 1 compared with a year
ago.
| All wheat shows the largest. gain
being worth $76,623,OOO compared
with $5O,123,OOO for the 1926 crop
The 1927 crop was nearly 25 millior
bushels larger than that of 1926 al
though farm prices on December
averaged about six cents less than
year ago. The next largest increase
in value came in the hay crop which
was the largest ever put up in Mon
tana and worth about five and hal
million dollars more than the 1922
crop in spite of the fact that the De
cember 1 farm price for both tam
and wild hay averaged about S2.2
per ton less than a year ago. Tota
value of the 1927 hay crop was $50,
192, 900.
In the list of crops whose 1872
values are one million and two mil
lion dollars higher than in 1926 ar
corn, oats, barley and beans. Tn
flax crop, an important crop i
northeastern and eastern Montan;
was worth $4,266,000 in 1927 CON
pared with 81 1884, 900 for the rels
lively short crop of 1926. TIL
, rye crop value in 1927 was $1,76f 90
compared with $963,OOO for the 1872
crop.
Crops which show decreased value
compared with 1926, due principal
to lower production, include seed an
canning peas, apples, cherries, alta
"a seed and clover seed. Combine
value of these crops in 1927 was 81

SAYS CITY MANAGER BROWN
WINTER wheat
ACREAGE GAINS
Over 100000 Acres SOwn This
Fall, An Increase of % Per
Cent-COnditiOns Good

The acreage seeded to winter wheat
by Montana farmers, in the fall of
1927 is estimated at 100000 acres, an
increase of % per cent over the re-
vised estimate of last years planting,
which was 10000 acres, according
to the United States division of crop
estimates. Acreage devoted to win
ter rye is estimated at 161 900 acres.
an increase of about z per cent over
last years estimate. Am abundance
of summer fallow land this fall and
favorable planting and growing con-
ditiOns are in large measure respOn-
sible for the. increase in acreage de-
voted to fall sown grains in the state.
Condition of both winter wheat and
rye is very good, the December l es-
innate of winter wheat condition be-
ing 80 per scent of a normal and fOI
rye SO per cent of a normal. This
condition is probably due to some
slight sectional damage to the young
plants in November being frozen sud
denly while they were making activ,
growth and to some damage in a few
districts from grasshOppers.

that he is being forced out of office
because he refuses to submit to the
dictatiOn of the city commissioners
elect, c. w. Sweet and w. N. Purdy,
in the matter of appointments, Fred
M. Brown, city manager, Tuesday
evening issued a statement to the
press that shattered the harmonious
calm surrounding the city hall for
the last several years and started
controversy that has since been the
leading topic of conversation in
BOzeman.
In an accompanying statement b.
G. B. Hill, hOldOver commissioner
and mayor-elect, strongly supported
Mr.. Browns contentious and asserted
he would have nothing whatever to do
with the purpOrted plans of Messrs.
Purdy and Sweet to discharge Mr..
Brown and virtually every other city
lemplOye and replace them with ap-
pOintees of their own selection. 1t
is said that Sam A. Mendenhall, who
served two years as city manager

MONTANA SETS
RECORD FOR The

This indicates that the combined

tana was 57.2 per cent above that Oh
the average for the last 10 years.
The composite for the United States
was 1925.
Montana led the other states of the
union by a large margin, the publicity
division points out. Nebraska ranked
second with a composite of 1851,
North Dakota was third with 123.2
per cent, and Idaho was fourth with
1907 per cent. Of the AZ states In
the nation, the combined yields pei

Unvarying good growing conditions

the state are responsible for Mon

unusual for all sections OF Montana
to produce good crops in the same

Sugar Beets to be GrotUn
In Manhattan Area in,1928

While the full quota of 500 acres
has not been entirely signed up,
enough acreage has been obtained to
make the growing of sugar beets in
the Manhattan district certainty for
1928, says the Rocky Mountain Amer
ican.
Mr.. Sullivan, field manager for the
Amalgamated Sugar company, is ar
ranging to move his family and house
hold furnitgre from Whitehall to Man
haitian, where he will make his per-
manent residence. Several more con-
tracts for growing beets may be
signed up, but Mr.. Sullivan's time will
now be fully occupied in arranging
for extra laborers and their proper
housing during the beet working sea-
son, obtaining seed, machinery, and
many other things.
The coming experiment of raising
sugar beets on a commercial scale IN
the Manhattan area is arousing con-
siderable interest in the valley. 1t is
understood that the beets will be ship
ped to Missoula, where a factory will
be erected by the Amalgamated next
spring.

SHOT in ANKLE
At HOOP GAME
u. S. Commissioner Davenport
Victim of An Unusual Acct
dent-Injury Not Serious

Victim of most unusual accident,
George G. Davenport, United States
commissioner, is nursing an ugly
looking wound on his left ankle caus-
ed by the discharge of a timekeepers'
pistol at the Bobcat-Vandal basket
ball game Saturday evening. Outside
the possibility Of infection develop
ing, the injury is not considered a
serious one.
The accident occurred in a most Pc
culiar manner. Mr.. Davenport, who
is an ardent BObcat fan, was sitting
directly behind the timekeeper. When
the game ended that official, instead
of firing his pistol in the air, pOked
it back of him between the chairs and
pulled the trigger. The weapon was
loaded with blank cartridges, but so
near to Mr.. DavenpOrt's ankle was
the muzzle that the wadding cut the
flesh like a bullet and the blast Of
powder set his sock on fire. The en-
tire wound was blackened by un-
burned powder grains.
First aid was Immediately applied,
and later Mr.. Davenport placed him
self under care of a physician. The
wound, while not very painful, has
caused Mr.. Davenport no little incOn-
venience.
