THE figures tell the story-sales of nearly
 l S5,OOOO0O in 90 days! That's the astounding record of the new silent NOKOL. You may call it luck. You may say it's good advertising" But your better judg mene will tell you that back of such an over whelming success there must be outstanding merit. There must be exceptional value There must be something that no other oil burner can give. There is.
 First of all, there is NOKOL's nine year record of efficiency. NOKOL was the first success ful oil burner and not once during those nine years has it relinquished its hold on first place. There are more NOKOLS in use today than any other automatic oil burner and no product has ever had more loyal enthusiastic following.
 Another factor in NOKOL's success is econ omy. Figures show that nearly 608 of our sales were made in cottages, bungalows and smaller homes-to men and women of moderate means, who naturally wanted the most economical oil heat they could get; people who couldn't afford to experiment with burners of improved merit

MONTAMA'S CORN CROP
FOR 1927 WILL EXCEED
THAT OF LAST SEASON

Montana barley ranks high, the 10-year
average being for Montana 48.6 pounds
and 46.1 for the United States.
The forecast indicates the second larg-
est rye crop in the states history and
the largest yield per acre since 1916. To-
tai production is indicated at 2,133,00O
bushels with an average acre yield Of 10
bushels from $4,000 acres. The present
forecast is almost twice last years pro-
duction given at 1,284,000 but shows q
very slight loss when compared to last
months forecast Of 2,145, 900 bushels.
Tame Hay
Montana's hay crop ranks second to
wheat in Importance on the basis Of value
and the forecast indicates a tame hay
production Of $685. 900 tons larger than.
last year. Condition Of the crop is placed
at 90 per cent Of normal with a fore
cast production Of 1885, 900 tons. Pro-
duction Of tame hay last year was esti-
mated at 100000 tons. Yield this year
is forecast at 2.04 tons per acre from
1928, 900 acres.
Fla production is forecast at 1857, 600
bushels. Condition is rated 80 per cent
Of a normal. If the forecast is verified
upon final revision Montana will have
the largest crop for three years.

farmers depend almost entirely upon
wheat for their cash income.
Montana's wheat crop forecast this
year is almost 10000, 900 bushels larger
han the best previous crop in the history
of the state, which was Sc ,714,0 900 bushels
in 1922 and will this year represent
about 8 per cent Of the total wheat crop
Of the nation, indicated ut 851, las 900
bushels. The report indicates a yield in
Montana Of 19.3 bushels to the acre on
$50, 600 acres Of winter wheat and a har-
vest Of IL, 233,0 900 bushels. The yield an
acre Of spring wheat is placed at 1873
bushels. Total yield Of spring wheat is
indicated at 1853 900 bushels, from g.
252, 900 acres for harvest.
The report finds a satisfactory condi-
ton in the important wheat producing
sections and yields will be above average
over widespread areas. The forecast would
give the state a harvest of about 49,
000, 900 bushels more than the fve-yeal
average production Of 47,732,000 bushels
The average yield an acre is rated the
highest since 1918, when 20.1 bushels ar
acre was harvested. During that year
however, the acreage was only 100000
a little more than a third Of the 1872
acreage, and the percentage Of whea'
grown upon irrigated land was mucl
larger than at present.
Total acreage this year, placed at 8,
$4,000, is also the largest n the htstor,
Of the state. Last year, 3,595,OOO acre
of all wheat were harvested in Montana

Of suitable crop combinations Tor trrl-

lines of work with wheat being carried
on by the Montana experiment station
at BOzeman.
In a recently prepared summary Of the
tests and investigations under way this
year by Clyde Mckee, agronomist for the
Montana experiment station the tolloW-
ing wheat experiments are mentioned:
Irrigated Rotations. If yields are to be
maintained at a high level, irrigated
lands must be cropped Systematically ano
provisions made for using legum1nous
crops such as peas clover and al1aIfai
along with generous applications OF ma
nure. Forty-eight plats are used in COM
pairing continuous cropping with various
rotations of the leading cash crops OF the
Gallatin valley.
Spring Wheat Varieties. Seventeen diff
ferent varieties and strains Of spring
wheat are being tested. OF the hard rec
spring wheat, Supreme and Marquis are
outstanding. During the past four years
Supreme a outyielded Marquis almost
10 per cent and has proved equal u
Marquis in milling and baking tests. Al
though not strictly pure, the advantage
in yield is such that the agronomy de-
partment feels justified in recommend
ing Supreme as a standard variety anc
has already taken steps to increase seeC
for distribution to farmers. Among tn
white wheats, Federation and Dicklov

melded only in the intermountain sec
lions where a high-yielding variety is de
sired for producing feed or in irrigated

The highest price brought by mixed
yearling beef in the history of the
Judith Basin has been received by
the Reed brothers, Windham, for 80
head Of HerefOrds, which were sold to
L. p. Smith, Shef1eld, Ill, for SIS q
head, delivered at the railroad. The
cattle Will be loaded before Sept. Is,
and will be shipped by way of the
Great Northern railway to Buda, III,
to MIR. Smiths partner, who will retail
them to feeders.
The Reed brothers raised the cattle,
put them on full feed last fall, keeping
them there till the grass vas well started
this spring. Feed used was ground oats
and barley and alfalfa hay. Mr.. Smith
estimates h cattle will average 600
pounds, this making the price paid eight
and one-third cents a pound.
Mr.. Smith has bought $50 yearlings
from various cattlemen, which were not
grain fed, at from $50 to $45 a head. he
says that quality is the first considera-
ton with the feeder buyers, and that It
will be easier to sell the SIS grain fed
yearlings than the $50 and $45 grass fed
ones.
Uniformity is another big factor in
getting good prices for feeders, according
to Mr.. Smith, and the Reed yearlings
were all Herefords, Of an even size and
color, which added considerably to their
value. Last year Mr.. Smith bought 1850
nedo OF cattle IN the vicinity OF HoDSOn
for shipment to Illinois feeders. He says
his customers were we'll satisfied with
Montana cattle and urged him to ship
them more this year.
The Reed brothers are well known
throughout h state, Fred being one Of
the best riders appearing in rodeos until
he broke his hip last year, and Mike
being manager Of many Of the largest
rodeos in the country, including the 1926
and 1927 rodeos at Great Falls and the
