Late Spring Forecast Points
to Record Yield of Wheat

June /. Most of the state. excepting
principally central and south-central
counties averages above 90 per cent, with
Southeastern Montana averaging normal
and better. Slow growth due to cold
weather and late seeding was the prin-
cipal criticism of the crop in sections
where condition was reported lower thar
the state average. but weather. subse-
quent to these reports has been very IA
vorable for the plant development. II
June does not urn hot, the crop Will
stool heavily. and past experience for
similar weather in April and May indi-
Gates relatively cool June weather. Hot
weather in June would also bring on a
heavy weed growth In many sections.
Oats and barley likewise show a June
condition above last year and the 10-year
average. Oats at 80 per cent of a nor
NAL compares with rs per cent a year
ago and the 10-year average for June 1
of 33 per cent. Barley at go per cent of
q normal compares with 81 per CEN of
a year ago and 10-year average condition
of 80 per cent.
An excellent hay prospect for both irri-
gated M dry land crops is indicated by
the jun condition of SO per cent Of a
normal for tame and wild hay. This is
in contrast with the situation a year ago
when both tame and wild hay were be-
low the average. A relatively large hay
crop is needed this year to restore old
which. with the short crop Of
1926 and heavy winter feeding demands,
were reduced to low points over most OF
the state this spring. Alfalfa, which was
rated at 90 per cent of normal on June l
has improved since with more s~easonable
temperatures. and. while first cutting
may be a little later this year than last,
a better tonnage than last year is ex-
pected.

SANDERS GETS NEW.
EXTENSION AGENT
(From Montana State College,

frank j. KERSHISNIK has been ap-
~ pointed county agricultural agent
for Sanders county to succeed E.. j.
Haslerude, resigned, according to
an announcement by j. c.. Taylor, direc-
tor of the Montana extension service
Mr.. Kershisnik has been Smith-Hughes
agricultural instructor at Browning for
the past two years. Mr.. Haslerude has
accepted an appointment with the North
Dakota extension service.
The new county agent started work
June 10 with headquarters at Thompson
Falls. Previous to that he had spent q
week in the county with Mr.. Haslerude,
getting familiar with extension projects
under way. He is a graduate Of Idaho
university, completing his course in agri-
culture in 1925. He has had six wears
OF farm experience In Idaho under con
ditions similar to those in Sanders
county.
Mr.. Kershisnik will make the fourth
county agricultural agent for Sanders
county. The work was started there dur
ing the war with F.. M. Hillman, now
farming at Lone Pine, as county agent.
M. A. Thorinnson, now county agent In
Wisconsin, followed Mr.. Hillman, and Mr..

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Big Volunteer Crop
OF Wheat Noted i'm
MusselShell County

The volunteer growth of winter
wheat I'm the Milestone region of Mus
selshell county promises as bountiful
a yield and shows as even a stand as
do the sown fields. The situation Is
reported to be gratifying to the farm
ers of that section of the state in view
of the shortage of seed for spring SOW
ing and the brief period of favorable
weather In which opportunity was
given to complete the springs seeding
operations.
Volunteer crops are said not to be new
in the Milestone region. Two or three
years ago the fields yielded better thai
bushels of wheat to the acre with nc
expense to the grower other than thai
in harvesting and threshing.
The recent warm weather period ha
been of benefit to planted crops. The
prolonged spell of cold and rainy weather
has had the effect of roofing the crops
deeply in the soil and the belief pre-
walls that the delay in growth will prove
beneficial.

THE general crop prospect in Montans
is now better than for many years
according to a combined report from
the state department of agriculture
labor n publicity n j. G.. Diamond
statistician for the United States depart
ment Of agriculture, which bases esti-
mates on the condition of crops on June
/. The cool, very wet weather of April
and May has been followed by excellent
growing weather during the first part OF
June, which has already made up Tor
some of the lost time in May and April
growth. Grain crops and grass have an
especially favorable outlook. The inter
titled crops, on the other hand, have
been somewhat handicapped by earlier
cool weather. Continued warm weather
in JUNE would greatly help corn, sugar
beets and beans. which need the fun
growing season in Montana for best re-
suits.
Forecast Shows Increase
June forecast of probable production
for winter wheat and rye in Montana
both show substantial increases over the
harvests Of last year and the lO-year
average production for the state. The
first seasonal forecasts of other Montana
crops will be made next month. The

shows e,752, 900 bushels compared with
8,916, 900 bushels indicated a month ago.,
6,916, 900 bushels harvested last year and
$780, 900 bushels in the l0-year average
production. For rye the June estimate
shows 1852. 900 bushels: last years har-
vest was 1884. 900 bushels and the To-
year average production was 1889 900

The Blackfeet Indians of the Glacier

marked progress In their five-year agri-

direction OF F. c. Campbell that Ralph
Budd, president OF the Great Northern
railway, recently presented a purebred
Holstein bull to the tribal chapter
making the best showing for the sea-
sons work.
The railway chiefs object, of course. is
to further encourage these Indians In
their farming development work. The
glIt puli Is direct from the herd OF the
State Agricultural college OF Montana
and, co-incidently. 1t was awarded to the

F. c. Campbell. district Indian agent,
organized the fve-year agricultural pro-
gram for Blackfeet Indian farmers and
it worked so successfully the Indian de-
partment at Washington put it in opera
ton on several reservations. 1t promises
a solution to the American Indian prob
lem by making him self-supporting. I'm
der this scheme the Indians are organ
lied into chapters and their agricultural
activities are directed by h superin-
tendent OF the reservation. They are
taught better agricultural methods and
also the care n feed of livestock. In
the case of the Blackfeet tribe such
strides were made that the government
built W -four mills on the reservation
to take care Of the Indians grist.
Thus these tribesmen have become
producers for the trains OF the rail-
way their fathers used to contemptuously
shoot arrows at only four decades ago.

SMALLER ACREAGE:
GREATER YIELD

HvEN though Montana farmers plant
n. 10 per cent less spring wheat thar
A they intended to plant at the be-
ginning of the season, which seems
to be a reasonable estimate based upon
reports Of county agricultural agents,
records OF past years show that this may
be an insignificant factor in the total
wheat production Of the state this year,
according to the department of agricul-
tural economics at Montana State COL
lege. Crop statistics of past years show
that yield per acre is of far greater i'm
portance in determining the amount OF
wheat produced than the relatively small
fluctuations in acreage.
Since 1915, year to year variations In
wheat acreage have occurred ranging
from 10 per cent less to 90 per cent
more than the preceding year. Produc-
ton changes have shown a far greater
range. The crop of 1920 was 400 pei
cent greater than the crop of 1919, and
the crop Of 1919 was 10 per cent less
than the crop Of 1918. The 1925 croI
was 40 per cen less than the crop OF
1924, and that of 1926 was rs per CEN
greater than that Of 1925. In 1922, in
spite Of a s per cent decrease in total
wheat acreage as compared with the pre-
ceding year. the total crop was 10 pei
cent greater. In 1925 there was a 8 pei
cent increase in acreage and a 40 pei
cent reduction in production as com
pared with 1924.
II Montana's spring wheat acreage is
reduced 10 per cent from original In
tentions, total wheat acreage this year
will be approximately 3,342, 900 acres as
compared with 1866, 900 acres last year
An increase in per acre yield Of a little
more than a half bushel per acre will
make up this difference. With all the
adverse conditions thai farmers have had
to contend with the wheat acreage this
year is still likely to be greater than In
harvested, the second largest crop in the
history Of the state.

The outlook for livestock in Montana
this year continues to improve as the
season advances. Not only are ranges
and pastures the best In years. but the
early season prospects Of an exceptionally
large feed grain acreage are being full
filled. Eastern counties particularly are
going strong to oats. barley. rye, millet
and other feed and hay crops. The un-
favorable planting season and scarcity of
good seed is holding down the corn acre
age.
