Montana's 1888 wheat crop Of
70,9l6O 900 bushels viii remain the
third largest on record in spite of
drOp of more than $500 600
bushels reflected in the Sept. l
estimate as against the Aug.
forecast, the monthly report Of the
bureau of agricultural economics
showed.
with the winter wheat crop Of a.
O50,O0O bushels already harvested, the
estimate for spring wheat production
tumbled from 55.530,000 bushels indi-
Gated on Aug. / to 48,866,000 in the
September forecast Of the bureau.
This monthly decrease brought the
total down from 77580,0OO bushels TO
the present estimate Of 7O,Sl6OOO
bushels, but the latest figure was still
more than three times as large as
last years crop Of 21,9l8,000 bushels
and above the 10-year average OF Al
196. 900 bushels. The winter wheat crop
recently harvested more than trlpled
last years figure and the spring wheat
returns are expected to repeat the
performance with a slight margin to
spare, the report indicated.
Rust and HOppers
Rust and grasshopper damage &C
counted for the drop more than o.
500 900 bushels, the report stated. In
spite of Door Yields, which were run
ming as low as three bushels per acre
In the northeastern districts, the heavy
Yields reported per acre in the south /
central, central, western, north central
areas offset declines and the state
average for Sept. ! stood at 1872 bushels /
per acre, nearly double last years 1.6
average and above the 1O-year mean
OF I06.
Although corn, flax. potatoes, sugar
beets and apples suffered declines IN
comparison with Aug. ! estimates, the
forecasts Of these crops still stood well
above last years figures and the 10
year average recordings.
Sugar beets, affected in several areas
by webworns, were estimated 70 pro-
duce $4,000 tons, a drop of $4,000 from
the Aug. / forecast Of 100000: The
1887 crop Of $4,000 tons and the 10
year average Of $4,000 tons.
Corn Estimate Falls
Corn, estimated at 100000 bushels
In August was down TO 2,4SO'OO0 IN
the report, a figure which remained ,
out of reach Of the ! Isl 900 crop OF
1897 and the 10-year average produc-
ton of / 1862 900 bushels. GraSshoppers
that eat the silk jackets from the corn
were blamed for the drop.
Hoppers likewise affected flax, listed
at 1856 600 bushels as against $4,000
for Aug. 1. Although the Sept. esti- I
mate for flax was five times as large
as last years total crop 1t was below
the lO-year average of 10000 bushels.
Potatoes attacked in several regions
by purple top infection, declined from /
3 $40 coo bushels to 2,205, 900 as indi-
Gated on Sept. l. The latter figure
favorably with last years
crop of !, 800, 600 bushels and a 10-year
average Of 2.029 600 bushels.
The total apple crop at $4,000
bushels was down from the Aug. fig
lre of $4,000 and showed a decline on
last years crop of $4,000. The present
was above the 10-year average
If 489, 900 bushels, however.

Montana farmers and stockmen
eagerly welcomed irrigation prac-
tices that would bring them more
certain returns throughout 1887, IL
is revealed In the annual report Of
g. Il. Bingham, irrigation specialist,
who shows irrigable fIOod acreage
increased about ~ percent, general
irrigation about 80 percent and
stock water reservoirs nearly IS
percent.
Farmers spent nearly $4,000 on all
irrigation practices in the AZ counties
covered by Bingham's report. For this
amount the estimated Increased re-
turn annually for 1887 and succeeding
years Is more than STU, 900. During
1886 they spent $118.426 for an esti-
mated annual return Of $4,000. OF
even greater interest Bingham says,
is that rs percent of the projects laid
out in 1887 we're completed. This is
about 90 percent greater than 1896.
General Irrigation
Bingham heads his report with gen.
eral irrigation for 1887. This includes
remodeling of existing systems and i'm
provements such as land leveling, but
does not include pumping installations,
flood irrigation and stock water reser-
voirs; His figures show BOZ projects, OF
about 81 900 irrlgable acres, with 80
$25,77 and returns S32, 800.
During 1886 there were but 282 such
projects, covering about 1890 acres,
with about so percent. completed. Cost
was more than $44, 900 and increased
returns about $37, 400. These figures in
Guided pumping.
There were 1853 pumping projects
planned during 1887 to serve about
1000 acres. The cost was $4,000 and in
creased returns about $50, 600. About
IS percent of these projects were COM
pleted.
There were 655 flood irrigation prof.
ects planned during 1887, compared
with $50 for 1885, The 1887 projects
were for more than 81 900 acres and
1885 for about 1890. Total cost for
these projects, about 10 percent COM
pleted in 1887, was more than $4,000.
increased returns annually are eSti-
mated at more than $67 900. Total cost
for 1886 work was about $4,000 for
81 percent completion and estimated
annual returns nearly $4,000.
Bingham's report shows there were
241 stock water reservoirs planned for
1887 and about IS percent completed.
This compares with 131 projects for
1886 which were about IS percent COM
pleted. Reservoirs built during 1887
Served nearly 1900 animal units COM
pared with less than $4,000 for 1886.
Cost of the 1887 reservoirs was less

RAISING A. FAMILY
Dad May Fear The Strange
Person He Calls Junior

he was called, getting stubborn just
to show off and all the rest OF 1t, his
worst offenses were reported to his
father when he came home. AS
something seemed to be expected
Of him, Will Senior still took on
the burden of punishment.
Next, Mary learned not TO tell
her husband, because sometimes
he was too stern, she thought.
She took to shielding Junior.
When his dady scolded him for
something, she interfered and said
he was unreasonable. Perhaps he
was. He felt the undermining OF
any authority and 1t drove him
to extremes.
Father william knew that his
boy was getting away from him.
He tried to make UP for his form
err severity by taking Junior out
with him more. They went TO
bail games, and fished and had
some good times-while they last
ed. But at other times, the boy
showed a peculiar indifference.
He was far fonder Of his Uncle
Mack. He went to him with Sc
crets he would not think Of con-
fiding in his father.
Dad Learns Lesson
Besides, Junior was now too busy
with his chums to have much time
left over. The gang age was here
with vengeance.
Then 1t happened. It was the
father now who feared the son.
He did not understand him. He
could not talk to him and hold his
attention. He felt like useless
scenery. There seemed to be no
thread to tie them together, no
common ground.
The Wrights adopted a little
baby boy. And this is what Will
said to Mary: my dear, I wish
you would do your share Of cor
recting and not leave 1t all to
me. From the very beginning. I
want this little fellow to think Of
me with the same affection that
he does you. I don't want him
to think of me merely as STAN
dard. And I don't want to feel
strange to him ten years from now"
William was wise at last. And so
was Mary.

without implying that anybody Is
a monkey, 1t is interesting TO note
that animals have only one curve
convex or rounded back, in the
whole spinal column. So have hui
man infants. The concave or for
ward curve In the lumbar or loirl
region develops to establish stability
in the erect posture; it Is more
firmly stamped upon the spine Of
the European than upon the spine
Of the-savage and Is regarded by an
thropologists as q sign Of advance
in the scale Of evolution.
The highly trained athlete or the
Thoroughly drilled soldier does not
stand erect when at ease. It is nor
NAL and natural to change from
one posture to another when stand
ing for long time, to change the
strain from one set Of muscles to
another. The child or youth who
cannot assume an erect posture for
even few minutes, but shifts con-
stantly from one position to anoth-
err, is not so much victim Of bad
habit as he Is Of bad nutrition. Gen.

Tor Is ten years old, and not one OF
these things have happened, except
the bear and the piggyback bus
mess. But even they were OF short
duration, because Mary said 1t was
too exciting at bed time for a baby
to be rolled around on the floor
when his nerves should be soothed
for sleep.
No one could have told exactly
when 1t began. But 1t really
started with Junior himself. You
see, often when he was naughty,
and Mary didn't notice that ne
was tipping his chair and gurgl-
ing in his milk. william had to
speak about 1t. Mary was used
to misbehavior, and such things
as hammeSing with spoons and
examining mouth too full did
not annoy her In the least. But
with Dad 1t was different. He did
notice and said so.
