PREDICTS SMALLER
1916 WHEAT CROP

The Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, in its June l crop
report, released this week pre-
dicted that the 1916 wheat crop
would be approximately eight
million bushels less than iE.
1915.
The forecast was 40, 1886, 900
bushels as compared to 57,726,-
900 bushels last year. Poor soil
conditions in principal wheat
areas of the state were given
as the cause of the lower fig
ure.
The indicated production for
spring wheat is 22,021 900 bush
els and for winter wheat is IT,
965 900 bushels.
This years crop of oats will
probably be a little smaller
than last years and more than
two million bushels below the
10-year average. Barley produc-
ton will also probably be slight
ly less than it was last year.
While the conditions up to
June l resulted in a generally
poor outlook for grains il
Montana weather factors be-
tween now and harvest time
may change the picture consid-
erably.
Hay condition on June 1 was
reported below average for all
varieties. Pasture was also be-
low the normal. This was a re-
suit of low rainfall in the
months of April and May and
cool weather in May. Hay crops
were nipped by sharp frosts ON
more than one night last
month.
Fruit prospects for the state
were also hurt by the May
frosts with Ravalli county hard
est hit \ large crop of sweet
cherries in the Flathead lake
section was predicted and the
apple crop in Carbon county is
expected to be heavy.

We'll Bet on
The Donkeys!

According to them, members
of the Hardin Kiwanis club are
better managers of that most
to say nothing of having more
skill at baseball than the Hal
din Lions club.
What's more, they're ready to
prove it. They have issued a
challenge to the Lions to meet
them in the game of Donkey
Baseball at the Hardin fair
grounds field on Saturday,
June 20, at 7:15 D.. m.
Certain members of the XII
wants club insist that a donkey
can only be handled with pro-
family and boast of their PROV
ess. Others say that all that is
needed is a little tact and
maintain that their diplomatic
technique is far superior to that
of the Lions.
Both factions may be fooled,
for the dOnkeys to be used are
owned by Jack Moore and are
specially trained for Donkey
Baseball. The string appeared
here several years ago and has
toured the entire nation.
Members of the two civic
clubs are due for fumbles and
spills before the game is over.
A complete lineup and the
Lions answer to the challenge
will appear in next weeks ed
ition of the Hardin Tribune
Herald.
