BIGGEST YIELD
WINTER WHEAT
IS PREDICTED

Planting Begins

Prospects appear favorable for an
unusually good crop year in Mon
tana. The federal agricultural sta
tistical service at Helena says win
ter wheat at the present time in
Gicates a production of 34,200,000
bushels from 100000 acres seeded
last fall-an average of 10 bushels
per acre, or the largest winter
wheat crop Montana has ever pro-
duced. The acreage is the states
largest and the average yield, now
indicated at 10 bushels, is higher
than the 1936-45 average of 1876.
Rains last fall were sufficient and
favorable for termination, but in
some areas the frequent storms
halted complete seeding of intended
acreage. Also there has been some
loss from freezing and soil blowing.
The past week was the warmest
of the present season, with highest
reading recorded Sunday and Mon
day. Missoula airport reported 70
degrees on those days. Other days
were neal or below freezing at near
ly all stations throughout the state.
Grain planting progressed rapidly
the week when fields were
workable, and sugar beet planting
began in Yellowstone and Ravalli
counties. The sugar beet acreage
will be reduced in Carbon county
due to the season being so late, and
more acreage will go into beans if
the seed can be secured.
Although farming activities r
being stepped up, the season varies
one week late in western Mon
tana, to six weeks late in some
on the extreme eastern bOr-
Ter. In general the crop season is
considered two weeks later than
Usual.
There are some dark spots in
he overall crop picture. Abandon

in Flathead county that
abandonment will be as great as rs
Ter cent in some fields, and in
