United States appeared virtually
assured of a far above average

would give a combined crop of
1,113,705, 900 bushels.
In only four years in the nations
history has wheat production X
ceeded 1000, 900 900 bushels, and
those were in the last four years.
The wheat crop averaged 890,300,000
bushels for the 1O-year Q936-4O
period.
Fourth largest crop-Crop pro-
duction this year turned out to be
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-01

IT WAS A GOOD YEAR. Mon
tana farmers and ranchers can look
back over 1947 and take much sat
isfaction in their achievement.
1t was the 10th consecutive year of
above average crops. There was eX-
tensive winter kill of winter wheat,
enough to cause a II percent reduc-
ton in paintings this fall, and
drouth conditions in the later grow
ing period curtailed spring wheat
averages, but production still to-
tailed approximately 64,O00,000 bush
els, the seventh largest crop in the
history of the state.
Moreover, conditions were right
to make record protein content, and
with generally increased prices,
Montana's 1947 crop values scared to
1888, 000, 900, some $66, SOC, 600 more
than in 1916 and nearly three times
the average of the preceding decade.
Wheat alone was worth $166, 900 900
and accounted for three-fourths of
the gain over the 1916 crop value,
according to the bureau of agricul-
tural economics.
Shortage Instead of Surplus
A year that began with threats
of over-production and a predicted
drop of 10 percent in prices ended
with state growers cooperating in
the national grain saving campaign
to meet a vital European export pro-
gram and a new record price index
of 298 percent of parity.
Sugar beet growers also got a
break. Threatened with a serious
labor shortage, they enjoyed an I'M
usually favorable fall for harvesting
and, with increased availability of
machinery, were able to harvest al
most 100 percent of their record 3d.
900 acres.
Increased output of corn, spring
wheat, barley, rye, flaxseed, dry
beans, sugar beets, hay, apples and
cherries more than offset the re-
duced production of winter wheat
oats, potatoes, seed peas, alfalfa seed
sweet clover seed, mustard seed anc
sorghums.
During 1947 Montana farmers
brought some 100000 acres of new
land under cultivation, the bureau
said.

tana Association of Soil ConSerVa-
ton Supervisors by resolution is
supporting continuation of the soil
conservation service as an independ-
ent agency of the U. S. department
of agriculture to provide technical
assistance to soil conservation dis
tricts.
The association also favors in
creased research and educational as
sistance from the state extension
service and experiment stations. The
resolution also endorsed HR 4417
(the Jensen bilD which provides for
adoption of a constructive national
land policy which will strengthen
the Sos.
Opposition was declared to bills
which propose a drastic change in
the soil conservation program by
turning it over to the extension
service.
The resolutions further urge that
the soil conservation service simplify
and streamline its organization and
program, leaving the educational
work to the extension service, per-
hitting the SCS to give more tech
nical assistance to cooperating
farmers in actually placing conserva-
ton practices on the land.
Record steer price-PriceS on fed
steers reached new all-time record
highs of $40 a hundred pounds at
Omaha and Chicago.
The Chicago top price was paid
for 20 head of choice to prime 1920
pound fed steers shipped by Schmidt
Bros. of Delmar, Ia. The previous
worlds record price for fed steers
was 500, paid at Chicago for the first
time Dec. 9 this year and three times
since.
Good quality fed steers have been
commanding increasingly high prices
here since Nov. IA, when a record
of $38 was set. Then, on Dec. 2, that
record was broken by a price of
$3.50, and that record in turn top
pied Dec. 9 when the top reached
500.
In Omaha, 10 head of Angus steers
marketed by the Galbraith Bros.
of Beemer, Neb., commanded the
new record price of $40. They aver
aged 1910 pounds each.
Beetgrowers elect-Clarence Pop
ham of Corvallis was reelected ia
his second one-year term as presi-
dent of the Western Montana Beet
growers association by directors a
the 18th annual meeting in Mis-.
soula.
A goal calling for a 20 percen'
increase in 1948 in the Montan;
sugar beet crop was announced b!
association officials. This would in
crease the states acreage from 80,
900 to 100000, the Missoula district
from 10000 to $4,000.

a evere drouth which cut the corn
harvest to the smallest since 1886,
the governments final production
report of the year showed.
The total crop value was topped
only in 1912, 1914 and 1916. 1t only
was slightly % than l percent be-
low the 1916 record.
The report, issued by the agricul-
tural department, cut about 2 per-
cent of the November estimate for
the three major grain crops-corn
wheat and oats-to further tighten
an already short grain supply stu
alton and to complicate the foreign
food aid program.
The final estimate on corn was
2,400,952,000 bushels, or about A.
000, 900 less than the November fore
cast. This was 26 percent below last
years record of 3,249, $500 0 and 9
percent below the 10-year (1936-45)
average of 1859, 102, 900.
The final wheat estimate was l.
364,919,0 900 bushels-a decline of Al
$4,000 bushels from the previous
figure. The crop remained the larg-
est of record, being so percent great
er than the 10-year average and Is
percent larger than last years crop.
Won't buy U. S. wheat-Britain
will not purchase any So wheat from
the United States in the crop year
ending next summer, Food Minister
John Strachey told in an
nouncing a new. wheat contract with
Australia.
Strachey said the Australian con-
tract, which will run for one year,
calls for the delivery of 10000, 900
bushels of wheat at $2.75 a bushel.
'This enables US to take the whole
British requirement off the hands
of the United States government
which we realize is making intense
efforts to feed western Europe and
other which may be in great
need the remainder of this crop
year," said Strachey.
