TOURIST TRAVEL
SHOWS INCREASE
Rockville Port of Entry Shows
Decline Over 1919 Grow
Agency Count Up

Helena, Aug. 2.-Since the open
ing of the state highway commits
sion ports of entry June IA, nearly
$4,000 tourist cars have checked
through stations at Grow Agency
and Rockville, south of Laurel. A
report released by Albert Erickson,
state advertising and publicity di-
rector, shows that 1926 visitor
cars were greeted at Grow Agency
and 1910 at Rockville through
July %.
This is approximately the same
number counted at these two ports
for a similar period in 1949. AL
though tourist traffic at the Crow
Agency port shows a marked in
crease from 5,718 to 1926 vehicles,
the count at Rockville has dropped
considerably over a year ago.
Rockville, however, is the only
station of nine operated by the
highway commission, to show a de-
cline this year, Erickson reported.
Tourist traffic for the entire
state is up approximately 20 per
cent over a year ago." the adver-
Using director said, "and Montana
appears to be headed for a record
year in tourist travel"
At the Crow Agency station,
Illinois cars are the most often
seen by the coybOy-shirted attend
ants. Washington and Wyoming
are the other top states travelling
U. S. highway 81.
Rockvale's top count is of Wyo-
ming cars, some 1929 having
checked through. California follows
with 6S8 and Minnesota 527.

BIG WHEAT CROP
HARVEST PLANNED
IN YELLOWSTONE
Glen Sheets Delivers First
Load to Hageman EIeva-
tor On Friday

The first load of wheat har
vested this season and delivered tc
the Hageman elevator last FRIDAY
was grown by Glen Sheets in the
dry land farming district south OF
Laurel. The wheat was No. 1 dark
hard and weighed 60 pounds. The
price at the local elevator on that
day was $1.87 per bushel without
protein content.
Shay Brothers, who farm in con-
nection with their irrigated hold
lngs a large portion of dry land
north and west of Laurel, delivered
the second load. They report their
wheat is running about 35 bushels
per acre.
While these farmers were the
first to begin harvest in this i'm
mediate section other farmers are
10Y preparing to harvest one of
Yellowstone county's largest crops.
Mr.. Hageman stated he believed
the crop of wheat in this district
would exceed the 1949 crop by 25
per cent.
Yields in the Mott and Broad
view section + expected to range
from 20 to 40 bushels per acre
The sugar beet crop is promis-
iT.P also, sugar company officials
report. Thinning has been COM
Ileted on 24,700 acres.
Second Largest Crop
A trip through eastern and EN-
trail Montana caused a railroad Of
ficial to predict that farmers of
this state may harvest "the second
largest crop in history"
H. H.. Ellsworth, Northern Pacific
assistant general freight passen-
ger agent, said the large crop may
be expected if weather continues
favorable and rainfall is adequate.
Ellsworth said: "After interview
ing farmers, r~anchers, elevator
men and county agents, it seems
evident that cool nights and ideal
growing weather is bringing crops
faster and healthier than was nor
mally expected because of the late
season..
livestock was never in better
shape, with an abundance of grass
range"
Feeder cattle will be moving to
market early in September, Ellis
worth said.
He reports all railroads are ex-
pected to have enough IRIS to haul
livestock and grain to markets.
