mented that would at some time soon
report further on these materials in
such ways as might be of interest to
the owners and operators of Montana
stock ranches and farms.
One kind of agriculture census mate
rial, now available for the first time,
gives a classification of all of the stock
ranches as to their size in terms Of
earnings and with this some of the re-
lated cost and income factors, by the
principal regions of the western states.
l am reporting some of this material
here because it seems to have special
applications to the economy and man.
agement of Montana stock ranches.
The region for which I am present
ing this material is large one, includ-
ing most of the plains country of north
ern and eastern Montana, and also the
'WeSt river country of western North
Dakota-that part of North Dakota
west of the Missouri river. The Mon
tana counties included in this region
are those of the north-central Montana
Triangle" those of the north Montana
High line" and those of the lower
Yellowstone valley. The area is one
predOminantly of northern great plains
stock ranching and wheat farming.
Six Size Glasses
For the stock ranches of this region,
a compilation has been made of the
census materials giving certain of the
management factors for six size classes
of the stock ranches in terms of the
gross revenue from sales. Size class
number 1 includes the ranches with a
gross income for the year 1854 in ex-
cess of $4,000. Size class number 2
includes the ranches with gross earn
ings from $4,000 to $4,000; size class
number 8, $1,000 to $4,000; size class
number 4, $500 to $1,000; size class
number 5, 81 200 to $500; size class
number 6, $3.50 to 81 200.
The 1854 census shows that, as Of
that year, there were 6,336 stock
ranches operating in the region. O
these, 427, or 81 per cent of the tota
number, were in the economic size O
class number 1, that is, with a gros
revenue in excess of SOS, 900. In tn,
