Seeding in the Gallatin. 



were present at the time the yield of 105 bushels per acre must be taken as correct. 

 This is the largest yield of any grain ever grown in the Terry section so far as we 

 have any knowledge, and we congratulate Mr. Morrow upon his success. From every 

 direction have come reports of great yields of both oats and wheat, but the nearest 

 approach to the field mentioned has been 85 bushels — and this was considered a 

 "corker." 



RAVALLI COUNTY. 



Stevensville Register — Pour hundred cases of celery will be shipped to Butte by 

 parcel post from the A. M. Hightower ranch on lower Burnt Fork between now and 

 the first of the year. This amount is the product of a combination of an acre of good 

 soil, 30,000 celery plants and the enthusiastic labor of Henry Hightower, a student in 

 the Stevensville high school. One firm in Butte has contracted to handle the entire 

 output, part being shipped soon, more about Thanksgiving time, and the remainder 

 in time for the Christmas trade. The shipment is made by parcels post because the 

 celery can be delivered to the rural carrier at the door, saving the expense of haul- 

 ing to town. The estimated net return from the crop will be between $400 and $450. 



RICHLAND COUNTY. 



The Sidney Herald — Dr. Magruder reports 32 bushels of blue stem to the acre 

 on his farm south of the city and 20 bushels of Marquis, the latter having suffered 

 from the frosts early in the spring. Peter Anderson threshed an average of 36 ^^ 

 bushels of wheat to the acre on dry land, while A. Vaux reports a yield of 37 bush- 

 els to the acre on last year's corn land and 25 bushels on another field, both dry land, 

 and his wheat in the valley, under irrigation, averaged 33 bushels to the 

 acre.
