 scattered a great deal. However, It stands as the highest yield reported. 



Big Timber Pioneer — Henry Keithley and family were in from his ranch home 

 and made a three day's visit at his father's T. W. Keithley. He says his crops were 

 light, having been struck by hail three different times, but his neighbors, the Dunn 

 boys, had 51 and 52 bushels of winter wheat to the acre.

Montana Daily Record— Fifty-five bushels of wheat to the acre is by no means an

 E. J. Hirshberg of Choteau, who is in the city today. He says yields have averaged 

 better than 40 bushels. One farmer, on a measured tract of 10 acres, threshed 88 

 bushels to the acre. 



Cutbank Correspondence in Helena Independent — A flax yield of 350 bushels on a 

 10-acre patch on the farm of Robert Paul, north of Cutbank, or a yield of 35 bushels 

 to the acre, is the best yield known, according to the best information obtainable. Mr.
