Small Town Elevators Tell the Story of Montana's Grain. 



Acre Value Production 



A comparison of the value to the farmer of an acre of hay, wheat, potatoes and 



oats in Montana, to an acre in any of the same twelve states is as follows: 



Hay Wheat Potatoes Oats 



Ohio $26.98 $44.88 $143.00 $28.16 



Indiana 26.18 37.56 127.88 26.46 



Illinois 25.00 38.19 136.80 33.80 



Michigan 25.80 36.72 99.75 23.36 



Wisconsin 29.41 45.05 102.60 29.04 



Minnesota 18.76 35.35 101.92 23.31 



Iowa 20.66 39.60 124.45 29.61 



Missouri 20.12 29.84 119.19 24.40 



North Dakota 10.12 16.00 55.90 9.30 



South Dakota 15.90 27.44 99.90 20.74 



Nebraska 24.32 26.91 90.95 23.18 



Kansas 24.90 24.16 86.64 19.84 



United States 25.40 28.46 123.89 24.36 



MONTANA 26.04 19.97 96.90 16.20 



It will be seen that while the above table does not show Montana leading the 



twelve states, it does show Montana to rank well with the others in spite of the fact 



that 1917 was an abnormal year.
