YELLOWSTONE COUNTY. 



Billings Gazette: Harvesting in the great Yellowstone valley has already com- 

 menced and by the middle of this week the cutting of winter wheat will be in full 

 blast all over the country. The yield will be great, especially on irrigated tracts, 

 while on dry land farms it will be about the average of a year ago, when it was 

 exceptionally good, the crop running as high as 30 to 35 bushels to the acre. 



Billings Correspondence Helena Independent: A. C. Logan, whose ranch of 400 

 acres lies about two miles northwest of Billings on the edge of the high bluff which 

 lines the Yellowstone valley on either side, has just finished his threshing and the 

 yield averaged a little under 25 bushels to the acre on the entire 400 acres. These 

 are considered about average yields. 



Laurel Sentinel: F. Farrar is one who can tell a story of prosperity as a result 

 of farming on the high lands. He had a 30 bushel wheat crop from 107 acres, and 

 will put in a 70 acre crop this fall. He located on his place about seven years ago, 

 and now has all his farm machinery, good improvements and everything paid for 

 and a $2,400 'bank account as a result of his crops. C. H. Ferine had a 49 bushel 

 wheat crop from summer fallow land. D. W. McCarnan realized 37 bushels of wheat 

 to the acre from a 35 acre tract, first crop. H. W. Wallace reports a wheat crop 

 yielding up to 27 bushels per acre.

One of the best means of jnclging- the agriculttiral conditions of ^lontana 

 is by the study of a list of its prodtictions. It is safe to^ say that every 

 fruit, vegidtable and cereal tliat matures in the temperate zone can be 

 successfully grown here, and it is interesting to note that in 

 ^n-Competi- addition to the fact that IMontana produces more per acre of 

 tion With standard crops than any O'ther state in the Union, the quality 

 the World, of these productions is tniiformly high, and that in competition 

 Montana with all the world Montana is invariably returned prize-winner
