MONTANA FARM REVIEW 



Oats. 



Production of oats in 1924 fell slightly below 1923 crop as a result of lower 

 acre yields, acreage in 1924 having been increased moderately over that of 1923. 

 Oats acreage shows a rather wide distribution over the state and much is grown in 

 the country west of the main range where dry weather was responsible for reduced 

 yields in the past season. Considerable oats acreage is also found just east of the 

 main range where dry weather also reduced yields. 1924 out-turn on the other hand 

 was somewhat better than average.
