MONTANA CROPS

Com. 



Corn acreage during tlie past five years has s'hown a remarkable expansion that 

 has probably been encouraged during the three years preceding 1924 by favorable 

 yields. Acreage of corn for all purposes in 1924 totalled 511,000 acres compared 

 with 365,000 acres in 1923, but production in 1924 was slightly smaller than 1923, 

 as a result of a very unfavorable season which reduced yields and cut the propor- 

 tion of the crop that matured as grain. It would be unfortunate if last year's expe- 

 rience with the crop were to check the growth of the enterprise, for the crop has 

 found a very useful place in rotation systems and has proven to be a good jrielder 

 of farm feed in average seasons.
