MONTANA FARM REVIEW 



NUMBERS OF HORSES, CATTLE AND SHEEP BY COUNTIES. 



(As shown by Assessors to State Board of Equalization, 1923) 



DIVERSIFICATION SIGNS— About 160,000 acres more land were devoted to inter- 

 tilled crops in Montana in 1923 than in the previous year. The acreage growing s tric tly 

 feed crops in 1923 was 216,000 acres greater than in 1922. The number of milk cows in 

 the state increased 12 per cent in 1023, and the number of hogs 20 per cent. A big in- 

 crease in the number of turkeys raised was noted, and more chickens and eggs were 

 produced than ever before. A part of the increase in the numbers of sheep in the state 

 was due to the establishment of more farm flocks.
