•There is a small percentage of duplication of income here, since it includes the value of 

 some hay and other feeds sold by farmers to feed stock which are later sold by others. 



MONTANA'S HAY CROP — ^Hay ranks second in importance among all the crops in 

 the state, both of acreage and in value. Approximately 25 per cent of the total cropped 

 area in 1923 was devoted to tame and wild hay combined. Practically all of the hay 

 grown is used in the state; less than three per cent is usually shipped out.
