CORN 



ORN acreage in Montana has been declin- 

 ing from the high point reached in 1924 

 when 420,000 acres were harvested and to- 

 tal production including the equivalent of 

 forage was 7,560,000 bushels. In 1925, 299- 

 000 acres produced 6,584,000 bushels and 

 in 1926, 359,000 acres produced 3,949.000 

 bushels. In 1926 less than a third of the 

 crop matured ahead of frost. The bulk of 

 the crop acreage is located in the eastern 

 third of the state where both the 1926 and 



1925 seasons were unfavorable with the 



1926 season being unfavorable at planting 

 time and an additional factor in this year's 

 decreased acreage.
