BARLEY 



Barley acreage was again increased in Montana in 1926 and Jlith a better 

 yield per acre, production gained substantially over 1925. The increase in barley 

 acreage in eastern Montana apparently was intended to take the place of com 

 acreage which, as a result of frost and drouth damage of the preceding two years, 

 was evidently curtailed when dry weather developed in 1926. Barley in Montana 

 is largely utilized on the farm as feed, although some of the older barley sectons, 

 including the Gallatin valley, ship varying quantities according to market condi- 

 tions that make shipments profitable. Production in 1926 was 4,296,000 bushels 

 compared with 3,276,000 in 1925 and 2,600,000 in 1924.
