DETAIL OF INCOME SOURCES 



Wheat, the largest single income contributor in total income, is expected 

 to return $40,963,000 from 1926 production. In 1925 wheat income was estimated 

 at $39,904,000 and in 1924 at $55,879,000. 



In wheat, as an index of the grain belt of Montana, we find a somewhat less 

 favorable situation compared with both last year and 1924. The 1925 crop was 

 almost ten million bushels smaller, but brought within a million dollars of the 

 1926 estimated income. Important wheat sections of the state are also import- 

 ant cattle and sheep sections, so that increased revenue from livestock sources 

 has in a general way operated to offset a lower income from wheat.
