FOREWORD 



The 1921 Farm Review marks the sixth edition of this an- 

 nual summary of crop and livestock estimates with compara- 

 tive data compiled hy the State and Federal Crop Reporting 

 Staff. 



From these Reviews it is hoped that those people who are 

 interested in the yearly agricultural progress of the state may 

 obtain useful basic material. 



These annual Reviews are m<ide available to Monta/na pro- 

 ducers by reason of the cooperation between the Federal 

 Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the Publicity Division 

 of the State Department of Agriculture , under which agree- 

 ment all the Federal crop and livestock reporting work of 

 the state is conducted. 



The Farm Review is deeply indebted to Dr. W. J. 

 Butler. State Veterinarian, E. A. Phillips, Secretary of the 

 State Livestock Commission, and to the State Railroad Com- 

 mission, the State Board of Equalization^ the office of the 

 State Bank Examiner and the State Land Office for much 

 valuable statistical information relating to Montana Agricul- 

 ture. Members of the State Extension Service, especially the 

 County Agents, have contributed much valuable information. 



For the basic data upon which the estimates are made the 

 crop reporting service is indebted to upivards of 3,000 Mon- 

 tana farmers and stockmsn whose loyal cooperation in report- 

 ing work has made possible considerable improvement in 

 estimates and forecasts in recent years. 



The bulk of the text of the present bulletin was prepared 

 by Richard C. Ross, Assistant Agricultural Statistician for 

 Montana. All of the graphs were prepared by the Office of 

 the State Engineer without cost to the publication. County 

 computations were made by Robert Sharpies and Mildred R. 

 Cossey. The cover was suggested by Ray Bowden, Publicity 

 Director of the State College.
