BIG INCREASE IN ACREAGE OF GRAINS IN MONTANA Deapite the fact that spring has I paid little attention to the agrlcul- been ultuaniaily backward this year nly in Montana but all over the northwe there is every indication tlf.at the ceolisaieLd at this etate will this year greatly exceed that of eine previous like period in the history of the abate agys J. M. Kennedy, corn missioner of agriculture. During the east two weeks excellent growing weather has prevailed all over the state, and from Troy in the far north western corner of Montana to Baker on the extreme edge of Cusier coun- ty,. Montana fannere are gratified at the excellent outlook. Montana's agricutural production this year Will be increased ont only by the heavy acreage yield of the various cereals, but also by the ex- ceptionally large quantity of new land which has this year been seeded. The field agents of the department of agriculture estimate that there has been an Inorease of more than 25 per cent in the acreage sown to winter wheat, and that the abandon- ed areas of winter wheat lands will be less than seven per cent of the total. In but a few isolated cases has the abatidonment of fall sown wheat been neceFsary, this being due to a few high wind a and in other cases to imperfect seeding. The spring wheat eceetige will undoubted- ly show at least a 25 per cent in- crease over that of haat year, while the . acreage devoted to flax will show even a larger increase. Wheat tad - flax will, of course 'thegreat stage crops of Montana this year, as usnal, but at the seine time pre- liminary estimates indicate that there Is increased acreage of rye, barley, oats and corn, the latter now being quite extensively and very sweetie - fully grown for fodder.

U nd the new grain inspection law, however, the state government will secure reports showing the exact amount of grain handled in each elevator and flouring mill in the state. When to this Is added the grain held for nod, which can be readily ascertained, it will be poet- gible to state definitely the actual amount of grain produced in Mon- tana. I anticipate that these figures will surprise not only those who lisve STEEL BRIDGE OVER JUDITH FINISHED BY MILWAUKEE Crossing Is 2,000 Feet in Length and 160 Feet High—Contains 3,500 Ton of Steel—Built In Record Time.

The condition sal all craps at this time is as favorable as could be\ex- Pected. Winter whi at Is up from eight to 12 Inches generally, and in some localities - from 14 to 24. It is thrifty and stooled out wonderfully. The ground Is in fine shape, being well implied with mcesture, and where the soil has been properly worked it is claimed that sufficient moisture is In the ground to mature it, even if there should be no more rainfall, a condition which is, of course, entirety unexpected. While the growing of cereals is the chief enterprise of a Montana l farmer, it is gratifying to note that, ail over the state there is a marked tendency towards diversified farm - lug, and that small quantities of live I stock, especially dairy cattle and hogs e are being added to the average , farmer's homestead. Nothing could be more conducive to the future pros- perity of the argicultural sections ofl this state. it is a well known fact I amply y_erlified by pagt experience,' • that regions' - in which diversified es farming it practiced, are uniformly , more prosperous than those in which, devoted to the raising of one partieu-i Lam crop.
