' 24.5 inches . The most significant feature of this rainfall) howevur, is that it comes during tho nummei months, while the grain ic actually growing. Tho uvernge for tho month of May being 3 inches, June 3 inches, July 2 inches and August 2 inches. Thus, the wheat which is just ap pearing from the ground in Mny, is kept con stantly soHked until harvest, which comes late in August. This differs from other states, and wheat countries, which apparently have as grout or greater rainfall, but receive no rain in the summer months. Crops in such localities rarely receive any rain at nil utter it is rcudy to head out. Our Montana rainfall, licwki.se is an approximate duplicato of tho above, which is the official figures for tho Lcthbridgo district. The amazing crops of 1017, in the vicinity of Stirling, Raymond and New Dayton, where wo have extensive holdings, were produced with less thun 11 inches of ruin, which was, with ono ex ception, the lowest rainfall in 1(1 years.
