25,000 'new 'families find .homes' in Montana every year.

At the present hite of in:i case MONTANA within FIVE
years will produce more wheat than any six sftatcs in the
United States. s . '
Scores of fanners from : Southeastern Washington and
Eastern Oregon are buying farms there every week. .

1916 ... . . . . ' 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.
