"Introduction of corn to the dry fa milng regions," Ulehey explains, '"does not signify tho creation of a new corn belt. There wheat is Ihe rash crop. Corn is grown merely because the farmer lias found that It fits his agricultural scheme. In stead of following a wheat crop with fallow-land, he plants corn. It keeps down tho weeds, stabilizes farm employment and given labor a larger and more permanent In come. "Montana does not pretend to rival Iowa In corn production. There were only 359,000 uercs of corn in Montana last year, whereas Iowa had 11,178,000 acres. Mon tana produced but 3.943,000 bu shels, whilo Iowu. led tho country with 413,G8ti.M0 bushels. Average production In Montana was but 1L bushels per acre, In Iowa 37. Mon tana and tho Dakotas together had scarcely more than a third txt much corn as Iowa produced alone. Boom Near Km I "The corn boom lias extended as fur into tho Northwest us it likely ever will go. There may bo futurn Increases In acreage. However, corn is grown on all the best land now, especially in the Yellowstone, vulley of Montana, und uny further expansion will bo in diy-farinlnK communities, where corn yield is low. It follows, then, that future uereage increase necessarily will I lower average production. "Already the effect of Increased 'acreage la apparent.
