In confusing thV Northwest with
tho northwestern corn belt. Ah Is
popularly supposed, there, has been
a, tremendous increase in corn

Important expansion lias been In
long-established corn sections, In
cluding Iowa, Nebraska uud Min

lUirmehtter i.i joined by I'Yed
erlck I. Itiehey, agronomist.
"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. In 19L'3 Mon
tana averaged 26 bushels per acre,
1 a bushels more than last year.
I The Imkotas dropped trout 34

tfurmeister pointed out that hogs
have followed corn Into tho North
