Mr. Tash went looking for a tentative location but returns home much disappointed with what he found there. Crops in the Montana country this year ap proach a complete failure, according to Mr. Tash, and he doubts if enough wheat will be threshed in the entire state to make seed for next yar. In the Judith basin country, where ab normally large crops were raised last year, and a country which Is renown ed as a wheat producing section, the grain is very poor, not beiug as good as the crops in Morrow county. Mr. Tash says there lias been no growing weather in Montana this year, and from all appearances, tho grain did not much more than get through the ground in many places before being cooked by the dry hot burning weath er which that country has been experiencing.
