Montana Sees 25 to 30 Million Bushels in 1937 Wheat Crop
Montana Wheat prospects suggest a harvest of 25 000 000 to 30 000 000 bushels this year under normal July rainfall. Montana Flour Mills Co president Charles R McClare frames the estimate as conservative and notes rain improved prospects after a dry spring. The report maps production areas from the Rockies to the Alberta border and cites distribution through elevators across the state.

Control Methods for Soil Blowing Listed by Expert
Montana State extension agronomist Ralph D. Mercer warns that heavy rains destroyed protective cloddy mulch and high winds could blow soil away unless moisture spurs vegetation. He advises planting feed crops to anchor soil and provide pasture, delaying tillage until plants appear, using weed growth as quick anchors, and avoiding cultivation that promotes blowing.
