Reports on Counties Seek Federal Aid for Crops and Wages
The Montana Council of Defense reports from seven counties on farm needs and potential yields with federal aid. Of 7,000 survey responders, 6,648 seek fall and spring crop support. 2,649 seek off-farm work. Total assets of respondents reach about 62 million. debts exceed 15.9 million. Projected wheat acreage grows from 52,908 in 1912 to 799,540 in 1918 with output rising to 1.686 million bushels by 1917. Without aid, acreage and livestock sales would drop sharply. with aid, farmers could expand wheat and rye plantings dramatically.
