State Agricultural College experts in Bozeman publish tillage method results funded by state and federal programs. The pages describe best practices tested for Montana crops and urge readers to preserve the articles for reference.
Cascade County farmers report Trebi barley proving high yielding under irrigation and hail conditions. Trials by R A Brookings, McRoy Kirby, J K Hill and E A Smock show per acre yields from 25.2 to 54.5 bushels with straw lengths from 30 to 42 inches. Trebi’s Montana history and extension adoption are noted.
A Montana feature in the new Treasure Lands of the Pacific Northwest brochure highlights Montana's rich metals and fuels. Copper, silver, zinc, lead, gold, coal and oil are profiled, with notes on Butte and Jefferson counties, coal beds, and the Kevin Sunburst oil field.
Field tests show Trebi barley performing rapidly and favorably under actual farm conditions and recommended as one of the best for irrigated land. In higher mountain valleys Blue Hulless may be suggested instead of Trebi.
Musselshell county ships its first carload of shelled corn to eastern markets. The high quality corn signals farming method changes in Montana as at least 26 carloads of hogs are expected to be shipped this spring and corn acreage rises countywide. From Winnett 20 carloads have been shipped. Last year’s corn acreage rose 50 percent over previous years with 1924 expected to match that increase. Washington approves over 500000 for federal bank buildings in Denver and Omaha.
Montana State College horticulture notes that celery seed formation rises with prolonged cold exposure in greenhouses or outside beds. Proper temperature control, particularly 75/65 F in greenhouses, prevents premature seeding, while 50 F or lower in houses boosts seed formation. Start planting in March only with reliable warmth, and avoid long hardening in cold frames. White plume celery shows best results at the experiment site.
fragmented OCR reads like a partial report mentioning a station and a “giant rascal” with goden self blanching, but lacks clear events, names, or dates to establish a full news item.
Reports from J. W. Tucker’s Montana trial show a 1,200 dollar acre income potential and 30 cent per pound appraisal by R. J. Reynolds. The St Paul Dispatch notes a feasible future for Montana tobacco with a 2,500 to 2,800 pound per acre yield and a silk, amber crop demonstrated in 1923.
A historical clipping fragment shows a price quote indicating "more than 23 cents" and a precise figure of "$2 per 100 pounds" but lacks context for a full event or item.
