Summer Fallow Exempts State Lands From Cultivation Rent
The Montana board of land commissioners ruled that state lands under lease for agricultural use will not incur the 75 cent per acre charge when in summer fallow. Rentals will be collected as grazing lands during fallow periods, while cultivated portions still pay the usual rate. The decision follows recommendations by H. W. Bailey and G. W. Cook, reflecting 2,453,597 acres under lease at year end. The board also authorized investing $6,000 of permanent school funds to clear old hail insurance warrants from 1922.
