Good Flax Market Is Forecast This Season
Increased flax plantings due to new lands and a favorable season have caused a seed shortage in Montana. L. D. Kurtz reports limited seed availability, with less than 1,400 bushels in seed growers’ hands locally and a carload in North Dakota. Domestic demand remains high and tariff protections may sustain good prices this year.

Farming soil survey work resumes on Milk River project
A detailed soil survey of the Milk River project begun last year will be resumed this month and likely finished by summer. Directed by William De Young of the Montana experiment station, the work follows similar surveys on the Walier and Sun river projects. Demonstrations by W M Skarda and Naylor of the Deer field community compare duckfoot and standard summer tillage, with winter wheat trials contrasting furrow and surface drills conducted by the same farmers with C M Huggine. The effort is part of the Fergus county crop improvement program.
