Montana Faces Dry Year With Major Losses
The July climate drought across western states including Montana drives heavy crop losses and stressed stock. Montana wheat output may drop by about 30 percent with irrigated land suffering from snow shortages and water scarcity. Farmers leave farms, while cattle and sheep stocks face sharp declines and potential long-term impacts. In Helena gold dust royalties reappear as mining pays in precious metal. Personal income tax returns rise sharply in 1918, reflecting higher state revenue. A federal probe into profiteering and hoarding is to be presented to a Montana grand jury.
