Spokane cattle yards push Montana stock to forefront
John H. Roberts of Spokane’s Union Stock Yards says Montana ranchers are shipping more cattle to Spokane. He predicts 1918 will surpass 1916 receipts with about 2,000 cars. Sheep and hogs rise, 35 cars sold in one day, and Armour and Swift entering the market signal a growing packing industry with small shippers gaining access to strong buyers.

Marquis wheat praised as highland climate performer
A Montana farmer extols Marquis wheat, claiming it yields 80 bushels per acre in high elevations, grows 10 to 20 days earlier than Defiance, and stands taller than kherson oats. Developed in Ottawa Canada, Marquis is crossbred from early red fire, early India, and Calcutta wheats. It is sold by seedmen and valued for irrigated and dry land production.

High Grade Wheat Grown At Highwood
The first load of wheat marketed in Highwood came from F. F. Damson’s farm nine miles from town on North Beach. It grades No 1, weighs 62 pounds per bushel, and is being threshed by a combine. Damson expects 25 to 30 bushels per acre on about 700 acres. His best field yields surpassing prior estimates boosts optimism in the Highwood district. Four new aviation fields named Mitchel, Lufbery, Damn and Chapman honor American war pilots who died in service.
