A special potato report by federal and state crop officers notes Montana produced over 6 million bushels with an average yield of 126 bushels per acre. About 55 percent grade U S No 1 and 30 percent No 2, with 10 percent unusable for food or seed.
The Montana Supreme Court ruled the drainage district statute enacted by the last legislature constitutional and not subject to attack. The decision found that lands may be brought into a district and taxed for public use with due process through notice and hearing, and that the commissioners act in an advisory capacity with review by the court.
Montana spring wheat tops a state ranking by the U S Department of Agriculture based on quality and No 1 grade percentage. Montana 74.4 percent No 1 leads Wyoming 59.4 and Oregon 40.9 with other states far lower.
The Franklin irrigation project near Franklin on the Great Northern, about 25 miles east of Harlowton, is estimated to cost roughly 750000 dollars. Henry Gerhart of Gerhart & Jacqueth says a dam will use Dead Man's Basin as a reservoir with miles of piping to service 160 acre plots. He notes potential to enlarge capacity to 115000 acre feet, but initially 60000 acre feet. The plan is landowner sponsored with bonds possible after a year’s report.
The work is expected to open for bid and, if on schedule, finish in 1923 with the following year’s use. Completion would boost productivity in the area and aid farmers by placing stations on the Milwaukee and Great Northern near the land. Landowners, with consulting engineers, act under the 1909 law, not state irrigation commission rules.
