Excerpt from Irrigation in Montana The yields with their. Corresponding values given in the table are considerably above the average of the irrigated portion of the State. In many parts both water and land are cheap, and careless methods of farming are practiced. The land is not properly cultivated and much of the water applied does more harm than good. Farmers seem to prefer to go to the expense and trouble of cultivating 100 acres in a slipshod manner for half a crop rather than to farm 50 acres in a skill ful way for a full crop.
