Harry moved out to Montana and became a mustard seed farmer. I recall as a youth going on a family vacation to Montana. Our local butcher, Skwor, used Montana mustard seed in their sausage. We filled coolers with sausages of different types and took them with us on our Montana visit so Harry could taste the sausage with Montana mustard seed.

Big Mustard Crop in Sweet Grass Farming Region
Sweet Grass, Sept. 24-Farmers of northern Toole county have harvested one of the largest yielding crops of commercial mustard this fall that h as ever been grown in this region, giving them a neat income under the growing contract with the seed houses, which is said to be four cents a pound. Amil Klinert's mustard crop, east of sunburst, threshed out 1,500 pounds to the acre, and the Farr brothers crop, west of town, ran 1,250 pound s, and a number of other farmers in the territory report yields of a 1,0 00 pounds and over to the acre. The past few years, since this new crop h as been grown here under contract by the farmers, a field that produced 1, 000 pounds or better to the acre was an exceptionally good one, with about 500 pounds rated as an average yield.
Many fields of spring wheat sown on good summer fallow here in some of t he border districts in Toole county are running from 40 to 50 bushels to t he acre, it has been learned. Among the local farmers who report these bumper yields are Harry Tuma, Rudy Juderman and Ole Berkram. This goes to s how the skeptics that Toole County land here is still very productive after being under cultivation all these years, when the weatherman provides favorable moisture and growing conditions throughout the summer months as he did this year.
