The spring outlook is as favorable as it has ever been at this date. The volume of business in manufacturing lines, in the wholesale trade, in the number trade, and in retail merchandising is good. Banks are meeting the spring demands with- out evidences of strain, and over the entire district a condition of unusual activity prevails, The country as a whole will enjoy good business dur- ing 1917, Good Work in North Dakota. At this date a critical condition exists as to the northwestern wheat crop. Some delay in seeding has al- ready occurred on account of snow and wet weather, and it is possi that the acreage hoped for m be secured. Upon the other hand, the northwest has never seen a condition: of such vigorous activity on the part of farmers, bankers and merchants, t| this situation resulted in an immedi- ful year from an agricultural stand- point, and every force in the north- west has solidly united behind the farmers to provide money, seed and help, and to secure record breaking crops. The results of this effort are illustrated by the condition in a sin- gle Nerth Dakota county, where since April 16, organized work of the bank- ers and business men has resulted in pledges from farmers to plant 10,600 additional acres of wheat that would! not otherwise havesbeen put into the ground. Grain Outlook Fine. The natural apprehension that al- ways exists at this period should not ‘be allowed to create the impression that the northwest faces short crops. In the face of drouth, rust and hail last year, reports received by this bank indicate that the North Dakota | wheat acreage will not be much less jthan normal. Some increase will be shown in Minnesota. South Dakota will plant a good wheat crop. The acreage of wheat in Montana will be increased. The district, as a whole, with at least a week more before seeding is completed, promises to show a better wheat acreage than a year ago, put in upon carefully pre- pared ground, and under the most fa- vorable moisture conditions that the district has seen in many years, AS to other grain crops’ there will be a In North Dakota and Montana there will be a substantial increase in the flax acre- age. Very large increases in corn! planting are already assured, and should weather conditions during the period in which it will still be practi- cable to seed wheat, prove at all un- favorable, a sudden and very consid- erable increase in the corn acreage now in prospect, may be expected. The apprehension as to a shortage of good seed wheat was not well founded. Owing to the partial failure of the crop last year, some difficulty has been experienced in financing farmers at this time.

Farm Labor. There is apprehension among farm- ers that it will be difficult to obtain farm labor and there has been some disposition to hold back on spring planting because of this factor. The labor situation has not been serious so far as spring operations are con- cerned, and over at least 90 percent ot the agricultural portion of the dis- trict, there has been sufficient labor for seeding and other spring work. There is a probability that from the beginning of haying on through the harvest, the labor demand will be cume more pronounced, and in an- ticipation of such a condition, plans are now being thoroughly organized tv mobilize and provide farm labor wherever it is required. These plans have reached a point justifying the Federal Reserve Bank in stating to its member bankers that labor will be provided, and that the farmers need not be apprehensive on this score, Jn this important matter, close co- uperation has been secured between agricultural associations, bankers and the state and Federal Governments. A method will undoubtedly be pro- vided of mobilizing and bringing into the Northwest, if necessary, avail- able labor from outside sections in the United States. CANVASS. CITY.
