U.S. corn produc- tion was 3,159,494,000 bushels for 1917 and the carry over is 3.7 per cent or slightly, above the'average. The U.

October was one of the driest months on record. Conditions were excellent for the completion of threshing and digging potatoes or hauling grain but very unfavorable for plowing and sced- ing of.rye. Rye condition apparently is going into the winter very similar to a year ago or below average. Due to lack of sufficient help, drought, and the present influenza ~ epidemic the amount of fall plowing is noticeably below average. The sad trail of this epidemic is everywhere apparent over the state, both in towns and on the farms. Comparative prices of North Dakota products is given below.

D. i Value $7 700 \ Profit $. 25 er 1% Why Compare Beef and Coal Profits? Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one-fourth of a cent 2 no effect on the price. pound, and hence has practiceny. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound mean: a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of _ beef cf fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3% per cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1% per cent of the $400.00 alee The profit has little effect'on price in either case, but has less effect ‘on the price of beef than on the price of coal. ‘ Coal may be stored in the Open air-indefinitely; beef must be. kept ‘in expensive’ coolers because it is highly perishable and must be refrigerated. Coal is handled by the carload or ton; beef is delivered to retailers by the pound or ‘hundred weight. Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal is handled in oper cars; beef mast be shipped. in refrigerator Cars at an eyén temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift & Company, fairness to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It is impossible to disprove Swift & Company’s statement, that its profits cn beef are so small as to “have practically no effect on Ws : ae Swift & Company, U. S. A 5c
