5 RRR BIGGEST GRAIN RESERVES EVER BLD ON FARMS Report of Bureau of Governnient Estimates Shows Farmer Not Pinched for Money INTERESTING TAX DATA Government Conjectures Farm- ers Will Pay State Tax on Average of $37 Per Acre ’ The bureau of crop estimates thru its state field agent issues the follow- ing report covering farm grain re- serves for North Dakota and the Unit- ed States on March 1: This long established custom of tak- ing stock of farm grain reserves on March 1st is always of national inter- est. It indicates the amount of the carry over of grains from the previous crops that the nation has on hand, be- fore the planting for the new crop begins. The inquiry for North Dakota just completed shows that most of the counties in the eastern third of the state representing from one-third to one-half of the acreage of all culti- vated crops has nearly an average or more than average farm grain re- serve with barley showing a surplus noticeably above the average. Prac- tically 75 percent of the barley acre-| age was located in the eastern third of the state and with few exceptions the yield thruout this area las aroun daverage or better. Reserves in the western two-thirds of the state with very few exceptions are below average. This condition is very nounced in regard to feed crops particularly in the northwest qui of the state where with the po exception of wheat the feed and si situation is very short. The cau the very moderate sized wheat re: in comparison to the size of the crop last year is due largely to the govern enson was ment fixed price removing the incen-| ¢ tive to hold for more favorable price. This condition with heavy financial obligations has brought the bulk of the wheat itno the market. A_notice- able feature of the seed situation this spring is the unusual demand for clean durham seed. In fact the demand ex- ceeds the supply of good clean seed. | fi Oats marketing has been extremely light except in‘a few eastern counties owing to the rather limited size of the Coming to Bismarck Dr.Mellenthin SPECIALIST For His Seventh Year in North Dakota .

There is a good demand for | clean oats seed in all counties, Bulk of local seed unfavorably dirty for seed purposes. The cause of heavy barley reserve in the eastern or heavy barley sections is the unsatisfactory price. Owing to this condition with high price ; of pork and shortage of oats in a good many counties farmers are in-| clined to feed barley to hogs and use! it for general farm feed purposes dur- ing the coming season. In some in- stances this will mean a curtailment of barley in favor of wheat,acreage. | The North Dakota wheat reserve on March 1 remaining from the 1918) crop of 101,010,000 bushels is estimat-! ed to be 19,192,000 bushels compared with 11,760,000 bushels _a year ago, 11,011,000 bushels in 1917 and 39,512, 000 bushels in 1916.

A survey of the average value per acre of farm lands in the state shows $37.00, all farm lands with improve- ments $43.00, all farm lands without improvements $35.00 per acre. Ex- cepting poor plow lands which only show a gain of $1.50 per. acre, this survey indicates an increased valua- tion of $2.00 per acre for all classes of farm lands over a year age. A re- view of the increase in land values in recent years shows that the annual increase has ranged from $1.50 to $3.00 per acre, the ratio of i being the lowest of all clas: plow lands and the highest fe plow lands. This condition is more moiked annually showing a decided tendency on the part of the lan:I buyer to demand quality. A. J. SURRATT, tate Field Agent.

[KENMARE PLANS _ ! ‘By George E. Akerson, (In Minneapolis Tribune.) chairman of the ‘Republican national eémmitee, to tye Twin Cities today, attention is focused on ‘the political situation in the northwest. (Mr. Hays edmes to study the condi- tions at close range and to offer his help in solving -organization’ prob- lems. There is no disguising the fact that there is a muddley condition in Min- nesota, in the Dakotas and in Mon- tana. To insist otherwise would be to follow the lead of the ostrich. On the other hand, it must be re- jcorded that there 1s a growing fecl- ing of party consciousness in the Northwest. The operation of the di- rect, wide-open, go-ns-you-please pri- mary had much to do with disrupting party organizations. The democracy of this section suffered as much as the Grand Old Party. ‘ With the menace of Townleyism, however, there has been a percentiblo siffening process.* Republicans par- ticularly are feeling that there is need for close formation, for closer work- ing together. So, in pointing out weaknesses that do not exist it must be borne in mind that there is an NEW CO-OPERATIVE SPREADING Last Saturday’s meeting of county agents, with agricultural college and government workers co-operating in southwestern North Dakota with ‘the farmers, brought out the fact that a gréat drive is on in North Dakota, as well as in practically every other state in this great country, which’ will with- out doubt mean more in hard dollars farming than any other organized ef- fort which has ever been made. i ‘The war has taught that by organi- improving farming conditions, to the This organization is commonly] Its activities tis non-religious, non- | It aids the farmer in improving crop | | TO GET PLANT FOR THE FORKS Grand Forks, N.

In tne session of the legislature just-ended at-Bismarck there were two parties, tlie Nonparti- san league. William Lemke,’ one of Townley's right-hand men, is chairman if the re- publican state central committee in North Dakota. But’that committee is republican’ only in name. North Da- kota, through the ‘efforts of Townley, Lemke, ‘and others,*has become the socialist laboratory of the United States, Townley, Lemke, -et al are opposed to the things the Republican party siands for. It isn’t Mkely that they will do much in thé next campaign to swing North Dakota: {nto line for the republican nominees ‘for president. eter Now, North Dakota has sacrificed itself for the socialexperiments.
