S. Statistician —Barley Yield Is Up | Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 14.—Not since 1918 has North Dakota produc- ed wheat of such high quality as that which was produced this season when the average weight of wheat per bus- hel was found to be 59.2 pounds. With a state production of 114,158,000 bushels and only approximately 10 percent of this crop damaged by the precipitation of September and Oct- ober, North Dakota still maintains her pre-eminent position as the source of the largest supply of high quality northern spring wheat, snys the mid-monthly report of the U. S. agricultural statistician, issued today. There is some wheat as well as grains still remaining un- shed in the north and northwest- ern part of fhe state. In that region there is a light covering of snow which may be a severe hindrance to completing threshing. However, this remaining acreage comparatively only a minor percent of the total. The 1 production of wheat in | North ota was 58,660,000 bushels or an average state yield of 7.1 bus- hels per acre. Oats Great Crop also were a marvelous crop rth Dakota this season, the ing produced 4,000 bus- which showed an average weight r bushel of 35.6 pounds, weight of « bushel of oats in the United States is but 32 pounds which in itself indicates the extremely quality of that ‘op. Oats good crop in practically all s of the state, the state yield ; 34 bushels per acre.

Harley suffered very much discolora- Ttion throughout the northern andj central counties due to the h precipitation in September and Octo- ber but regardles: tion it has been a highly profitable crop. Flax Increased 1 bax seed thas very much inere: ed since one year ago in North L kota, This year the total production is now found to be 16,363,000 bushels, ield per acre was approximate- bushels of 92 pereent qualit x. The q of flax this yea was somewhat damaged by the rain since much of the flax had not been threshed. The 1923 production of flax was only 8,424,000 bushels or approximately one half of the 1924 crop. The 1928 crop yielded but 7.7 bushels per acre compared with 8.5 bushels this year. Corn as a crop for grain in North Dakota this year was seriously re- tarded and as a consequence much of the crop failed to mature to the point where it will ever be used as grain. The cool summer temperatures and early frosts, which occurred in some low valleys as early as August 13th, has permitted only approximately 30 percent of the entire state crop to be of what may be considered merchan- table quality. Considering the crop from the yield per acre it has only yielded approximately 23 bushels this y This is the lowest yield for the state since 1918 when the yield was only 19 bushels per acre. Based on reports of actual yields of potatoes it was found that the average yield was 92 bushels per acre this year of 94 percent quality. This is a slight deterioration of the estimated yield based on condition October 1 and the total production is 14,076,020 bushels or 880,000 bus- hels decline during the month. 92 bushels per acre is the best yield of potatoes in this state since 1922, which was the sume yield, in 1921 the yield was 95 bushels per acre. eS Weather Report | bb _____-_-____ For 24 hours ending at noon.
