PAGE EIGHT N. D, BUSINESS CONDITIONS FAVORABLE DESPITE DROP IN SMALL GRAIN PRICE —_— Payment of Debts Somewhat | Delayed by Falling in Quo- tations, P. W. Clemens, Far- go, Reports—Larger Tax Payments Reported by Many Counties Fargo, N. D., Nov. 1—()—Al- though a falling grain market has delayed payment of debts by many farmers, business conditions North Dakota are still very able, according to the monthl. vey of North Dakota busine ditions by Pierre W. C s dent of the N prepared for the nd its member news survey follows: BY PIERRE W. CLEME: Material evidence of the prog, which is being made by North Da- kota farmers in their debt reduction pro 1 is contained in reports © ceived during the past few ¢ from the majority of the county treasurers of the state showing that tax collections from January 1 to the last week in October average 15 per cent greater than for the same period a year ago. Almost two-thirds of the counties reprt larger tax payments this year, the increases ranging from 4 to 150 per cent. The greatest in- crease reported by any county per cent, and in the few counti whc :e the tax payments are small- er, the condition is attributed to delayed marketing of grain. Three weeks of clear, mild weath- er during the latter part of October —North Dakota’s famous “Indian Summer” season—has been of in- estimable benefit. been cleaned up with the exception of scattered areas along the north- ern border of the state and in the extreme southwestern portion. Hardly a day has been lost from plowing, picking corn, digging pota- toes, filling silos, sowing of winter rye and other fall work, and _excel- lent progress has been made in pre- paring for the 1928 crop year. Drops Cut Crop Value While conditions warrant the gen- eral feeling of optimism prevalent in the state, there is no denying the fact that the recent drops in the prices of wheat and flax have lopped off many millions of dollars from the value of the 1927 small grain crop. Since these crops gave good average yields, many farmers will realize a profit on the basis of + present low market levels, but the outlook is not nearly so promising as was the case two months ago. Hesitancy with which farmers are marketing their grain will continue to slow up collections, reflecting a smaller vol me of retail business than was anticipated. On the other hand this condition will result in a more orderly marketing of grain and more money will be in circula- tion during the winter and spring ~'“ifionths than is usually the case. Fall marketing of live stock is just getting under way and many millions of dollars of income will be received during the next three months from sales of pigs, lambs, beef cattle and poultry, Reports from the packing plants at Fargo and ‘rand Forks indicate that pork production will be close to the 1926 total, although the value of hogs sold and consumed on farms, which last yeat was place. at more than $30,000,000, will be consider- ably below this figure due to the falling market, which at present is about four dollars per hundred be- low that of a year ago. Any deficiency in income from hogs will be more than made up through sales of beef cattle and lambs. During October prices reached new high levels for both beef and lambs. An enormous in- crease has occurred in lamb pro- duction in Nerth Dakota, due to campaigns for three successive years in which thousands of breeding ewes have been imported into the state. Poultry Production Large Poultry production in the state this year will exceed that of a year ago by from 15 to 20 per cent, ac- cording to estimates from concerns buying poultry. Due to the Jong spell of warm weather, poultry mar- keting is barely getting under way and is about two weeks later than usual. Poultry shipments will not reach the crest until cold weather starts. Both chickens and turkeys are reported to be of better than ave! quality. i : Turkey production continues to in- crease and North Dakota now sup- plies a heavy proportion of the tables of the United States with the piece de resistance for the Thanks- giving meal. Reliable statistics are not available, but the value of the turkey crop in the state this year will be between two and three mil- lion dollars. oe A comparatively new activity that has made a strong bid for recogni- tion this year is the production of sugar beets. “With few exceptions the fields have paid labor costs and in a ‘t many instances a very poet oa profit,” is the state- ment of ot P; F ee regarding t Cass County, which comprise about Threshing has} | able increase in production will be the result for the season of 1928,” Burleigh Seed Loans Paid Seed loans totaling $85,000 were made by the Burleigh county com- missioners last spring, and more; than 90 per cent of these loans have already been collected, accord- ing to G, L.
